Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

[WintersWar]

was that hat worth it? it looks hot as hell and it's bending his ears.

[weirdguy75]

he was very much coked up

[bertisevil333]

Has anybody got this whole 82 xmas concert ? I have it recorded on a cassette back from then but the tape was loved so much it is warping and then end was missing, i so miss listening to this concert

[StevenShields29]

The aah's are soooooooo out of tune, it's just ghastly. And he sounds like he was on crack...it keeps accelerating.

Look at 2:11 to 2:21...he's looking back over his shoulder compulsively, the third time with those eyes! He was definitely on something...

[princev11]

this was during his drug period

hes alot better now :) i saw him twice last year watch him at basel or anywhere else recent, its awesome

[StevenShields29]

Oh, I love him, alright. It's just so weird to see him stoned to hell on stage. Quite funny, in a way. But weird.

[Surfer3641]

Was he stoned here or it just me?

[Whynotskateboard]

pause at 2:18 or 2:19 his eyes O.O hahahaha

[plainlaquita]

Thank you.

[weirdguy75]

he still had a falsetto still awsome

[viktornei]

Nice

[godwhyisthistaken]

cool

[WhisperLady023]

A was looking a long long time (!) for this vid! Thank you so much :D

[Blakarden9]

Kinda takin' the tempo fast, eh Elton?

[WhisperLady023]

hahahhahaha well I like it! It sounds funny ^^

[BrianGriffin88]

a little bit too fast but stil great :)

[EltonSouth]

This is the last tour I would've watched of Elton. I saw him in 88 it was horrible. I wish I could've seen him in 72-73.

[princev11]

i saw him this year

and hes great! :D

he doesnt look that bad in 88

but hes much better now

[platitudipus]

@EltonSouth his worst concerts were probably '86-89 A) cause of throat surgery and B) cocaine during concert

[mhvr85]

@platitudipus 86 tour leave it alone mate....cause he did one of the most amazing concerts I've ever seen with the melbourne symphony orchestra in Sydney dressed as Amadeus. He surgery was back in 1987 by the way....and his 89 tour was amazing too with the 3 ladies singing the chorus of his songs...and his roland at the center of stage. Excellent mate, trust me that i have over 200 audio concerts of elton and more than 100 on video =O). If anyone wants to trade let me know!

[Georgesimian]

I was there. It was one of the best shows ever. Cliff Richard came out for a song.

[brendevine]

Nice but played WAY too fast like a lot of his 80s stuff

[efester]

Cos he was probably coked up at the time! :)

[chelseaboy2005]

is it me or is the White Piano he used during the '80s a lot weaker in terms of sound than the usually used Black Piano?

[eltonator]

I agree...it almost sounds like the keys are 'muted' to an extent...

[chelseaboy2005]

Fantastic!!! Thanks for the post!!!

[StephanieEM23]

Great to see (and hear!) Dee Murray! Thanks.

[wetjew]

aha,thank you for the information=).
