I love this man. He can write and sing any song. Over 40 years he has perservered and is still around. He makes me laugh,cry brings sadness, joy, happiness. There is only one of him, you will never see a guy with this quality again. He is special and i have and always been a fan. Thank you Reg. Cheers.
Wonderful! This gig was very special because of it was the first gig Elton did after his throat surgery in Sydney after the Tour de Force tour. Well done Elton!
Apprécié depuis toujours et applaudi lors d'un concert dans un jardin fleuri à Montauban, petite cité du Sud-Ouest de la France ! Que de jolis souvenirs me rattachent à ce chanteur ! Merci pour le partage.
@wiehow why do you have to be vulgar.Didn't anyone teach you manners? Let me guess your under30 and come from the ghetto or at least walk around pretending your from thr gheto
It's a completely travesty that this man's not in the top 10 on any of the prestigious magazine Top Vocalist lists. I think Rolling Stone had him ranked like 82 or something. I'm hard-pressed to think of 2 or 3 better vocalists, let alone 81. Fuck that. Elton is the man. And we all know it <3 lol
@weirdguy75 lol his hair was blonde for a bit in those days. The good ole experiment days. I'm not sure, but I think this was around the same time he has his hair plugs installed. It was weird for me to see him with blonde hair, too, so don't worry lol.
@italianfl I must say that I envy you a bit. How wonderful it must be if you could follow his career that long!!! But 15 years is better than nothing :)
@islisboys Yes it is better then nothing, and im glad you and other people can appeciate this wonderful good hearted musician that does so many wonderful this for people, not just write great music. Although this song was not his he did a fantastic job , made my eyes tear thinking about the one I love.
@italianfl Oh, I could not agree with you more! Sir Elton is a man with heart of solid gold. So what else you can do but love him? I must tell you that Elton is also my english teacher :)
I watched this live and still have it on Video the whole concert! This was right after his throat operation!If he hadn't done all that coke he might still have his high falsetto! I miss it!
what's with the hair? is it white or did he dye it white. And yes he did mess up at the end, but still a great performance, never seen elton mess up before...
when he messed up I thought he was going to cry... Nobody beats themselves up Like Elton does when he RARELY makes a mistake... he is REAL hard on him self u can tell.. Still Awesome.. and Elton John is STILL one of musics biggest icons...
This is from the International AIDS Benefit Concert, not the Prince's Trust. This is also the first time he sang in public following his throat surgery.
siempre me ha encantado Elton habiendo escuchado el original de la canción por carole king o la marav illosa versión de Amy Winehouse, esta cancion no está hecha para el
We all been there. Being at a party and falling in love. However the morning sun shined a different light. I hope my 3 children go through these crazy things in life. Becouse i always thought my life wasn't perfect.. However, I'm half way though it. and now i wouldn't change a thing. It's been perfect at least for me.
John Lennon said: "It was scary as a child, because there was nobody to relate to. Neither my auntie nor my friends nor anybody could ever see what I did. It was very, very scary and the only contact I had was reading about Oscar Wilde or a Dylan Thomas or a Vincent van Gogh—all those books that my auntie had that talked about their suffering because of their visions. Because of what they saw, they were tortured by society for trying to express what they were. I saw loneliness."
Back in September i was able to see elton in the front row. It was so incredible I cant even begin to explain it. Many people complain about his voice now, and i admit its not what it used to be, but in some ways its stronger. I dont think a song like This Train Dont Stop There Anymore could be sung by young ej. This song is a great example of it with his "new voice." Great Job Elton, keep on singing
In my heart ~ and ears ~ Elton John sang perfectly at "1:56 AND 2:32" ... just sayin' ... Many Blessings ... And I agree, "who cares--he's EltonJohn!!!!!" YAY :)
he makes reference to it in tantrums and tiaras... mostly that he was still drinking and taking cocaine - just not healthy. he's always been an addict of a lot of things - food, drugs, alcohol, shopping...
Um..... if you hate him so much... why would you search him or listen to him on youtube? You are an idiot! ...and for the record....I think Elton has an awesome voice!
I love Elton! look at 2:30 in the clip...he stumbles a bit like he forgot the lyric for just a split second...then he gets a disappointed look on his face for just a split second. This is just one example of how Elton beats up on himself...it's his perfectionism. But this same thing...the fact that he's a perfectionist...is one of the main reasons he writes such beautiful music and sounds so great on anything and everything he sings....idk....i was just thinking about that...ELTON ROCKS!
I know right?! ...It's weird how things work out that way. What some doctors or therapists consider a disability or disorder, is also at the same time, an ability :)
I haven´t seen this one for ages, I have it on VCR. Love this song who ever does it but Elton John is the best singer/performer in the world so this is of course my favorite version!
I believe this is 1988 or even 1989. He mostly wore hats and dark rimmed round glasses during the Reg Strikes Back Tour. I would say this is closer to Sleeping With the Past. Regardless its FANTASTIC! Thanks for the post!
Are you sure this is not Princes Trust 1988 or some other concert from 1987? In the search box, put in Elton John Eric Clapton Trust 1987 to see what he looked like in that concert.
crack?? but I think it has nothing to do with his voice , maybe it was some pharma, never mind , but we all know why he has lost his voice EltonForever!!
No more falsetto for Elton. I went to a concert of his back in 1986 Los Angeles and before the music started we could see him sitting on his piano bench smoking something.
Actually, it's the Prince's Trust Concert at Wembley Arena in 1987. Australia and the throat surgery was 1986. Passionate version of the song though...has a lot to do with EJ's first vistit to meet Ryan White It can only be found on the CD "Brittle Bird"
Perhaps some don't know, but this is the first time Elton sang live after his throat surgery removing nodules from his vocal cords. He had said that he was terrified to find out how his voice would sound and he said he had trouble hitting his falsetto, as we all know now is bascially non-existent.
