Elton John - I'm Still Standing (Live at the Prince's Trust Rock Gala 1986) HD

[@BabyLambCreations]

To me, this has to be Elton’s greatest performance of “I’m Still Standing”. I could listen to it all day.

[@ActionMediaProductions]

Australia 1984 was the best performance of this song. Backing vocals don’t work here.

[@virtualensaniti2824]

One of his fastest lol... I think at one point Phil was having trouble matching on drums. Wow 💕

[@fredcaltchannel338]

YES THIS IS THE BEST VERSION

[@gaminglegend]

I would say this and Wembley 1984, love the rasp on that one. The modern version sound a bit too much like the studio version and less rock-like

[@westfield90]

The 80’s were such a great time

[@bensagal-morris8072]

Drew Clapp I’m just saying. Also, the 80’s saw MTV, something that really accelerated the dumbing down of mainstream music. A lot of 80’s music was god awful hair metal or cheesy pop that hasn’t aged well. My point is that the 80’s were the beginning of the downfall of mainstream music, a fall that still continues.

[@frijoleroman5346]

@@bensagal-morris8072 by the performance and impression of this gives off the idea that the 80s were great and pretty sure that's ALL he meant and tho what you are saying is true more or less he still saying this based off this performance and impression so no need to connect the dots

[@bensagal-morris8072]

Verse Random This performance is great. It shows there were exceptions to the general rule. In general, Elton was one of the better performers in the 80’s.

[@TheDillon8825]

Damn, his control of the piano is incredible. You can feel the drastic change of the song whenever he's playing the piano and when he's not.

[@JoseGarcia-yh4tu]

he fills the song, it sounds so empty without his playing ! ofc is also part the arrangment but to play that and sing and perform pfuuuu

[@onionhat9141]

Elton on piano and vocals, Eric on guitar, and Phil on Drums, can’t get any better than this

Phil Collins is the best drummer in my book, shame he can't drum anymore.

[@TheIrishDino]

and Mark Knofler

[@Mathews-YouTube]

The way he gets up, parades around the stage with such finesse and swag, then sits back at his piano and makes love to those keys like nothing happened, like he never got up. He has such an ear for music!

[@prestigious5s23]

He didn't even have to think which keys were next to play. It's almost like the piano plays Elton!

The tone is starting to deepen and get rough from the cocaine use and overwork. But the range is still there. Even that would be gone a few months later and once Elton had the operation to fix the damage, his voice was never the same again.

[@dmitri9042]

I recon that his voice problems started around mid 86. You can tell his voice wasn't right here.
