Elton John was all over the radio during the seventies. Every album he put out then was amazing.

[@dcaseng]

Someone saved my life tonight will blow you away.

[@kylebakke594]

Next recommended Elton John song: “Levon” It’s a tale of a young man who resents his father.

[@michaelschwab5628]

Funeral for a friend / Love lies bleeding is a must reaction!

[@henrybruhns4800]

Absolut! Thats one of the reason i buy that Album , the other was that every song is diverent style

[@henrybruhns4800]

Absolut! Thats one of the reason i buy that Album , the other was that every song is diverent style

[@noahholliday9761]

Totally agree but I don't know how many new Elton listeners would make it through the intro.

[@michaelschwab5628]

You're probably right a little patience goes a long way. I saw him in 1973 in Hollywood Florida. My second concert.

[@lisarainbow9703]

"Burn Down the Mission" is another amazing Elton John song, that I haven't seen anyone react to yet..

[@Critical_Cynic]

Elton John was the biggest selling artist of the 70s, so yeah, lots of great songs before I'm Still Standing (1983). Your Song, Levon, Honky Cat, Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, Crocodile Rock, Daniel, Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Bennie and the Jets, Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me, Philadelphia Freedom, Someone Saved My Life Tonight, The Bitch Is Back, Pinball Wizard, Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word and so many more just in the 70s.

[@jefffournier9986]

Someone saved my life tonight, Benny and the Jets. Don't let the Sun go down on me.

[@terriertz6837]

Benny and the Jets is an Elton John banger.

[@markharris5107]

Benny and the Jets is also one of his most hated songs. Not an attractive song to many of us.

[@graemekelly1572]

Ahhhh Sir Elton John one of our living LEGENDS

[@jehuxtable]

Different Elton stuff = "Your Song", "Get Back Honky Cat", "Crocodile Rock", "Bennie and the Jets", "Daniel", "Someone Saved My Life", ........

[@GrowingUpJersey]

Mona LIsa and Mad Hatters, Levon, Amoreena, Madman Across The Water

[@Ocrilat]

@@GrowingUpJersey Yea, there's a ton of great songs.

[@Kim-hc5si]

These plz. 👍🏻

[@sharonmartinez4320]

Elton John is truly flamboyant but you cant argue with his sound and lyrics. He is one of kind amazing

[@TheMike_I]

Rocket Man. Tiny Dancer. more early Elton classics

[@susanmaggiora4800]

Mike I Tiny Dancer, Levon, Take Me to the Pilot, Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters, My Father’s Gun, Border Song, Son of Your Father, Honky Cat, Mellow, Can I Put You On, Amoreena, Honey Roll, Texan Love Song, Crocodile Rock. I could quadruple that list & there’d still be a ton of bangers he won’t have heard. Elton was prolific. He released ‘Don’t Shoot me I’m Only the Piano Player’ & ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ (a double album) all within 9 months of each other. And he also played 100 live shows that year. He released 14 albums between 1970 & 1980, not including a soundtrack for the movie, ‘Friends,’ which has a couple of my favorite Elton John songs (Honey Roll & Can I Put You On).

[@TheMike_I]

@@susanmaggiora4800 anything between 1970 & 1975 by him 😁

[@leticiaserna2924]

Philadelphia Freedom is another great song by Elton John.

[@karenj3611]

He has soooo many hits, welcome to another rabbit hole

[@pamelajordan5948]

Love Elton John who wouldn't there's more to his beautiful music ... messages

[@stephenmccormack5750]

My favorites from Elton John as well as this are - Roy Rogers, Tiny Dancer, Song for Guy, Your Song, Harmony.

[@jazzminb]

This is my favorite Elton John song - I first heard it in elementary song and just listen to over and over

[@margaretgerhold5922]

This had to be tv because live shows were different but awesome. Love your channel. Almost 3 decades of the most innovative modern music ever is a lot to discover. So worth it though.

[@mikecappadocia5959]

My favorite Elton John song i think

[@jenniferkimmons7366]

Elton & George Michael make quite a pair on "Don't let the sun go down on me" Harmonies are out of this world! t's beautiful! You would love it! Loving your reactions..so fun!

