@Bradleyhashish21 Elton John being billed as a piano player was a gag in many ways, even though E.J. is a great pianist, because the guy was an ASTOUNDING (Captain) FANTASTIC Vocalist (before he destroyed/ wore out his voice). He was amazing as a package. It really worked, the guy has 4 decade & counting big time career. Now days he is still a great pianist & a pretty good singer. & a legend in his own time.
You can't compare Elton John to Oscar Peterson....two very different people two very different genres of music. 9 times out of 10 oscar is strictly piano playing....plus, Oscar Petersons' hands are about twice the size of Elton John's. Agreed that Oscar Peterson is an amazing artist, but you can't say that Elton John can't play piano.
I tell my straight friends that if you can't understand what a rock GOD Elton is because of the way he *LOOKS* that is the sequined blazers and sparkling sunglasses etc. Well then they're just as gay as he is or I am. Then they're like "oh okay, I'll close my eyes and just listen" and they realize. wow, he good!
Why should this be impressive? Actually, it's quite decadent re piano technique. Do check yt for 'oscar peterson + boogie' and listen to the first match. That's real piano playing
WHOO. 4:54-4:58 was a sick lick.
He repeats that lick many times when he improvises.
The Greatest , The ONLY ONE , The King !!!!!!#####
Had that performance been in America the crowd would be going nuts!
Some of the best piano playing I've ever seen :) But I just get wayyy too jealous watching it :(
I’m seeing him in concert in 3 days!! ✨

Who Is Oscar Peterson?
@@pabloguera1892 Who is Paul McCartney?
I want so see him and Ben Folds do a tour together
This is one of the cool things about Mr. John: He knows that a Yamaha is better than a Steinway and plays a Yamaha proudly!
Bravissimo!
Mike Rodriguez However, both can play by themselves!
Not really
It's like as if I can hear crickets if you turn it up loud!
Couldn't agree more!

The section that follows is Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B

Does anyone know what he plays at 4.54? I mean, what notes and how exactly he applies his fingers thereto?
Does ANYONE know the very FIRST chord...my sheet music is way too simple. Each note...I just can't find it...play by ear.
It's a Gmaj7. G in the bass (left hand). Then a B, D, F#, B in the right hand going up.
