    Great vid! This is known as a "Bling Shot" take, or a "Dummy Take", which is recorded after the 'real' one. It is for backup footage only - when they're editing the main one. In other words, they always get a bling take incase the camera man screws up anywhere on the main one. So they have spare shots to dub over the other at certain frames. Notice lots of close-up shots & you don't see mouths or hands etc? Well that's what this is for. That's also why the artist doesn't sing his or her best!

    This is not an "outtake", it is another live version!, and an excellent one at that. From the first chords of this song (studio version too) any good musician realises they are hearing a truly great original composer, who is coming up with NEW evocative chords! Truly original.

    • @stephenernestsmith4555
      @stephenernestsmith4555 6 років тому

      This is a song with lots of "layers" when done in the studio but has problems in being transferred to a 3 piece live performance. The timing is out of sync and the drums, excellent in the studio, don't seem to work. Elton's voice is off-key in several places and, overall, this version just doesn't gel.

    • @charlemagnekarldergrosse2832
      @charlemagnekarldergrosse2832 6 років тому +2

      I hear you, but I didn't hear those shortcomings you mentioned. There's only one hiccough in the drums near the start which Nigel soon cleverly corrects, and I didn't hear any off-key vocals -- only slightly shaky. I've been playing this song on the piano since about 1975 (when I found some fairly accurate sheet music for all his early stuff) and I thought his voice followed the unusual chord changes pretty much 'on the money'. I think the only real problem is trying to cover such a great studio recording with only a 3 piece, and the fact this performance has no reverb on it. (The TV studio is a bit 'dead' acoustically.) Also, the tempo was too slow, which can affect the overall sound (and the...'gusto' of the performers) negatively.

      Yea his vocals are raspy and he doesn’t articulate now. He does a weak Leon Russell impersonation now. He’s retired now, I think. He doesn’t smoke and could have easily done diaphragmatic exercises to improve his voice. I’m with you after 1990 his voice was toast.
