Elton John - Bennie and the Jets (solo)

[@southshoreduffer4831]

76k views is a crime. This is absolute genius at work. 99.9998% of the world will never hear him perform again. Literally, a masterclass in piano in front of a live audience, blowing them away more than they could ever have expected. Kudos.

[@ThePianoguy89]

What a pianist he is! Excellent solo!

[@mikemcf33]

wow that was off the charts. so immensely talented. and fun. this took me away for a bit. thank you Elton John

[@FoolsErrand2]

Just amazing. He didn't play the same run twice.

[@Elijah.Ashman]

my favourite performance of bennie and the jets! in my opinion 🎉

[@DKBastiansTwitch]

I get surprised every time i find a video where is solo and i haven't seen it yet, and then he plays like this! LOVE HIM SO MUCH CAN'T FORGET LAST YEAR!

[@papasmamas1]

So fast, so good, I would like to listen it faster, and he tripping more. such great musician Elton.

[@buddysteve5543]

I don't get how anyone could vote down on this video! If you think you can do better, then show us please!!!!

[@Sofian22440]

he just brings the stars in my eyes

[@JasondePlater]

There are lots of "in the mood" versions of Bennie and the jets but this one is definitely my favourite.

[@susbake]

Same

[@Elijah.Ashman]

I've got to agree with you on that one.

[@rapido2963]

Me too!

[@nunosa528]

The Sydney 1986 is one of my all time favorites, where the instrumental really evelates the music to another lvl and the raspy vocals complement it all so well ☺️

[@eugenegress5896]

He is definitely , Right hand Dominant. He and Billy Joel have very different Mechanist styles. Joel is more fly finger movment, Elton is more Syncopated , yet substantial movements. They just never liked being compared to eachother.

[@lnej846]

WOW! Quel pianiste formidable! Elton John I LOVE YOU!! XXX

[@jackhambleton882]

Genius!

[@notmozart1]

Raw talent - what a genius!!

[@Katanalord4Real]

Absolutely amazing. Just blown away by this.

[@MattHandle]

Showman. Clown. Exhibitionist ...and absolute chuffin' musical genius.

[@adventure.suburbanwestside533]

Elton John is the greatest pianist ever!!!!!!!

[@janetmoore5645]

Oh my goodness 😃. Still great song after all these years 😂. Benny in the Jets. Still listening to it today 😀.

[@spiritchaser4u]

I am a huge fan of his, but this was a little different style than he usually does, and I loved it, thank you for posting!

[@Ray-og3ex]

This was in Atlanta, February 23, 1999 (third show of the 1999 solo tour)

[@robertkushner156]

Thank you so much for listing the venue and the year!!!

[@robertkushner156]

What a fabulous performance from my favorite performer of all time!!!!!😊

[@Jo_Wardy]

This dude is like the mozart of the modern world. On piano.

[@toykanimo]

SIR ELTON JOHN

[@rockyfanatic6846]

This was the Atlanta concert in the evening with Elton John tour

[@bosanac2nv]

you took the words right out of my mouth, thumbs up buddy.

[@EltonJohn2133]

If you have any more from this concert please add :) thanks!

[@Picard327]

The turn around in In The Mood he did....my god.

[@lalala-ln8sk]

Todo un genio en el piano ❤

[@jasonbersch1514]

I love him

[@eltonherculesjohngigs2498]

I have the full audio recording of this show that I might upload on my channel!

[@Nikita-ez4ko]

I wonder if Elton would be physically capable of doing this song with the 1.25X speed. Listen to it, it’s amazing

[@jaggass]

He used to be capable of playing 1.25x speed when he was doing coke in the 70's and 80's.

[@Nikita-ez4ko]

@@jaggass Ah yes, Hammersmith Odeon 1982

[@jaggass]

@@Nikita-ez4ko Legendary like all of his show's from the early to mid 80's.

[@BenjiDarius]

Lets travel back to some of the fastest performances ever recorded, the one you mentioned Hammersmith Odeon 1982, Wembley 1984, and basically any show made before 1985

[@mikemcf33]

why would he want to? this was amazingly perfect..... wow. just incredible

[@RyuuShoujo]

So Good ...

[@Zombie81212]

5:14 in the mood??

[@rockyfanatic6846]

I have been trying to learn Bennie and the jets on piano with the in the mood stuff as well

[@nokiamfs3310]

if you came from george collier, 3:52

[@jackhambleton882]

1:46 and 2:48 are the most recognisable little countermelodies!!,

[@freddytangen444]

🐐

[@jackhambleton882]

At 1:46, I love this countermelody!

[@I20cKeTMan]

where was this at? somewhere in the US for sure, but where?

[@Ray-og3ex]

Atlanta, feb 23, 1999

[@PaperbackWriter92]

Where on the Medusa tour was this? I've never seen this video before.

[@Ray-og3ex]

Atlanta feb 3, 1999

[@buttermilkoreos8913]

4:41 Does that sound like something from Super Mario?

[@homeone4054]

The piano sounds like a Casio keyboard so yeah

[@john5959]

Originally it was randy and connie. Just didnt have the same ring.

[@howtodoitdude1662]

I think it was as Randy and Jeff.

[@fergusmcilveen2373]

It sounds like he relapsed on his cocaine addiction here lol. I like it...

[@olivierdewind8288]

2:17

[@rickrickster7448]

Why does he always sing with his lips against the microphone? Does he not think the mic is good enough to pick up his voice?

[@jaggass]

He uses floor monitors so you really have to sing close to the mic to hear yourself.

[@howtodoitdude1662]

It helps him sit up straight.

[@eltontothemax]

Just his preferred technique.

[@andrewdownes9730]

Foot plank sing.

[@andrewdownes9730]

He makes that 12 foot plank song. Incredible

[@LOVERGEIST777]

This video is not real 😂

[@emckene88]

annoyingly talented

[@LadyCroMag]

Kinda sloppy there, lazy Elton...

[@Nikita-ez4ko]

What you talking about? He’s amazing here

[@Elijah.Ashman]

@@Nikita-ez4ko Exactly! this performance is golden, i have seen two comments talking about how bad it is, how is it bad?

[@Darice-b9u]

May2024 absolutely nothing wrong with this performance.Genious at work delivering stunning rendition of B.ennie and the Jets commom❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤b❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@robertkushner156]

Love all your hearts for Elton. I feel the same way!
