Elton John - Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding (Vinyl Version, 1973)

[aahhhyess]

I recall waiting to hear this on the radio in the 70s and loving it, sounds just as good now!!!

[11211956]

This is and will always be my all time favorite song.The musical passages that are in this song puts it in the top 5 best rock songs of all time.

[HeartoftheDragonColo]

I don't mind the pops of the vinyl. Reminds me of my youth.

[martywhitevan]

love it!..thanks for posting.

Elton at his peak and this is one of the all time great albums!

[ploxioths]

So staticky...

[kerriesubritzky]

@ploxioths That's the sound of the 1970's.

[DAHENDO23]

Amazing even in 2011.

[morfamike]

This kicks ass! One of my favourite tracks of all time. It moves me everytime I hear it. Apparently, Elton composed it to be played at his funeral.

[TheTherese3]

I'm enjoying the thick sound of my youth,thank you.55 in a couple of weeks..I guess this is my gift.Thanks again.NO one dashboard drummed better than me!I shook the car.

[shakenbaken1493]

All that without the annoying tape hiss. I have no words.

[gtmodelt]

Love the trip down memory lane. Kudos to you. My favorite long song.

Have to admit, I thought this talk of vinyl superiority was all nostalgic myth, but listening to this just after a Cd or digital version ( or whatever), I concede this has a crisp presence like nothing else. Time to dust off my 500 old vinyls and 1974 Thorens turntable ( I still have it)!

[dizzaztergirl]

@orderkos I bought an album to MP3 converter at Radio Shack for $99. My records are all kinda trashed tho, WAY tooo much trying to manuever the needle manuallly! :) It's fun tho, going thru them & listening, I recall every skip (mostly)

[GordosMama1111]

if u type in kick ass on wikipedia these songs play

[bellboysekiu]

@BrandiAgainLuvsYa listen to In a gadda da vida by iron butterfly. the long version. its way longer than this.



[johnoliver1955]

oh my, wow, anybody have a turntable?

[MetalandHotRods]

@johnoliver1955 they're all over ebay & CL

[shambaby]

WOW, VINYL WAS COMPLETELY SUPERIOR TO CD, EVEN WITH POPS.

THIS IS ELTON THE WAY I REMEMBER HIM. THANKS!

[SaturnTrack]

@shambaby Yeah, records will always have that special sound that CDs can never match.

[Anselcat1952]

BTW. R.I.P. Diana

[Anselcat1952]

@CandusAnn Positively. One cannot be heard without the other. Just does not work. Together they are a masterpiece.

[TheAnnwhiz]

[PubliusDiamond]

Wow, this has come straight off vinyl. They took this off spotify :(

[TheWorldBroadcast]

@SaturnTrack it was linda sad listening to this song because when I was listening to this I was deleting all of my previous video work from my obselete Laptop.

So it was its funneral.
