The quality and the mix is mind blowing, 51 years old - you'd be lucky to capture something that clean today. What a set list. What a performance, and snapshot in time. Nigel on fire. Thank you so much for posting this. It's nothing short of amazing.
Our modern day Mozart. ❤ Thank You Elton & Bernie for being the staple in my life. I couldn’t have picked a finer musician & lyricist to idolize my whole life !!! 💯❤️💯
Love the musicianship of Elton, Dee, Nigel, and Davey in the extended versions of "Madman Across the Water" and "Levon" and "Take Me To The Pilot" plus hearing the not-yet-released "Have Mercy On The Criminal" in its earliest days.
An unbelievable amount of musical "singer/songwriter" talent in the mid '60s and into the '70s. Even a lot of very young people really appreciate much of this era of music.
Even though there are numerous of virtuoso level recordings of this band this one still stands as unique & amazing amongst that outstanding canon of John ( no pun intended )
My God.... Mellow I haven't heard in over 10 years.....2008 is when I just discovered off a record I bought at the Goodwill for like a dollar if I remember right
Haven’t heard it in this recording yet but I heard it live at a concert in Little Rock, Arkansas on the farewell tour. Made the hairs on my arms stand on end, literally. Elton’s vocals and Davey’s guitar were phenomenal, especially for them being septuagenarians.
What a great selection of songs. The sound quality is fantastic as this was recorded in 1972. An amazing concert with Elton at the height of his performing powers!
I heard 11/17/70 on a special radio broadcast the night it debuted in New York to 100 people. Awesome show. I still have the ORIGINAL LP. I’m still young at heart (65)………………….
This is a treasure. Kill myself, Susie, Mellow, Hercules, these “deep” tracks are his greatest work in my opinion. They got lost in the top 40 money pit, but never forgotten
I need some advice. If I use(someday) the time machine to go to Elton's 70s concerts (I'm already 50), he will definitely notice me and ask me wtf is going on. What should I tell him? 🤔The versions, please
Maybe you can go back in time to 1972 and ask him to play Ballad of a well-known gun hey I agree I can't take the hits I can't stand bennyandthejets I can't stand Crocodile Rock It just I just skip to the next song I can't do Rocket Man one more time
I especially love how concerts in the 70"s were almost 3 hours long!!!! I was born in 79 I am so blessed to know and love shit like this!!!!
I saw Elton 5 times in the 70’s and I absolutely loved every concert!❤
If one could go back in time to see this show. This is incredible!
There never was and never will be again a talent like this man.
You’re correct. Do you enjoy the solo piano shows of the 90’s as well?
Billy Joel is like him. Just saying (being a dick).
This is an awesome performance!
😂 Ha ha I was wondering if I would see you here in the comments!! Yes it is awesome!

What setlist !!! Sir Elton John is The One long before 1992 ! A Star is born !! He's been the soundtrack of my entire life since this time !
Yes, so great!
@@danielhkhk7283 i agree!
The guys above may agree, but then they haven’t read this comment on a thousand other videos
LMAO
@@bruceski2133 Lmao right
Elton is the best melodist ever
Our modern day Mozart. ❤ Thank You Elton & Bernie for being the staple in my life. I couldn’t have picked a finer musician & lyricist to idolize my whole life !!! 💯❤️💯
Thank you for posting this video!!! I have NEVER heard Elton live this early. Excellent
Superb! Sound great! Songs Whoah! Outstanding show! Why wouldn’t he release this? Blows my mind! Thank you!
Oh this would have sounded interesting and absolutely incredible on VYNIL!!!!!
Remember the yellow UNI record label??????
GodDAMN Elton could rock in his prime, which this is! Many many thanks!!
Love the musicianship of Elton, Dee, Nigel, and Davey in the extended versions of "Madman Across the Water" and "Levon" and "Take Me To The Pilot" plus hearing the not-yet-released "Have Mercy On The Criminal" in its earliest days.
An AWESOME version of LEVON!! The song that turned me on to Elton back in 72! This show is great!

