Elton John - Bennie and the Jets (Live in Sydney, Australia 1984) HD

You could immediately hear when the crowd "got it". It's amazing how a single chord could so represent a single song.

Now on the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour he plays the 1st chord of the song 4 or 5 times.

I love how you can see the shadows of the band members coming on stage as Elton finishes the solo. at 9:12 you can see Davey in his baggy pants coming in from right. Nigel was probably just sitting at his drum kit the entire time enjoying the show, Fred Mandel doing the same at his station, and then Elton starts yelling for Dee to come back on stage, and just as the lights come on you see him sprint in from behind the piano. God, what a show.

It feels weird to picture Elton with no glasses I LOVE THIS GUY🎸🎸🎸

[@nonnamadonna]

He looks fantastic without glasses & with them too.

Came to find the incredible piano solo I remember so well and I wasn’t disappointed.

[@patepulkkinenvtec2403]

Drug faces all but incommon in Elton concerts in those days.

[@emvilegaspi3811]

What are they using for this part of Bennie and the jets At 8:59?

[@Mattsports209]

Some kind of looper

[@robertlakay88]

Is this the version from the Two Rooms documentary? Love the keyboard synthesizer!

More than likely Elton can't remember this show as he said he doesn't remember much of the 80's.
