Elton performed numerous songs on the BBC music TV show, The Old Grey Whistle Test. Among them was ‘Tiny Dancer’ in 1971, destined to become one of his most enduring tracks. Just recently, it was given an official music video in the global KZbin competition, The Cut, and is among the Elton John songs that can be heard on the Rocketman movie trailer starring Taron Egerton.

It almost seems impossible that a single person and a piano can create something so magnificent. I like how he goes from playing the melody to using the piano for percussion to kind of give the illusion of drums or a bass. Utterly amazing!

I was there. At the time, I had seen 35 years of great concerts ( including iElton in 1976). This one ranks up with the absolute best I’ve ever seen. A guy who played like he was playing his last show, in front of only what that hockey arena in Duluth could hold. Some 10,000 people tops were there. An incredible musician, who did not hold back one bit for a smaller venue. A guy who throughout the evening, thanked the audience and told them that they were the reason he plays. A hugely talented and gracious display. I’m so glad I was there.

He is more talented than all of the current crop on the radio and will be remembered longer than most. Everything thing he wrote was timeless and many generations to come will enjoy his music. God gave this man talent beyond compare and he has the catalog to prove it.

In the 1980s I saw Elton John in concert 4 times. Three were huge, loud, rock and roll extravaganzas. However, the first was in a small proscenium auditorium. The first half was just Elton and his piano. The second half, Nigel Olsson came out and accompanied on drums. Obviously that first concert was far and away the best.

Nobody even mentions just how much of a genius composer he is and how beautiful and clean of a piano he plays, its just amazing. I remember when he hit the scene in America back in the 70's, my older brother turned me on to him 😮

A few months before this performance I saw Elton John at Riverside City College in California, during his first American tour. He came out on stage dressed in simple clothes and did the entire concert alone at the piano, playing hits from the Elton John album and Tumbleweed Connection. What a treasure for the world.

But with that in mind, still to bring such a great deal of meaning to people is mindbogglingly sweet, also. Just to listen and forget. Today I'm 56.
