Elton John - Skyline Pigeon - Live in Pontevedra (Solo)

grande elton john gracias x todo

I heard this live back in 1976 and it floored me then and still floors me now. Making it all the more special is knowing Elton performed it at young AIDS victim Ryan White's funeral gratis. He became very close with the family and with Ryan as he slowly lost his battle to AIDS, which he got from a blood transfusion. It was Ryans death that got Elton to assess his own lifestyle and go into rehab.

something about this song always makes me want to cry

[Jonastbm08]

Elton the best of the world

Jonas - Rio - Brazil

My parents brought me up on Elton's music. They were major fans growing up. Everything he does is magical and brings back childhood memories. I have almost everything he released except The Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love and his last one with Leon Russell, I think it was. This song really gets me emotional.

[tmac052558]

Elton's voice was in a higher register when he was younger. I guess that's normal for it to drop in later years. Plus, he had surgery on his vocal cords at one point. Great song. I love the original off of Empty Sky the best. Reminds me of being a kid.

[50Violetta]

This song is so touching, and I sure remember and love the "Empty Sky" album.

[TheIrishman1973]

This whole concert is surreal. Listen to Greatest Discovery and Tonight. Fantastic! Wish I could find it on dvd...

[manthega2]

Deixe-me apenas acordar de manhã,

Com o aroma do feno recém-cortado,

Para sorrir e chorar, para viver e morrer,

No brilho do meu dia...

[Sissiaraujo]

@manthega2 Sim, linda canção...Feno cortado? na Irlanda, há "muito tempo" atrás...rsss

[Quakelord1991]

What's strange (and yet fascinating) to me, whenever I'm listening to Elton John's songs, is that when he first starts to talk, and then sing is the difference with his voice.

What I mean is how deep his voice is when he's singing compared to talking. But yet its still amazing.

[veravidavegetariana]

Só ele consegue cantar com a voz do coração simplismente divino.

[claudemiresantos]

"Skyline Pidgeon" é de um disco do mesmo ano cujo título é:

"Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player: 1973", eu tinha dez anos nessa época, nunca tinha visto a cara do cara, porque tv naquela época era artigo de luxo, e vc de vinte e cinco com um tremendo bom gosto. Mas deixa-me dizer que eu penso que o melhor dele está nesta época...nos anos setenta

[chrispmis]

Thanks for the video! You're obviouly a person of wealth and taste. I love this song. I can remember the first time I heard it over 35 years ago.

[MrDan040686]

great song but i think he was losing a little bit of his voice in it

[bickeringbishop]

Wonderful. This song made me cry the first time I heard it.

[ranchoboyeros]

Great song

[quarky2001]

This as always been one of my favourite Elton songs!

[residentevil4ish]

Was Elton losing his voice a bit in

this?? cause i've noticed that but still a great song.....

[valeriuz79]

I love this song! I love Elton's music

[MatthewPalmer1992]

Quite simply, I love this song.

[jadedbutterfly27]

This is such a beautiful song...always makes me cry. Elton sang this song at Ryan White's funeral...may his sweet soul rest in peace.

[MrKleyner]

[EltonFloyd]

Love this song <3

[Karolbadgirl]

this song have more or less sixty years

she´s beautiful, good song...

[wojciechmo]

40 years

[gummiplutt]

A really great version of this song... I love it..

But two things: 1. the spanish voice in the begining is really annoying and I really hope that it is never repeated. And 2, the studio version of this song isn't NEARLY as good as the live versions. ^^

[FlyBoy7X7]

Obviously, the spanish voice is an interpretation of what Elton is saying...no big deal... Not everyone speaks English. - - Incredible piece of music; one of my favorites. Thanks for posting this!

[Nateness01]

The best live version of this I've heard yet on here

[FordHugheClees94]

made me cry once. and I rarely cry, but sometimes, music and mood can do strange things. especially Eltons music

[darnlan]

The only under-rated song by Elton John.

[MissEltonJohn]

One of his beautifulst songs ever...

Greta Sir Elton, like always..

5/5 + fav.

♥

[fabrizio1990]

terrific song! I love it !

[TheNickmeister5]

I hate that Empty Sky didn't really get the recognition it deserved. This is a great song!

[shiningkingghidora]

I had to sing Skyline Pigeon at my grandfather's funeral last year.

[vaumedina]

Obrigado pelo vídeo de boa qualidade.

Os brasileiros amam esta canção !

GRACIAS !

[maxb162]

I think you've said enough.

[eltonjohntheone]

He is a genious . he´s one of the best piano player ever and one of the best sellínd artists ever.

[ChelseaBoy2008]

He's more than just a musician. He's continually written hit after hit for fourty years and has changed so much yet never in a bad way. He is more than 'just' a musician!

[schieese]

gennious.

[bobdole9696]

This song always manages to make me feel sad since it reminds me of my deceased budgie. What a simple yet powerful song. I prefer his deeper voice to this song.

[carlarne0412]

Amazing, it actually made me cry, damn this man is powerful, his melodies and Taupin's lyrics are very special. and on top of that, he has one of the biggest voices in this world! I still can't believe his talent. God Bless

[karenwakok]

WOW!! T.T

[eltonj4ever]

[erick1302]

elton john the  best forever...you can be my hero

[501W]

[KamenRyderBlackRX]

Beautiful song!

[SimplyRavishing24]

I think it's a metaphor - could be about anyone wanting to escape something and set themselves free. Beautiful song.

[cmallaby]

[bombermanterrorist]

[DanielPianoFTW]

Wow, thanks alot!
