Just randomly came into my head tonight, didn't even see some christmas stuff or anything to trigger it, just felt it
Nearly 50 years have passed, and this song still sounds fresh and fun.
THEY PIPE THIS TUNE IN MY WORKPLACE AND YES IT STILL SOUNDS GREAT , SUPER 70'S FOREVER. CLASS OF ROCKIN 84 HERE!!!!. OH YEAH,, AND 50YRS FROM NOW IT WILL STILL SOUND GREAT!!!.
I'm Brazilian and an unconditional fan of Elton John & Taupin and this wonderful band with Davey, Dee and Nigel. 50 years have passed but the spectacular work of Elton John and Bernie Taupin keeps our minds young forever.
The Gilbert O'Sullivan Show had Great Guests 🎶
a different mix, that's what i love about these promo films, even when they mimed to them, they provided a different mix...
Never battered his DJM/Gus Dungeon day's, brilliant.
Best Christmas song in the world!
Best written Christmas song of the last 60 years
I wish I could look as fabulous as Elton at Christmas.
Me too when I'm a woman! Elton he's just so beautiful in every way inside outside he's great communitarian great singer great piano play on and what a great body Owen love that hairy chest oh my God turn me on Hyundai I said honey! Please excuse my stupid phone it discombobulated my words cuz it's cheap but that's okay it's better than nothing that's my attitude my glass is half-full as it were! But anyway I just love my Elton as a matter of fact today is April 6th I was fixing to see my honey my darling at Madison Square Garden. But, because of the covid-19 Teen my darling cancelled dysfunction thing my darling canceled because of the covid-19 which I'm glad cuz I don't want my honey getting sick cuz he had pneumonia back in the oh my God a few months ago and oh I was so worried about my sweetheart and I said to myself I hope he cancels the concert in New York City I was supposed to go over there because I don't want my Elton getting sick or worse I'm not ready to be a widow! See me and Elton we've been married forty-seven years only David don't know it! hey a girl can dream can't she? have a good day or evening Wherever You Are and keep healthy. T o o d l e s! I'm still standing.
Lol
Nice to see Bernie Taupin hammering away at the Tubular bells and enjoying himself! 🎶
I thought that looked like Bernie, but I wanted to read the comments to be sure. Thanks. I didn't think he ever made an appearance with the band.
Liz Kerr I also thought that Bernie only wrote lyrics. Was expecting Ray Cooper on percussion. I forgive Bernie for “We Built This City.”
That sure is Bernie. I guess he wanted to be in this performance. He doesn’t like the spotlight. It’s like he gets to have the exact amount of spotlight he wants
Thought he looked familiar; thanks for pointing that out.
Yep! Its that time of the year that we step into Elton's Christmas Song! 🎄 🎉 ❤ My favorite song 🎵 every Christmas and it does not go out of style....
Awesome Elton 👌
50th anniversary 🍾🎄🎂🥳⭐️🎊🎉
Nice to see that Bernie also has a part in performing this song
Yeah that was pretty cool to see Bernie taupin there that was really cool! I'm still standing
And the rest of the Elton John Band.
What a band - John / Johnstone / Murray / Olsson. They were the Beatles of the 70’s. They were a true band- Elton John was the singer, pianist and songwriter but they were a band. Each contributed to the arrangement of the songs, all could sing, all featured on the album covers, all featured in the promo videos and Dee, Nigel and Davey were very famous and very popular. Dee and Nigel were there from day 1- driving around in wagons on tour, sleeping in the same hotel rooms, doing all the interviews. A true band. Not just a solo artist with rent a crowd session musicians.
Christmas 2023. Still listening to this, one of the greatest christmas songs...... forever and ever!!! Merry christmas to one and all. Merry christmas to the world!
It stills my favourite Christmas Song! 😄👍🎄
Met Elton outside Buckingham palace where he was shooting a video a few years ago. He asked us what our favourite song was as both me and my friend sat next to him. He has good eyes and persona lovely man.
You are a lucky man!
