I think that Elton was and is one of the very few people that can pull off great covers of John Lennon's solo work. Wonderful performance, and so full of emotion, it makes you want to tear up a little.
What a beautiful song by an architect who enlightened us with words and music that will live forever in our hearts and minds Very nice performance Elton Love you John Lennon
good old elton john.he has been very successful from my school days in england.he never seems to grow old in music and even his looks.to god be the glory for keping him
Sir Elton John is one of the worlds greatest musicians. His songs, music, choice of words and melodious tunes rock this world. Imagine what a wonderful voice and a powerful representation in our universe. He is simply the best! There is no other man that can sing so sweet and demonstrate kindness and passion via songs. Cheers and Keep it going....I wish we would meet some fine day and I could compliment such a great artist in person.
I never thought Elton's biggest gift was his signing voice. It's sufficient but unremarkable, IMHO, but I still love and respect him. And I agree that George Michael has a better singing voice. :)
Scot Singleton read the lyrics this is anti religion , anti nationalist , anti racism pro humanist song . sorry to tell you but all this artist were liberal atheist .
Good cover from a friend & fan of the original singer/writer. I especially like the fun Sir Elton had when he changed the phrase once to "You might say I'm a screamer" !! Come on...any fan of John Lennon has to laugh!!! John must have loved it!!!! It's exactly the play on words which John always threw into live performances in order to drive Paul CRAZY ! (Back as far as: "She'd love to..Yeah, Yeah, Yeah). Brings John back a bit when I think how he must have enjoyed it! Thanks for the post Reg.
The words are great no matter who is doing this song..Elton is a classic act..nice to see him do this tune...John was just another special person in this world. What a fitting song for him to be remembered by after all that wonderful Beatles music.
I love Elton John, he is a great singer and pianist, and, I think he is amazing, thank you for posting, I never see this version before... very goooddddd
John Lennon and Elton John were good friends, and Imagine is a message, not just a song. Elton John plays and sings it beautifully; John Lennon said "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one". Elton John is just proving that.
I actually was in Melbourne - Australia when John passed and Elton played this song at his concert a mere 2 days later. The audience- many avid fans to this day of JLs sat and actually clapped to the beat tears streaming down there face and the lights dropped immediately after- it was then that Elton reallized John was dead. He recovered the show continued without fault. This version makes me think - God - I know who would have been there. Both versions brilliant. But why did we have to cry
AMAZING..........LOVE THE FOOTAGE............This is When Elton John was ELTON JOHN.........and John Lennon was THAT JOHN LENNON..........Very Close to Becoming a LEGEND!!
this is pretty much one of my favorite songs of all time...it's message is wonderful, he's not knocking religion or being part of organized religion he's just basically saying, "chill out we are all the same, why the hatred, and rules and need for possessions and other things?" We are all the same, created and loved by one god or higher power, can't we just live in peace? Very basic, sadly many won't embrace it... would rather start arguments on youtube...such the antithesis of his message...
Love this song. Not an atheist anthem - a peace anthem. I sang it for a festival earlier this year, and for my music solo assessment. It's a beautiful song - not complicated but it's wonderful.
John Lennon: hard if ever will he be outdone in the music industry in the past or future; and the passion he composed with the Beatles and on his own, but I believe Elton John did a beautiful job playing this song!! That is what is wonderful about U S of A, everyone is entitled to their opinion. People should listen to the part of the song that says, "the world will be as one" meaning no boundaries, segregating based on beliefs, color of ones skin or lifestyles!!!! To each their own.....
Damn, i just found this, its CONgenial, meaning just awesome. Its a big surprise for me that this exists, and i am downloading it right now 3 minutes after discovery. But then, wht else to expect from him? Another guy does all the lyrics, he turns it into beautiful music, turns the lyrics into perfectly composed songs, initially mostly using the piano but now the full scale of what a band can deliver.
Honestly, this song is perfect for Elton, It really reminds me of something that he'd actually write himself. Elton John and John Lennon are both legends in their own rights.
Mai do que uma interpretação fantástica, nosso querido Captain Fantastic homenageava um amigo, um irmão, uma pessoa por ele e por nós muito amada. é por esta e por centenas de outras que você . Elton, é e será THE ONE. Para sempre.
Both of them are my favourites, together with Neil Y. This tribute is so much more than all the others, because Elton wanted to play it although his friend was still alive and .............not coming....apparently!
they were very good friends, i dont know how anyone could hate either of the two, obviously both were incredibly talented, im a huge elton john fan but im also a john lennon fan, I think for the younger listeners, its nice to see someone from the time John Lennon was still huge, playing, because other than elton there arent many who can cover him and be considered respectable, obviously its not the same but still, id rather watch elton than some nobody cover John Lennon
miss you John L. thank God Elton is still here. Just think of the music we would be forced to digest today, bieber, lady gaga, ect... I dont care if you like them, there is no comparison to the legends.
I think that Elton was and is one of the very few people that can pull off great covers of John Lennon's solo work. Wonderful performance, and so full of emotion, it makes you want to tear up a little.
i love the singer, his face, his smiles, his songs.....thanks for this video
i respect elton john hes one of the few that can cover this priceless song
What a feeling to have thousands of fans enjoying your music especially this personal favorite of mine.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy 70th John. Music today needs a revolutionary like you!
Best cover of john lennon ever. Elton is fantastic❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂
Perfect version "Imagine" . Elton is legend.
Elton John Lennon. the best combo of artists you can imagine. everyone keep the dream!
What a beautiful song by an architect who enlightened us with words and music that will live forever in our hearts and minds
Very nice performance Elton
Love you John Lennon
verdade faço minhas as tuas palavras .
good old elton john.he has been very successful from my school days in england.he never seems to grow old in music and even his looks.to god be the glory for keping him
Imagine, de Elton John, a gente nunca cansa de ouvir. Uma, duas, três...
"You may say that I'm a screamer" the little cheeky school-boy grin on Elton's face was priceless XD
Sir Elton John is one of the worlds greatest musicians. His songs, music, choice of words and melodious tunes rock this world.

