7. Someone Saved My Life Tonight (Elton John-Live In Saratoga: 7/25/1982)

[jnoble12]

what always made me laugh was how out of tune Dee and Davey's back up vocals often were in these shows. Not all the time of course, but often enough to be very noticable

[GregsynthWizard]

I guess every venue is different! haha

[jnoble12]

interesting phasing effects on his vocals and the bass guitar towards the end

[GregsynthWizard]

I like them!

i just saw him in Saratoga a few nights ago (9/3/11) and he mentioned a number of times how he hadnt played there since 1971. guess he forgot. haha. its so incredibly random to come across this vid after seeing him a toga a few days ago. kinda glad i did.

[GregsynthWizard]

Haha! Gotta love these older concerts!

I like this version as well but it feels kinda fast compared to some of the others.

[GregsynthWizard]

Elton John + White Powder = Fast!!!

It does seem a little faster than he usually plays it!

[jnoble12]

@razorface31 everything from this tour was played too fast, most likely because he was snorting cocaine before coming on stage. You can even see in the live footage from this show he's got the "coke sweats"

[GregsynthWizard]

Yeah, the tempos were often flying (especially in the later North American shows-onward)!

[L10Johnathan]

awesome version with amazing backing vocals!

[GregsynthWizard]

There's too many awesome versions!
