Elton John - Live in Japan 1998 Face to Face - Take Me To The Pilot

Over 10 (!) minutes of Take Me To The Pilot

[@KennethAugust]

The prophets and gods and whatnot weren't lying: this is simply the best OUTSTANDING piano intro to Take Me To The Pilot! Almost 7 minutes of eardrum-ticklish awesomeness, OMG I can't contain this much euphoria!!

[@user-lr2im7lx7x]

Love those faces he makes twinkling those keys❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Without question - one of the best tours ever, no matter which vintage of it you saw, (I saw all.....) but this particular version of TMTTP solo is without question the best he ever put down that we can find and listen to today. This thing smashes and bangs like nothing else.

Have you heard the Glasgow one from 2011?

[@lyleorr9832]

@@1091Floyd21 NO! Where can I find the bootleg?

This isn't the Face-to-face tour, that was in 1994. I saw him in September of '98

[@kipthecourtjester]

Absolutely the finest performance of this song. Best piano solo ever recorded in my opinion.

[@philswaim392]

Probably the best piano playing live Sir Elton has ever done.

[@mf5202]

This guy is a pretty good piano player. He should do it for a living... 😉

[@MatthewWilkinson]

Thanks, been looking for this on youtube for years, thee best version of this song ever perhaps, or at least the intro.

[@TheMcesar84]

Some solid range there from 5:30 to 6:40

[@HaginTheWalrusBoy]

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE UPLOADS!!

[@colbybelk]

@3:30 It sounds like he's sampling the melody verse of "I'm Still Standing". Incredible vid.

[@helpeds]

[@LioraBCT]

This is three for the price of one. 🤯

[@venusninine]

ELTON I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

[@jacknio6032]

Whose that background singer toward the end doing the solo?

[@jamesaccardo9313]

I went to the 98 one

[@AzlanValentine]

Jesus

[@FlimFlamBougelets]

Anyone know what he’s mouthing at 7:07?

[@jenniejoyz]

He wasn't. He was just singing.

[@FlimFlamBougelets]

@@jenniejoyz- No it looks like he was mouthing something to the sound men who are directly across the stage in the corner (stage right). They in turn notify the people mixing the board in the center of the arena to make adjustments.

[@jenniejoyz]

He was singing, oohhh.

[@FlimFlamBougelets]

@@jenniejoyz No he wasn't sorry.. As I posted at 7:07 he mouths somehting. Good bye Jenny

[@jenniejoyz]

@@FlimFlamBougelets cya.

[@spinandmarty]

less is more. just needs ray cooper for this song. thats all. this is just cluttered.

[@1091Floyd21]

He could be a way better pianist if only he applied himself.