I love how he threw screamer in there lol naughty
My heart hurts when I hear this. Elton is a master.
I never thought Elton's biggest gift was his signing voice. It's sufficient but unremarkable, IMHO, but I still love and respect him. And I agree that George Michael has a better singing voice. :)
una gran voz!!!
la música de ahorita apesta! me quedo con la musica viejita :D
Look at the passion and joy of singing this song on Elton John is priceless.
That was the cocaine :D
This should be the Atheist anthem .
Gheorge Duarte You're an absolute fucktard for saying that, you POS.
Scot Singleton
read the lyrics this is anti religion , anti nationalist , anti racism pro humanist song . sorry to tell you but all this artist were liberal atheist .
Gheorge Duarte I would call it such too. And good reply to Scot SHingleton
Cjephunneh
yes sadly the bible and religion fuck that up .
+Gheorge Duarte you are so right but bevor the people wake up we end human beings with atombomb... see ya next life ;)
Great song RIP John Lennon
No religion would be amazing
this is beautiful. I know John and Elton were great friends so this means so much more.
First time I have ever seen this. Brilliant!! Thanxs to whoever put it on.

My goodness, I swear Elton has the best collection of hats ever seen!

I love Elton John, he is a great singer and pianist, and, I think he is amazing, thank you for posting, I never see this version before... very goooddddd
Beautifully done. Elton did a great job at covering the most inspirational song ever done.
I was there. Unbeleivable memories still linger. Hard to believe how much time has passed.
I stand corrected when I say no man can touch John Lennon's music. Elton John, you did it beautifully! Just as beautiful as the original.
This is exactly the person John Lennon would have wanted covering his song. Good on you Sir Elton.
Elton John is John Lennon... they're both so good! R.I.P. John. We miss you.
Also, awesome cover by Elton John.
Simply brilliant.
Elton John live is not to be missed !
Excellent cover of imagine. Elton gives wonderful performance as always❤❤
this guy has so much passion. very positive song. love the lyrics.
I have never seen this befor. What a performance! Great Post
one of the best, the lyrics, the spirits, the people, the music, and depth, and then there's death. such a journey...........

