Elton John Captain & the Kid Interview Part 1 of 7

Here are Elton and Bernie talking about their new album "The Captain and the Kid" which is the sequel to the 1975 masterpeice "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy".

This album has some truely fantastic tracks ("Tinderbox" and "And The House Fell Down" especially) and I strongly recommend it.

If you are an Elton fan anyway then it is very nostalgic as there are faint echoes of old tracks hidden in the new songs.

If you are new to Elton then listen anyway as he sings of the ups and downs of his career and personal life from the very beginning to present day.

It is a great insight into the living legend that is Elton John.

PS Don't forget to check out the other six parts!!

this album - especially the title track - includes some of elton's best new melodies!

[Chazfem]

Title track is actually an old melody revamped...

[Katja416]

Wow. This has to be the best thing I've ever found on youtube, hands down. It's so in depth and they're so honest, it's just amazing. I have so much respect for Elton, that he can talk about the drug days and sing about them and just take it matter-of-factly. Thank you so much for posting this!

[Chazfem]

Oh c'mon Elton i think it's time you must release your Captain Fantastic concert you did in 1975 on video dvd.

[mod01311]

[thesongisover]

captain and the kid is the third great album in a row from Elton in my opinion

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

Captain Fantastic was great but the Captain and the Kid was awful. Not even one song that's good.
