Elton John-Little Jeannie-Central Park 1980

Elton John - Live In New York at Central Park, September 13 1980

"Elton John Goes Quackers" A free concert performed for 450,000 people in the park.
Released in 1981 as a cable-TV special (and home video).

I Read it was a concert promoting "green friendly" New York City, trying to save trees or plant more, there were shirts being passed out, people were on trees, people were hoping to see John Lennon which didn't happen (3 months before his untimely despair) even though Sir Elton sang Imagine at the show.

@sprintbass Thank heavens for youtube, I know they never release classic Elton John concerts, i love him today, better then ever but his past is undeniably unique as well/amazong either has bootlegs or VHS tapes, which who knows what quality there in.

[godwhyisthistaken]

@sprintbass I totally agree, i have many concerts on dvd, wheather elton john, nirvana, queen,, great picture and bonus material. Audio is fab, Usally I watch the best quality vids on youtube, yes these vids i have of this concert are pretty, "not good" lol but yeah ;] rocks. Elton John Band truely is awsome, always had a good line up, in 1980 Nigel was back on his line up which rocks, he has a different sound here, that big beat on the snare. Looks the same here from when he first played in 70!

lovely performances, the 1980 tour in Northern America was all wonderful.

I've got the little Jeannie's performances from Toronto (maple leaf gardens), Rhode Island, Baltimore and Oakland and of course Central Park!

@paydaycharlie the so called artists of today arent even in the same ballpark, shit their not even in the ballparks parking lot, its all flash and NO substinance, these players like elton honed their craft after YEARS of playing, not getting on American idiot and getting a record contract and thinking their the real deal, it makes me sick..

[wifesacouger]

@grumpypant man you aint a kidding, im 41 and I also thank god I was born and lived through the best musical time in history, and my kids who are 16 and 14 think the music of today cant hold a candle to this level of greatness, they like some of the stuff but I catch them listening to kansas, journey, elton john, boston and on and on, they know real music when they hear it....

[JustJeannie1000]

I think this song was written about me.....I was 16 when this song came out....best summer of my life!

[JBecks111]

Amazing.
