Fantastic live performance! BTEC Music Critical comment sound levals on the drums weren't great, the lead guitar was too quiet... but on the whole the best live recording of this song I've ever heared. He's got the energy, he's got the voice and he still young and fresh
@JMV1777 I personally cannot see anything on Elton's face here that suggest he is taking drugs. Although it is well known he was doing so at the time. In fact, I think he looks quite freshful, youthful and certainly very energetic! It was a indeed a great performance of "I'm Still Standing". In contrast, the 2010 Elton looks worryingly like the 1977 Elvis-bloated and old. He's supposed to be clean now, but I wonder if something is wrong and he's taking medication for some ailment.
I want whatever blow he did a line from!

Considering how sped up the song is, he was most likely coked up.

Jesus you can see on Eltons face the toll the drugs were taking. sheesh.
Still a great rendition of the song though.
You know an artist is good when they sing great when heavily abusing drugs. A la, Elvis Presley, Elton John, and David Bowie. lol
