Elton John - Rocket Man

Elton John performs Rocket Man on his 60th Birthday at Madison Square Garden, 2007.

[@peterdaniel66]

When you realize you have never known a time in your life where this mans music wasnt woven in the fabric of your musical life, you appreciated it beyond measure. Such a beautiful mind to create such songs.. Thanks Elton.

[@Henrikfromearth]

the songwriter of this generation

[@dexxton]

Its just too bad we don't have all that many talented musicians now a days to fill the shoes of all the greats that we've come to know and love. I feel bad for wherever music is headed...

[@azcrum]

I saw him in concert about 30 years ago in Chicago....It was the best concert I have ever seen.

[@mcoon1987]

He sang it like that 40 years ago. The fact he is still here is more than enough. Elton is legend. God bless him, and god bless us for being here when he was.

[@silecune]

It's because people back in the day recognized good music from every genre.

[@bluejeanbaby101]

It's hard to believe that it has already been a few years since this concert. Where have the years gone? But wow.. he's still got it. Elton John is a legend and he always will be.

[@JSGolfGuy]

A few years later... I wish there were a better quality version of the whole concert on youtube, but beggars can't be choosers.

[@Yipasorus]

This is what GOOD music sounds like.

[@VideoWarfare]

His Las Vegas show was outstanding. If anyone ever has the chance to see him live in Vegas you wont regret it!

[@GuitarBlues07]

This song is so beautiful... aun the way he plays the piano... is so delicated... perfect!!!

[@vincentlem2534]

Listen. I saw Elton John twice. He is a great performer and to those who say he did not hit the high notes. He has earned the right to sing it any way he wants.

[@mcoon1987]

He sang it like that 40 years ago. The fact he is still here is more than enough. Elton is legend. God bless him, and god bless us for being here when he was.

[@cherie6408]

I'm a rocket man... yeah you sing always the way to want. Elton.

[@rockstar8734]

I'm 14 and I couldn't dream of being even close to have such precission and strenght in my fingers.

[@crowe78]

Love how he looks over his glasses at his audience. If you've never seen Sir Elton John live, GO if you get the chance. His concert is like a gift. His presence an honor.

[@deanyoung8812]

fucking ozzy was there :o massive respect to musicians that changed the face of the planet!

[@rskyhi]

Jan 2010 Honolulu - When my 15-year old daughter hooted and howled as he started playing, I realized EJ had spanned the generations... then thanked God for yet another joy my daughter and I could share!!

[@capoman1]

This dude can totally still rock. Nice to see you can keep your voice at this age.

[@rskyhi]

Ah... the ongoing discussion of the better between his present or former voice.... in the early seventies his 33 lp album was my favorite album, then when cassettes were big I'd enjoy his singing in my car... now nearing sixty myself I marvel at how his voice has matured and how my daughters (11 and 15) have embraced his music, just as I did. What we hear in Elton today is more than a great singer/pianist but the stuff legends are made of!

[@sargantfrosty]

BEST pianist ever in my book, and idc if he's gay because stuff like that shouldn't define a person. What does define a person is their character and what they've done with their life. and Elton John has a hell lot of character and has given the gift of beautiful music to millions of ears! Long live Sir Elton John in body mind and spirit!

[@JimmyJo14]

I'm 12 and i love elton john !!!!!!!!!!

[@yhozansaphir4196]

27 now 😊

[@DuckLoeb]

Sir Elton John playing in Gainesville Florida back in the day

[@jackiefinch9647]

Such a talent. My musical hero.

[@OmNomzX]

this song brought a tear to my eye. i was called a pansy for it. but i knew that only GOOD music could bring tears to a grown man's eyes.

[@Hendrucks]

One of the best Rocket Man performances ever..

[@KiljimKing]

Im 23 and just the same. But my mum introduced me to elton john a long time ago. And Im a fan of his ever since the true princess of GB died. RIP Diana

[@puckdropper27]

WE WERE BLESSED TO BE ALIVE TO HEAR ELTON JOHN

[@dturney100]

Truly one of the greatest performers of our generation. Just listen and appreciate :)

[@exposingthedarknesswiththe9190]

*ELTON JOHN, IS THE #1 SUPERSTAR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!!* *HOWEVER, HE NEEDS PRAYER IF TO MAKE IT INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!!!* *ROMANS 10:9-10* "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* *1 JOHN 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*

[@JessicaTG2008]

There are few people who have changed the course of music, Elton John is one of those. Timeless music feels like it was written today.. that's an accomplishment to the testament and creativity he brings into his performances.

