Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1976) Live at Earl's Court, London

[@Reflow1000]

Nobody writes songs like this anymore

Taylor Swift?

[@fanaticaldueling6337]

Mahafrin Chowdhry Fuck no

[@IndieMusicMinute]

Whatever that means

[@Spiderboyish]

wrong, you just gotta look for it

[@bradgibson856]

one of his "old" songs, he said in 1976

[@iamnhdrummer0833]

Brad Gibson came out in 1971 so yeah 5 years old at the time

[@diron1270]

Andrew Campofredano Nope. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was not to be released until the year of 1973. The record was only three years old at the time.

[@bradgibson856]

Misses the point I was trying to make. I found it interesting that he referred to it as one of his old ones then, when it is now 40 years later. And his songs are brillant and enduring unlike the machine generated pop noise today. How much of the current playlists will be viewed on KZbin 3 or 5, or 40 years from now? My guess: not many. But thanks for mentioning the album release date. Helps put it into perspective.

[@diron1270]

Brad Gibson You are very much right, his songs are forever lasting, few artists have ever achieved what he has. The mere fact that he was the first artist in the world to enter the Billboard top 100 at first place is really quite stunning. And he thought the song was old back then... I know I will be listening to it when it turns a hundred years old.

[@fairyxx0]

Mr. Fahrenheit it was quiet old tho

[@justvibingtbh]

his “old” jokes considering his age then, his laugh, his vocals, his talent on the piano…this man is a legend

[@theunspokentruth5987]

His hair

[@mishaodessit769]

Genius

[@techonebs]

His vocal control is amazing!!!!

[@doubleuponbob3397]

What do you mean?

[@livispuzzled]

DoubleUpOnBob his ability to go from low notes to high notes/falsetto

[@lifegood3183]

Matt Mincer IKR! Especially 2:35

[@abhinavanand336]

That too in his cocained voice

[@cplaei1800]

He is so off pitch so often. He got personality, vibe, mojo and everything, but amazing vocal control? No he aint got that and the reason you think that is because you dont know what you're talking about. Delete your browser.

[@cafinario]

When I first listened to the record I though he'd be unable to support that voice range and falsetto in a live performance. I was wrong, completely wrong.

[@jamesfletcher9371]

Gustavo Al you and me both, compare it to the 'artist's of today where they would never be able to recreate their songs live like in the studio... such a shame

[@viveremilitareest9281]

You can rest assured he no longer reaches such notes. All of his recent performances of this particular song are average in vocal quality. Too much coke huh

[@marklesterlorenzo3579]

He did falsetto

[@jamesfletcher9371]

@@viveremilitareest9281 he's an older guy now, voices change over the years.

[@jamesfletcher9371]

@winomagnet completly agree, I'm not saying the artists are not talented (singing wise) but radio trash that is sung uses so much alteration that when heard live sounds no where near as good live.

[@mikemcf33]

The chord progression on this is amazing. No one writes like this anymore.

[@Rudeboy1910]

The smile he gives when people realize which song is coming next

[@mjtingle1]

The man had so many hits but this song is bloody perfect!!!

[@locksand45]

I thought theres no way he reproduces this vocal live...holy crap, that was flawless

[@georgiethumbs2438]

His voice was incredible back then, nobody came close

[@thesaucylorax]

His voice is still incredible, but in a different way

[@SweetParadise68]

Best live version of this song. As great as Elton is now, he can't hold a candle to this anymore.

[@RoninDays]

+Tom Laveign Age does that quick especially if you're fond of falsetto :(

[@seraphimprince]

He got nodules on his larynx and had them removed, which altered his voice.

[@scousepwn]

not even a candle in the wind

[@leedecarlo8930]

Is it just me or is Elton John better live?

[@srae1971]

The greatest ones usually are.

[@irishman4671]

I've seen him in concert many times. Once front row a few feet from him at Madison Square Garden. He is phenomenal live!

[@jorgeneri]

Yep, I didn't know he'd better live than at the studio.

[@winstonthevengefulduck470]

I mean, there are a few notes life who aren't sung as perfectly as in the studio but it's les sterile that way

[@madcorndog]

I don't think so, I think that the studio versions are always better but watching him sing and play live adds a whole new experience.

[@danjackson1016]

Amazing how he has had 2 very distinct and equally amazing voices in his career. He doesn't sound like this anymore but he still sounds exceptional.

[@huynhthanhngan4229]

His vocal control is amazing!!!! The man is a genius...Perhaps the only living true musical legend I think the camera man fell asleep at 2:26

You ever hear of Stevie Wonder? Very much alive….

[@davidjohnson2588]

I was 15 in 76 but I always liked Elton even back in 70-71. He got Soul,

I went to this concert. It was incredible. In the video Elton makes it look as if genius is easy.

I still remember the first time I walked into the Record Factory in September 1973 and saw the "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album on sale. It was $6,99 and I couldn't really afford it but I had to have it.

[@jackaveryslover4727]

I remember watching a show with my Mom a few years ago I was sitting on her bed in her bedroom watching her tv with her and I saw elton john performing this song I was listening to the music and loving it so much this song made me feel a type of way I can't explain. My mom died of cancer when I was 11 years old I'm 13 now I miss her more than anything. But i forgot what this song was called, and for some random reason today I don't know why but I was rushing to find it because I just needed to hear it. This song reminds me of my mom and I am so glad Elton john's song yellow brick road can help me feel closer to my mom when I miss her. Whenever I listen to this song I get a little sad because it reminds me of my mom but she is sadly passed away and I can't see her ever again. I'm glad I searched for this song today. I love you mommy I promise I will make you proud of me🙏❤️ R.I.P mommy

[@Breadking100]

thats amazing

[@jeromem.evardome10_kr15]

Young elton john have a soft and really peaceful voice but when he got older his voice become more powerful and sounds like more of a rock than a ballad

[@mjtingle1]

Eltons best song!!! It is absolutely perfect.

[@dookdawg214]

I just saw him live in Paris Sunday. He can't sing like this anymore, but it was still such an incredible concert. He finished with this song and I teared up.

[@OakplaysCGaming965]

Doubt it

@@OakplaysCGaming965 well, the next year he gobbled down a bunch of pills and tried to drown himself in a pool. So yeah, I think FACE 123 is correct.

[@SynthMusicWorld]

@@OakplaysCGaming965 you're right, I had the dates mixed up. If you've read "Me" he truly was in a lot of pain as far as depression and addiction goes.

I think this is one of the best versions of that song. This 1976 version of Live at Earl's Court, London, best live version. I wasn't even born! But this one, like his other songs, brings me good things. Thank you for existing Sir. Elton. You are wonderful.

[@AllYouNeedIsLove601]

Love Elton, huge fan. Saw Elton John at Rich Stadium/Orchard Park (Buffalo) on a miserable rainy day in August 1976. We got drenched and muddy but fab concert. Elton was brilliant and felt bad about the rain. We took a concert tour bus out of Toronto to attend but so worth it. Kiki Dee made an appearance with Elton singing "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and Boz Scaggs/Silk Degrees performed their hits and John Miles also performed but didn't really know of him.

[@JC-zz1ux]

One of the "old songs"? It was like ~ 3 years old at that point or so. Though this did mark the end of his Imperial Phase with Blue Moves coming out this year. What an absolute legend.

[@jdenino6022]

he said in an old interview from around 1973 that "songs are like postage stamps, we send them out and then we don't see them again..." I though what is he talking about? Doesn't he know how talented he is?! Crazy.
