#20 - Levon - Elton John - Live SOLO in New York 1999

[@colbybelk]

Absolutely crazy about the solo and his spirited vocal ad libs. Sounds like he was feeling that night.

[@ActionMediaProductions]

I was there...had seats behind the stage that I thought was going to be awful, but they were the closest I ever got to him in all my concerts...

Elton's piano is doing the synths

[@1091Floyd21]

How does he get it to do that? I'd like to know more about that kind of thing?

[@BenjiDarius]

@@1091Floyd21 From what I know, his piano has a keyboard mounted to it, so basically while it looks like he's playing a regular piano, he's actually playing a special one that can change voices and add stuff to it (like the synth/violins in this song, or the ep sound in Blue Eyes). And also my guess as to how he can have the synths is that someone in the back is flipping switches making certain sounds, either that or Elton is the one flipping switches (like secret codes on pedals which would trigger different sounds)

[@BenjiDarius]

@Bruh Very true. But isn't that basically how midi works?

[@BenjiDarius]

@Bruh Lmao, I basically described how the Midi worked

[@angelomgcpb]

It’s a piano effect, the disklaiver is an amazing piano

[@tjwolfg]

This is glorious! But who's playing the synths?! We don't need them. ELTON SOUNDS AMAZING! Still, EXACTLY what I was looking for.
