Elton John - Chloe - LIVE Rare 1982

[Chloedanser94]

Yet another Chloe here. Except my full first name is ChloeDanser and I was named after Chloe dancer crown of thorns. Although I do love the Danser part of my name, I would of rather been named after this song. It's a good song!

[Misscrazyangel1]

[tanzy111]

I attended this show. Elton mentions during the concert that it was a beautiful venue and evening...it truly was.. Great to see Elton outdoors before amphitheaters became popular.

[Rocketman2396]

Beautiful :) One of my favorites.

[THENAKEDBEACH]

I listened to this live on the radio the night it was first broadcast. Recorded it and listened to it a hundred times before the tape died. The Starlight Theater in Kansas City. Thanks for posting. Post more of the concert if you have it.

[Chutney14]

Didn't make the comment clear--it was to us!!! Thanks so much for posting; the cassette tape has long since shredded.

[Chutney14]

Can't believe I found this. I am Barbara, and my best friend is Irma. We are so thrilled.

[strangefruit42]

Wonderful song in a fantastic version. "The Fox" is such an underrated album of perfect pop music.

[77edster]

Davey Johnstone really is an underrated guitarist

[iLabradork]

My name is Chloe and this is probably my favorite song. This is where my parents got my name because they danced to this song the day they met.

[NMCELROY1993]

omg chloecaoimhe is such a slut

[ChloeCaoimhe]

IM CALLED CHLOE

[BigShotTony]

This concert is fantastic. Elton was in amazing shape and the set list was awesome. He did "Teacher, I Need You" at this show which I don't think he had ever done live. This is a great version of a sadly forgotten song.

[j4bologna1998]

The 1982 Jump Up tour was, in my opinion, the best thing since his '74 tour. I saw him 3 nights in a row about a week after the Kansas City show. It was just amazing to see the original band - all happy and having a BLAST!

[xchloejanex]

[clo1992]

CHLOEEEEE

Oh yeaaah.

My song. ;]

[CNJGeep]

Now THAT is music.

He should break this out sometime in the near future.

[jtsnowman66]

Yeah I just looked it up, Renwick played the guitars on 'The Fox'...Davey Johnstone's name isn't mentioned in the credits at all.

[jtsnowman66]

Wasn't Tim Renwick playing guitar for Elton at the time? He is very distinctive and it sounds just like him... in fact I'm pretty sure it is. He played in Pink Floyd for a while too, and is VERY good.

[brianxyz]

But this is a live version. The album doesn't even credit a guitarist but it wasn't Davey. However, this is Davey playing here. This was the Jump Up! tour--just EJ, Davey, Dee and Nigel. I've heard the entire LA concert from this tour and it is amazing. Great set list if you like hearing new and rarely played songs and Davey totally rocked.

[mafra61]

Very nice. Elton made this song for his

partner at that time,Charles,whose nickname

was "Chloe".

[lattevaniglia]

this makes me so glad my name is chloe (:

[jnoble12]

I've always liked the smokey atmosphere of this song, especially during the guitar solo in the middle

[2rainbowed]

to jnoble12: the guitar solo is sweet, isn't it?  What do you think that is? Johnstone can emit the most amazing sounds from his guitar (theres an amazing vid on YouTube -"creating Funeral for a friend"- but I can't tell without watching -is that slide guitar or steel guitar? Anyone know?

[jnoble12]

He's using a volume pedal to make those particular sounds on the guitar

[mortenkul]

@jnoble12 I don't don't like that '' guitar '' sound x )

[77edster]

@2rainbowed volume pedal

[ivoryman996]

Thats the perfect description of this song...smoky ive been trying to think of a way to do so...

[coolstone07]

great to hear this song live! but a bit to upbeat for me.

[mignonhenne]

you make me wanna buy the lps and i have these songs in a piano book so after years and years i can dfinally play them.

[avth76]

it is a very good song....and i think the whole album is great!

[dockeen19090]

Interesting lead guitar work.

[browndirtkowboi]

My eldest daughter is named for this song and it cannot be anything but the best thing EJ has ever done. Haunting and reverent, for all of us who have fault and are sorry, a plea to forgive what has (and inevitably WILL) be our shortcoming---careless focus and the act without thought. Forgive me, Chloe'----I WILL always be your friend. Dad

[72miche19]

Nice version, I like this one.
