I saw him perform this in the 0h, 1976....Elton's voice back then , was, well GOD-like. Sang it in the same key as it is on the "Don't Shoot Me " C.D. He beat the crap out of the piano during this song, I was sitting fairly close to the stage and just stared in amazement at his musical ability.... awesome.
What a fantastic song, makes me so sad. How could so much musical talent come from such a small island? There's another video of this song with Marc photos, IT really makes me EVEN sadder. Elton was alway a huge favorite of mine and I'm going through his work In the U.S. only "radio" hits were played. I don't even remember this song, forget T. Rex except for a few singles. "Back then" I was 14, and now, at 46 and knowing the back ground story to the song, it brings tears to my eyes.
what about the small island? its not a bad thing to be british... :-D i'm 14 at the moment and i really want to know what i think about this song at 46.
Just woke up and read your post - I think you need to re-read my 1st comment - it is far from a slam to/on "the small island" (!) and the "46" y.o. thing is, that I had heard this song on the album (from the public library) surely, but did not know this was about an actual person,.... so it was heard and that was that.
those are wicked pics.
