Sixty Years On~ EJ cover by David Scott Crawford

[melodius64]

Great stuff, best cover I've heard, well done!!!!!!

[jedenzniewielu]

Elton John is a genius. Thanks to him, we can watch amazing performances of his songs, like this one for example ;)

[gummiplutt]

If there was anything that I was to be negative about in this video, it is that you should put a little bit more feeling in it, and slow it a bit... Otherwise, as perfect as it gets! ;D

David,

Excellent piano playing and singing

I didn't realize that there are so many big fans of Elton who love to play and sing his songs like I do!

Well.. TRYing is more like it :P You seen Elton opening his 60th birthday concert with 60 Years? Hope you have that DVD!!

[louvregroove]

Yes, the thing that did impress me about the 60th Birthday version was that it sort of a combination of the LP version, and the version he used to perform live (as heard on '11/17/70'). Thanks for the kind comments and for subscribing. And welcome to YouTube....

YEAH! I'm off to learn the guitar part and will play along with you too

[goldhat3]

This is one of my favorite EJ and BT songs. I learned the guitar part and enjoyed playing along with you.

[louvregroove]

Thanks for the comment and glad you subscribed!

Very Nicely done. I've been fortunate enought to see him in concert 6 times here in North Carolina. I would love for my young piano playing son to have that opportunity as well. I used to have Dee Murray's son in one of my classes about 10 years ago.

[louvregroove]

Thanks Petemoss. I love North Carolina by the way. Have spent a lot of time in the Asheville area. I have videos on my trip to Vegas a year ago, and hanging out with Davey Johnstone before the Red Piano show. I hope you will subscribe to my channel. Best wishes!

amazing version!

[louvregroove]

Thanks Sarah. What do you say we subscribe to e/o's channels? Love your clear resonant voice!

[gail1964]

Superb, wow - thank goodness for YouTube, I am in the UK, so not too likely to stumble on your piano bar.

[bluessinger15]

Awesome job!! I perform this song live myself and just love all the versions I have encountered!

[louvregroove]

Thanks for the comment. Would like to hear your version sometime. I'd like to invite you to subscribe to my channel for future posts.

[bluessinger15]

I am hoping to figure out how to upload my video onto this site. I am very new to this and still learning.

[78special]

Sounds great, well done. Isn't that a great song to play, it just lends itself to heaps of emotions. A perfect song to improvise to. I noticed you played it in Am rather than Bm, I assume for the vocals ?

[louvregroove]

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I transposed down to Am, although I have played it in Bm before. Am is a bit more in my vocal range. My goal is to work my way thorugh EJ's album 1970-1975 and picj the rare songs I like and post them. I just posted 'First Episode at Hienton' and 'Madman' today...
