  • A great track from one of Elton John's early albums, Madman Across The Water from 1971. Elton John had been touring America after his breakthrough in 1970 and they stayed at multiple hotels and holiday inns, and the song is about that.
    The song have been played in concert on and off, most recently in 2015.

    Fantastic job. It's nice to hear solo piano Elton covers that don't try to play the vocal melody in the right hand. Well done.

      Thank you! I'm just using the settings on the keyboard the give the piano sound a more crispy sound.

    Boston, at last, and the plane's touching down
    Our hostess is handing the hot towels around
    From a terminal gate to a black limousine
    It's a ten minute ride to the Holiday inn
    Boredom's a pastime that one soon acquired
    Where you get to the stage where you're not even tired
    Kicking your heels 'till the time comes around
    To pick up your bags and head out of town
    Slow down Joe, I'm rock and roll man
    I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands
    And you ain't seen nothing 'till you've been
    In a motel baby, like the Holiday inn
    Oh, I don't even know if it's Cleveland or Maine
    With the buildings as big and rooms just the same
    And the TV don't work and the french fries are cold
    And the room service closed about an hour ago.

    I have always loved this track, and this version is absolutely outstanding ! I am 69 now and still play keyboards for enjoyment (I have performed on organ and guitars in amateur bands in the '60s and early '70's but my fingers are not up to complex guitar stuff these days). So I play keys and my 15 year old grandson is damn good on guitar. We both use the same DAW software to record and share projects so we could play together during lockdown (he blew me away with his solos from 'Comfortably Numb' !). I would love to learn this piece on the keyboard so we could play it together - is there a tutorial for it anywhere ?