Lucky! I took piano lessons because of Elton. Started back in 1971
@@kellyc2425 We danced in 1974 to the song Crocodile Rock, at this time we could hardly get records of foreign singers. His Cd" Don't shoot me..." it was a really shock for us. 👏😁
He does more for his fans than any artist I know of. That's one of the reasons I love him and his music. The first concert I went to in Columbus Ohio back in November, after every single song the house lights come of so he could see the people cheering and everyone around us sang almost every song. It was the most harmonious event iv ever been to in my life!
I wish that was me, but then again i shook his hand 3 times at my concert, and stood 1 meter away my first concert last year!
What a voice, a band, a look and everything!!!
I'm currently reading Elton John's great autobiography.
elton truly knows how to capture the communal feeling of christmas. this is christmas down to its barest bones, about togetherness and enjoying each other’s life on this planet earth! what a cool guy, what a cool band!
(felt like posting this in a few places haha)
I rock out to this song 365 days a year 🙌🔥
With Davey Johnstone, Nigel Olsson, Dee Murray, it was the old good time 😍🎶
The Colorful Radio these guys were the ONLY Elton John Band.
You forgot Bernie on the bells...
@@hey_buddy_waz_up lol that. I loved it👌🤣
Don't forget Bernie taupin darling! T o o d l e s! I'm still standing
I've heard this song 10 million times and I can still listen to it over and over.
Jim Jimmy I could listen to All of Elton songs 10 million times over I've been loving him since I was 15 years old and I never stopped loving his beautiful music! And I'll never stop loving him he's such an amazing beautiful kind understanding human being his humanitarian and he helps people who are Dan and out he's just such a sad down and out he's just such a beautiful man Every Witch Way beautiful person I love my Elton! T o o d l e s! I'm still standing.
Great❤
Christmas 🌲🎄
Song.
Makes my
Family Happy .
My Mothers friend Rose was staying with my family one year during the holidays We took her
to the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony in Monument Square Portland Maine as our guest
because Myself, my Girlfriend Debbie, and my Sister Eva were on duty with the city of Portland
Maine that night. My mom Being A nurse at Maine Medical Center, Myself and my Girlfriend
worked for the Medical Crisis Unit, and my Sister Eva was A Police Dispatcher!!! My Other two
Sisters Nancy and Caroline came As well!!! The Mayor and all the Dignitaries from the City of
Portland were there as well. Everyone was having a wonderful time. But when this song started
to play my Mother's eyes LIT right up and she started to cry with excitement!!! Then her friend Rose
started to cry!! My Sisters were Crying as well!! I Went In ATOMIC MODE!! my energy level was OUT
OF CONTROL!!! My girlfriend Debbie was going TOTALLY NUTS!!! My Mother Took me out and we
Started to bring the house DOWN!!! Then My Sisters and her Friend Rose Joined us and we ROCKED
The Ceremony!!!! Everyone was Screaming And Cheering For Us!!! The Mayor and the Other Dignitaries
hugged and kissed my Mother!!! The Mayor Said That he had NEVER seen anyone dance with the Energy
and Intensity that we Did!!!! and we put on the Ultimate Dance Show!!! We had Dinner Courtesy of the
City of Portland and Danced in Christmas Ceremonies all through the Holiday Season!!! Rose was crying
and Said to my mother "That she loved us like her own Children!!!!
7 Months to go!
Random Christmas excitement in the middle of the night.
For years there was only a low quality video of this song on UA-cam, now there are loads of good quality videos here, including this one 👍
Best Christmas song around, past and present, introduced to Elton's music when I was 7 and 40 years later he's still the best
Oh the memories! This takes me back to carefree teenage years of no worries. Just ogling over our favorite rockers and dancin' to our favorite tunes!
OMG! What a gem this is with Bernie onstage! Elton and his band were such great musicians, I'll never understand why these shows made them fake it. ??
It was due to the Musicians Union at the time.
Elton John will,i love you forever,❤👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🫶
Best Christmas song ever.
would love to step into christmas with elton!
In my favorite Elton duds. Lovely.
My favorite Christmas song.......ever and ever! Merry Christmas to all the world!!
I've thought for a long time that some of the guitar sounds reminiscent of the Moody Blues 'Question'; both great songs though. This TV performance is done 'live' and is superb. Hard to believe this only made #24 (in the UK) on its original release. It took forty-five years for it to become a well-deserved top 10 hit.
