How AMAZING! elton john is a true living legend, thanks for posting these 2 great performances so we all could enjoy, a must for all true elton fans, Rock On!!!
That is a pretty good band, With a little luck and practice they might make it to IDOL one day. The singer needs a voice coach but his piano skills are impressive. I give them three and a half stars.
please tell me your kidding. you dont know who this is? this talent record to live its all the same, no voice enhancements lip syncing this is real, this is elton john, a legend, you my friend, FAIL
I agree. Awesome live performance of a very difficult song. Elton was in a zone in the early years! This song was still unreleased at this point. Legendary stuff. Thanks for posting!
This is one of the best live performances of Rocket Man I've seen. It was Elton's new single at the time. Usually he doesn't make much of an attempt to hit the high notes in this song (even when he could still hit them) but he does ok here. He hits the first one dead on, and mostly hits the other two, though it's still not as good as the studio recording.

If you want to hear Rocket Man on its own, go to 5:08.

Elton's new album The Union, with Leon Russell, is brilliant, best since mid 70s
