On the earlier part of the European leg of the Reg Strikes Back tour he tried doing the falsetto on Kiss The Bride but he couldn't quite manage it so stopped doing it.
[Verse 1] Well, she looked a peach in the dress she made When she was still her mama's little girl And when she walked down the aisle, everybody smiled At her innocence and curls And when the preacher said, "Is there anyone here Got a reason why they shouldn't wed?" I shoulda stuck up my hand I shoulda got up to stand And this is what I should have said [Chorus] I wanna kiss the bride, yeah! I wanna kiss the bride, yeah! Long before she met him She was mine, mine, mine Don't say, "I do" Say, "Bye, bye, bye" And lemme kiss the bride, yeah! I wanna kiss the bride, yeah! [Verse 2] Underneath her veil, I could see a tear Tricklin' down her pretty face And when he slipped on the ring, I knew everything Would never be the same again But if the groom woulda known, he'd have had a fit About his wife and the things we did And what I planned to say Yeah, on her weddin' day Well, I thought it, but I kept it hid
Damn his voice is deeper her than in 1983, but that was probably because of the throat surgery in 1987. His voice became a baritone in the late 80's right around 1988 with reg strikes back. That and being in his 40's
On the Reg Strikes Back tour he sounded rough on lots of shows as he was still doing drugs and growling notes which was burning his voice out. After he got clean his voice became cleaner and much better.
I remember reading that Elton didn't sing this song anymore! I'm not sure if its true or not but I've certainly never seen a live version of it past the eighties! he put in a reasonable performance of it here but coming off the back of watching him sing it in 1984 the high parts are of course absent courtesy of his mid 80's throat op
@@jaggass Sorry but that's gotta be a bunch of horse shit. Elton met Renate in 1983 when he was finishing up recording the Too Low For Zero album, at which point Kiss The Bride has already been written long before, probably a year or two (or even earlier) [Elton's song can be heard in some live performances in 1979 but it came out on The Fox album in 81] At best you could stretch the narrative that the song simply reminded him of her, that's why he chose to stop doing it. Yet in this performance, he's already post divorce with Renate. So really, the theory just doesn't stick. The more probable reason is that A) Elton couldn't hit the high notes as well as he used to and B) the song wasn't as great a hit as others.
This is professional quality picture wise, is this from a bootleg or unreleased official recording? If someone could fix the audio, it would be great, maybe find a good audio recording of the same show and mix it.
Love it when he jumps up. I would of loved to of seen this
I wish he would do this live again on the farewell tour.
2 low 4 0 best album he did.

[Verse 1]
Well, she looked a peach in the dress she made
When she was still her mama's little girl
And when she walked down the aisle, everybody smiled
At her innocence and curls
And when the preacher said, "Is there anyone here
Got a reason why they shouldn't wed?"
I shoulda stuck up my hand
I shoulda got up to stand
And this is what I should have said
[Chorus]
I wanna kiss the bride, yeah!
I wanna kiss the bride, yeah!
Long before she met him
She was mine, mine, mine
Don't say, "I do"
Say, "Bye, bye, bye"
And lemme kiss the bride, yeah!
I wanna kiss the bride, yeah!
[Verse 2]
Underneath her veil, I could see a tear
Tricklin' down her pretty face
And when he slipped on the ring, I knew everything
Would never be the same again
But if the groom woulda known, he'd have had a fit
About his wife and the things we did
And what I planned to say
Yeah, on her weddin' day
Well, I thought it, but I kept it hid
Too low for zero was for a hero!
perfeito. canta dmais
Love this!

Not only that he came out gay in 1988 so there would have been no sense in singing it anymore.
@@jaggass Change one pronoun and it still works!
@@jaggass if that was the true reason he would've stopped singing rocketman too because of the ''I miss my wife" part :}
@@berryryder9175 Kiss The Bride was specifically written about Elton and Renate's relationship.Rocketman isn't.

Get rid of those backup singers and bring back Nigel and Dee, then this would have been 100 percent better
Nigel is back.