[@mizofan]

Elton's golden era was 1970-76. 7 consecutive #1 albums in USA from 1972-75 (and superb albums in 1970, 71 too).

[@mspicer3262]

Elton John - Candle in the Wind... that's another must if you want to hear his range and talent...

[@HalStargazer]

early elton john was absolutely outstanding

[@carollandrum9223]

1973 was a very good year for music!

[@kaycee4357]

Crazy talent!!!

[@keymack2477]

For more Elton John magic look for Levon, Your Song, Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters and Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding. Enjoy the trip!

[@RonnieT44]

My favourite Elton John track. Brings back special memories.

[@jazzkat8322]

Oh God why can't music be this good now.

[@bangmon1000]

This song takes me back to my childhood and I can't stop thinking of the album cover.

[@arnoldriendeau3072]

Saturday nights all right for fighting banger

[@ladyshar42]

this whole album is a masterpiece. I'm Still Standing was a come back song after he went into rehab. 80s/90s Elton was a bit different than 70s Elton. I love it all though, lol.

[@mizofan]

Elton cleaned up from drugs and alcohol in 1989. I'm Still Standing was one of two standout hits from the 1983 album Two Low for Zero (the other being I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues), which was a fine album, something of a return to form, after decline since 1976.

[@DLCSTexas]

I found you a few days ago and have really enjoyed your library, but thanx especially for this one...it’s my favorite. The words are hard to follow. I’ve followed the lyric version. Elton being from England makes his voice so appealing, but sometimes hard to follow. This was a masterpiece of Elton music and Bernie tarpon lyrics. Than for the reaction.

[@wisemang73]

I wonder if the people in the crowd knew they were were hearing greatness

[@muriel2267]

Check out Saturday Night’s alright for fighting from this album. It’s a banger 👍🏼 if you react to it please do the studio version 😊

[@wpollock1]

Bernie Taupin was the lyricist.....he would give Elton the lyrics and he would write the melody in 20 minutes. The drummer, guitarist and bass player would tell Elton to leave and they would add the background harmonies. The whole album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is fantastic.

[@stevemccormack9948]

Elton had great stuff. In addition to all the famous stuff, one or two are kind of forgotten and under-rated. Check out Song for Guy, Harmony and Tiny Dancer. Also, my favorite - Roy Rogers.

[@johnandrews3151]

More Elton John please! Elton John/Believe. Elton has had so many hits, you would be hard pressed to exaust the list any time in the near future, and then there are his deep album cuts which totally rival his hits! Examples - Have Mercy On The Criminal, Blues For Baby And Me, The King Must Die, Come Down In Time, Ticking, Sails and many, many more. You have absolutely no idea what you are NOT hearing by missing out on these totally excellent songs! So sad you have not yet heard them!

[@annasaylor3566]

Elton John: Your Song and Teacher I Need You

[@sallyramirez5980]

Funeral for a Friend is also an amazing song. When this album came out everyone in our small town was blasting Elton. ✌

[@trevortamboline279]

Please... react to a song from the same album, the opening track: "Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding". Just listen to the original studio recording... put your headphones on... close your eyes... and enjoy the ride!!! You WON'T be disappointed. It's Elton's opus.. a true rock and roll masterpiece. Also, this is the early part of Elton's career before his surgery to remove polyps from his vocal cords which changed his voice forever. He can't hit those high notes anymore... such a shame.

[@thomaswest7746]

Candle in the wind,

[@conniehorton1981]

Elton Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me is my favorite

[@boxsterman77]

Listen to "Tonight" from the Blue Moves album. A classically inspired piece about a stormy relationship at its bitter end. Also "Madman Across the Water" a bluesy piece that's a bit nightmarish. Has a great guitar riff.

[@fordp69]

Funeral for a friend / Love Lies Bleeding, 'nuf said.

[@zanetpieterse7933]

Love this masterpiece, even though it is an 'old' song 😁😁😁 Thanx! Namibia 🤟🏻🇳🇦🤟🏻

[@leticiaserna2924]

Benny and the Jets is another great song.

[@ronsmith5572]

Elton John - Candle In The Wind

[@jameshanson3759]

Listen to "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" A Love song to New York City and Friendship. Simply beautiful !

