I saw some requests for Central Park 1980: Now, I shall upload it! To date, this is the best quality, and the most complete version of the concert to exist! Most of the Central Park videos have varing audio quality (from rough to good), but on this recording--we have superb audio quality on most of the songs! The audio is taken from the Japanese Laserdisc version of this concert (it's much more complete than the common VHS version). There are two songs that weren't featured on previous versions of this concert: "All The Young Girls Love Alice," and "Rocket Man" (both great versions). The quality on these songs are not as good as the other songs, but they are still decent enough. The set-list on this version of the concert is also different than some other versions (this opens up with "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting," while other set-lists and copies of the concert have "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" as the first song).
Elton and the band play a fantastic show overall: The atmosphere is great, and the band sound very tight throughout. Elton's voice is a bit rough in spots (either ill, or vocal overload), but it's still in good shape! He sings great versions of "Ego," "Philadelphia Freedom," and "Bite Your Lip (Get Up And Dance)!"
ENJOY!!!
Note: If you see the videos of the concert, Elton is very stoned!
Note 2: Elton changes the lyrics for fun during "Ego." He sings "Oh tell them POOFS sent me!"
Note 3: Although "All The Young Girls Love Alice" and "Rocket Man" weren't played at the end of the show, I'm keeping the set-list unaltered due to the careful editing at the ends of tracks!

Haha! I wish he still performed this more often! Least we got many great 1980 versions!

One of many favorite Elton tracks and unfortunately one he rarely performs live anymore...thanks for posting :) That keyboard intro instantly takes me back to the summer of 1980 and a more carefree and dare I say innocent time ;)

Yeah, it's really good! Seattle and Portland 1980 also have fantastic quality!
