  • The free central park concert from 1980 which so many people attended in hopes John Lennon would show up however no such luck.
    My mother who actually attended Woodstock also attended this concert and said that people were hanging from trees. It is guessed somewhere between 400 and 425 thousand people showed up for in my opinion Sir Elton Johns greatest concert of all time.

    Doing Elton a great disservice claiming a lot of people were there in the hope of seeing John Lennon. Elton is loved in America, and has a fantastic relationship with New York City. They were there for an Elton John concert.

    So much power in one performance. The piano solo never ceases to blow my mind away. The greatest piece of music played live in my opinion of any concert I have ever seen. Totally..Amazing...Words can not do it justice. It is simply that incredible.

    It's amazing how much music has changed. I was born in 1986, but I would gladly add 20 years to my life if I could grow up and experience this era in which music was real.
    Very, very few could ever compare to Elton John. <3

    More than 30 yrs later, & it's still his GREATEST live version of "Bennie" to date!! All of these comments that Elton must've been coked up. Not exactly a new revelation, and while I wish that it wasn't true, he's always admitted it...but really, who cares?? It would be nice if people just focused on this magnificent job he does here instead of the negative garbage. An excellent show-stopper & a phenomenal show that afternoon in the Park.
