What I love about this is that Elton still uses musicians that have been with him for a long time. Guys that are older, and still able to perform well. Many of the older artists hire new, young people to back them up, but not Elton-he remains loyal. They still sound very good!
Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life I am going to be 62 and have all your records and CDs l will love you forever love Sylvia from Colorado ♥️🤩
I've grown up, and better, because of Elton John. I'm the youngest of 5 children & while friends were listening to Bay City Rollers, thanks to the influence of my older siblings, I was rockin' out to EJ & Dolly & Bruce. Lucky me!! I took piano lessons when in elementary school. And when 10 years old, tired of the sheet music my piano teacher had assigned, I asked him to transcribe 'Crocodile Rock'. And he did, and I mastered it. I'm still proud of that. 3 times I'd bought a ticket to see him in concert and twice had to give my tickets away (once b/c of a death in the family and once b/c the sibling of a dear friend had died), and I remember being UBER hesitant to buy a ticket yet again. Suspicion a powerful thing...BUT, I did buy one, and no one that I cared about died that night and I saw him live in concert, once. And, I'll consider myself lucky.THANK YOU Sir Elton John. From your 1970 2nd self-titled album (released when I was 7 years old), to today (I just celebrated my 60th birthday), your and Bernie's music have, more than anyone (even Dolly Parton & Bruce, but it's close!), have provided the soundtrack to/of my life. And the Bally Captain Fantastic pinball machine that I have plays on. THANK YOU.
@@misterfunnybones Exactly, and it does make for a beautiful sound, beautiful. Billy Joel is still kicking out he upper ranges with gusto. and he and Elton together was a great combo and a really life affirming experience of a gig. Bravissimo!
I can't bring myself to say FAREWELL to My Main Man Elton. My eyes are tearing up as I type this. You've worked so hard to bring us joy and happiness with your angelic voice and music, my Elton. You and Bernie are the best team going. Enjoy your well deserved retirement with your beautiful family. Please take care of yourself, MY MAIN MAN, ELTON. I'll always listen to your greatest music ever. I love you, MY Sir Elton.
Thank you for all the music and joy your brought to me. I have been with you since the 70's and only wish you well and love. Will surely miss you. Thank You Sir Elton.
Hearing this now, in this moment, and I see Elton's entire career flashing before my eyes. All of it. From the U.S. debut at The Troubadour in Los Angeles to this. God bless Elton, Bernie and all the fantastic musicians who've ever worked with him. I'm glad he's going out on top.
The ending made me emotional. watching Elton John walk down the Yellow Brick Road for the last time and fading away. It's like watching the end of an era and a part of my life saying goodbye. and it also makes me feel old and makes me reflect on my own life. I can remember being in my youth and hearing Bennie and the Jets for the first time. and thought it was such a cool and amazing song. and Elton was young and on top of the world, but now I am watching him retire, and other rock stars I grew up with passing away and have gone down their own yellow brick road. or highway to hell. or stairway to heaven. or maybe they just all checked into the Hotel California. I don't know, but they all added something to my life growing up. goodbye Elton. enjoy the next chapter of your life with your family.
Still a powerhouse performer! His kindness and love for his crew, band, fans and family make him shine so much brighter than any other. We love you Sir Elton! Enjoy more time with the fam but if you ever get itchy to perform, we’ll be here. Thanks for posting this for us. I had no idea he was even doing a last tour! 🫶🏼
What can be said?? That’s already been sung !! I thank God Almighty gifted this man and his associate’s !!!! They brought so much joy and solace , just what was needed , at the perfect time !! In good time’s and bad !! Even solace, (Those Sad Song’s) !! I love Him and respect Him !! Thank’s for your professional conduct through the year’s !! Phillip W. Tucker
I’d love to know if Sir .Elton John himself read this post !! I wrote it on the spur of the moment , immediately after his, speech at the end of their last concert in Sweden !! I saw Sir.Elton and Billy Joel at the Atlanta around 1995 at the Georgia Dome ! I had my ticket for the Nashville Tennessee , Nissan Stadium one year in advance for that show, I wasn’t’ feeling well and was unable to attend !! I’ll alway’s love Sir.Elton !! I’m so happy for Him, He can take a well deserved breath ! I most surely hope to see Him , at some point , at a limited engagement , somewhere , down the road,(That Yellow Brick Road ) Sincerely !! Phillip W. Tucker May God’s Richest Blessing’s, be upon You and Your Entire Family (Sir.). !!
We’ve never seen a rock star go out on his own terms with such flair, grace and style, with his incomparable musicianship intact and his gracious heart on his sleeve. Long live Elton John! Now when is the next album of original songs coming out? We want more!
Sir Elton is brilliant and love him and so amazing and best you are and everyone there standing ovation. Applauses standing ovation. Thank you all there who make the magic happen thank you.
Hi Elton have a great holiday and enjoy your family I was lucky enough to work for him in the 80s and he is still the best musician to work for …love to you and yours Elton and David……thanks for the memories….
Elton has been with me since I was probably 10 or 11 and I’m 58 now he has been such a great part of my life either on AM or FM 8 track or album CD he’s never let me down always the greatest
Grazie Elton per tutte le melodie che ci hanno accompagnato negli anni sei e resterai sempre il numero uno e nei nostri cuori.Buona vita a te e alla tua famiglia
Did I miss the thanks to Bernie Taupin??? Without Bernie Elton wouldn't be doing his final performance. Without Bernie Elton wouldn't have created all the hits that propelled him to commercial stardom. So, how about someone talk about Bernie???
It's always sad to see these musician retire and bands. But they do deserve to spend time with family with there retirement! To wake up and not worry about work or being somewhere for an event.
Here you have Elton with an incredible long-lasting career, and then surrounded by a band of players who have longevity, talent to match their years, and institutional knowledge of Elton’s playbook and career. His crew must be an outstanding bunch. And a family reunion to boot. Band members in suits and tie is also not your normal styling?! Thank goodness he has been captured on video so we can revisit it when we are missing seeing him perform live. 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑NZ
EJ should've quit 15 years ago when he lost his singing voice. But what better way to pack the stadiums than by convincing people this will be the last time you'll see ej live in person. Actually, I can guarantee EJ will be back in less than 12 months.
Well, it had to happen sometime. Sir Elton John has been making music for close to sixty years, and it’s now time for him to enjoy his retirement from the yellow brick road of musicianship, and spend some time with his family. And to close out his show with “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”:(which I heard in the summer of 1974 as a lad)? Priceless. Nobody will ever forget the Rocket Man. Trust me. UPDATE: The video cut off at the start of “The Bitch Is Back.” Whoops!
I have tried my best to find a large poster with the scene in the movie of him in the devils costume busting through those doors to no avail....i sure would like to have a large poster of him in tha scene❤
can you imagine Taylor Swift doing this in 50 yrs ?? no neither can i...that is the difference between real music and a ''generation music'' great voice , great piano playing , great music compared to walking around in hotpants singing mediocre songs...sorry but to each his / her own...those Swifties or whatever you call them one day may grow up and discover real music...who knows !!
What I love about this is that Elton still uses musicians that have been with him for a long time. Guys that are older, and still able to perform well. Many of the older artists hire new, young people to back them up, but not Elton-he remains loyal. They still sound very good!
I have grown up with his music ..he has been part of everyone's life somewhere along the journey..❤
Elton John music is timeless, will last forever
I hope not
@@SaraT-x4q....clearly! You know nothing about true music.
@@SaraT-x4qyep. 😂
I've been a fan since the 1970s, thank you Elton for all the great music
Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life I am going to be 62 and have all your records and CDs l will love you forever love Sylvia from Colorado ♥️🤩

