  • to those that state this is "over produced" ,,I agree !,,"elton" in a lesser "mode" ,,is ,, still "great",,,,,nobody can catch "him",,,,,,enjoy !,,,,thanks for post !!

  • LONG LIVE KING ELTON!!!!!!

  • Probably one of my favorite Elton songs. I can't believe there are only quarter million views though ,wtf?!~

  • I agree with you Bumper....I'd love to hear him do this just playing the piano with his band and singing in his inimatable style. But I still like it though.

  • @leonthelegokid by the looks of ur account name its leon, nice try tho :)

  • come on do you really need that many musicians to make this song sound good

  • he's so best!! it's so fking brilliant to see him at live I could stay there for ever!!

  • who are the 9 IDIOTS who disliked this!?!?!?! were they high,, or are they just plain stupid?!!?!?!

  • @izzyfromWCS Stupid, because music sounds even better high.

  • @izzyfromWCS just cant beat these old farts.......Elton doing his thing, Nigel just dropping in the flams and fills with ease, Davey, constant lead, Bob, filling in for Dee like no-one else could....and to top it off, lets just throw a symphony orchestra in the mix.....one of , if not the best version of Levon i have ever heard!

  • @izzyfromWCS even high I am sure this music is great!!!

  • Thumbs up for a classic rock musician/singer who has become way better with age, like red wine. :)

  • @afterthoughtjosh i thumbed up the video for sure :)

  • I want to marry that hawt blonde violinist

  • raised on bbc,, now who the fuck is bringing them home,,because i have been underestimated,,xo,,think i may own a highway,,

  • raised on bbc,, now who the fuck is bringing them home,,because i have been underestimated,,xo

  • raised on bbc,,

  • He is so talented. I have a possible impression of why he became gay, and I hope I"m wrong: Could it be his mother was The British Version of Sarah Palin, and was just as nauseating? If that WAS the case, how could a mother do that to such a talented son? You don't do shit like that! PERIOD!

  • @kja427 sorry, but first off people do not decide their sexuality. It is a chemical inbalance in a person's brain between testosterone and estrogen; gay men have higher levels of estrogen making them less masculine therefore becoming homosexual as they reach adolescence age.

  • @DGianB7 has this been proven? im not gay, but i ask this question to my gay friends. most give me this answer but some do not. i could understand this though being the case.

  • To paraphrase the Sam Philips charter from 'Walk the Line' when he admonishes Johnny Cash ... "I don't believe you, Mr. Cash... " ... well, I believe you, Mr. John!!! And infinitely more than any "Gaga" or "Bieber":)

  • @2ninerniner2 I agree… except for the fact that I think lady gaga is the modern day Elton John… I love Elton sooo much and respect him… but Gaga is amazing and equally brilliant in her own right… but I agree with your opinion on Justin Bieber :)

  • @anthonya241 Gaga's more Madonna than Elton.

  • @sean1010103 yeah… I agree that she is alot like Madonna, but I also think that her whole image and self identity concept is very Elton. Being "openly gay" was very taboo and frowned upon, and Lady Gaga's provocative image is the same. Also, Madonna was crazy, and Gaga and Elton are both INNOVATIVE.

  • This song was named after musican and actor Levon Helm. Helm was a founding member of The Band.. best known for their 70's songs "Up On Cripple Creek" and "The Weight"... and was one of Elton John and Bernnie Taupin's favorite musicians. The lyrical content of the song is not "about" Helm.. just titled after his name. As well, a sample of Helm's acting roles can be found in "Coal Miner's Daughter", "The Right Stuff" and "End Of The Line".

  • this is phenomenal. God this song is so powerful for me.... After so many years it has never lost its ability to move me. <3

  • This song is about God (Jehovah Bar Abbas) and His son Jesus.

  • I know he had an operation on his throat back in the late 80s. Since then, he said he can't reach the high note he could reach before anymore.

  • i am speechless at this performance. will this kind of musical creativity and originality ever return???

  • i love his voice now... he has more soul... you just keep on doing your thing elton... love to you forever.... thank you for helping thru some tough time and even more so for sharing the good times....blessed be

    elton john

  • Ya, your right once you reach 40 it's all over especially the 60's. can't move well anymore. All talent goes to hell. Esp. playing a piano and wow the voice just goes to hell!.

    All old people should just be put out to die on the range. After all it;s all over but the crying

    Hope you live to be 60 years on!

