I wondered how it would feel to hear this song when I had reached '60 years on'. I finished my 60th year yesterday and have to say the feeling is totally different that I had anticipated it would be when first I head this song 42 years ago. As wonderous, thrilling and totally overwhelming youth was, I have as much, or more, passion for life as ever and 'no (less) wish to be living 60 years on' than at any point in my life - life is sweet, precious - surrender none of it freely. A true classic.
Its rare to find an artist that...every single time you hear one of their songs--brings you back to a time, a place or calls up a memory or an emotion as strong the thousandth time you hear it-exactly like it was the first time. Elton, Cheers mate! You have that gift!
This arrangement of "60 Years On" is in between the studio version and the "11-17-70" version -- which is the definitive version for me. Thanks for the upload!
People change,voices change.does (could) anyone sing a song they wrote and sang in 1970,exactly the same ?.Would be a bit boring listenening to the same over and over again,welcome change,or die moaning.

Zactly
This song is a living miracle.. It's massive but not everyone gets how incredible it is
The music this man has created .... I have no sufficient words ...
It's like a fine wine, ages well with time. A very fine rendition.
My ears are quivering with pleasure when I listen to this masterpiece
this song gives me the goosebumps every single time.....!

His piano playing during SYO gives me goosebumps!
What a song, what an album., what a performance..........
Elton's nothing short of phenominal!!
I grew up with Elton John....aging with him.....and will die listening to his unparalled music !!
I love his piano playing starting 4:02 :) my favourite part of a beautiful song.
Love this song
Wow..love Elton John
..like so many other EJ songs, these two are epic ballads that I personally elevate to ANTHEM status
Elton is King!
wow! hats off to Elton.
...and tears in my eyes
he's still such a totally mind blowing performer. his voice is so fucking boss as an old man. and he was born a performer, its still really clear.
Unbelieveable.
have to love ej at work best
Well put!
70Bday is the jam.
Sucks madman got cut off. I love that song, def one of my favs
The whole concert is on UA-cam
Sir is good! 47 also and EJ hmm..? Thank you
LIKE MOST FANS I WAS 100 % SURE, THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST SONG HE WOULD DO THIS NIGHT.
I hardly missed the 86 piece orchestra from Live in Australia
WOW!
Madman is Cut Off!!!!!!!!!! ANGRY
Any hint as to if he'll perform this tune live in 2030?
2 dislikes?! Are u kidding?! Come on!!!
Mick Jagger & Paul Mc .... they are just jealous
It's an odd contrast -- Elton was celebrating his 60th, but this isn't a song of celebration --- quite the opposite.

STOP COMPLAINING!!! Why are you even here if you just comlain??? Go somewhere else and complain!!! :@
...no HARP? in 60? How chintzy. Plus 'Madman' is incomplete. Disappointing.
