Elton John - Country Comfort (Live A&R Studios New York City 11-17-70 audio only)

i love that he performed a Rod Stewart track. Rod and him used to play together in Long John Baldry's band, so they were friends. Baldry also used to swap records with a guy named Paul McCartney from up north.

Thanks for posting this vid :)

@musicguy1987 Um ... Country Comfort is an Elton John tune. Rod Stewart's version is a cover.

@bryandevasher sorry, that was a typo, i was thinking something else and typing something different. But yes, you're right, it's a Elton John track.

What a treat to hear all six "missing" tracks on the 40th anniversary! This track and Border Song should have made the cut. Maybe they'll release the whole concert for the 50th. Thanks for posting these tracks!

40 years. Wow. Some of the greatest pop music of the '70s.

I too commemorate this day by wearing my 11-17-70 t-shirt (that I made from the album cover) and playing the ALBUM. I loved EJ when he was writing some of the most beautiful music on this planet. I wish he would start again!

Since I was about 10 years old (1976), I always refer to November 17th as Elton John day in commemoration of this amazing concert. Almost every November 17th, I sit down and listen to the album all the way through. This year, 40 years after the event took place, I'm actually going to hear (for the first time) the whole concert in its entirety!!

Thank you to the poster of these audio clips!

11/17/70 was just a PHENOMENAL recording.

It's great to hear these outtakes.