50 years later, and still rocking in the Yuletide! Bravo, sir Elton and crew!
Elton's most normal pair of glasses
I’m doing this song for my Christmas concert at school (I don’t care if my friends don’t know you though!) Im so happy I was raised up on your music and I will always love your music and I’m hoping that if I have any future children, they will to! ELTON FOR LIFE!
Good luck Ashon!! I sang Philadelphia Freedom for a Spring concert at my high school in 1976!! You can do it...and you'll never forget it!
jacwood22 thanks man! I might get my parents to record from my phone 😂
Good for you great
God be with you on the stage
Please let us know how it turned out.
First time I’ve seen Bernie playing instruments with the band!
One of my all time favorite Christmas music
Love it! I also love that Bernie Taupin is playing too!!!! One of my favorite Christmas songs!
Video: *starts*
Elton: *pulls absolutely priceless face*
I almost died at that 😭
I keep returning only to see that hot face
@@costab.elaine What's up, Elaine? It's Philip from the Facebook "Elton John and His Fans" site! I just commented on your post about "Chameleon!" 😃
@@captainfantastic9158 hello, Philip! We meet again hahaha ❤
@@costab.elaine UA-cam, Facebook, Instagram...we're all over the place!! 😂😂😂
"And assskin yoUUU if you'LL oblige, steeeeeppiiiin iiintooo christmaaaaas, with meeeeeeeeeeee" - love how he sings that part
Truly one of the highlights of my life, seeing this legend in concert!
Vicki you are so lucky girl you saw my honey my darling my man! I was supposed to see him tonight April 6th and tomorrow April 7th up in New York Madison Square Garden. Bought my Elton had a canceled because of the covid-19 virus and I'm glad he cancelled because he's just getting over pneumonia and I don't want anything to happen to my sweetheart so I'm not upset or mad that he canceled! Toodles! I'm still standing
Happy 50 years!
This is studio quality! I thought this was another infamous 70's lip sync video in front of a live audience. Boy, was I wrong!
That’s what Gilbert O’Sullivan made them do!
This is the music , band and height of the EJ era I will take to my grave !!!! So talented and what a gifted vocalist!!
My fav Christmas song and simply awesome video. This is Elton at his best. Like so many of his live 70's & 80's TV performances...this is a live Elton vocal to a studio track with backing vocals. Elton punts lyrics at 3:39 just for a little proof.
One year on and still listening! Still my favorite and still the greatest Christmas song.........ever and ever!! Merry Christmas to you wonderful folks!
I've been a fan from the time you started. you helped me at my WORST time you kept a live. and helped me over come alot i went thr as teen my abuse days would come very often but when I would here your music all my darkness would go AWAY .you are my hero SIR ELTON John.my last request is to hear any song from you. A long time ago I tried to 😥 well I was going thr this Deep depression wrote letters to my love ones and then I heard your song daniel I started to sing and went home I lived that night😥thank you sooo much .u are my dream
What a pretty woman ,hello my goddess.
Elton, so grateful you did your movie, brought your world of music into my life. I've been overwhelmed with joy for the last few months and now, with Christmas here this video with you and Bernie is my favorite part! Thank you for being one of my favorite parts of this world!
What a perfect song for the holidays! Love me some Elton John!
S o l f e r i t e I would love me some Elton to on top of his piano! I'm still standing
Ohmygosh! I just noticed Bernie Taupin on bells! This is a great video.
Such gorgeous quality! And a bonus Bernie on percussion, lol! Outstanding find, thanks, Elton! I think this is our 45th Christmas together and you just keep sharing your gifts. Hardly seems fair, but I'm not complaining ;-)
Yep , definitely one of the best early vids he's done, the clarity is just beautiful. AND Bernie! woohoo! Saw his final concert in Vegas earlier this year ...bloody outstanding!! from a fan way back to "Empty Sky"
That’s Nigel Olsen on Drums, not Bernie. Longtime drummer since 1969.
@@jackgrimley2397 I know who Nigel Olsson is, hon, I've been an Elton fan for more than 40 years :-) The man playing what I think are tubular bells (2:10) is Elton's lyricist, Bernie Taupin. He rarely appears in videos and it's even rarer to see him play an instrument. Hence my comment.