  • this is the best version of LEVON I've ever heard!. The change in the seventh's and fifths is so cool!

    PLUS, his own son's middle name is this songs namesake( ie. dah! TITLE DUDES)!

  • 7 people weren't born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day when the NYT said "God is dead".

  • @msutton901 I LIKE MICHAEL TSARION, BECAUSE HE IS THE WORLDS PREMIER CONSPIRACY RESEARCHER/LECTURER/AUTHOR. DR. BILL DEAGLE, LEO ZAGAMI, JORDAN MAXWELL AND ALEXANDRE DUMAS PERE ARE HIGHLY INFORMATIVE AS WELL. ALEXANDRE DUMAS PERE WROTE OVER 400 HISTORICAL NOVELS EXPOSING WORLD TYRANNY(ROMAN CATHOLIC EMPIRE). THE SOCIETY OF JESUS(JESUITS) HAVE BEEN EXPELLED FROM 83 COUNTRIES AND THEIR POPE IS ARAMIS AND HE IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO(GENERAL OF THE JESUITS).

  • I just finished listening to a recording of this done in 1971 before I watched this video. Man, his voice has really gotten fucked up since then.....sucks to get old

  • @yahoopl3 this is way better now than in the 70's (back then (this song) sounded like a little kid trying to sing way out of the reality of this song. Now, Ellton sings this with authority and the deep seeded voice, and wisdom that brings out the reality of "LEVON". With maturity comes wisdom, man, "that's leaving Levon far behind" AND Eltons gone sailing~

  • @himtnman Elton needs a lot of reverb, puts his mouth right on the microphone, trying to get every last echo and effect out of his voice as possible, because it sounds like crap compared to what it used to be..he can't hit the high notes anymore either....get your hearing checked, that is all

  • @yahoopl3 Agreed. He sounds like a completely different person. I guess we know why his throat makes him sound so different after all these years.....

  • @yahoopl3 oh of course, because putting his mouth against the mic increases the amount of echo being applied to the voice... i don't know how you think the signal path goes, but it doesn't work like that. he puts his mouth against the microphone head like that to increase proximity effect, ensuring that the bottom end of his voice sounds like it should....get your facts checked. that is all.

  • @yahoopl3 I'm relatively certain someone killed Elton John around 1980 and took his place.

  • Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. I squeeled when I heard he named his son this. So Sweet. Elton is amazing in every way ♥

  • God I Love Elton. What a song. I have been listening to this song for years and every time I hear it, I sing and thats all I could ask for in a song.

    DJDANNYV -LONG ISLAND

  • I like this song!!

  • man after seeing a concert of him, ive been on the pc every night listenin to his songs... this is one of my favs. anyone do the same? haha

  • @K6Productions I saw him earlier this month in Louisville because Im from Kentucky, and it was by far the best concert I've ever been to !! And this just so happens to be my favorite song also. haha:)

  • @Kadalynn6 MICHAEL TSARION IS THE WORLDS PREMIER CONSPIRACY RESEARCHER/LECTURER/AUTHOR. DR. BILL DEAGLE, LEO ZAGAMI, JORDAN MAXWELL AND ALEXANDRE DUMAS PERE ARE HIGHLY INFORMATIVE AS WELL.

  • @K6Productions hahaha after EVERY concert!

  • @K6Productions yes. exactly the same story here.

  • @K6Productions yeah. been a fan before and since. i have a stash of his recordings. levon is one of my favourites

  • I'm gonna laugh so much when I die, go to heaven, and see Elton John there

  • I named my son after this song ~ 18 years ago <3

  • just saw him last night!!!!! I cried during this song!!!

    

  • @drewsmagicsoaps i did too. he is truly amazing! btw- Springfield, mo?

  • glorious!

  • awesome!!!!!!! and what a band incredible!!!!

  • Perfect time! How did all of these musicians play in such perfect time....beyond amazing!

  • Anyone who discriminates against people who have different sexual orientations than them should be seared with a hot iron saying "B-I-G-O-T" on their foreheads. Religion sucks.

  • @divinegod102 You know the real funny thing? Elton was knighted by a queen, lives like a king and has made millions doing exactly what he loved doing and does well. I don't think he gives a rats a** what some bigot on a web site has to say. Long after you me and the bigot are long dead and forgotten his genius will live on in his work. He wins in the end.