Madman across the water is incredible, Whole lotta shakin' is epic, and I wish I were there....
Honky Cat is such a funky song. Just amazing how Eltons setlist morphs over the years, only a very small set of songs seem to be standards
My God.... Mellow I haven't heard in over 10 years.....2008 is when I just discovered off a record I bought at the Goodwill for like a dollar if I remember right
Yes!❤
Madman across the water…so beautiful song! Elton you’re incredible! 😘
This should be an A+! This is amazing sound quality for 1972.
Elton the Incredible. (And Bernie and the Band, too!)
I love any show with tiny dancer... Live versions of that song hit different
omg insane quality
Have Mercy On The Criminal sounds awesome
Haven’t heard it in this recording yet but I heard it live at a concert in Little Rock, Arkansas on the farewell tour. Made the hairs on my arms stand on end, literally.
Elton’s vocals and Davey’s guitar were phenomenal, especially for them being septuagenarians.
@@colbybelk have mercy these days is much better than what it used to be imo
Thank you for this ! Couldn’t stop listening! Great quality sound❤🎹🎼🎼
This is nearing perfection….😊!
The way he sings and plays the piano…
Great sound
What an incredible find! Thank you so much for sharing.
Amazing!! Love the funny intro, the setlist and this is one of the most beautiful versions of Levon I've ever heard.
Great sound quality!!!
Thanks!!!!
Wonderful recording 🎉
What a great show thank you again
What a great selection of songs. The sound quality is fantastic as this was recorded in 1972. An amazing concert with Elton at the height of his performing powers!
Amazing set list anyway the EJ I loved
Fantastic. Great sound quality.
The Elton of my beguinnings!! Great emotion!! Thank' a lot!!!❤❤
This is wonderful. Thanks for the posting. Been an Elton fan since 11/17/70 live New York recording.
Elton was so funny when he was younger, wish he would show more humor nowadays
I remember his debut.n still hav 11/17/70 live vinly..now? Im old
I heard 11/17/70 on a special radio broadcast the night it debuted in New York to 100 people. Awesome show. I still have the ORIGINAL LP. I’m still young at heart (65)………………….
Avevo 5 anni e già lo amavo💓
Wicked british humor..Another Mellow..rare!!
MELLOW ... VERY GOOD
What a band Elton had in the day!! Music to rival the Beatles in my opinion!
I wonder what Radio program Elton used to listen to as a youngster . A real Goon lol.
Susie!
where did you find this. it's great.
Where and how was this mix produced at such quality???
This is a treasure. Kill myself, Susie, Mellow, Hercules, these “deep” tracks are his greatest work in my opinion. They got lost in the top 40 money pit, but never forgotten
Thank you for uploading and the Thumbnail looks so great!!! how can I get the original image?
Must be Elton,Dee and Nigel 😊
And this was as good as it got!! Never been the same since he fired Nigel and Dee!!
What a great BAND!!
I need some advice. If I use(someday) the time machine to go to Elton's 70s concerts (I'm already 50), he will definitely notice me and ask me wtf is going on. What should I tell him? 🤔The versions, please
Love Sir Elton but I need not ever hear Rocket Man again, why doesn't he ever do Ballad of a well Known Gun, a great song!
Maybe you can go back in time to 1972 and ask him to play Ballad of a well-known gun hey I agree I can't take the hits I can't stand bennyandthejets I can't stand Crocodile Rock It just I just skip to the next song I can't do Rocket Man one more time
What a great recording of the REAL Sir Elton!!! This is a fantastic find!!!! This should be remastered immediately for everyone to appreciate!!
he has done ballad of a well known gun best version better than studio in 2010
Attendance was 509
The pianos he played here were much better than the electric crap he plays these days
And Davey 😂
3:00
1:56:48 Sounds like 1982 lmao
He changed his middle name after one of his songs.
Honky SHAWteau. 😂
*August 1
No, the date here is correct.
At that time your song was a song like any other... Not a super hit to be sung att he end of the show
