A Taupin and Elton masterpiece which no-one should ever attempt without severe caution. Brandi and her band nail it with their arrangement and delivery. Capturing the original energy, it delivers the passion and chaos of both the lyric and music....... it takes me back to 1971 and my first listening of this classic and now 51 years later......... another glimpse of the Madman across the water.
Yes, Brandi and her band nail it. Almost shocking: she demonstrates she's a better singer than Elton... in a way, he is dethroned... not really, though. EACH of their versions ascend to the heavens.
I had my Elton John CD collection, complete thru "Here and There", stolen... I'm still sick over it! Punks probably didn't even know a single song from that era, which was amazing! Tumbleweed Connection probably my favorite. Some of those are out of print, the replacements are cheap, no liner notes. Thankfully, I still have a bunch in Vinyl for that content.
There are no words to describe how great this song is covered. Vocals, band, strings nail it. One of Elton and Bernies greatest songs and this doesn't disappoint!
Killer rendition of a Elton John classic. Brandi executes another flawless homage to her hero, while her band delivers the goods like no other. The twins were immaculate and POW POW was right on time. The orchestration was just the cherry on the top! Thank you guys.
Wow! I’ve never heard anyone attempt this masterpiece of Elton and Bernie’s, much less by a female voice! Brandi nails this and her arrangement of it is quite clever! Nice! Very, very nice!!
I like it that she walks over in front of the string section and the camera follows her and she moves out of the way to put them in the spotligt. She does this a couple times. Then she lets the twins take center stage. A truly great performer lets all the stars in the band shine.
WOW, what a performance by Brandi Carlile a classic rock song by one of the greatest classic rock singers ever, Elton John!!!!!!! I bet this makes Elton very proud!! Brandi Carlile doesn’t get the credit she is due for her fantastic talents as a musician!! Beautiful song all the way around!!
As a musician myself I have no words to describe how awesome her performance of this song is. This is my favorite Elton John song and I've never tried to cover it in all of my 56 years. THAT ought to tell you something and I've been a drummer playing a double bass kit for most of those years.
The drummer here is pretty top notch, and he beats them like they stole his money. Overall a great song that many will not touch. Fucking awesome, no reason this is not played more, does anyone have taste anymore.
This is not an easy song to cover....very few have attempted it. Brandi (and the band) kills it and reminds us of what a great song/gift this was from EJ.
my lead player and myself have been doing this tune for many years and quite well but when we both heard brandi do it I felt like an amature compared to this girl . very powerful voice and stage presence. love her
A very tight band that really jams well together, unreal cover version of a great song. At least to me it will be tough going back to the original because of how effin good this was.
Echoing nearly every other comment, this is an outstanding performance of a challenging song that captures the essence of the original and takes it into the stratosphere. Brandi and band deserve accolades.
It is easy, if the band is good, just throw in a string section and your song or cover will pretty much be a definite two thumbs up. NOW, before you blast me, please reread what I wrote and "think" about it. I am NOT saying any cover or original song can be made great by the simple addition of strings. The band has to be GOOD for those strings sound amazing... BAD= BAD...
no doubt about it . brandi nailed this song like no one can . this girl is without a doubt one of the best of the best female artists of our time period !
Discovered this piece of absolute brilliance today. I've loved her music and especially her live creations (credit to her stellar band, too) before, but this is on a whole other level. This is a creation of the Divine Goddess dancing on stardust floating across a rainbow licked underneath by the flames of Hell.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I love Elton John and am usually very critical of covers - so many are so bad. But this is brilliant. Spectacular vocals, and amazing arrangement that manages to be faithful to the original while being totally fresh and new at the same time. Just, friggin' WOW!
I agree 100%! Elton John is one person that not too many can do his songs any justice. She’s hands down one of my favorite singers. Has been for years.
Oh Brandi, madly humble and in love with her craft. This band is incredible, the best live performance you'll ever see, and if you're like me, you'll return to be blessed by their talent over and over.
I have been an Elton John fan for literally 50+ years since he erupted - This cover is OUT F----ING STANDING! Elton gave Brandi his props in his autobio "Me", not just for her music but what she did for Joni Mitchell when Joni needed the help.
Janis Joplin said that you've got to "lean into the music" . In this performance, she leans in and shoves it with both hands. Great performance all around. Let's not forget the outro guitar solo that draws blood.
I am 62 and can't believe I just "discovered" Brandi. I have been having a Zeppathon all day and somehow ended up here after listening to Neil Young. She really brought something to the table. (Always been a Bonnie Raitt fan,) They all blew my face off.
I never even thought I'd live to see someone attempt this song ...let alone CRUSH it!!! ....& I've seen Elton play it live 2ce ....awesome work lady!!!
Well, you just don't know what talent is, Ed. Real talent is being able to perform choreographed dance moves on stage while lip-syncing your previously auto-tuned vocals.
Never thought I’d hear a cover of this song. You gotta have guts to try it; and you gotta have the chops to pull it off. Lady, you and your band did it marvelously. Now I have to wonder why I have never heard of you and start listening to more of you. Wow… I’m impressed.
Every once in awhile a brilliant performance catches your attention on the web! There just isn’t that much by way of good music being made today.......boy this was a breath of fresh air! Bravo!
Is that all? Just a 100, now you have me worried due to I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched it. You’ve got me asking myself, do I need therapy...lol Stay safe my music friend, greetings from Orange Beach Alabama
Yes. One of Taupin's best. And Elton complemented the lyrics perfectly with this masterpiece. Together, along with the vocals, you have what's needed for one unforgettable stroke of genius.
@@jimrauh3584 honestly tonight is a quirky kinda song. I don’t like the version for blue moves, but the live version from the “live in Australia” recordings, I like.
I generally hate cover versions, but for some reason UA-cam's algorithm made this pop up for me, and boy, am I glad it did! Holy cow, I didn't even know who Brandi Carlile was, and now I have a new artist to explore. I think the term "nailed it" was invented JUST for this! Perfect vocals, band on top of their game. Truly amazing:)
@@dublinjazz1, if you get a chance to see them live, GO! I travelled all over to see them live. I have a lot of videos on my channel from the shows that I attended. 😊✌️
First time I have ever heard this woman sing...chills on my back. She takes this song seriously. WOW. WOW. WOW. Who even attempts to sing like this? Mother of Gaaawd.
ej b oh you’re gonna get addicted like the rest of us..lol..she can sing and cover so many different genres..and can harmonize w anybody...Search duets or covers for more
Amazing! I'm a long time Elton fan and had never heard of this cover. I'm now a new Brandi Carlile fan. Great vocals and such awesome energy from the band.
I've seen Brandi perform this live a couple of times now, and it just keeps getting better and better. I can't think of one other person who can perform this song so incredibly well and turn around and sing Joni Mitchell too. This band and Brandi's vocals are incredible.
A once in a lifetime performance equal to the kennedy honors of led zeppilin and stairway to heaven More than a tribute like that Soulfull amazingly talented a hardworking hard driving interpretion that captures Bernie and Elton's intent. And reintroduces it.
The respect that these people had for this song was incredible.It brought tears to my eyes. I am such a fan of Elton that I even cirque Elton singing his own songs live. This was well done and obviously done out of love for what Bernie was truly trying to say. Thank you.
It takes a true EJ fan like Brandi to do this cover song justice. Simply brilliant‼️ I'm so looking forward to hear their new duet on Elton's THE LOCKDOWN SESSIONS album.
I'm just now hitting this video and amazing stunning performance. Dude! you hit the mark! Wow. Awesome energy. Including those strings. They truly captured the original and made their own. Very good performance.
Well that was unexpected. Been an Elton John fan since 1972, and as commented earlier this may be as good as the original or even better. Strings were better than the original and give it that ominous, haunted, "I'm sitting by a moonlit lagoon at night all alone" feel. Very, very, very good.
My adopted dad passed away on May 5th, from COVID-19. He was 92, but lived a great life. He loved Elton John, and CSN. While he and I never got to an EJ concert, he took me to see CSN three times during the 1970’s. I have him to thank, for the wide range of music that I like!
A great musical performance enabled by a sound crew who were equally proficient. I was able to hear the subtleties of each instrument and Brandi’s vocals in exquisite detail. Bravo to all involved!,
Awesomely tight band, killer vocals, stellar arrangement and all on a song most people don't have the balls to even play let alone make it sound like it's their own original composition. This is how covering a song is supposed to be. If you can't reinvent the piece and, yet, still pay homage to it then don't touch it. Bravo!
A Taupin and Elton masterpiece which no-one should ever attempt without severe caution. Brandi and her band nail it with their arrangement and delivery.

