Elton John - 1984 Solo Concert

[@jamesrogala]

Really rare for EJ to be playing solo in the 80s, especially tracks like Sad Songs and I'm Still Standing. Fascinating show.

[@jamesrogala]

It's interesting how young and expressive his voice still is when he's not shouting over the band - as is the case with many of the mid-80s shows.

[@jaggass]

This was done during a break between touring so explains why he sounds good.

[@larryandheather]

I've had the privilege of seeing Elton multiple times and the man puts on a phenomenal show, but I do wish I could have seen him in the 70s and early 80s. This concert is a real treat.... I think my favorite concerts of his are his solo performances. His musicianship comes through so loud and clear in these types of shows. A big thanks to the party responsible for uploading this gem!

I love EJ so dearly❤ Love him solo.

[@richardyang6667]

The vocal in I'm Still Standing was almost similar to the studio version. Perfect!

[@gaminglegend]

He messed up some of the lyrics though

[@Bere-me6wb]

Mi canción favorita

[@FGM95]

In my opinion, even though he messed up some lyrics, the only version where he sounds like on the studio version indeed

[@jaggass]

To me it's even better because he sounds even younger. His voice very similar to the late 70's.

[@levanishamatava3650]

love love love elton john

[@jaggass]

He sounds really good because this during a break from touring.

[@jamesaccardo9313]

Song For Guy ! I learned how to play this and Your song how Elton did it in Barcelona ! then I forgot it ! love Elton so amazing !

[@ruralrob228]

me too ;)

[@sergiobravo552]

Perfecto. Elton John. Unico. The one

[@richardyang6667]

It's very rare to see that he was far away from mic when he was singing. He must be very relaxed.

[@larryandheather]

Those people didn’t know how good they had it. Elton followed by the Chairman of the Board. Damn, that is quite a lineup.

[@tahsinbensel5584]

What a pleasant surprise .. That’s exactly how I like(d) him do his masterpieces .. The way he sounds during his farewell tour is heartbreaking...

Cool! Thanks for uploading ;)

[@jamesb8305]

I steal salmon, yeah yeah yeah!

[@larryandheather]

I just noticed at 22:10 he botched that line.... LOL Even the great Elton John is human after all.

[@loman83509]

When I’m performing this song I’ll do that because I still think it sounds good 😂

[@mbvbv5649]

20:48

[@tylerbounds8918]

What was he adjusting at 14:16? I’m assuming this piano is the same Hamburg Model D used in 79 era shows with the Helpinstill pick ups. Adjusting that maybe?

[@brandonsvlog8533]

He was pulling his stool out from where he pushed it back

Hollie Jo Wheeler, I was 5! wanting to go!

[@AbbieOates]

Has this performance been officially released?

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

no and it never will be..enjoy it here,

[@enta2]

all videos are recorded in such poor quality. I saw the recordings from 1900 in better quality. I discovered Elton john after Rocketman movie. And I see you people never really loved him.

[@vap3669]

💀 high tech cameras were fucking expensive back then

[@enta2]

@@vap3669 Back then the cameras were better and he should only buy one (instead of a football team) and film everything. Then save and publish today 🥴

[@vap3669]

​@@enta2 shut up you retard he didnt care about buying cameras for people like you who whine about some video from 40 years ago being low quality 😢 it probably was recorded on a higher quality video then the quality was lowered after different generations of tapes were made from it. before you make dumbass statements like this take a second to think about how it works and educate yourself instead of saying "you people never really loved him" neither do you, you became a fan in like 2019 whereas these people who "never really loved him" have probably been fans for twice the amount of years youve unfortunately existed.

[@enta2]

@@vap3669 I don't blame him for not making the recordings for me but you who swear that Elton john was the soundtrack of his life and who was never interested in his live performers or with his music but are just the don't go breaking my fans and crocodile rock fans, and fans of his falsetto. You are talent show fans. go sing some karaoke by Maraya Carey and then shut up🥴

[@vap3669]

@@enta2 ​i dont know what else to tell you, the fact its low quality does not mean people hate the fuck out of elton john, it simply means its not an official release random people dont have high quality footage, only elton and his team do and they will never officially release this the original copy of this video is probably higher quality but this isnt the original copy like i said! it has nothing to do with people hating elton. youre trying to call me a fake fan which is funny as well you are acting like some extreme fan when you became a fan of elton because of some movie from 2019

[@buddysteve5543]

That piano sounds horrible! This is like the worst I've heard from Elton!

[@jordan6988]

BuddySteve im sure it wasent the piano itself. He was using midi by this time so it was tuned however the tech did it I like his 1979 Russia Tour sound and 1986 Melbourne

[@powerstroker0622]

Elton's white steinway was the one that midi'd all to fuck. The black one is the way a concert grand sounds by default.

[@jordan6988]

Matt Yolo gotcha. I thought some what. 79 is my fav sound hes had live. Sounded great

[@moonstonesofficial]

+Jordan completely agree! 79 his voice was without doubt at its best.

[@jordan6988]

@@powerstroker0622 watching this video again Matt and curious do you know what midi sounds he was using in 86 on the white steinway? I have a midi keyboard and all the samples and vsts and good shit. Was curious if i could achieve the 86 sound just need to know what he was using lol
