It's crazy how your voice will change over the years!! His voice is alot different from his voice 70's version

[@tribeman19]

Henry Cobb he had a surgery on his throat, it’s absolutely astounding that with technique he is still able to sing so well all considered.

[@manoelbrandao9304]

Me too!

[@ibananin5231]

Still legendary 👀

[@dariobermudez21]

it's call growing , maturing , learning , not a bad live version nevertheless, one of the worst wigs , I would sue the responsible for that disaster

[@stefanobrasiliano742]

but still amazing!!!

[@HoboGus]

Elton John is a very compassionate human being and a Class Act. I saw him perform at Washington State university in Pullman WA a few years ago and he played for almost 3 hours straight with no break. His concerts are awesome.

[@raybrewster233]

The way Elton overcame his throat issues and still sound awesome is amazing.People need to appreciate this legendary singer.Makes a mockery of todays singers!!!!!!

[@40giggamer]

Elton John may be amazing, but take a moment to appreciate the great bass guitar in this song

[@Minalover100]

Don't forget the guy playing that slide on the guitar...

[@benjaminmyles5886]

that bass goes right though ya

[@9carcottrell246]

Kyle Hodgeman no comparison, grapes n watermelons 🍉

[@gladiatortruth9605]

that bass is the heartbeat of the song

[@mikehill23]

which he wrote - not gettin fresh. Just mentioning in case people forget the composer does that too. Unless Bernie writes those?

[@thePeakk]

I can’t believe I’m seeing him in concert next year

❤🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌 Sir Elton John

[@danielteer4471]

Man, I swear as his voice matured it got better. What an incredible vocalist, musician... performer... timeless

[@SoftRockMusic88]

I don't know how it's even possible, but soft rock music can make me kinda nostalgic for a world I've never been and never seen. It calms down and gives a feeling of infinity of time as if our life is not so short at all. It gives me meaning and desire to keep living through this difficult time

[@11thStreetKid]

Elton is great himself thats for sure but let’s give some respect to his band, what a great sound they have.

[@tudybenjamin4064]

Davey johnstone

[@maxhess3151]

The outro is absolutely magical. I saw him live once and "Rocket Man" made me feel like I'd never felt before.

[@208sapphire]

Elton John is rocketman

[@wendylecker6937]

still a favorite song of mine.

[@skmnstr]

Elton John truly is a masterful musician with such an understanding and respect for his instrument. He truly is a legend.

[@okuyashoe_official]

He sounds so amazing in this live performance

[@joe22589]

Amazing performance from sir Elton John... Thanks for this gift

[@wesleycantrell332]

this is the song my brother played constantly before he went to basic training and this was the song the played when i got my first kiss at a high school so every time this comes on it brings tears to my eyes

[@31eo7]

Wesley Cantrell nice dude

[@robertpagan1725]

[@spadeaspade7255]

[@jamesmbugua4295]

[@felippegarcia87]

Kkkkk

[@vladimiralexandru2804]

Mind your words ur highness....he may enjoy that

[@masonross6367]

🤣🤣🤣

[@AndyisStinky]

I wonder what he would bring the the table if there wasnt an audience and he was solely playing for himself on stage; how differently he would express himself through his music. He is just one talented guy and a great entertainer.

[@Anthem728]

This man is one of the most amazing artist bar none. I'm 62 and as long as I can remember he's been cranking out hits. I grew up with this man in my ear and will hopefully die with him in the other. I truely love Elton John, his band and music. Rock it brother..

[@defunct8009]

Best performance of Rocket Man

[@tonypulizzi5656]

The 1972 royal festival hall is probably the best

[@fanaticaldueling6337]

I think 1979 Moscow is the best

[@lhy5701]

Live aid the best

[@AdamMcDermottLikeschicken]

[@briammcmillion1740]

U so right mac from baltimore

[@immortalbeloved7978]

this was 19 years ago... JEEEEZZZ!!!!!

[@luizgrocco]

To me this is the best version of this song by a mile. I don't know why but I simply love the arrangement done here.

[@Alexfoxxrox]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJC0i5huj5tprposi=-p-1-52th7ZJpJvK say that again after listening to this version before the song even came out on album

[@ConnoHasMono]

YES he sounds so good 🎶🫡

[@renarga6886]

Elton John is a LEGEND here in Brazil. Many men born in the 1970s and 1980s were named Elton after him.

[@martinpanks992]

He’s so brilliant at what he does, the UKs treasure that is Elton John!.

[@hikikomoriwitch]

My dad and mama told me about the wonderful nights that they spent together listening to that song...Oh God!They are so lucky...it's too bad that I couldn't live the good times!=(

[@barisselvi5937]

You know what? This is the best song ever and it will never change. This song will never die for me, not my best song, I can't tell you what my favorite song, that would be really hard question for me, saying a favorite song. I would say my best 5 song and I can't choose a favorite of them. But, Rocket Man is the best song ever written.

[@tudybenjamin4064]

Daniel, your song

[@arturostevens3]

Fabulous lyric and fabulous timeless melody. The greatest song duo Elton and Taupin. Once in a lifetime. McCartney and Lennon, John and Taupin, Rogers and Hammerstein. Amazing to watch this breathtaking performer.

[@darrinneat2920]

I hope your good.. today... much love.

The ether of brilliance and freedom that fills the upper regions of space flows freely from a liberated heart and a razor sharp mind. Beautifully expressive, a talent this remarkable represents a detour from the mediocre and the mundane. Elton John makes great music as effortlessly as most people breathe. Give this gift as freely as Elton does - give it to your children - give it to all the people of the earth!

[@martimcfly8462]

He's the greatest legend we have in our world We have to appreciate it so long we can

[@pattibrooks1907]

I was 16 when this song first came out in 1972 and had the 45 RPM record ! I love his songs !

[@shaunrish9516]

I have never been a fan of this mans music however his band and his piano playing are always top quality

[@bottleimp007]

The ether of brilliance and freedom that fills the upper regions of space, though unseen, is as plain as the sun in the summer sky, flowing freely from a liberated heart and a razor sharp mind. Beautifully expressive, Elton creates great music as effortlessly as most people breathe, providing a detour from the mediocre and the mundane.

[@1969rockers]

Terrific performance by a genuinely talented showman. Just saw his Farewell Tour. Today's performers lack the presence and talent of so many that we saw in the 60's, 70's and 80's.

[@imnotgayyy8489]

Wow even this performance is twenty years old! Time flies.... Like a rocket.man.💃💃💃💃💃

[@godwinaldrichenriquez1560]

I think this is the best version of Rocket Man i've ever heard...💖💖

Best live version of this song that I've ever seen--really maintains the original spirit. Oh, to go back and be there...

[@NeilMelling-pw6ts]

Checkout the 1971-72 live performance

[@satyabratamishra4670]

@@NeilMelling-pw6ts i think the live performances back then didnt maintain the original vibe because his voice was more twangy and strained and had less depth plus it sounds better without the annoying falsetto and a richer baritone voice. but the original studio version is still special and i like that.

[@davewilkirson2320]

The best.

This song, and in particular the "long long time" fade (here beautifully extended), evoked nostalgia, longing, and hope at a depth that caused both wonder and ache in 16 year-old me. 30+ years later its the same.

This was Nigel Olsson’s first concert back with the band since 1984 when he and Dee Murray were sacked. Davey Johnstone had been trying to get him and Dee back for years, about 12 years, until Dee sadly died. It was during this song that Elton is quoted as saying he realised how much he missed Nigel Olsson and decided, “its time we brought Nigel back”.