[@hanksjames6]

Without a doubt.The GREATEST Music artist of All Time.

[@keetonize]

i seen ELTON in evansville in and he was the best musician ive ever seen in my life !!! hands down. im a musician myself and he is a class act with none to follow ,create your own path. SIR ELTON PAVED HIS...and i am very grateful,thank you Mr. Elton John for gracing the stage.....MKE

[@mirokyu]

I cannot get enough of this song. I love seeing the Master Of Piano at work. Legendary artist, great man. Sir Elton John. I had the privilege to see him in concert a few months ago. Blew my mind as to how much energy he brings to the stage. AND the man can sing.

[@nanatench]

I love me some Sir Elton John!! Great memories associated with his music from the 1970's to today!! He was absolutely awesome in Charlotte NC a couple of years ago. thank you Elton

[@bradrider1668]

Kim Carter would just love to see me some Sir Elton John is the best...

[@heikemoll9283]

.

[@BG.Gerenski]

I'm 23 and I love it... But yes, I agree with you, not too many out there at my age appreciate the brilliancy of Sir Elton John.

[@alnobleman2884]

I'm 23 now. 12 years later and this comment perfectly describes me and my generation today

[@Gorillapoo101]

This is the best video on KZbin hands down. Absolutely 100% genius, this is the most amazing thing I have ever heard in my life, when he gets into the blues part I get shivers and goosebumps every time. I am completely speechless... Wow

[@Itzzzelrivera]

i went to one of his concerts 2 years ago it was the MOST magnificent masterpiece that i could have ever imagined. I LOVE YOU SIR ELTON♥

[@ask1325]

I realy can't wait until his concert in Norway (Red Piano) It will be awsome to watch a great legend on the scene, LIVE!

[@PBGellie]

[@gammascrazy]

I love you Elton .. you have taken me through some tough times my friend xo

[@wills88ss]

I' am a 29 year old male, I listen to a variety of music but mostly rap and R & B. I do have the capability of recognizing excellent music when I hear it. I never new EJ was the artist of this song and I can honestly say he has gained another fan. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheNakedWombat]

1,000% Class. 1,000% Legend.

[@russsimpson4281]

i saw sir Elton live at a little venue of less than 6k people in Yakima Washington just two years ago. wow, the best concert ever and i was late due to parking issues. think of this video only three hours long! a true legend and i am a huge fan!

[@SamBlitz]

Mine was 9 minutes and 56

[@Mary56]

My favorite E.J. song. Used to dance to this all the time back then. Great version. Thank you Sir Elton........you're amazing.

[@user-lr2im7lx7x]

I always smile on rocketman song❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bodymassage84]

One of the best songs to ever be put together, to experience and be a part of the audience is a privelage I've had three times and hopefully more. The power of the crowd at the end of this song is one of the most overwhelming feelings I've had ever felt in a concert.

[@Bublik_Shmublik]

The best version of Rocket Man.. Bravissimo!!

[@s2h995]

Bublik look up 1985 wembley stadium. That version kills this one

[@wellhausen]

[@boykasbad]

Elton played in Winnipeg, Canada .May 2011 and he rocked the house. Played 2 1/2 straight, awesome show

[@mizofan]

The Rocket Man is still flying high, #3 in the US charts with his great new album The Union

[@williambenner5550]

Wow, he still got it! I saw him in concert twice and he was outstanding both times..both concerts were totally different. I heard that Bernie got the lyrics to this song while he was driving and he had to rush home and write them down before he forgot them!

[@jscottrockford]

William Benner He said it was inspired by a Ray Bradbury story he read a kid about how in the future being an astronaut would just be a normal 9 to 5 job......still not quite there yet lol

[@entertainer106]

I love this man to death--his voice, his music. Go, Elton!

[@MrNightwolf231]

i've been EJ's fan for years i love his music and a lot of his songs

[@Danelover2010]

Am I the only one that could just watch and listen to him jam? Amazing what he does with those short, stubby fingers... absolutely amazing!!

[@christopherfassio643]

[@Netlocd]

As a 100% straight male, I adore Elton's music, and him as a person. Wonderful man, wonderful music.

[@azcrum]

Saw Elton in concert in 1982 and it's one of the best performances I've seen.

[@busterbone]

he makes his crazy sunglasses and costume look so elegant

[@Thumper17]

Saw him last night, his concert rendition of this song gave me goosebumps and rewarded him with a standing ovation from a packed house during his post/pre song bows and waves.

[@MontcoHuntings145]

Can performance get any better than this? I absolutely LOVE EJ

[@DarkSedgie]
