Did he say that Leon sings the first verse, Neil sings the second verse, and Elton himself sings the third verse?

Brilliant song.

Placed in the setlist next to classics like Better Off Dead, Levon and Indian Sunset, you do not notice is a new song but you may think it's something coming off the Tumbleweed Connection or Madman Across the Water album.

I'm so much looking forward to The Union, an album that with T Bone Burnett onboard promises to be Elton's best in years and years.

@EltonJohnGigs This amazing song is called 'Gone To Shiloh'

[MedievalMind]

"and the stunned surprise in the eyes of dying men" this is such a haunting line. This is an incredible album.

[Reggie71]

amazing, fantastic... elton and ray superb!

@mizofan Yes; it is a good word for this, isn't it? I'm still delighting over the subtle complexities of this album. My downstairs neighbor may be getting sick of listening to it! :)

[mizofan]

@momominnosh I'm glad you think it's fabulous too. I have seen loads of superlatives from the critics, - special, sensational, wonderful, wondrous, a triumph, terrific, tremendous, truly great, album of 2010 etc-, but "fabulous" can be added.

[momominnosh]

Yes!!!!! I knew that was Neil Young! I just got this, and this is a fabulous album! And I said it would be Album of the Year, on my Facebook page, two weeks ago! But I doubt mizofan is quoting me!

[mizofan]

Another review i've read today calls The Union the best album of the year, a landmark.

[2BeHonestNow]

I really dont understand. How it is possible to make such wonderful music???

I didnt thought it was possible!

[mizofan]

@eltonjohncoverz Elton composed most of the songs on the album, including a couple jointly with Leon, who also wrote 4 without Elton (one with Taupin lyrics)..i think that's right if memory serves. It was a mix. Anyway, it's clearly a superb album, i'd say a musical marriage made in heaven

[mizofan]

@oursonariege So far critical reaction to the album that i'm aware of has been very positive, let's hope it stays that way and The Union stands up to expectations.
