  • O

    i dedicate this song to my son Blake Yeoman

  • i totally dig that shirt

  • An alle lieben Deutschen!

    Dieses Lied kenne ich seit über 30 Jahren. Ich mag Elton John nicht besonders, aber dieses Lied hat mein Leben begleitet. Ich war damals süße 16 Jahre alt als ich es das erste Mal hörte. Es war die Singele-Schallplatte meiner Mutter!!!

    Seit 30 Jahren habe ich sie in meinem Besitz.

  • Levon wears his war wound like a crown he calls his child Jesus cause he likes the name and sent him to the finest school in town levon likes his money makes a lot they say spends his days counting in the carraige by the motor he was born a pope to a pawn on Christmas day when the new York times said god is dead and the wars begun Alvin Tostig has a son today and he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man and he shall be levon he shall be levon!

  • The definition of "perfection."

  • Look, Elton & Bernie are equally important. Bernie writes great words & Elton brings them to life with great music. It's a simple as that. Please , let's not complicate it anymore than it is.

  • Great video. A lesson for bass players on how to play with a pianist who covers all the bases so to speak. Amazing.

  • I actually like this version better than the studio (if that's even possible...). Especially the intro. Something about it is more passionate.

  • The Elton/Bernie debate can be solved easily: Without Elton, Bernie's lyrics would just be scribbled lyrics that don't mean much, and without Bernie, Elton would be an instrumental artist. But if you've ever heard Funeral for a Friend, you'll know that Elton can hold your attention for a good long while without words from Bernie. He takes Bernie's lyrics and sets them free. Elton is the magic, Bernie is the spell.

  • @sivishankari that works :)

  • @sivishankari but basically you give them both credit for the music over the years. but bernie's lyrics on "rocket man" are too friggin stupid to give him any complimentary words for that song. "all the science i dont understand. its just my job five days a week." c'mon, what was elton john smoking the day he signed off on those lyrics, and willlingly used them for a song. in america, over the past fifty years we've gone from the moon missions, to the space shuttle missions.

  • @sivishankari

    amen

  • @sivishankari Fantastic observation. & True!

  • @sivishankari Thanks Great way to explain it! Perfect! Love ELTON~! THE One , knowing they are a Team..tells a great Story that has lasted decades now! 

  • idk, but I am diggin' the double kick drum(s)

  • i really like the studio version! it sounds more wilder and passionate!!

  • He was born a pauper to a pawn. 8th wonder of the world, Elton & Bernie

  • HE SHALL BE LEVON!

    xoxo elton & levon

  • Why do all these old Elton John live videos almost completely disregard Dee Murray? The guy was a phenomenal bassist who deserved at least SOME screen time, and I don't mean a side shot with where he little more than a shadow.

  • Great!!!!

  • @1988WHISKY I actually think in this performance the bass dominates. All three - brilliant musicians.

  • @Satchelabc123

    The band is perfect!!

  • What an excellent entertainer!

  • The geezer can knock out tune asleep

  • this time started the best era ever for music..EVER...the 70s,they'll neverrrr be another time like it.

  • way to go elton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • @danbrockway1 "The general public, are ignorant and meddlesome outsiders who must be put in their place. They are to be spectators of action not participants who must be regimented to abandon any ideas about controlling their own lives. Their task is to develop a philosophy of futility and to follow orders while focusing their attention on more superficial things which comprise much of fashionable consumption."

    ~ Walter Lippmann (Pioneer of Propaganda) (1922)

  • @danbrockway1 Michael tsarion is the qworlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Leo Zagami, Jordan Maxwell and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well. p.s. Melting Euphoria is similar to Ozric Tentacles and Gong.

  • He sounds so young.

  • How good was he back in the day!

    Brought untold joy to millions including a little 13 year old boy from Barking , Essex, UK in 1975, who carries Elton's music with him both on i-Pods & in his heart - Elton - A gift from the Gods!

  • Elton was especially brilliant in the early years... This song just makes it undisputable.

  • best song ever!!!!!!!

  • @AndrewsJeb MICHAEL TSARION IS THE WORLDS PREMIER CONSPIRACY RESEARCHER/LECTURER/AUTHOR. DR. BILL DEAGLE, LEO ZAGAMI, JORDAN MAXWELL AND ALEXANDRE DUMAS PERE ARE HIGHLY INFORMATIVE AS WELL. P.S. MELTING EUPHORIA IS SIMILAR TO OZRIC TENTACLES AND GONG.

  • love elton john back then. he was awesome! beautiful songs!!

  • I heard he named this song after Levon Helm of The Band!!! Great Talent

  • Elton's son middle name is Levon because he was born on Christmas day.

  • The awesome thing is that he sounds EXACTLY like he did on the album. YOu don't see that much anymore.

  • I love you Remma

    Always

  • goin 2 see em 3/12 DCU CTR. Worcester, Ma

  • Tiny Dancer

  • Soz that's tiny dancer I had played at my wedding.

  • I love this song, mad man across the water one his best ever albums fond memories on my teens, and I was a teen in the early nineties, I got the album from my Dad.ni had ti y dancer played at my wedding.

  • why on earth dont they (whoever owns this) release the full thing onDVD?

  • The most-est brilliant-est....long ago they had Mozart...today we have Elton..just G*dd*mn genius..thank "tha lawd" for the Elton I have found...LOL

  • @katelibby88

    doesn't Bernie Taupin deserve a little credit too?

  • @chipmcdoodle  Elton John/Bernie Taupin are as common a duo as Lennon/Mccartney...my yipping fan outburst was towards the performer in the video...but you are correct when it comes to the song compositions...correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they refer to themselves as "two rooms"?

  • @chipmcdoodle no, fuck him j/k

  • @chipmcdoodle Alexandre Dumas pere wrote over 400 historical novels exposing world tyranny(Roman Catholic Empire). Alexandre Dumas pere was born near paris in 1802 and 'coincidentally' in 1902 The Society of Gesu(Jesuits) were expelled from France for the 3rd and last time. The Society of Jesus(Jesuits) have been expelled from 83 countries and their pope is ARAMIS AND HE IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO(GENERAL OF THE JESUITS).

  • @chipmcdoodle You are soo right about Bernie! I was just thinking about that not 5 minutes ago. Bernie was awesome. I actually had an album of Bernies with some great stuff on it entitled "Bernie Taupin". In good condition like the one I owned they can sell up to $80.00. Bernie wrote the song "Levon". I can't remember the names of my favorites on that album, but they were almost all great songs. He wrote alot of our favorite Elton hits! Heres to you Bernie! You are not forgotten!

  • @chipmcdoodle Not really, the lyrics are not that important

  • @hat6036 You're kidding, right?

    

  • @teladan5 No. Obviously Bernie does not deserve as much credit as Elton. I'm never like "I wanna listen to Tumblweed Connection so I can listen to the lyrics" I do it for the music. Lyrics add a little bit to every song, but Elton could have been just as good without Bernie.

  • @katelibby88 YOU PUT IT PERFECT!!

  • Yes finally back!! The best version!!!! Thanks you so much

  • Yeah, same for me ... THANKS for putting this back up !!!! I was sorry to have lost it from my playlist !!!! cheers, gg

  • @ggforeigner Alexandre Dumas pere wrote over 400 historical novels exposing world tyranny(Roman Catholic Empire). Melting Euphoria is similar to Ozric Tentacles and Gong

  • Good to see this back on. There already was a vid of this online a while back, but that got removed (for whatever reason).

    Nice performance of the young elton!
