Best Elton song as far as I am concerned! So underated

[@freemathstutor2159]

I'm not far off agreeing with you but the competition for best song is stiff. That is just a stellar performance - perfection if only they'd not included keyboards. Elton's piano playing is just tremendous.

[@terrorzilla]

Still a terrific song! Loved hearing it live on this tour

[@bushbasher85]

Rest in Peace Bob and Guy.

[@eltonjohnish]

The Wasteland! I love good blues especially when it is done by Mista Elton!

[@dianeharrison4975]

Absolutely amazing

[@EkaterinaKoshel]

Элтон, ты супер! говорю это от всей России! Слушаю твои пластинки с 8 лет (мне сейчас 37). наверное их было очень сложно найти. Я и мой парень были на фильме "Рокетмен", это было одно большое удовольствие для меня. ждем новых песен и альбомов!

I didn't know Jimmy Saville played guitar.

[@mizofan]

Davey Johnstone has been in Elton's band for decades

[@donmacalister9323]

Great song but somebody please help! At 1:30 there are repeated chords on the piano and they remind me of another song but I can't remember what... it might be a Beatles or John Lennon song, or something else entirely... it's driving me nuts trying to work our what.

[@gennarodepaola745]

Remember (Walking In The Sand) ?

[@donmacalister9323]

@@gennarodepaola745 What a brilliant suggestion! Sadly it’s not the song I’m thinking of but it’s the same chord progression, just much slower. Well spotted though! What I’m thinking of, still, two years later, is the same tempo as Elton’s playing… I’ll keep thinking…

last year

Bob Birch has passed on? I did not know that, When?

[@stuartpodd465]

Grosse pensée pour Bob Birch qui à souffert avant de se suicider à cause de son accident en 1995 . C'est affreux .
