The Captain and the Kid (Live 2006)

"The Captain & The Kid" album performed live in September 2006 at the Rose Theater in New York.

Here it is, the title track from the album. My personal favorite, I like to call it a "modern classic".

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!!

LOVE:

"But we stuck around for the battle

Waiting for a plan

To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy

And me into a rocket man

It pleases the people some of the time

Digging into our roots

But I got a brand new pair of shoes

And you're on a horse in old cowboy boots"

[bobdole9696]

Me too! I simply melted when I heard "Rocket Man" in there! Wow!

[Miniermotte]

I really love this song and the whole album. It's the perfect continuation of the "Captain Fantastic..." album!

I love all the references to older songs! And it's so great that "The Captain & The Kid" starts with the same intro as "Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy"

[bobdole9696]

My thoughts exactly. It's like the close of one chapter of Elton's music and the beginning of a new one.

[Arthur5041975]

He changed the lyrics a bit.

[bobdole9696]

It was the first time he performed the song live.

This is such a great song. It is one of my favorites off the album.

[aneltongirl]

@DesertFish27 oh man i know, i remember the first time i was listening to this and i heard that rocketman line, i just stopped, had to go back and listen like 3 times

[pepeorca]

so far this is one of the best elton john recording. he returns to basics. thanks God we still have him!

[jadem9987]

He's suppose to be going into the studio to record a new album in Feb 2010, so it'll probably be a fall release date. Can't wait!!

[Iruotnem]

is he having a new album?

[kathyloveselton]

How do you get such great rare video's. I love this CD but don't see that many video's of the songs in live shows. Can't wait for the new CD by the end of next year. LONG LIVE ELTON AND BERNIE!!!