  • @Alexandertg1955 MICHAEL TSARION IS THE WORLDS PREMIER CONSPIRACY RESEARCHER/LECTURER/AUTHOR. DR. BILL DEAGLE, LEO ZAGAMI, JORDAN MAXWELL AND ALEXANDRE DUMAS PERE ARE HIGHLY INFORMATIVE AS WELL. MICHAEL SCOTT IS THE AUTHOR OF THE NICOLAS FLAMEL SERIES(THE ALCHEMYST, THE MAGICIAN, THE SORCERESS, THE NECROMANCER, THE WARLOCK).

  • one mozart one beethoven one elton !

  • im a heterosexual person and i dont give a f$@# that elton john,s gay!!! who cares? i thank the good lord above that he gave us this guy who writes incredibly moving and beautiful music!!! GOD BLESS SIR ELTON, your music has meant more to me than you will ever know!!! helped me thru some tough times, without it i dont know if id be here!!!

  • Elton makes me tear up. Truly amazing.

  • Who cares if Elton John is homosexual. God should love his children no matter what.

  • elton john and billy joel are the two greatest pianists ive ever heard, both amazing songwriters and singers and i cant give one an edge over the other so ill just sit back and enjoy some of the greatest music ever made by these 2.

  • @PittsburghPenguins02 true...but elton doesnt write his own songs...well his own lyrics at least

  • This man is truly Gods prodigy. Eff u who are hung up on his sexual preferences. Learn to enjoy your short lives and happiness is within your reach. Quit hating others for finding theirs.

  • this is the shit

  • AMASING!!!!! Only word to discribe it. Amasing!!

  • @CptFantaztic but theres more than one way to spell it apparently

  • @Bearbonshnok94 But I am a very gooder speller!! LOL

  • @CptFantaztic you are an amasing speller

  • Now this is music! A full choir, orchestra, and an amazing musically behind the paino.

  • thank u sir a true master of his work

  • The orchestra makes this performance so much better

  • He is a great piano player but he really sucks on the organ!!!....LOL

  • Happy 64th birthday to Sir Elton John!  Here he is, singing what would become his own child's name (who was also "born on a Christmas Day")...

    From his undisputed number one fan,

    tonnie

  • ....I ADORE the "heh. why not? I have infinity+1 dollars" logic that leads great, venerable individual rockers to throw concerts that follow the formula of "Rocker+Close Musical Friends+Choir+Orchestra".

    I don't know why, but this specific combination always just makes me happy.

    It's like the universe is saying "Sir Elton. You made great music. Now go have a load of fun for like..30 solid more years, and be the high point of the year for each and every person who sees you play"

  • Sir Elton John is one amazing musician....He got me through the hard times in the 70's in Detroit....Rock on Sir Elton John

  • When I was a boy and I first saw Elton he blew me away then, now Sir Elton is the best at what he does. Experience is displayed here, I saw him when his sound was raw, now we have a full production. I love Sir Elton because he put our blues and gospel in his music however his flare is awesome due to his keyboard playing. Remember Billy Joel was our hero.

  • 7 people dont have ears or eyes

  • @maccapaul123 Every shred of evidence points to Jesus existing...even Jesus' enemies during his time could never and didn't ever refute any of his miracles. and there are many non biblical sources including ancient historians who were eye witnesses of his life. saying he didn't/doesn't exist is like saying shakespeare didn't exist. I love Elton's music and have tons of respect for him as a human being,but saying Jesus/God don't exist is just silly. but thats your choice and this is America...

  • @thedudeabides2010 which ancient historians are you referring to that saw the miracles of jesus first hand? im just wondering cause i think the world would be a bit different (less violent and chaotic for one thing) if we had actual concrete and corroborated evidence of the existence of a divine being like jesus.

    i mean, its very possible he did exist as a man, but not as a divine being. like there really was a man named siddhartha gautama (Buddha) who lived but not as a divine being.

  • I was cool with this until it turned into a revival meeting. Bummer.

  • Pure GENIUS :)

  • My favorite Elton John song. I see it as having one of the best lyrics in music. "Levon wears his war wounds like a crown." Love it. Stings, "You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky, as we walk in the fields of gold. Is another strong lyric in my opinion.

  • apparently i should give up on music completely....i realize how much i suck when i listen to artists like this and especially when i go to my channel and there are no views on my videos or comments or anything...i guess i am truly worthless

  • @xZeChNox You mean you don't stack up against a world class talent? You have to put in 10,000 hours of practice to get to a level where you can solo in a concert hall; and that isn't a made up stat, it is true with almost everything in life.

