I don't usually post comments but he's the best artist I've ever heard, he has 1 of the best voice and plays that piano like no other, KUDOS TO YOU ELTON JOHN, THE BEST ARTIST THIS IS OR EVER WAS.
I am a black man my sexual orientation is heterosexual, and i love elton john. I went into a all white karaoke bar one night in Joshua, Texas USA. and i sung this song. the crowd went crazy screaming and yelling "Please Sing it Again". I have never been able to capture the excitement i felt that night. Thank you Sir Elton for this song.
@djmarkcotter Nothing is wrong with the audience. They have respect for Sir Elton. Instead of what most would do(jumping up and down, screaming loud and acting like idiots), they are simply listening to the music, letting Sir Elton do what he does best. You don't have to act like a fool to show your love for Sir Elton. Just listen to his music and appreciate what he has given us.
I spoke to soon. i shouldhave waited till after i was done to comment. That ending was MAD AWESOME! He pwned with that piano bit at the end as he does in every song. AWESOME. He DOES have it no matter what people think.
when you think about what this guy has done, it's so impressive. He has captured the world with his singing and piano playing. I love the singing this guy does. I first saw him in concert in Calgary about 11~ years ago and he was just playing with a piano and no other music and he rocked the house for *3* hours and everyone was engaged. To do this without the britney spears light show/dancing/blah blah.. it shows the Talent vs production. ELTON, YOU RULE BRO... COME TO CALGARY AGAIN
That settles it..... I'm going to buy the DVD.... That is an amazing performance. I am a piano player myself and it's amazing how he is capable of playing the piano like that while he is singing. Not that many piano players can do that. It takes many years of practice to perform like he does.
THere's NO way anyone can tell me Bernie Taupin wasn't one of the best arrangers of all time, and Elton wasn't one of the best musicians. Brilliant doesn't come close to describe it.
Haha, this is a good argument to have, because the entire song is amazing! I have to agree with you though, this is a great section... Yes, to answer your question, its always been my dream to be a pilot! -Happy trails-
@ooxcfhxoo ...No piano off stage and no recorded track. He is magic with the piano. If you ever have a chance to see him play live, you'll understand. Hope you get to have that experience at least one time in your life. You won't be disappointed! Cheers!
@ooxcfhxoo I doubt there pre recorded. Its probably some video lag or something It would probably be a bit over complicated trying to follow something pre-recorded!
It's not "they" who add the effects, but the piano is electronic and you can add layers -- like symphony orchestra, etc. Anyone who plays keyboards can do this.
i don't care what he is - he could have the devil gene like Kazuya Mishima, I DON'T CARE!! whenever you can rock a house with just a piano and your voice, you don't need validation from a few persnickety bigots!! this is a true artist who's been around longer than most of us has been alive... in the tenure of his career, many have risen and fallen... but he's still standing... so please, stop pigeon-holing the dude for one thing, because he's more and greater than just one, miniscule part
There will probably never be another man as talented as him -- ever. Truly brilliant.
Play piano live and solo, write melodies, sing live and entertain millions = Elton
best version ever of this amazing song
legend
completley agree his voice now has so much power i think it really brings life to everything
Again: one of the best performers of our time, so lovely true :D
I am all into a happy blues this time. Thanks John
Another Hall of Fame of performance !
Elton john é isso ai pra mim o melhor cantor pop e pianista de todos os tempos
Toca e canta muito 😂
elton " the one and only"
gracias por existir Sir Elton Jhon ¡¡¡¡
7 people can't sing or play like that. What a legend!
What a fucking show! Seeing Elton live has to be nuts...
I don't usually post comments but he's the best artist I've ever heard, he has 1 of the best voice and plays that piano like no other, KUDOS TO YOU ELTON JOHN, THE BEST ARTIST THIS IS OR EVER WAS.
What a brilliant song and an AMAZING version- how you can ever say you dnt lyk it is beyond me
All that's needed to reproduce this performance is a brilliant pianist, singer and showman. The rest is self working.
He don't need a band or orchestra to back him up.
The Dude can absolutely perform
Awesome

Its amazing how many people show up to a show for 1 man and his piano. such an amazing artist.

Agreed...this performance is so spot on...the great musicians always give better live performances than what you hear on the album.
I spoke to soon. i shouldhave waited till after i was done to comment. That ending was MAD AWESOME! He pwned with that piano bit at the end as he does in every song. AWESOME. He DOES have it no matter what people think.
Elton is a genius
hey its acutally on elton johns dream ticket. its a four dvd package throughout the 40 years that he has been in the business. it really good.
when you think about what this guy has done, it's so impressive.
He has captured the world with his singing and piano playing.

