@flobtheblob Last 50 years? I beg, gently, to differ. This goes in the time capsule with most of his recordings. 200 years from now, I want them to consider this.

I love that he's just casually sitting there.

@LolasTubular I'm sorry I can only give your comment a "thumbs up" once. If I could do multiples, I would. I am often struck by just how young Paul Buckmaster was when he did these orchestrations. When the Beatles joined EMI, they came under the guidance of George Martin who seemed like a father figure to them. By contrast, Elton was working with people of about his own age.

one of the most brilliant artists of the past 50 years...even today, when his voice should be gone and his talent should have faded, he's still going at it and performing brilliantly (albeit with a slightly changed voice). it's neat to listen to this performance and then watch the one from his 60th birthday.....truly amazing and unique to him alone.

I always liked how Elton used 50 piece orchestras on his recordings during this period. Although he doesn't do it that much now, he definitely had a deep influence of clasical music in a lot of his songs....