  • @calvin2032 idk how many hours i put into my guitar playing.....i sit here from when i wake up...when i get home from school....and until like i go to sleep at night so idk...but i dnt feel that way anymore haha people view and comment my videos and tell me how they think im great at guitar now so im good haha :-) MUSIC!

  • Are you people not listening? God is dead, the new york times even had an article about it. Hahaha...

  • some of his songs i like, and some are run-of-the-mill....men hoo touch men, are not normal !

  • A son born on Christmas Day....Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John ---- For Sir Elton John and David Furnish ---their son...born on Christmas Day, 2011. God Bless!

  • I am a straight man and I despise homophobes. Elton is a great man who has created beautiful music for many years. Leave his sexual orientation out of it. Just enjoy the beautiful music this man has created over the years.

  • @bob8144 I'D LOVE TO SEE MORE POSTS LIKE THIS. IT MAKES TREMENDOUS SENSE!!!!

  • @skaterdudeguyperson Thank you, skaterdude. People need to learn to be more tolerant. There is no place for ignorance and bigotry in this world. Thanks again and have a great day.

  • I just got on here becuase i wanted to listen to this song and what people were saying upset me bad enough i had to make an account. Why is this mans life under persecution because of his sexuality? I am a lesbian. I am a christian. I beleive that you are judged on the goodness that you leave behind. I am sure that he has brought more beauty and inspiration to this earth then most. The bible cannot be used under circumstances of hate or dislike or people will only be turned away. Shed some light

  • What's all this "he's a great piano player - gay or straight bull! ? He's the FINEST ...PERIOD.

  • His music is timeless!!!!! Any bar is singing and dancing when his music playing THX for posting

  • @warningsofwrath people like you make me sad. some of us celebrate others for their accomplishments, for their talent, and for their ability to rise over obstacles like the one you're trying to shove down their throats. this man makes beautiful music, regardless of his sexuality. i like to believe god made us all equal, but when you spit on elton john's successes like this i must say i believe you are not above this man, nor are you equal in my eyes.

  • @exexoh

    First of all I am not trying to shove anything down anyone's throat. I simply state Bible truths and it is up to each individual whether to consider it or not. Second, what you or I would like to believe doesn't really matter. What God has said in the Bible is really all that matters.That is what we will be judged for. Success or no doesn't change the fact homos are perverted, and they make God Almighty Sick. I didn't spit on anyone,I just told the Bible truth.(warnings of wrath.com)

  • @warningsofwrath

    no, you are stating things for yourself the way you interpret the bible and are judging others. There is only one who may judge, and that is god himself. It is not up to you to condemn others for their beliefs. It is the duty of christians not to shun others for their beliefs, but rather to accept them and try to lead them to the way of christ.

  • @SilentStryk07

    I don't know where you get your info but you don't get it out of the Bible. If you would read the Bible you might learn something, ( warnings of wrath . com )

  • @warningsofwrath the bible has more contradictions then facts... read "Jesus Interupted" by Bart Ehrman...

  • @umzach Jehovah is Lucifer. This is a fact almost all christians will not come to terms with. Most christians are such brainwashed pigs they cant even eat a meal without roadkill(flesh, dogfood, catfood,etc) in it. The Society of Jesus(Jesuits) have been expelled from 82 countries and their pope is ARAMIS AND HE IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO(GENERAL OF THE JESUITS)

  • @warningsofwrath if you were knowledgeable you would know the bible is full of contradictions... please read "Jesus Interrupted" by Ehrman... it will enlighten you

  • @warningsofwrath Jesus and God also taught compassion and love for ones neighbor, why dont you practice that part of your faith as well you ignorant fuck?

  • @bott14

    There will be no love demonstrated on judgment day, so you better repent and obey the gospel of Christ now if you can. ( warnings of wrath . com ) 

  • @bott14

    Where is your love and compassion for me ??? That is what I thought ! ( warnings of wrath . com )

  • @exexoh Michael Tsarion is the worlds prmier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Dr. Bill Deagle, Jordan Maxwell, Lero Zagami and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative aas well. p.s. Melting Euphoria is similar to Ozric Tentacles and Gong.

  • @exexoh hey warningsofwrath you got owned TOOL

  • @exexoh yeah true but it's still sad that such an awesome guys rides the pole

  • @DustBuster91 It's only sad because you make it your own reality.

  • @exexoh I agree, except God doesn't make us all equal. He creates some with an exceptional gift, and Elton is one of those creations.