I just listened to the Warren Haynes version and he kills it. I wore this vinyl out. Elton truly ROCKED OUT on the original. Shalom
@@noneyabusiness6015 if you haven’t got anything worthwhile to say, say nothing
@@noneyabusiness6015 Wrong...because I said she did!!
In my opinion his best album although Yellow Brick Road still resides next to my CD player. I don't think he ever equalled either of them thereafter.
Early Elton was the best, and this is the best ever cover. How anyone could "dislike" is beyond me.
I totally agree with you.
So right, Pancho and Kathy. I agree with both of you. This is pristine. Acoustic, Classical, and then Rock? What could be wrong with that?
👍🎯👏
Most people have NO clue as to how heavy and badass early Elton (and the band) was. This entire album was absolutely KILLER!
I had my Elton John CD collection, complete thru "Here and There", stolen... I'm still sick over it!
Punks probably didn't even know a single song from that era, which was amazing! Tumbleweed Connection probably my favorite. Some of those are out of print, the replacements are cheap, no liner notes. Thankfully, I still have a bunch in Vinyl for that content.
Look at their faces. I love when a band knows they just nailed a song.
There are no words to describe how great this song is covered. Vocals, band, strings nail it. One of Elton and Bernies greatest songs and this doesn't disappoint!
You said it
This may very well be the GREATEST cover I have ever heard!!!
You need to listen to a lot more music.
@@scottmurphy650 lol
I'm with you raindeer.
Although her cover of Woodstock (if one can even call it a cover, it's her very own) comes in a close second.
Well I'm old and listen to a lot of music and this is one of the best things on the internet.
Masterclass !!!
In sitting in my chair crying. The emotion in her voice, got me.
Killer rendition of a Elton John classic. Brandi executes another flawless homage to her hero, while her band delivers the goods like no other. The twins were immaculate and POW POW was right on time. The orchestration was just the cherry on the top! Thank you guys.
Exact on all points. A creation beyond words. It needs to be felt to fully grasp the depth of this work.
Wow! I’ve never heard anyone attempt this masterpiece of Elton and Bernie’s, much less by a female voice! Brandi nails this and her arrangement of it is quite clever! Nice! Very, very nice!!
That was the best version of that song I’ve ever heard, fantastic
Gotta love artists who hold nothing back.
If No Fear has a face, this is it. Confident in your craft and not afraid to show it.
I like it that she walks over in front of the string section and the camera follows her and she moves out of the way to put them in the spotligt. She does this a couple times. Then she lets the twins take center stage. A truly great performer lets all the stars in the band shine.
She knows just how good they are, and wants the rest of us to know, too.
True. Carlos does the same thing.
WOW, what a performance by Brandi Carlile a classic rock song by one of the greatest classic rock singers ever, Elton John!!!!!!! I bet this makes Elton very proud!! Brandi Carlile doesn’t get the credit she is due for her fantastic talents as a musician!! Beautiful song all the way around!!
Pop not rock
As a musician myself I have no words to describe how awesome her performance of this song is. This is my favorite Elton John song and I've never tried to cover it in all of my 56 years. THAT ought to tell you something and I've been a drummer playing a double bass kit for most of those years.

