Elton John - I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That - Live 99
Переглядів 3,7 тис.9 місяців тому
Originally recorded on the Reg Strikes Back album in 1988, I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That became a staple of Elton's live shows in the 1990's. Unfortunately, the Medusa tour which began in 1999 would be the last tour to feature the song in the regular setlist rotation. This performance in 1999 at Roanoke, Virginia is one of my favorites and features a very difficult solo section which s...

    Out of all the song's I've transcribed on my channel, this is the first time I feel like I'm in over my head. This update is from 3 months ago. In the time since, I've transcribed the final verse and the last chorus. All that remains is the 2nd four minute long jazzy/rock piano improvisation. To add onto the complexity of the song, I'm also transcribing Dee Murray's bass guitar and Nigel's drums as well. At the rate that I'm going, I have no idea when it will be complete. Just wanted to put this update up for anyone still interested in more videos. I haven't forgotten about the songs, nor stopped working on things. It's just that this song is hellaciously difficult to do. I'll see you all when it's done.

      Sorry for the late reply. At the moment (and in no particular order): Madman Across The Water (Live BBC Sounds for Saturday) I'm Still Standing (Live in Ephesus) Where To Now St. Peter? (Live from The Rainbow Theater) I Feel Like A Bullet In The Gun Of Robert Ford (Live from The Rainbow Theater) Jingle Bells Boogie Woogie (Live from Lisbon, Portugal 2016) Amoreena (Live 17-11-70) Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters Don't Go Breaking My Heart (Live Edinburgh 76 (no promises on this one)) The Ballad of Danny Bailey (Live Chicago 1988) Pinball Wizard (Studio Version) Empty Garden (Live Madison Square Garden 1999) Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Studio Version) This Song Has No Title (Studio Version) A kind person on my patreon early this year sent me the official songbooks produced in the 70's of most of Elton's classic era album (1970-1976). They aren't totally note-for-note accurate (which is what I strive for), so I'm also working on tweaking them so that they can be fully released. So that's another 70 or so songs there. All of them will be free once they're finished.

    The MIDIes of tones D, CE, D, and CE in the order in which they are pressed create an image/symbol of a chain, in the video and on the thumbnail. That's what I literally would call "sound image" That's drawing the paint or picture with the MIDIies... Drawing with MIDies in 2D, or perspective (axonometric), . . . . . Very nice thumbnail capture, a very nice thumbnail choice... Tones D, CE, D, and CE create a creature that looks like a chain... Chain reaction... Chainsaw reaction... Heavy chain. Tones A G, and A G that are in perfect octaves make the chain even heavier... "Bench pressing just heavy chains, shrugging, rowing, or deadlifting?

    I remember going to the record store and getting Blue Moves the day it came out and being shocked at how non-pop the album was. Some of it was actually facially dull, and the uptempo attempted hit “Bite your lip (get up and dance)” was clearly a swing and a miss. Still “Sorry seems to be the hardest word” and “ “Tonight” were fantastic. To this day I remember the poor quality vinyl my album was stamped on. Lots of pops when brand new, and one platter had a big bubble in it. Modern vinyl aficionados gloss over the poor quality of mainstream records in the 1970s. Later I gained an appreciation for a lot of the other tracks once I could hear them on CD and streaming plus hear them with the ears of an adult, because this is very much an adult album.
