I was on a long car trip the other night and listened to Elton John’s greatest hits LOUD on a killer sound system and I was simply blown away my the quality, musicianship, emotions, soul, etc. At one point I started bawling like a baby it struck such a deep chord. Artists like this simply don’t exist anymore. A true #legend.
Once I learned about the story behind this song, regretted not dedicating it to someone very special in my life who served in Vietnam in the (very) late 60s/early 70s who passed away in September 2020
It is, Elton 60 Live at Madison Square Garden. A companion disc is included, called Live, Rare, and Unseen. Although only four songs from this performance.
@@twobeer3316 thank god for the internet. I don't even want to think about the countless treasures of live performances lost to time. This concert and 79' in Russia seem to be the only solo concerts I can find before 1984.
@@jaseshade6512 lets be honest no one will sing in their 70s the way they did in their 20s and in Elton’s case the difference is stark ,not helped by his legendary drug use earlier in his career.The fact remains that at this point in 76 he truly was at his peak with his voice sounding great and this performance with just him and a piano captures it perfectly,but only the most devoted and yet delusional fan could think his voice today is in any way comparable to him at his best in the seventies.
@@ronaldtant6992 not to mention that in 1985 (could be 84 I may be wrong) he had ulcers (though in a recent interview he off-handedly referred to it as cancer) in his throat and had to have emergency surgery, pretty much removing his entire falsetto which is an absolute crime. Honestly the only crime bigger is that I can only find a handful of decent quality recordings of solo Elton from 74-81.

Lyrics ahead Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain And I can see Daniel waving goodbye Oh it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes They say Spain is pretty though I've never been And Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen He should know, he's been there enough Oh I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much, oh Daniel my brother you are older than me Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal? Your eyes have died but you see more than I Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky Oh Daniel my brother you are older than me Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal? Your eyes have died but you see more than I Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane And I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain And I can see Daniel waving goodbye Oh it looks like Daniel, it must be the clouds in my eyes Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

Idk Elton John personally, so I'm not answering as an authority, but I suppose he chooses different outfits and accessories to express himself - same as so many other artist's?
No computers, no special effects, no dancers, no lasers, no explosions.
Just a man, a piano, and a beautiful melody combined with beautiful lyrics.
Elton carries it away beautifully with just a piano.
One single man, a piano and a mic... And so much music.
And so little hair. It has grown back since luckily for him.
Don't forget the glasses.
@@sodd1000 Nah he wears a hairpiece
@@MrSuperMarioKid Is that so? Hmm. I think I was right the first time. I think he went bald and then his hair grew back.
@@sodd1000nope he wears a wig. He’s worn one for decades.
Can you imagine every time Elton says to Bernie Taupin, Oh you know those lyrics you gave me? Well listen to this.....
Elton has always re invented every song he and Bernie has done.
His most underrated song ever.
Not at all. Elton knows this is one of his top 10 hits
Rated top ten by the Rolling Stone Magazine, every Elton & Bernie-fan knows this is a masterpiece

I would have loved to have been there and experienced that magnificent event with you. Those moments are never forgotten.
💯⛽🔥
repeat. repeat again. When a tune doesn't get old after 50 years, what else can be said?
People age music remains timeless
I love how Elton sings "must be the clouds in my eyes"
The way he sings that melody is just amazing
He sang that line like that til the mid 80's.
The best version of this song
This and his solo version in Moscow
I wish I had the talent to figure out how he plays it here.
That would be a tutorial I’d pay for to learn.
Amazing performance. I love the little laugh as the crowd cheers him on.
This one rhymes with spaniel
Eu também ❤😻
Elton John is pure genius, and so much feeling comes when he sings and plays. He and Bernie Taupin are such a great team.
One of the most beautiful Elton's songs!! ❤️
me too - wonder what it meant to him - really - i know what it means to me
A legend with a legendary voice and style!
And glasses
His talent is off the charts the way he sings this with just a piano...incredible.
Elton sounds great just on his own, Ray Cooper and his band. Not many people can pull that off.
@@jaggass Taylor Swift certainly can't.
Beautiful performance, my favorite is Moscow 1979
You know a video has to be good when nearly 200 people have liked it without a single dislike
As of today, there is 1 dislike! LOL!
What's a dislike?
My Dad used to sing this to me when I was a kid, great memories! ❤
MY GOD. this man has some chops
Once I learned about the story behind this song, regretted not dedicating it to someone very special in my life who served in Vietnam in the (very) late 60s/early 70s who passed away in September 2020
My absolute favorite version of this song. Such a great performance.
Absolute perfection voice and piano ❤️
EJ the king
I wish this would be released on a DVD/CD - Set!

Peak Elton performance of one of his most beautiful songs
He was a charm in those days.
Maravilhosa voz, lindo sem peruca.
The genius of this man. So much beauty.
My favourite song ❤️
this was really at his peak 1976
Followed by another one in 1984
So much a part of my soundtrack in the 70's. Love Elton. Great music, great feeling in his music
Always enjoy listening to this rendition his voice is so great and he looks so great, ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Stunning.
Playing this at my dad's funeral at the end of the month.
Happy Birthday sir Elton John
If only he could keep this level of singing up.. what a class act he was
He IS a class act, not was. I just seen him last week at Gillette Stadium, truly a living legend

@@ronaldtant6992 definitely not the same as when he was in his 20’s. Doesn’t take away the fact that he’s a living legend
@@jaseshade6512 An absolute legend who’s gift for melody writing is unmatched.

Bellisimo. Y love Elton.
Lyrics ahead
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
And I can see Daniel waving goodbye
Oh it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
And Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
He should know, he's been there enough
Oh I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much, oh
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Oh Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
And I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
And I can see Daniel waving goodbye
Oh it looks like Daniel, it must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Elton John você é o máximo 🎤🎶🎵💯
In their prime Elton and Bernie were up there with Lennon McCartney
Even better
@@moritzr1749 tastes🤷🏻♂️
He was a legend! I mean he still is awesome! Have you seen his new song After All ft Charlie Puth!
Moritz I agree they were better. Beatles were very influential but talent wise Elton John and Bernie were superior in their prime.
I would say they're better than Lennon McCartney at some points
My idol
Maravillosa.
Elton john is my ❤grandmother ❤Cheri = Daniel Spain state police

Did he ever play this song in Spain?
Remind me Tyler Joseph run and go 😎
♥️💘💖
AI cannot do this.
has the full show only been available recently?
Can someone explain crazy glasses?
Idk Elton John personally, so I'm not answering as an authority, but I suppose he chooses different outfits and accessories to express himself - same as so many other artist's?
He has said he loved Buddy Holly's glasses and wanted to imitate him, and then as his style became more flamboyant, so did the frames.
