- Elton John live in Earls Court, London on the 13th of May 1993. I fell in love with this gig and it's probably my favorite from this period. It's in a great quality, but not so great of a soundboard recording, however, it doens't matter at all! The concert contains a great setlist with cover songs of Queen (The Show Must Go On) and The Rolling Stones (Jumping Jack Flash). Furthermore it contains some rarely performed songs like Come Down In Time, played with the band which is very unusual, Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy, and The Last Song. There's also some really great versions of the songs. The very funky intro to Philadelphia Freedom, fantastic version of Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters part 2, great intro to Bennie And The Jets, and a fantastic duet between Elton and the choir during Sad Songs (Say So Much) where we also get to hear some of the lowest tones Elton can sing.
Elton is in pretty good vocal shape at this gig and it is the last year where Elton would play the Roland RD-1000 before switching over to the Yamaga disklavier which he still uses.
-Enjoy!
P.S. The picture is actually from 1992 during rehearsals for the the tribute concert to Freddie Murcury!
My personal favourite performance of Philadelphia freedom post surgery, probably even overall! 😅
Love this version of Philadelphia Freedom!!!! IT ROCKS!!!!
I love the electric piano intro from the 93-95 band performances. He should bring it back!
this song is one of those with 500 different intros :D
@@powerstroker0622 Kinda like I'm Still Standing and Take me to the Pilot solo versions
this deserves more views
I'm going crazy with this concert and specifically with this version of Philadelphia Freedom, but I just heard it now - the genial rhyme, how Elton sang this line, just listen to 3:48 - "I like living easy without family ties ..."
Bennie and the jets from this concert is amazing
The best ever always
Wow! So Good!!!
Nothing can top this no matter what
One of the BEST!!
Yo! That's Very Kind. attempt separate What's happening.. !

anyone know the band line up here?
At this time Bob Birch came in on the bass, stayed for 20 years, from 1992-2012.
Davey, Bob, Charlie Morgan Drums, Fred Mandel keyboards, the 3 ladies on back up
@@StuKuhlman Incorrect, Guy Babylon and Mark Taylor on keyboards (Fred left after 1990).
he turned into a baritone by this time.
there are perfomances after this that actually prove that wrong.
@ Matt Yolo - he hit one falsetto after this (in New York 1999 for 'Elton's Song', and that was it. So no, not really.
@@1091Floyd21 you're aware that he still does falsettos right?
He had falsetto into the mid-2000s, he just chose not to use it.
@@1091Floyd21 he hit the “magaZine” falsetto in 97 at New Orleans, and the Yellowbrick road phrasing at Atlanta 1997/winston Salem 97, and we all fall in loves falsetto too, and literally hundreds of more times
