people always say nickelback is killing music but the stuff that isnt played on the radio is really hard kick ass rock n roll and elton likes them which means they cant be that bad
Any comment that begins with "Nickelback... made this song soooooo much better!" is automatically wrong. Sorry to burst your bubble there, buddy, but Nickelback is what is WRONG with modern music, and not the solution to anything, with the exception of driving terrorists to surrender to American soldiers with poor taste.
Saw this concert in Las Vegas. And yes, people from the audience really do go on stage during the song. You can't see it on the video, but several security officers are on the stage, and nobody gets close to him during the song or after. Notice how quick a departure he makes after the song.
The was the last song of his set before his encore during the 1974 tour. Thanksgiving Friday 1974 I saw him at Nassau Coliseum out on Long Island and as great as the concert was, this was the cherry on top of the sunday. Everyone lost their voices screaming Saturday for 10 minutes to Elton's encouragement from on top of the piano :-)
Elton's voice certainly isn't what it used to be but he covers it up so well you don't really notice. Actually, he's better now than he ever was before.
@SnoopingAsUsual : Actually he can and does sing in tune but he can't hit a certain range anymore. Age does that to a voice. That's why artists in later years sometime change the key and make minor modifications to avoid having to deal with those ranges.
ELTON ROCKS! His live shows are awesome! I've seen 3 in a years time. Rktman tour, F2F tour, & Red Piano. This video brings back memories for me because I got to go onstage like this and more than that, I got to get right up touching his piano! It was crazy! I'll never forget the excitement or energy! He was having a great time! I'll never forget that moment, it was a dream come true! And I'll never forget realizing that he was staring back at ME or when he smiled at me, I died! NONE BETTER!!
i watched an interview they did with him a few years ago and he used to play the piano in a pub and every saturday there would be fighting in it. thats what the song is based on
acabo de llegar de las vegas el show es de lo mejor vale la pena pagarlo eso si , solo se limita a el tiempo de el concierto ni un tema mas , pero... es elton jhon que se le puede decir !!
Isn't there something a bit odd about an elderly homosexual gentleman, who is a Knight of the British Empire, singing about fighting on a Saturday night, as though he were some sort of young tearaway? I could be wrong of course. I not claiming to be an expert in these matters.
Not really, the song was written 35 years ago, when he wasn't old, when he wasn't a knight and when he wasn't (apparently) a homosexual - not that his sexuality should matter anyway. He certainly rocks this song regardless...
I went to see Elton John at the MEN Arena on Sunday 21st December, his shows are truly amazing, this was the best show I went to, he is a wonderful entertainer!
That's so cool. The thing to this video is that at the live show in Vegas, the middle of the front row was allowed to come on stage during this song. No, that is not Tina Turner, it's a local Vegas drag queen that Elton is friends with. She was a fixture at his Vegas shows. She sometimes filled empty seats with locals (like me!). It was there on this night and luckily, I am one of the ones dancing on stage -- desperately trying to get as close as I can. I'm the tall slim guy(where's Waldo?)
I'm suprised they even let people get up there and dance...... but its so great I'm glad they do! You go Elton! He is having a great time thats what makes an amzaing concert I want to see his red piano show... some day I will!!!!!!!!
I saw this in vegas twice. Damn good show and the front row got up to dance on stage when he played this song. He teased us too, he started to play the intro of crocadile rock then stopped, then he did the intro to goodby yellow road then STOPED.
Why has a DVD never been released of Elton's 2005 Anniversary of Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy concerts in Boston and New York? I'm desperate to hear the songs from this album performed live from 2005. Desperate. Please upload it if any of you have it.
haha! ur a dick! nickleback r a good band and i even like them better than elton john but you really cannot beat the showman ship, passion and quality performance elton puts in to this song!! it is HIS song after all and he is THE BEST at it, so wise up and enjoy the musical genious that he is!! :)
Yeh, good question, how did you get on stage?! I've always been tempted to try and jump on the stage! I cant help the temptation! But Im sure id be booted out...! Aghh...

Nickelback did a cover of the song because of how great it is due to how popular ELTON JOHN made it.
So if you're going to call this version gay, you're calling your precious Nickelback gay for admiring it.
