This track is just as amazing as it was when it first came out. Brief flashes of Elton's earlier voice range I picked up after the first musical interlude. This is a remembrance of how dominant Elton was in the 70's...the consumate performerthrough it all!

wtf ... elton dived in the jazz end of the pool , cool.

needs vintage drums. those toms sound goofy. needs the drums like what are in the live videos from '71

[princev11]

elton john can continue singing and playing for probably 10-20 more years.

hell never lose his magic :D

[jameswp266]

if he lost some weight im sure his voice would improve. It would help his breathing greatly

[princev11]

to be honest, i like the way he looks now

he looks good a lil chubby =) lol

[jameswp266]

Yes but sadly his voice suffers from the extra burden on his breathing.... :S!

[gobton]

are you serious???? this man was far fatter than this in 1989/90. He is healthier now than he ever was and his singing was very similar in 2001 to what it is now. The guy does like 100 shows every year still and is constantly travellign round the world, would like to see you do the same

[elton14jp]

i dont think hes better than 1989/1990

his voice is getting weaker year by year

but it cant be helped

[jgh548]

His voice has really gone now - he is using a range of only 4 or 5 notes for this performance. Contrast this version with his original recording or even the 1986 Australia concert where his voice was playing up. Shame.

However, his stage presence and piano playing are as superb as ever.

you have to understand that Elton John is not as young as he was and to be honest his voice is as mellow as ever. there is a massive difference between age - 1986 is a long time ago. people change and for Elton's sake he really is amazing! would like to see you sing like he does in your sixties - bet you can't!!

[elton14jp]

i think igh548 knows that

[jameswp266]

That's true, his voice has gone in the last four years, he was very resonant and deep in 2004, but now to be honest his voice has lost a lot of its magic. I think he will quit soon. However, i'm still seeing him in the summer!!

[jgh548]

That's my point - the roughness in his voice has taken away what little magic was left. To me though, his best voice was that pre-surgery, although he could still sing well for years afterwards.

[jameswp266]

do you think he knows it? Somehow i can't see him quitting, he obviously does it for the thrill

[jameswp266]

btw, was playing the music today. The range is considerably more than 5 notes!

[janademetrius]
