elton john Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) 80

[h2overit]

He is, always has been and always WILL BE ........ incredible right from the very beginning. He, pretty much, 'carried' the 70's and it was a BLAST!!!

[gislebertus00]

He rocks it, especially in the M. Bison outfit.

[spiner1963]

He's always been such a geek !! lol !! Good tunes but a geek ! Then the "Queen" ( get it ?) dubs him "Sir" lmao !! : /

[sumadinac2006]

What's this billion people :)))

[Elton33lover33kay]

@ 1979daveclub ..... I am 15 and love Billy Joel and of course Elton. Dont worry it happens to many...

[ArtificialTalent]

This version is played at cocaine speed.

[upperup]

elton's really feeling it at 2:59 , i think this is one of his most energetic performances of this song

[ebcarrier]

I was there. saturday night was a highlight but the whole show was great. Xlassic.

[ninelivecat]

This looked like a great free show and Simon and Garfunkel did a free show a year later at Central Park did the free shows continue after that ?

[ZR21528]

that suit is fucking badass!!

[guitard00d]

Nickelback's version is a hack knock-off, just like their knock-off of Sharp Dressed Man. Obviously they've exhausted all of what little creativity they had and all they can do now is knock off copies of other people's songs and write bad ones of their own.

[suicidalemming]

@guitard00d wow really? dont gotta bash nickelback. you know how many bands did covers of the beatles? thats what bands do. no big deal. what about little richards slippin and slidin' thats been redone about 100 times! house of the rising sun they dont even know who wrote the song but theres been atleast 50 versions of it. dont hate!

[80sgirl007]

Great song!

[deathlesshorsie]

In a word Nickelbad are a band for latent homosexuals....

[zestamaster]

@deathlesshorsie elton john is a homosexual so even though i agree with you you argument is irrelevant

[1979davecub]

Somehow,I think I was born in the wrong era! Im 30,yet i am constantly enamored with the music and culture of the 70's.Elton John,ELO,Steely Dan,Eagles,Pink Floyd,Led Zepplin,Billy Joel,The Carpenters...so much great music,most before my time.

[weirdguy75]

Nickelback really could never in a millenia make this song better than it is. Reg's style and chad Krugers style of rock differs too much. Plus on a personal opinion Nickelback sucks

[delgadox]

this is ROCK. nickelback is good for mtv, for teenagers, for businness-

[Villeneuve27]

@delgadox nickelback is Gay as AIDS

[TIMMEE57]

I was at this concert, what a great concert it was!!!! Elton John put on an amazing show, definitely a memorable one for sure!!!!!

[Villeneuve27]

Nickelback is for the gays.

[Stiletto92]

contrary to popular belief, nickelback don't rock. they are boring. elton is a real rock and roll entertainer

[Bigpimpmike786]

Nickelback's version is WAY better...this song on piano=wtf? on guitar=HELL YEA!!

[shmeepea]

@Bigpimpmike786 i hope that was a joke.

[Bigpimpmike786]

@shmeepea fuck no it wasn't a joke NICKELBACK DOES ALOT BETTER AND FUCK ALL OF YOU WHO ARE NICKELBACK HATERS :P

[shmeepea]

@Bigpimpmike786 i hope you grow up soon.

[alcockell]

Hmm - can't help thinking how you'd have 3 BBC cameramen on Elton - one shoulderheld one right in at Elton's left hand, another aimed from the front.. and basically more cameras and closer to the action.

[jasonungar08]

1000 bucks a day on blow. think about that.

[weirdguy75]

@jasonungar08 I can believe that. 7 grand on coke and who knows how much on booze and weed

[77edster]

@jasonungar08 How the hell is he still alive?

[348Silva]

When he was more young, is very natural that was more Rocker, because the time changes as person, present day he don`t do with that energy.

[381WILLIAN]

he i legend

[alcockell]

HEY! I had this gig on Beta back in the day!

[MissEltonJohn]

wow that's GREAT!!

i love his suit (s)!

and look how cute he is there!´ANd the song..WOW!!!!!!!!! it really rocks!!!!! GREAT!!!

wow, Elton is the best! A great LEGEND!!!!!

[NecramoniumKISSvideo]

can't believe this song made Guitar Hero 5...

[metallegion501]

You guys hear the Flotsam and Jetsam cover its awsome!

[eltonator]

Nice little alteration of the lyrics in the second verse. Does anyone else think he was a little bit fucked at this concert?

[TheMuffin93]

Anyone who says that Nickelback's version is better clearly hasn't seen this video.

[princev11]

and he rocks it out just as much 30 years later! ;D

[Villeneuve27]

@TheMuffin93 Nickelback soiled this great song???? Fuck those assholes, everyone knows they are Gay as AIDS.

[Neme778]

@TheMuffin93 wow i thought nickleback's version would be better - but then i watched this and saw your comment :D i totally agree to you

[ReDRuM868]

@TheMuffin93 Anyone who says Nickelback's version of ANYTHING is good needs their head examined.

[truesoxfan356]

whpever said he's a fuckin idiot can fuck himself

[vongoren]

where's this square?

[pianoplayinman]

lol its not a square....its central park in new york city.

[Ficas12]

your a fuckin idiot

[JeffReigns]

QFT

[ryanpeake93]

Well, I like it more too, but the orignal is always better then the cover.

[m86ichael]

only real glam star left!

[julianjosephnegron]

Elton was cute in 1980!!!!

[Miniermotte]

Yes he was indeed! But I also think he was cute in the 1970s...

But also in the early 80s... I like him, when he's a bit (!!!) chubby^^

[greeniem]

IS THAT THE SAME AS SAYING, " you like his chubby?" LMAO

[princev11]

his looks rly havent changed in 30 years

all it is is blonde hair and glasses now

ive seen him without his glasses on and he looks exactly the same just wrinkles.

haha

[jakethemusicman]

its cool to elton john kicking some ass

[doubleslottedflaps]

this was a WHO song originally, like this version better

[randyman228]

actually the who covered it, it was written by bernie taupin

[thekandyman524]

it always sounds like hes saying 'Sodomy' instead of 'Saturday' haha

i still love the song

[Dr77Funkenstein]

Great outfit...Damn wish I lived during the 70s music was so damn good and so were the concerts

[Killerbohemianliar]

Woah! This is the first time i've seen a live clip of Elton! He's Great! Love this thanks for sharing!

[JJ2555]

wonder why he doesnt let the audience do the "saturday nights alright" anymore...

[HarvestMoon713]

I was there, thanks for posting, Elton rocks the piano.

[WhisperLady023]

I have read that he was under influence! But this is so good! Love Elton 4ever :)

[LordHion]

This is great. I want to get the whole show on DVD.

I like that funny dance he does.

[djbernie521]

Many thanks to you and the others who posted the Central Park concert on YouTube. I first saw this performance on HBO in 1982 and it ranks as one of my favorite EJ shows of all time. Job well done.

[chelseaboy2005]

rockin performance!
