The sound of the acoustic piano adds a lot. I think it's a more expressive instrument than the electric piano. He has a very distinct sound in his piano voicings.
From 1979, a very dark time in Eltons life. Suffering from substance abuse, depression, anxiety and haunted by the pains of his childhood, he had survived a second sucide attempt. His physical appearance was clearly suffering from the affects of all this burden. Yet Elton remaind a great performer and gave his fans his all despite all his struggles.
My uncle’s name is Daniel and he passed away on March 20 and they put this song on at the funeral and I was balling my eyes out when it said I miss Daniel I miss him so much I try to do a challenge of listening to this song and not crying and I always cry and know i know this song by heart
i was in moscow on that fabolous concert, 1979! and i never forget it! it is best in my life! that time Elton was best and i loved him so much! i travelling to moscow from estonia and without ticket! i was young and worked in estonian radio, like youngest musicredactor and i was great Elton fan!...
I felt that when the camera focused on 1 guy, looking very reminiscent. Many of them hadn't had very easy lives. I admire the Russian people so very much.
This show has just been released on vinyl. Such a great milestone in EJ‘s career, this solo tour of 1979 had a very unique feel to it. It was also the last tour to feature a natural/ acoustic piano sound. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes ! After that, he continued to use a steinway D but with midi layers of digital piano also. Until late 90s, when he switched to yamaha 9 foot grands.
I found this on vinyl at a hole-in-the-wall record store. I love this concert. As great as the studio versions of the songs are, there's just something about Elton performing the songs with just his piano and his voice. I'm glad that Sir Elton decided to approve this concert for a proper release so that we could ALL have the privilege of hearing it.
Actually on his early solo shows and some tours he did with Ray Cooper his piano was amped using Helpinstill pick ups. He has done a few solo shows playing an unamped piano like he did in Monaco 1984.
This album has been bringing me so much peace and serenity lately. This literally might be the greatest solo performance from top to bottom I've ever heard in my life as well.
Beautiful song, sir Elton John in his best time, and the concert-hall in the heart of my motherland, gathered all-in-one, adore! All the best wishes from Russia to each person, who reading this! Love&peace!
I love the studio version of this song… but this version just rips my heart out. It is so emotional and the piano is tear inducing. Bloody brilliant, this will never not make me cry. 😢❤
I remember reading or hearing somewhere that his piano teacher at the Royal Academy of Music never thought of him as her best student. Her very best student must have been a REALLY good piano player.
Daniel was Elton and Bernies best song ever written. The only song that ever came close was empty Garden by Elton John because it was sung About John Lennon. Lennon was a King 👑
best version of this song.
I love the Playhouse theater 1976 too!
This is the absolute best version of Daniel by far.
@@teib757 that’s a really good live version of this song to

Playhouse is actually better in my opinion
Love the studio version but this just blows it away. How can one man be so talented?

I’m sorry for your loss I hope ur happy and smiling
All my prayers and condolences 🙏
His voice now is still amazing, but when he was young holy crap….

hello, and at this concert there was a solo improvisation for the song I heard it trough the grapevine
@@blackstarburger3363 yeah, it was!
There is something so sad, beautiful, and appreciative about the Russian people as they listen to him.
they weren't allowed to move around or be energetic
Very beautifully said
@@FlourescentPotato try to wash your head from propaganda. It's a culture of listening, they listen to feel the music, not just "having fun".

@@hammond3656 no, there were literally enforcers making sure the crowd didn't get too rowdy. Elton talked about it. Sorry to break your tankie heart.
One of my favorite Elton John songs:)🎼
i love how the camera moves from face to face ❤❤❤
Elton John in his prime. Awesome video
Michael F he’s always in his prime 🤩
No wig or sunglasses
I think his peak was 74/75 but I also get it
@@Rocketman-bq4iothat was his commercial peak but he was not a good live performer back then, 1979-86 were his absolute prime in live vocal ability

40 years ago... It seems like yesterday. Giantest Elton John. Daniel, name of my soon. Thanks to Elton & Bernie.
I have seen him in concert 5 times the first was in 77. He is one of the the few artists that sounds just like he does on his records!!
So much music this man has given to the world.....and every song is top shelf.....incredible.....
I love the studio version of this song… but this version just rips my heart out. It is so emotional and the piano is tear inducing. Bloody brilliant, this will never not make me cry. 😢❤

Beautiful rendition of Daniel by Elton!
OMG my son is kicking out here and he will have the same inteligence his mother has 🥰
My first Elton John's video. VHS - 1986. This one's of my favorites songs. My son called Daniel, with 31 years. To love, Elton/Bernie.
Today is my birthday and I’m Daniel 🥲 this song makes me feel everything, I only hope this is one of the songs played at my funeral

It's also so interesting seeing how a very stoic culture reacts to such sentimental tunes truly bringing together completely different universes.
The Russian reactions are great. Long live elton!
