Bernie Taupin's beautiful lyrics have always AMAZED me! It's so good to see his timeless lyric genius being celebrated. Leaning on Elton's piano, so many emotions running across his face... and to his wife and daughter in the audience... incredible! His words more than anything are what has always captured my heart. Bravo to them both!
I love that Bernie is just up there chillin, being present. I like to imagine he wisely understands how much that act means to us. We need him up there soaking up our sincere love and appreciation. I hope they felt it.
So emotional. Bernie wrote such incredible, memorable, meaningful lyrics, and Elton elevated them with his music and vocals to ever higher heights. What a creative tour de force ❤🎉
Funny, I grew up a big metal head, Sabbath, Priest, Slayer, Metallica, and later onto Korn and who I consider the greatest band pound for pound currently, TOOL. But what got me started as a young boy was Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I would play this album over and over still to this day one of my all time favorites. When I watched Elton finish with this song, this big tough guy, was in his living room with tears pouring from his eyes. Just a beautiful ending, two great individuals who have given us some of the greatest music that will last forever.
You can be a slayer, venom, darkthrone, bathory or whatever metal fan you are. Elton john will always be brilliant along with Bernie Taupin. Then comes the rest of the music world
77 Years old....and he still sounds amazing!!! His voice is still strong, and full...and he can still power up into the higher registers...clean and clear! Easily one of the best ever...and best singer songwriter duo's ever!
👍 I’m about 70 now, and also grew up with Elton’s music (and Bernie’s lyrics) - quite a 🌟 team they’ve been for OVER 5 decades! I think that Elton’s voice AND additional 🎹 playing he’s incorporated in more recent years (even this one shows the difference) has made him even better than way back! * Saw his ‘Farewell’ concerts 2X’s within several months of each other (‘22 or ‘23), and thought he was fabulous in both, as were his other ‘regular’ bandmates 👏!
He can still sing. Yes in concert after 3 hours his voice gets tired m but he can still put across the song. His voice has changed. He is 77. Sorry we age and so do our voices. As for his physical appearance elton fluctuates in weight. Big deal. Get over it
Wow. Elton sounds fantastic and I like that he kept this performance so soft. I wonder if Bernie truly wrote “Your Song” for Elton-not necessarily as a romantic piece, but as a promise to his best friend who he knew wanted so desperately to reach great and seemingly impossible heights. Their dreams depended on each other’s talents, and it’s fascinating to think that this song-Bernie’s “gift”-was the key that unlocked the door to all the things he was daydreaming about when he sat on the roof and kicked up the moss. Congrats Elton and Bernie! :)
Until reading your comment, I wouldn't have considered Bernie writing this not in a romantic way... but like you said, for Elton. 🙂I fully believe you are right. It makes perfect sense. You could see Bernies true affection for Elton all over his face, and the lyrics of course. Beautiful!
How beautiful. Made me a little emotional. I have the album. I was so young. Now the problems of aging, losing family and friends. This song took me back to younger, carefree times. Thanks Bernie and Elton.
The greatest pop songwriting duo that ever existed. I bought all of their records when I was growing up. I remember playing Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy over and over and over and could never get enough of it.
He also gave many interviews to promote the book, you can easily find on yt. I recommend his interviews he gave a few months ago. He is very nice in his interviews. 😊
