@EJinthe70s he also had an operation to remove nodules in his throat which made him lose his falsetto and high range
-
Like ( jum1801 ) i have been listening to Elton John since he scene in the 70's and this is a good version of this song but like pianoplayinman said the 18 minute version from 11 - 17 - 70 is pure talent. I will only say i live in the city that has
The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and since Elton John has been comming here i
have not missed a show. The man is Brillant.

fuck off
-
'O Happy Day'

I agree, this is a brilliant version of this own song
-
The best version of the song as a whole I reckon. Great encore.
I don't like his attempts at country voice, this concert avoids it :).
-
isn't there supposed to be footage of this concert somewhere? i am aware of the 1972 concert with the royal philharmonic and have seen it, but i'm sure the 1971 one was also filmed
-
One of the best Version's of this Song I have ever heard. But it still doens't compare to the version on the album 11-17-70. that one was 18 minutes of pure talent.

true everyones voice declines over time. but not that much. if you will listen to some of steve wonders stuff. up untill a few years ago he sounded just like he did 30 years ago.

I suspect I've been listening to EJ a few decades longer than you. I was there when he hit the scene in 1970 like a whirlwind. The loss of some of his once- incredibly accurate and powerful high range isn't all his fault (although his coke binging hurt it badly), but he also had tremendous energy, stamina and discipline - and he wasted those.
What I object to is that for decades he has preferred instead to self-indulgently play the Raging Queen Does Cabaret. What a waste.
