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!!!!!!

[@thePeakk]

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

[@JohnDoe-gx7rn]

Zaonhe said 2022

[@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.

[@elayne62418]

Can't imagine what my life would have been without Elton John

[@11thStreetKid]

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

[@tudybenjamin4064]

[@skmnstr]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@fabianoaraujo4383]

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

[@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

[@kinghendawg74]

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!!!

[@okuyashoe_official]

He sounds so amazing in this live performance

[@joe22589]

Dude! This is Sir Elton John! He is amazing!!!

[@208sapphire]

Elton John is known as rocketman

[@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?

[@kimjong-un8353]

Definitely this is my song! I love you Elton.

[@jamesmbugua4295]

[@aquatarot444]

This song gives me chills EVERYTIME

[@perryjohnson7659]

[@wesleycantrell332]

[@31eo7]

[@robertpagan1725]

[@spadeaspade7255]

[@josephvera2991]

[@danielteer4471]

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

[@occamsrazor6613]

Darn time goes by fast. I was there standing in the front. Been listening to him since for ever!

[@wendylecker6937]

[@martimcfly8462]

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

[@sergiomariofelix1496]

Perfeitamente perfeito👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@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

[@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!=(

[@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..

[@marcosantoniovasconcelos3877]

Não existe na música pop compositor que se compare a Elton John. Eu o acompanho desde 1972. Estou com 68 anos e o escuto como se fosse jovem. Eh incomparável. Mantém um alto nível ate hoje.

[@dantastic721]

My dad loved Elton John music. He passed away 4 years. This song reminds me of him and miss him.

[@shaunrish9516]

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

[@FittedSheetGaming]

I think this is Elton's best concert

[@tudybenjamin4064]

❤🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌 Sir Elton John

[@pattibrooks1907]

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

[@berniceangoh-lee4847]

Legendary Elton John!

[@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]

Maravilhoso artista. Quem não tem uma lembrança associada a uma música de Elton John. Saudade de quando música era música e não baixo nível.

There is pure musical genius and then there is Elton John. They are one and the same!

One of the best performers of all time!

[@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.

[@bottleimp007]

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!

[@adrianamoura249]

Essa voz è simplismente linda.......Amo,Elton john forever...

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.

[@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.

[@Facts_dont_hurt]

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”.
