I was stunned when I saw this as a young boy in East Germany TV.
Ray Cooper made the deeper impression.
I believe that his piano playing as well as his voice was in its absolute prime in 1979. There's so much emotion in it.
Agree about his voice! This tour consistently has top notch singing. Although I would say his piano playing was a bit more creative in the 90s.
absolutely!
I agree. Never been a super EJ fan but this is really good. Actually saw this on tv in holland many moons ago. I also didnt know this guy ray cooper. He is fabulous. Thanks for uploading😀
Звук из зала наложен,- в Советском Союзе не свистели и не аплодировали после начала песни. Была полная тишина до ее окончания, уважение к труду артиста!😁
I remember when this was broadcast on ABC. It was late on a friday and I had, had a bad date came home early and this was on.
First exposure to Ray Cooper.
Best £5.00 I ever spent in preston uk seeing Elton and Ray. March i think it was. Incredible
Купер супер! Элтон Легенда!
I saw Elton John and Ray Cooper live on stage at the Gaumont (now Mayflower) in Southampton on this same tour. The absolute best and most memorable gig that I have ever attended.
Great! Always nice to hear from attendees
saw them at universal amphitheater elton was drinking glasses of champagne for the first 90 minutes and resorted to drinking straight from the bottle for last half hour... ray is a madman they were amazing
This guy maybe the World Best Musicant and composer...!
He probably put Music to trash talk.
Imagine a Crazy Tour Era Freddie and 79 Elton dueting or singing each other's songs
He definitely played as good as he could play you can tell the way he’s singing he’s nervous to not mess up a single noteThe ruskies got a real treat with this no doubt.
There's some really good piano dynamics in this show. EJ manages to capture the 'belly' of the recorded versions just with his piano, the prime example being 'Daniel'. Very impressive.
absolutely brilliant

Cooper hasn’t changed a bit!
Купер Красавчик
look and sounds great, but I wish they would've speed corrected this footage since it's playing a bit fast. I wonder if it was shot at 24fps but played back at 25fps.
the source for this one is a little bit strange. the common old youtube uploads run fast, but for some reason on this specific dvd copy, the SPEED has been corrected but the pitch hasnt. almost like its been “tempo corrected”. i tried to fix the pitch myself but it ended up sounding robotic and less pleasant
i think i have the same "official" dvd release from shout factory and a cbs/fox vhs copy, both seem to come from the same master playing in the same pitch higher. probably when they transferred it originally from film to video, they just never fixed it.
is that vodka or water on the piano?
Probably vodka, he was known to have a drink or two at some 1979 shows
Смотрю только Купера
The pitch is a little off.
this copy was already speed corrected but the pitch was still left untouched. i tried to fix it myself but it ended up sounding robotic so its better left alone.
Sorry Elton, Ray stole the show mate 😊