ELTON, YOU RULE BRO... COME TO CALGARY AGAIN
what a terrific performance! i love u elton!
Outstanding.
Amazing as always. he is simply fabulous, and totally the perfect idol for me and other gays out there. Not afraid to be who he is and demand respect.
I enjoy the more jazzy feel to this version. He's still got it I think.
That settles it..... I'm going to buy the DVD.... That is an amazing performance. I am a piano player myself and it's amazing how he is capable of playing the piano like that while he is singing. Not that many piano players can do that. It takes many years of practice to perform like he does.
Man...I love me some Elton John!
Damn! What a great version!
yes i know what you mean elton is amazing with a lot of his songs how he can change them about :)
the ending is perfect ;)
the thing is a great song can be played in so many ways, sound almost different but still be the same song
I never was of big fan him playing without the rest of the band but this was just spectacular!
His voice and playing sounds better than ever
thing is, he could go on all night and every song is more amazing than the last !!
having been to Ephesus in 98 and seen the venue, I wish I was at this concert. What a great show.
最高な歌です。
One of the best song in my life
@LPI2007 i agree with you he really is the best! thanks elton for inspiring people!
I have no idea how we plays and sings so damned well.... good on you Hercules....!!
THE BEST OF THE BEST
wow, just wow...
Mui bello 🎉
wow ... this is unbelievable ... one person making this sound.
THere's NO way anyone can tell me Bernie Taupin wasn't one of the best arrangers of all time, and Elton wasn't one of the best musicians. Brilliant doesn't come close to describe it.
i was looking for this version forever. simple, bluezy, perfect.
thank you!
Elton's new album The Union, with Leon Russell, is great! Rightly 5 stars in Rolling Stone and excellent reviews so far.
love his songs
The best version of this song!
wow =)
he´s so amazing
its got a saloon piano style, i like it
Jaw hits the ground!
That's what I call BLUES, man!!
The best elton
love it!
yeah!
what's wrong with ppl in the audience?!!
I would've been clapping and cheering my head off by the end of this...
I completely agree with you.
peace be with you
@ooxcfhxoo
This is Elton we're talking about..He doesn't need another piano off stage..The man can create music in his dreams...!
rock on
great performance!
Haha, this is a good argument to have, because the entire song is amazing! I have to agree with you though, this is a great section... Yes, to answer your question, its always been my dream to be a pilot! -Happy trails-
Genius
Lembro" do meu" irmão"😍
touche :D
great call!
@n0urishm3nt i agree so what if he is, thats his choice, he is an amazing artist.
i also think he gets better with age..can't say the same about a lot of artists
@n0urishm3nt - Freddy Mercury was gay. Still one of the best singers and pianists ever. I completely agree.
the only other person that can play like that is Reg Dwight!
as much as I love Elton, I hate that he simplifies his songs WAY too much live... I still love this video
Also being a pianist I know what you mean,you wont regret buying this dvd its excellent! :)
Good choice.
10 people thought the tumbs down ment that they would dislike to say: i dont dislike this vid

THEY R MESMERIZED BY MUSIC?! werent you? :D
I guess that's why they call him the sir
It's not "they" who add the effects, but the piano is electronic and you can add layers -- like symphony orchestra, etc. Anyone who plays keyboards can do this.
@mcmillinracing more like "of ALL TIME!!!"
If only I could marry Justin Bieber.......no wait, I'd rather swill martinis, smoke spliff, and listen to Elton
muito bom
fuckin briliant
no problem :)
3:05 to 3:27 is the best part!
ah jesus your right codemaster and he says he cant hit those high notes
very clever
e enquanto eu estiver distante, livre-se dos demônios interiores, apenas fixe o olhar no espaço e imagine meu rosto em suas mãos...
i don't care what he is - he could have the devil gene like Kazuya Mishima, I DON'T CARE!! whenever you can rock a house with just a piano and your voice, you don't need validation from a few persnickety bigots!! this is a true artist who's been around longer than most of us has been alive... in the tenure of his career, many have risen and fallen... but he's still standing... so please, stop pigeon-holing the dude for one thing, because he's more and greater than just one, miniscule part
Bieber cain't do this! woo hoo ! woo hoo!
I hope the time of piano burgeon again
DAT SOLO
@sweetlowrayne look @ :48 - :49 those notes the licks are pre recorded.
You can spell good no very on interweb rebuttle when!
Have a nice day!
@n0urishm3nt "he was gay" is an understatement. He is indeed gay.
00:47
That's how he sings. He has a fast pace to him. But you're intitled to your opinion.
I'm only here because I can't find the max and paddy version...
@Spicycheeseninja1568 Not exactly, they thought they weren't giving the non-American equivalent of the middle finger