Tiny Dancer Gotcha. Didn’t see that part. You’re right.
As well as the best wardrobe he also has the coolest glasses! You rock Sir Elton 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
It’s really nice to see Bernie included in the session
Gabriel Olivares Amen
@Mutated Pearl no dumbhead, he means Elton's lyricist, Bernie Taupin.
@Mutated Pearl I hope not
@Mutated Pearl haahahaha love u guys
It's Christmas time 🎄☃️🎄
Many years, many concerts, all the records and heaps of memories. I met Elton in South Audley Street outside the Elton John Fan Club
he posed for a photo with us, gave us a kiss and was perfect. Great guy, great music. Looking forward to seeing him three times on the last tour. Love you Elton
Trudi
Trudy you are so lucky you got a kiss from my sweetheart oh my God! If I ever met my Elton I would curtsy to him cuz she's royalty he's my king I love him so much! I'm still standing
My absolute fave Christmas record, 1973 what a Christmas gave us 3 betlers of Christmas songs
The other FAB FOUR. Oh yes. So much magic from Oz
What a wild song.
I love you Elton! Always gave even though I am a female.
Ah, 1973. Happy days. Saw Elton John in concert in Birmingham Town Hall that year, a couple of days before xmas. Had tickets in the choir seats, so we were only a few feet away from him. Great times!!
It's not Christmas until I hear this song. Love it!
Huge Elton John fan - Have tickets to 3 different venues for his final shows
Nice alternative to the 'official video' churned out on music channels every year
It’s so great to see Bernie there having a great time.
Best Christmas song ever tbh I love it!!!
AWESOME...I've never ever seen this and it's fantastic. Makes me have a crush on him all over again. I love that Bernie is playing the tubular bells and jingles...makes it even more special and rare! Merry Christmas Elton John!
It's not Christmas unless you hear Elton John on the radio with Step into Christmas
Amen @Richard McLaughlin!
Richard ditto! I'm still standing
Thanks Elton!
Love it! Think he's singing along quietly with the track, definitely isn't live for those who've asked. Great fun though, and Bernie Taupin randomly hitting the tubular bells is just hilarious!
Oh, how I wish we could remain young forever (or at least for a long, long time).
bitmaxim ....forever is a long, long, long ,long ..time!! 🇨🇦👍🏻
I’m still young which I’m so happy about
1973 is the best year EVER I hope December is going well
December: 0:01
One more Lost Treasure from The One, Sir Elton John! The sound track of my entire life. Blessings to him.
Who’s listening in 2020 Christmas Eve??
One of the BEST Christmas songs of all time! Thank you for posting.
Great song love it
My favorite Elton Song!! Ahh
Um espetáculo!
Do tempo em que se faziam música de verdade!
Saudações do Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
One of the best Christmas Songs.
Thank you very much Greats,performance,welcome,Hugs Good Time
My favorite!!!!!!!!!
As if this isn't already one of my fav rock/pop holiday tracks...total earworm in a good way AND he sings HOP ABOARD THE TURNTABLE WITH ME....to any vinyl aficionado this just seals the deal. The harmonies and use of percussion in addition to the piano and guitar bits...it is all amazingly fab!
SORRY I FORGOT to mention the white ostrich feathers!!
Amazing Elton very best...
This is a Christmas song I actually love. So excited to see Elton in February on my birthday 👍😁🏳️🌈❤
YESSSSS! Absolutely stunning
The best, just the very best group of all time.
I am a lifelong fan of Elton’s music. I went to his concert when I was fifteen years old and he didn’t disappoint. I would love to see him one more time.
What a great birthday gift! Granted I was only 3 at the time and had no clue that we'd be shoulder2shoulder in 2010.
Ray had too much eggnog, so Bernie had to step in to play tubular chimes and sleigh bells! It is almost impossible to overstate how rare this is... 😄
Nice to see Bernie, just as rare!
I must say Elton looked very pretty back then
Excellent Christmas Song... Love it! 🎄Thank you for sharing! 💖
Best Christmas present ever! I'll take it!
Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻love it
WOW! Listen to that bass guitar! Dee Murray was a great talent. He is my favorite bass player for a solo artist of all time.
UAL!!! Amazing!!!♥️
