  • I'm up with another solo show from 2008. It's from Fairbanks, AK, USA 29th May. The quality is very good and is an audience recording. There's not much to say about the show -- just an ordinary solo show from Elton with all the great songs played only on the piano. Great versions of the songs.
    - Enjoy!

    Think his piano's solo's are the best versions of his songs.

    I went to one of Elton’s solo shows in Denver back in 2011. He absolutely blew my mind. Just incredible!

      Dawid Zapotoczny maybe someone could transcribe it, but these intros are always mostly improvised.

    Is there any chance to get sheet music on these solo versions? Usually you can only find a lot simplified ones... This is just awesome!

    It's the first mistake like that I've seen in all Elton shows, and I've seen lots of them… don't know what the hell happened there… O__O well, he's human, after all hehe

    I love Elton John. He's a great man and a great inspiration. His talent is unmeasurable as his humility. There are parts where it sounds like Elton isn't pronouncing words right but as if he's been to the Dentist but is it because he's showing age or is it the recording quality?

    • @bonadrag2877
      @bonadrag2877 8 років тому +4

      It's the actual sound of his voice, though I feel it has improved quite a bit within the last couple years, with better clarity.

      It’s also because certain constants are a lot harder on the voice than others. A lot of singers do this. The reason you hear Elton do it is because he works the mic so close.

    • @mrscottify
      @mrscottify 2 роки тому +1

      It’s him “cheating” some of the words so he can hit the notes he wants. Every singer does it, it’s very common. He just has do it a bit more than others because of what register his voice sits in nowadays. He’s still killing it, it’s all love 💫❤️