I love how he pulls his hands from the piano then continues playing without looking where to put them. The piano is a natural appendage to his body.
The truest song ever written...Thank you John for such a beautiful vision..
La mejor voz de Inglaterra!!!
AMAZING..........LOVE THE FOOTAGE............This is When Elton John was ELTON JOHN.........and John Lennon was THAT JOHN LENNON..........Very Close to Becoming a LEGEND!!
One of the best musicians of all time singing one of the best songs of all time for one of the greatest men of all time.
I had the pleasure of seeing him twice around this time. His voice is a shadow, but I still loves me Elton!
Geez I got goose bumps..Great artist great tribute
A legend doing a tribute for another one!
this is pretty much one of my favorite songs of all time...it's message is wonderful, he's not knocking religion or being part of organized religion he's just basically saying, "chill out we are all the same, why the hatred, and rules and need for possessions and other things?"

Simply beautiful. I Love Elton John. He is my Best Musician.
Hermosísima versión! Muchas gracias por subirla!
Thank you Elton, John Lennon lives forever!!
The only man who can perfectly cover this song :)
One of the best piano players ever. What he did in this song was briliant.
Just Elton can write songs like that. May he rest in peace!
superb ! both lennon n elton are classics !
Just the only one can cover this song perfectly !
John Lennon wanted to live in an ideal world... As we do...
Elton did a great job here. I think that's the best cover of this song...
i love this song, and john lennon
If only John could have had a piano across from Elton playing this with him. R.I.P. John Lennon. Well played Elton!
~BertlingMusic~
Best cover i've ever heard of this song
Beautiful! Elton does a wonderful job. I loved it.
no matter who sings it this song always makes me wanna cry :( such an amazing song! r.i.p john lennon
Omg I'm crying right now!
I miss you Johnny Boy. Youll always be in our hearts
Elton is talented but only John's singing could give you goose bumps...
I adore songs like this and I adore Elton John. So I love this video.
This is the best version of the song, I don't know how you could disagree. Elton John is awesome.
Love this song. Not an atheist anthem - a peace anthem. I sang it for a festival earlier this year, and for my music solo assessment. It's a beautiful song - not complicated but it's wonderful.
I love Elton's music! He truly is a master!

amazing song by john and sung beautifully by elton
Maravilhosa musica.
Such a great artist, we all love him, how couldn't you, he is one of the best known people and best selling musicians.
Damn, i just found this, its CONgenial, meaning just awesome. Its a big surprise for me that this exists, and i am downloading it right now 3 minutes after discovery.
But then, wht else to expect from him? Another guy does all the lyrics, he turns it into beautiful music, turns the lyrics into perfectly composed songs, initially mostly using the piano but now the full scale of what a band can deliver.
nice version well done once more Elton
Honestly, this song is perfect for Elton, It really reminds me of something that he'd actually write himself. Elton John and John Lennon are both legends in their own rights.
God I LOVE Elton...I am going to see him live one of these days!!
I've seen him live & there's nothing quite like it. In the middle, he does like a 20 min. piano solo. Said 'only old guys can do solos.'
Amazing performance of Elton John
linda musica

Wow. Great Stuff. Double Wow. Kind of wish john was still around but this is great.
I love Elton's facial expressions. He looks so happy.
You sound good singing this song
Elton, you are the best!
Linda música. Imagina um mundo perfeito..
Wonderful lyrics, with a profound message.
Wow superb cover ELTON