[@markharris1125]

And Mona Lisas Part Two on Reg Strikes Back is also a great song. As is Wouldn't Have You Any Other Way (NYC). Let's do an Elton New York Quartet, with Empty Garden to make up the four.

[@onlymeian58]

Another great album!!

[@johnandrews3151]

Elton John is the GOAT! Over 50 top 40 hits in the USA. Many of his album cuts rival his hits! Elton John/Have Mercy On The Criminal album version

[@mizofan]

more hits this year and currently! Oh yes, there are many hidden gems far superior to some of his most famous songs- a magnificent catalogue.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

They're lip-syncing this while playing the studio version, but it sounds great because it's Elton John! Please also do "Candle In The Wind" on this album.

[@mikel3363]

*~ Perhaps Elton was vocally tired that day ~ as a singer, this is a challenging song to sing ~ BEST ~*

[@alangriggs6355]

That was top of the pops that was the official version all the bands mimed

[@tanya4025]

"Sacrifice", "Nikita" , "Original Sin".. Yup he has many great hit songs 😇🤗

[@veadairavani5692]

Elton John is such a wonderful musician, and his band is great even live. This was a voice over, but if you hear them perform live, you will be impressed.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Anything from the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is great, but Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding is what could be called a "Magnum Opus".

[@caligkontra]

I almost recommended this the other day, great choice.

[@charliecochran3035]

You really can't make a song prettier than that. The lead vocals, the harmonies, the ensemble, and the lyrics are basically perfect. #1 Elton John by a mile in my opinion. He has some other great ones too.

[@sarita423]

I still think this is my all-time favorite Elton John song. I actually babysat for a woman with a white baby grand piano that he gave her. It was cool to play know he had touched the same keys. They were friends. She and her ex-husband were in the rock business. Seymour still is as far as I know.

[@SG-ct4yn]

If you're into harmonies then 'Southern Cross' by Crosby, Stills, and Nash. The long version; the short one drops a verse.

[@tonygarza4200]

Live or studio version, everything he's done is amazing. You could pick any random song and it would be a hit.

[@billygugen8104]

Listen close. Theyre playing the studio version and lip synching. I dont kknow why but its without a doubt the studio version.

[@jimmayors2315]

Ticking, live Old Grey Whistle Test

[@RichardMcLamore]

burn down the mission, the 1970 bbc performance

[@susanmaggiora4800]

This is the album track being lipsynched, so it’s not exactly a ‘live’ performance.

[@gallery963]

Its very tough to find Elton lipsinging

[@markharris1125]

Anything from Top of the Pops will be 1) lipsynched 2) cut and 3) full of dead-eyed audience members who seem strangely unaffected by the fact they're within a few feet of one of the biggest stars in the world, and stand there lifeless as though they've just witnessed a traffic accident. Avoid!

[@vickiedittebrand7358]

Mad man Across the water and Monalisa and MadHatters

[@peggypieters661]

Love this!! Would also appreciate you playing Elton John’s music video of his song, “Sacrifice”.

[@Alewifes_Husband]

Authentic footage from the right era -- but set to the studio version. Which is alright, you can hear it exactly how Elton intended.

[@robdaviesprogm]

There actually isn't any organ on this recording. The instruments are Piano (played by Elton, of course), Electric Guitar (Davey Johnstone), Bass (Dee Murray), Drums (Nigel Olsson), and a string section (arranged by Del Newman). It's easy to confuse Del's arrangements for keyboard parts since they sound so much like keyboard parts, but rest assured they are in fact live string players. For other suggestions, I'd like to put forward "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", "Philadelphia Freedom", and "Bennie and the Jets" for singles, and "Sixty Years On" and his live 1986 version of "Burn Down the Mission" for album tracks.

[@karenj3611]

Great drummers who also sing. Roger Taylor of Queen. Phil Collins. Don Henley of The Eagles.

[@johnandrews3151]

Now you should hear the original stereo studio version of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton. The video you reviewed is cut and does not play the entire song. This entire double album is fire and made Elton John a superstar. Two other hits from this album is Bennie & The Jets and Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting. Also the original version of Candle In The Wind which he hit #1 in the 80's with live in Australia.

[@gallery963]

Somebody needs to do "Border Song" Might as well be you.