I got to meet Bernie and his wife at a Houston srt gallery about ten years ago. They were funny, friendly and down to Earth. I had always idolized him and it was a thrill. What a legend.
I saw Elton John in 1972. My very first concert. He did hand stands on the piano. Madman Across the Water had just been released. I will never forget it. ❤
When I was a freshman living in a dorm in college, I heard “Your Song” being played down the hall. It was December 1970. Loved Elton John ever since!❤❤❤❤
Totally moving, the genuine and long term love and respect between these two geniuses, alive and magical, in its maturity. What an atmosphere for those present!
A beautiful timeless piece of music. Long long after we've all passed this earthly domain. This song will still be loved, and admired for all that it stood for. ❤
My most favorite song of all times (and every time I listen, my eyes just water) and watching you two, best moment ever!! Thank you Elton thank you Bernie 💕 Love you both
You know what was the best thing growing up a Elton John fan, practically every year at eirher Christmas time or my birthday, and depending on when he would release new records in America at Easter time i would get elron John records , man what a time to be growing up.............. Elton and Bernie's music is the catalog of my life........
This is one of my most favorite songs. So beautiful. I dedicate it to my son and always sing it to him. I wish I had the opportunity to have the chance to see him live.
I have seen EJ play this song live on tv and in person a hundred different times. And he plays it differently every time. The genius it takes to do that, while also making it sound as brilliant each time, is amazing. 🎹
Oh gosh. I remember seeing Elton and Bernie coming into the bookstore where I worked in Buckhead Atlanta. The Oxford Bookstore. They had one of the first coffee shops in an independent bookstore called the Cup and Chaucer. Seriously this was so freaking cool.
Sounding really good. First LP i bought was Tumbleweed Conection. Went on to get them all. I'm 70 this year still playing them. Shook Elton's hand at a concert in Brisbane 1983 i think. Congratulations Elton and Bernie.
Remember listening to these songs as a gay kid in high school in East Tennessee back in the early 70's. Probably partly what kept me moving on. Gratitude to those two!
Quelle magnifique version. J écoute cette version comme si c'était la première fois que j'écoutais Your Song. Encore merci pour cette émotion incroyable
Such a damned long time coming! Congrats to Bernie and Elton ❤ This song has been a staple for over 50+ years but is only now getting awards and recognition… come on, really??? 😮 Bernie and Elton…one of the biggest selling music writing and lyricist duos ever!!! So sad that Bernie is only now getting recognition for his part…WTF…really???? Elton has never, ever, made secret that Bernie was his partner in music and a factor in why Elton was a success, in fact he shouted it from the rooftops, so why the delay in Bernie’s recognition as an amazing lyricist??? The music industry really needs a damned kick up the butt!!!!
Another masterful musical composition that defined a particular time in my life. It is nearly 50 years later and the memories are springing forth with an intensity that's bringing tears to my eyes. Eternally grateful for the decades of generosity from these two artists.
Just thiink how the meaning of the words to this song have changed over the years to these two amazing artists! It is such a joy to see the true feelings of a great love through friendship show here in this performance!
Maybe when Elton is no longer with US, we might grasp just how mind blowingly brilliant he and Bernie were together ... still don't think we are quite there yet.. 2.55 at aged 77... MIND BLOWING!
Bernie Taupin's beautiful lyrics have always AMAZED me! It's so good to see his timeless lyric genius being celebrated.