The only test of art is does it make you feel. Well this sure passed.
She's killing it. This is one of those tunes you wouldn't approach unless you're pretty confident
So is the BAND!
Absolutely true...the band is tight..the delivery.. exceptional.
Saw this live last summer-highlight of the show!
That's an understatement. So true.
This is no stripped down acoustic reinvention, this is the whole song strings and everything! Just wow!
This is not an easy song to cover....very few have attempted it. Brandi (and the band) kills it and reminds us of what a great song/gift this was from EJ.
And props to Bernie Taupin too!
how is it hard to cover?
my lead player and myself have been doing this tune for many years and quite well but when we both heard brandi do it I felt like an amature compared to this girl . very powerful voice and stage presence. love her
@@mariemurtha8952 To say least! Are you related to Phil Murtha?
A very tight band that really jams well together, unreal cover version of a great song. At least to me it will be tough going back to the original because of how effin good this was.
There is NO ONE I would rather see in concert right now than Brandi !!! 🥰
Echoing nearly every other comment, this is an outstanding performance of a challenging song that captures the essence of the original and takes it into the stratosphere. Brandi and band deserve accolades.
Two words. Brandi kicks! Took long enough for this band to get the recognition they deserve. Excellent!
This might make some of you angry but this is better than the original. Truly amazing!
I'm a die hard Elton and Bernie fan but I have to agree with you.
She is so good
Sir Elton would love this !!!! I guarantee it
Love love love Brandi but Elton johns live version is just amazing not to take away from Brandi.
The version on the madman across the water album is special to me, but this is true to the demo version on tumbleweed connection
I believe that this just might be the best cover I’ve ever heard
This is my favorite version. There is also a great alternate version on the Rarities double CD from 1990.
Definitely one of my favorites. If you haven’t already heard it, listen to the cover of Cortez the Killer by Grace Potter
@@donwheeler8742 I love Grace Potter. She gets not enough recognition.
Yup! That drummer is dangerous.

Dislikers of this performance are dills. It was powerful visually and sonically. That's it! I'll be following you Brandi. Well done to all concerned.
This woman is absolutely amazing.
Just came back here to say that Brandi Carlile is phenomenal!
I have listened to this about 20 times in the last 2 days. Just wow!
Check out the acoustic cover on Stern…pretty different, and very very excellent
And that, folks, is how it’s done.
That is how a _"cover version"_ is done. ☮
no doubt about it . brandi nailed this song like no one can . this girl is without a doubt one of the best of the best female artists of our time period !
A real talent, not a computer version with computer music, and a top notch band playing on this. Fucking rocked!!
Bloody hell what a drummer! Amazing cover.
Nothing better than live music with spirited performances. great cover
Tops engineering, mixing, and camera work help :)
Wow, this was awesome.

This woman has a rare and beautiful gift. ❤️
Man, it is just so rare for any person, man or woman, to come up to a mic live and just push a sustained pitch PERFECTLY out like that. What a voice.
Never heard of her before. Damn what an awesome cover!
Love the way she leans back and belts out a line, and then half way through she finds another cloud to climb and soars above it all...
Absolutely
Never thought I'd hear ANYONE redo this song to my liking(1 my fav albums) but she NAILS it beautifully, she truly does
She certainly knows how to work the mic and what a POWERFUL VOICE....glad you love her too

The song is from 1971
The Band is awesome.
Not many people can better Eltons version, but this is really fantastic. Killer version