Getting All the chills with the reception for Ray Cooper.
His songs are the soundtrack of my life ! 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow, such a brilliant performance from a man in his seventies! Wish I could have seen him live.Outstanding talent. Keep rocking Elton!
His voice never fades away he still have that beautiful natural voice ❤
His voice changed significantly after surgery in 1987, but he's adapted to sing his songs within the lower range & drop the falsetto portions.
@@misterfunnybones Exactly, and it does make for a beautiful sound, beautiful. Billy Joel is still kicking out he upper ranges with gusto. and he and Elton together was a great combo and a really life affirming experience of a gig. Bravissimo!
my god, you are deaf...fortunately he understood he must stop..!

Sir Elton Did Not Disappoint
Class Act
❤️❤️❤️ Elton John
Elton John is brilliant musician/songwriter/legend and is loyal to his friends and family.

I've seen his last show....
many times
Thank you for the music ❤ you will never be forgotten.
Thank you Elton 😢
My first EJ show was 1974. I bootlegged it as a 14 year old fan. That show still gives me shivers when I listen to it. :o)
It's always sad to see these musician retire and bands. But they do deserve to spend time with family with there retirement! To wake up and not worry about work or being somewhere for an event.
Awesome 🎵🙌🧡
LEGEND!

Never said he wouldn't play live again, only said he would never tour.
I remember in '84 he was saying that this 'Sad Songs Tour' could be his last tour. It wasn't! lol
A class act ❤
he'll be back 😉

People thanking Elton on this channel, like he's going to see it. 😂

Hum...really? So long, Sir Elton John
Glad he didn't sing Island girl. Love you Elton.
B***y hell, is he still here?😂
Longest farewell EVER!
Thank God it's over - enjoy retirement!
