A clip of Elton playing "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye in a Moscow hotel. From the video "To Russia with Elton".

If anyone wants me to remove this video due to my lack of rights, I'll do it right away.

He's definitely drunk lol.

This really is superb. Shame he didn't do more with Ray on drums and Clive Franks on bass

Elton's voice in this video is amazing!! I've never heard him sing like this before.

I reckon of all Elton's performances of this song, this is best version piano-wise. I'm not fond of his newly-developed style of singing that begun in 1979 as he pronounces things weird.

I know what Elton means about playing whilst people are eating. I once played 'Song For Guy' at my school and I think ever since, my head teacher at school appreciated my playing even more. One time, he pushed the piano towards the cafeteria at lunch, but I felt awkward about playing to people who were eating.