[@pamelajordan5948]

When I said good bye yellow brick road. Found myself

[@GaryRPeters]

If you're into vocal harmonies, check out The Beach Boys. I recommend "Sloop John B"

[@mikel3363]

*~ Chod, if you're doing more '70's Elton, the album / studio version of "SOMEONE SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT" is EPIC ~!!! ~ BEST ~*

[@mikel3363]

...AND went to #4 in the US; #2 in Canada; played on the radio frequently ~ One of his very BEST ~*

[@angielofton6372]

Levon, Daniel, Tiner Dancer.

[@kdpflush]

If you like the harmonizing you should listen to some Beach Boys

[@rbking9296]

If you to hear a drummer sing then check out the song The Weight by “The Band” and make sure to do the live version from the Last Waltz, as far as Elton John, I’m a fan of his early music from 1970-75, his catalog is to deep to mention all of his music but just off the top of my head try Levon, Monalisas And Mad Hatters, Tiny Dancer, Burn Down The Mission, and if you want to hear him Rock then listen to Saturday’s Alright For Fighting.

[@lisastillson4472]

Dancin' Shoes by Nigel Olsson-Elton John's drummer

[@RadCenter]

More great selections: "Philadelphia Freedom," "Candle in the Wind," "Pinball Wizard," "Levon," "Daniel," "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" (original, not duet)

[@mizofan]

actually i slightly prefer the duet!.

[@Stephanie-up1kx]

Do Bennie and the Jets next or as I've seen other comments Funeral for a Friend !!

[@gershonallweiss1742]

Hey Man! I really think that you will enjoy and appreciate Barbra Streisand. Her most notable songs are "Evergreen", "Memories", "Memory", "People", "The Way We Were" and "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" Please, please, please I think you will get something out of them. Keep great music alive!

[@pandorasbox66]

Hope you are well and keeping safe you should check out Elton John - Saturday Nights Alright - Prince's Trust All Stars Band - 1987 - Live posted by David Webb. And it features in this video Elton John, Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins and Mark King & Mike Lindup from Level 42. Check out and let me know what you think.

[@brianharrisable]

For harmonies you can't beat Surf's Up or 'Til I Die by The Beach Boys. Elton songs that would make for good reactions are 'Honky Cat' and 'Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters'.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

I decided to just go back myself and copy them to save you time. Here’s a copy of the post I the songs listed: OK, Chaud...This is Helene. There are two kinds of EJ songs....at least to me...bright, poppy songs (Bennie and the Jets, Saturday Nights Are Right for Fightin’ etc.) and I will let other subs who like them suggest them to you. I think you like the deeper, more serious songs, so here is a list of nine songs that I think are representative of that side of Elton: beautiful lyrics, gorgeous and lush “wall of sound”, wonderful piano playing, great melodic lines. This is in no particular order of quality....just as I thought of them: 1) Tiny Dancer (became of HUGE song of the seventies, and was a key moment in the movie Almost Famous....which, if have not watched it, you should. A wonderful movie about the 1970’s music scene and based on a true story) 2)Candle in the Wind (sung about Marilyn Monroe. Elton was invited to sing it at Princess Diana’s funeral, which he did, changing a few words...that’s how powerful a song it is) 3)Daniel 4) Levon 5) Your Song 6)Burnin’ Down the Mission 7)Madman Across the Water 8) Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me (to me, one of his most beautiful and powerful songs 9) Mona Lisa and. Mad Hatters (another poignant, beautiful song about the New York City underground nightlife scene in the 70’s). You cannot go wrong with any of these songs.....or anything off of Captain Fantastic or Boodbye Yellow Brick Road albums...

[@pbasswil]

Just so you know, the audio to this vid is the studio recording. The lip-syncing is immaculate; but even if the band recreated the album track note for note (and they _were_ a crack band, and faithful to originals), in those days you just couldn't get that kind of perfect mix on a live gig. It's also possible that they performed a real, live version, and the video replaced the live audio with the track. But in that case you'd likely catch their lips being out of sync, at least sometimes. Because of the perfect sync, I'm pretty sure they were lip-syncing - in which case the audience also heard the track we're hearing.

[@brendanbegley954]
