    No one entertains like Elton. His style & music has stood the test of time! It's like a breath of fresh air when I hear or see him sing. His music has truly been the soundtrack of my LCD! Ron Vaughn

    That's the best version. Raw, f...off-like, spit it out, who cares, mad. Rock'n'Roll pure. Nothing like that anymore. It's an attack! The band is the best ever. Dee is not of this world. Only The Who's John Entwistle could play the bass like this. Nigel is in sync with Elton's drumming left hand, Davey is tossing out some of the best riffs ever. It's forward, open, where would that energy settle? It's still here, as if it happened yesterday. No wonder that they had to take down Wembley Stadium at one point. Still standing, that one, forever!

  • @katiebohan698

    I’m only 15 years old but my dad has been introducing the genre of music to me ever since I was young. I gotta say, they really don’t make music like this anymore. Music today doesn’t have a meaning behind it. It’s all “Fuck bitches get money.” Back then we had Elton John singing a song about his road out of drug/alcohol abuse. We had Freddie Mercury touring up until he passed away. (Today we have singers canceling shows because of a cold.) And I just REALLY wish I was around during this time so I could witness this singers in their prime, live. I’m grateful for UA-cam because I can get a glimpse of what it was like.

    They tried to write him off in the 80's when the meaningless pop synth came along and then he destroyed them all with yet another masterpiece. ..one of the all time greats...a prolific songwriter who will live in our hearts forever...the people know he is one of a kind..from a time when people wrote and played hit after hit decade after decade...a true legend!! Who needs religion when you have stuff like this to believe in!

    I'm well aware of Mr. Taupin's contribution to the Elton legacy. Just keep in mind that Elton was the one who put those lyrics to music, sang them on stage and entertained several generations of fans for years in concert halls, stadiums, parks, arenas and who knows what else.

  • @billavonmouth9883
    @billavonmouth9883 9 років тому +3

    As others have said the late great Dee Murray was probably one of the finest bassists ever to pick up an instrument. This must have been one of the last times he played with Elton in the UK as he was sacked from the band (for the second time!) four months later. He had already undergone surgery for cancer by this time and despite being in remission for a while the cancer returned and he died at the age of just 45 in 1992. (As a footnote, Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson were brothers-in-law by marriage for a while as they married twin sisters!)

    • @billavonmouth9883
      @billavonmouth9883 8 років тому +1

      +michael jagger If you dig deep enough the reason why they were sacked is out there, but there's no doubt that Elton's resurgence in the early 80s had a lot to do with reuniting with Bernie Taupin and getting the classic band back together.

    • @jaggass

      +Bill Avonmouth Why was Dee and Nigel sacked in 1984?

    • @billavonmouth9883
      @billavonmouth9883 8 років тому +1

      if the stories are to be believed, Elton decided to part with Nigel in 1984 over a number of issues, and Dee was collateral damage as they came as a unit

    • @jaggass
      @jaggass 8 років тому

      Bill Avonmouth .Elton might have wanted a new sound as well. Nigel and Dee did come back in the 80's to do backing vocals on the Reg Strikes Back album. If Dee was still alive now he would still be in Elton's band. I don't think the Elton would get rid of Nigel now. The balance is just right.

    Verse 1]
    You could never know what it's like
    Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
    And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
    You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
    And did you think this fool could never win
    Well look at me, I'm coming back again
    I got a taste of love in a simple way
    And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away
    [Chorus 1]
    Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
    Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
    I'm still standing after all this time
    Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
    [Chorus 2]
    I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah [2x]
    [Verse 2]
    Once I never could hope to win
    You starting down the road leaving me again
    The threats you made were meant to cut me down
    And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now
