  • He asked for more echo! This was the first concert he did after throat surgery!

  • Elton John for President... of music!!!

  • yea.,I asked myself that same ?lol

  • Amazing!!! Great!!! the best one ever heard!!!

  • 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.

  • @Grondiron I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Grondiron I could not agree with you more.

  • Never sang a bad song .. Love you Elton!

  • At times I feel like giving Elton John enunciation lessons, but his emotional depth is nothing short of brilliant.

  • What's he say to someone at 00:18/19? And what does he mean at the end? Will You still Love me to Marrow?

  • @waldenhouse He is asking for more echo on his voice! read what I posted above!

  • @Bodebodango I was offline for a few weeks...thanks so much for the clarification, it is appreciated :)

  • What's he say to someone at 00:18/19?

  • @waldenhouse It looks like he is mouthing "I know" to someone :)

  • @WildAngelJoy More Echo!

  • 2:28 that part always melts me. There will only ever be one Elton.

  • Elton at his pure, unadulterated best!

  • Love This Song and Elton did a great job

  • wow--1st time i heard eltons version---very well done.

  • beautifull......i lov uuuuuuuuu eltonnnnnnnnnn

  • no she wont, thanks jackass for what u did

  • 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.

  • Following you since 1990

  • @0ToReRo0 fuck you

  • @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

  • @MsAlone4now Its the internets. calm down. He said Gay fuck which is so ignorant.

  • 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

  • I must be blind because I can't quite tell if his hair is blonde or white:D How'd that happen?

  • @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.

  • wouldnt mind seeing Elton do some other covers...nice job as usual, Sir EJ

  • I like Elton, but, Better version of this song by The Shirelles

  • I Love this Song.

  • This took place just months after his what could have been career ending throat surgery!

  • Love Love Love Sir Elton John....today and tomorrow

  •  Wonderfull, out of series.

  • This video give a beautiful expression of heart.

  • One of my favourite live Elton performances. A true living legend!

  • Love, love love this version. Love you Elton!

  • Oh, yes I will! I`ve been loving your music nearly 15 years. Elton is the best!!!

  • @islisboys good man lovin him for 37 ys here

  • @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!

  • he's hair is also like that because he had just gotten hair injerts...that's why he started using hats until it grew propertly.

  • 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...

  • @0586730O2 he dyed it white apparently to symbolize his cocaine addiction..

  • omg so pretty song!!!!

  • 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...

  • Elton and just his piano...the perfect combination...nothing else required...

  • My friend asked me to transcribe this for him

  • i simoly love this song

  • 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.

  • I love this song and I love Elton's version.  He still looks young and handsome and this performance is very romantic.

  • Sorry, but its not!

  • u are terrible!

  • why did he dye his hair? does anyone know?

  • because of his cocaine use

    thus its white he was rly screwed up back then

    but now 2009 he says hes happy as ever and is clean and he looks better then he ever did

  • Oh for God sake I doubt the cocaine use caused him to dye his hair white. This guy has had more hair colors/styles than most rockers.

  • y else would he do it and he said it in an interview

  • Elton has said a lot of things in interviews.

  • Absolutely stunning! One of my favourite Elton interpretations

  • 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.

  • Elton is Elton, read the books, not the crap ones, I will love elton forever, love Sals, listen!

  • de qui est la chanson originale ?

  • carole king

  • @ladylovesER Carole King

  • 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."

  • Epic post my friend

  • a kind of love between 'one-night stand' and long-term underground love. well, 'comrades' all loves those kind of relationship.

  • He looks so 80s. :-D Great cover; I'm adding this to my Elton playlist!

  • Elton JOhn Rocks put loud and always will

  • He is so unique, so special!!! He is the best ever :)

  • 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

  • WONDERFUL!!! ELTON NO. 1

  • All i can say is wow unbelievable! Elton is fantastic!

  • @thfunny15 I agree with you. I love Elton so much, he is a great man, great singer, great musician and now a great father

  • it would have been netter if elton wrote his own songs the songs he wrote were the best

  • the master sings it you will be always elthon

    ofcours what better or he is not elthon john anymore

  • ELTON JOHN baby.... made it all his own style. love it

  • This was his first and highly anticipated performance after his famous vocal surgery.

  • You took the words right out of my mouth

  • 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 looks great I Think!

  • Amazing glasses, and Elton is amazing, as always:)

    Grkppl1

  • what's up with his hair?

  • It was the 80's.

  • 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...

  • what?? this isn't a lie... his own words... don't rate things down that are true.. should take the good with the bad...

  • At 3:32 did he mess up? I can't tell. Omg I love him!

  • Maybe. It's hard to say given the clip ends at 3:17

  • I ment 2:32 smart ass.

  • He messed up at 1:56 AND 2:32, but who cares--he's EltonJohn!!!!!

  • Debbie Gibson wrote the lyrics? C'mon, this song was written 40 years ago by Carole King!

  • Debbie Gibson wrote the original lyrics to this song. Amy Winehouse sang this song as well. Its hard to get a good beat to go along with this song.

  • you might want to re-ck your sources on this,,,carole king actually co-wrote this song with gerry goffin.

  • You may want to check "Shirellers" a girl group from way back when

  • shirelles may have sung this, but carole king co-wrote it with gerry goffin.

  • I'll aways love you Elton!!!! You Rock!

  • Wow, his voice has changed ever since his throat surery he had that same year,

  • ELTON NO.1!!!

  • 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!

  • And you're a "patetic" douchebag.

  • Clearly a homophobe. What's the need for such abuse, ElliSun?

  • you´re jealous because he is better than you.

  • Check out Elton's version of Moon River...it's GREAT!

  • 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!

  • So very true and totally accurate!

  • 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 :)

  • sorry alex, ihc war heute nicht besonders gut gelaunt.

    ihc höre mir das lied immer an wenn ich an dihc denken muss.

    vermisse dich ganz dolle und freue mich schon riesig dihc wieder zu sehen

  • If you look carefully, does it look like he's wearing two pairs of glasses?? anyway, great version of this song, elton rocks!!!!!

  • Big thanks for this video!!!

  • 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 love Elton John!

  • You are so right. For me, this is the ONLY version.

  • it matters not if it was 87 or 88 or whatever, just close your eyes and listen to that wonderful voice..

    thanks rockermad for putting this on , I am a great Elton fan but have never heard him sing this..

  • Elton at his soulful best. Love it!

  • never seen this before - beautiful rendition! cool hair & sunglasses!

  • the one and only Elton John

  • thank you for this experiance :)

  • 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!

  • This was the International AIDS Benefit Concert, April 1987. His first show after his throat surgery.

  • 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.

  • Are you sure this is from 1987? I've seen While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the same concert and Elton has totally different hair.

  • God bless Carole King for all she has written.

  • do you really think he was smoking something??

    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.

  • fantastic!

  • 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.

  • I know he had trouble hitting his falsetto, but its not no-existent, but its deeper like the rest of his voice
