Nikita - Elton John - The Tube 1985

Elton and his band perform 'Nikita' live on the TV show 'The Tube', a week prior to beginning their massive 1985/6 world tour in the UK.

That bassline is really great!

[@ricardodelrio7006]

The emotional way he sings “Counting ten tin soldiers in a row” at the end of the song makes me feel so melancholic, what a song, timeless, eternal, unforgettable, damm it! 🙏🏼❤️

[@zakkschwartz2053]

It's the best part of the song. So beautiful, the feeling arises immediately, and every time I hear, it's like the first time.

[@carloseugeniocarlos4287]

Very very Great performance! Elton is a legend alive!

[@davidmazraev7906]

This is the best song of all time.

[@kencampbell9297]

Love the bass guitar....soooo tasteful!

[@987WFGR]

@Foundation7 Cornerstone David Paton from Pilot on Bass.

[@mattyolo6077]

Between that and the bass from the lower octaves on the piano, it’s amazing!

[@kenh733]

That would be David Paton of the band Pilot

[@2godless]

How I love this song and the genius of this man.

[@L10Johnathan]

Great rare live performance of this song with the entire band. I love as well the chord he ends the song with, if not mistaken I’m pretty sure it’s a EbMaj7

[@MrBargemonkey]

I think its just a straight Eb

[@LRBraam]

Eb/Db: Eb with a Db bassnote

[@TomTom-so6hc]

[@hbnederland123UandMe]

Seem not 2 find a good live performances of this man.. no eyes on fire.. they must be somewhere the stories led u conclude.. a good singer needs to balance between good shape and struggle... very delicate

[@alyanni]

Kind of performance never see today and due this times nobody interested in play something alive, singing alive, and playing "something physic"

[@crazyspeedyjoe]

The most of today´s musicians don´t have the talent to compose, play and sing live unfortunately.

[@jimlewis7200]

Fake generation today he is good in his crafts