" How wonderful life is, while you're in the world."

So emotional. Bernie wrote such incredible, memorable, meaningful lyrics, and Elton elevated them with his music and vocals to ever higher heights. What a creative tour de force ❤🎉
So emotional. I love them both. I hope I speak for most the world. This music has touched all of our souls. They are both truly iconic.
And vice versa
Elton and Bernie always in my heart, kings of music ❤
All in tears for one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Immortal, world heritage.

Thanks for the tip. Will check out the metal band, TOOL.
Same here. The thing is: you have a good taste in music.
Very touching. Together they have written so many enduring classic songs.

Best duo songwriters along with Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus from from Abba!

Bernie's reaction during the last song is beautiful
How beautiful. Made me a little emotional. I have the album. I was so young. Now the problems of aging, losing family and friends. This song took me back to younger, carefree times. Thanks Bernie and Elton.
The greatest pop songwriting duo that ever existed. I bought all of their records when I was growing up. I remember playing Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy over and over and over and could never get enough of it.
Except for Lennon & McCartney and maybe the Glimmer Twins.
A lyricist watching his words come to life in music... that's poetic.
God, he sounds so so good. A shamelessly romantic love song and eternal.
The song is not simple... it is wonderful... and life is much more wonderful with songs like yours Elton.
Side note-I highly recommend reading Bernie’s memoir, Scattershot. Truly serendipitous how the stars aligned to bring he and Reg together.
Just started in on it...! A Lyricist and a WRITER
He also gave many interviews to promote the book, you can easily find on yt. I recommend his interviews he gave a few months ago. He is very nice in his interviews. 😊
Growing up..always wanted to be Bernie and Reg in one person
Eton and Bernie’s friendship is truly beautiful. Two very different individuals come together out of love to make incredible songs!
The song that started a friendship, partnership, and career that will never be replicated.
WOW, that was special. Two exceptionally talented men and a truly gorgeous song.
Magical watching Bernie listen to Elton. What a gift to share with the audience - at 77 able to rejoice in the gift and the magic. Well done
He sounds as amazing as ever! He is a huge part of the sountrack of my life!
If ever there were a music & lyricist duo who deserve the Gershwin award, this is it. ❤
You´re more than right!!!
I got to meet Bernie and his wife at a Houston srt gallery about ten years ago. They were funny, friendly and down to Earth. I had always idolized him and it was a thrill. What a legend.
One of the best songs ever written , haunting melody. Marvellous!!
💕💕🎶❤️❤️
Just freaking beautiful. EJ still has IT. And BT wrote a masterpiece.
Bernie is the one and only.
one of Elton's finest renditions of this song in years. so lovely to see Bernie on stage to soak this in. legends.
What a touching tribute from Elton to Bernie. You can see it means so much to both of them. Priceless for me to see them together in those moment!
I saw Elton John in 1972. My very first concert. He did hand stands on the piano. Madman Across the Water had just been released. I will never forget it. ❤
Elton + Bernie remain one of the best songwriting teams of all time! Their timeless music will always make people laugh, cry, cheer and dance.
The most beautiful song about love ever made...
EJ & Mr.T ❤️❤️❤️

a dorm in college, I heard “Your Song” being played down the hall. It was December 1970. Loved Elton John ever since!❤❤❤❤

Just awesome, we never get to see Bernie. One is nothing without the other.

Elton John's voice is still there
It never gets old

I never listened to the lyrics before. I was busy doing something and had the chance to really listen. My goodness, the beauty in this song.
This is one of my most favorite songs. So beautiful. I dedicate it to my son and always sing it to him. I wish I had the opportunity to have the chance to see him live.
Elton, you helped make me the music teacher I am today.
I have seen EJ play this song live on tv and in person a hundred different times. And he plays it differently every time. The genius it takes to do that, while also making it sound as brilliant each time, is amazing. 🎹
Oh gosh. I remember seeing Elton and Bernie coming into the bookstore where I worked in Buckhead Atlanta. The Oxford Bookstore. They had one of the first coffee shops in an independent bookstore called the Cup and Chaucer. Seriously this was so freaking cool.
If there was only one song in the world, I would like it to be this one.
Elton is an angel, a miracle! Now he's playing live again after the Fairwal yellow brick road tour! ❤️😅
Elton sounding wonderful. A true legend. 🥲
Even though I'm sitting here by myself, I instinctively applauded after this performance. Soundtrack of my life.
OMG, I thought Elton John would never perform live anymore, after finishing his immense last tour, but he didn´t - he´s the one ! Love him so much !
It's Sir Elton John!!
Started for me 11-17-70, Thank you both.
Sounding really good. First LP i bought was Tumbleweed Conection. Went on to get them all. I'm 70 this year still playing them. Shook Elton's hand at a concert in Brisbane 1983 i think. Congratulations Elton and Bernie.
Sir Elton is sounding great 👍 👌
Best friendship Ever more than 50 years 🎉
Remember listening to these songs as a gay kid in high school in East Tennessee back in the early 70's. Probably partly what kept me moving on. Gratitude to those two!
He's still got it!

What a performance and what a setting. No words for it.

Why am I weeping?
