His greatest album surely? ELTON JOHN Harmony REACTION - First time hearing

[@vespoint]

This is one of my favorite Elton John songs. It’s achingly beautiful.

[@TheMrlovegoodtimes]

mine to people dont know this song

[@lukepepper3949]

That airplane was Led Zeppelin's, complete with organ, fireplace and a massive bar. Great album and great channel.

[@DJBilodeau]

Fantastic reaction program Harri! I love you delving the genius of Elton and his band in this time period of 1973. Even though he won the title of world music artist of the year in 1974, I really feel 1973 and the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album and tour represents the zenith musically for Elton and his band. Did you notice that Stevie Wonder was on the plane speaking with Elton? Really cool picture of the Stevie when he was getting really big as an artist, having parted ways with Motown and Barry Gordy several years before this. Awesome seeing two musical titans together like that!

[@brucedillinger9448]

Those backing vocals are off the chain! ♥

[@davebzen795]

Elton's "Harmony" is undoubtedly one of his best songs among so many. This was a superb submission. Harri, welcome back and your review was A+

[@beckycourtemanche1088]

For me, this was his best album. Not a bad song on it! Love your reactions! Keep them coming.

[@ernestomendozatheremin]

Agree. !

[@TheMrlovegoodtimes]

why not?

[@freyjabeth4372]

It's my favorite album of his, absolutely amazing!

[@donnadubyak6504]

This is my favorite Elton John song.

[@marybaillie8907]

From "Yellow Brick Road" album from 1973, one of the greatest masterpieces ever produced. "Harmony", B side of "Benny and The Jets", features Elton's haunting vocals, which conveys a sense of longing and yearning for a deep connection with someone. From the wonderful lyrics, to the hook, the precise harmonies, along with Elton's signature piano playing providing a gentle backdrop to his emotive delivery, this song is unforgettably Classic Elton. Great reaction Harri ❤, please take the time to invest in the whole album, you'll be thrilled by it's unforgettable classics. ❤ Thanks DJ for another great tune from Elton's greatest album. Cheers from Canada ❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@donnakubiski5572]

This song is the closer of one of the best albums ever released. Can't wait to see which song on it you react to next.

[@The5thGen]

Absolutely his best album!

[@PatriciaBalderas-x5k]

Elton and Bernie Taupin put some very great music 🎵 together,I will never stop listening to his music 🎼 💙💙💙

[@iandowney4630]

Great artist, great song and great album ❤

[@debbiechang5781]

I haven’t listened to this, often overlooked, gorgeous song for such a long time. What a great choice and perfect commentary. Thanks Harri and DJ Bilodeau 💐🌸✌️

[@robinbradbury6493]

This is my favorite Elton John song. The song just swells....it just fills my soul with joy.

[@ls1959]

Goodbye Yellowbrick Road is a double album with not a filler on the entire album. Every song is strong, including several hits and songs that remain timeless classics.

[@josebarrera932]

Buenas noches. Nunca había oído esa melodía de Elton jhon. Es excelente.

[@Jack1839]

Loved your reaction to this beautiful song and yes, the GBYBR album is a masterpiece!

[@han36solo]

Definitely be a wonderful one to listen to in it's entirety Harri. It's a double album too so enjoy, enjoy!

[@lilybee2955]

One of the best songs of the album by "Mr. Harmony" himself! Only way too short...

[@caryriggs6000]

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was Elton and the band at their peak in my opinion.

[@debragrossbach102]

💯 Harri! Great review! Start to finish "Good-bye Yellow Brick Road," is a signature album for Elton John. I was in highschool in the early-mid 70's. I listened to this double album 100's of times. Honorable mention, in my opinion, is his album, "Blue Moves," which didn't seem to have a lot of popularity in the US (late 80's), but that particular album is distinctive with a different, often more somber sound, but incredible musicianship and lyrics.

[@walterfleury3840]

My favorite Elton song. Thanks for giving this one a go.

[@christineobrien7707]

I've got a song suggestion for you....Friends from Elton John. You won't be disappointed!👍

[@dggydddy59]

Those really early Elton John songs are still my favorites. Friends, Love Song, Levon, Rocket Man, and Harmony. Fabulous stuff.

[@DJBilodeau]

Well, Harri, to your point, the album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" caught my attention as a 14 year old novice music fan and never let go. Some may argue "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" as a counter as his best. No doubt that's a magnificent album, so beautiful and such a biographical theme album. But for sheer scope of the number of songs (GBYBR is a double album; Captain Fantastic is a single) and the fact that just about every track on GBYBR represents musical high points for the Elton John Band, for my personal preference Goodbye Yellow Brick Road edges out Captain Fantastic.

[@sarahzentexas]

High five 🖐️ I was 12, and after hearing Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding one time, I begged my parents for it and I got it. It’s still on my desert island disc list ❤

[@donnadubyak6504]

Madman across the water is also a good album

[@klatre]

Those are the two standouts, but I agree GYBR edges it for me too.

[@Alan-lv9rw]

My favorite Elton song.

[@mysterymac38]

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is one of the top five double albums from the 70's. Harmony is the closing track of the album.

[@supasoulproductions]

Eltons 10 album run from his self titled in 1970 to Blue Moves in 1976 was amazing!! They all made the top ten and went at least gold. Elton John, Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across the Water, Honky Chateau, Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Caribou, Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy, Rock of the Westies and Blue Moves. My personal Faves are Honky Chateau, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Rock of the Westies, but you absolutely cannot go wrong with any of them. There are gems sprinkled among the tracks of his later works, but he never again had such an incredible streak of consistently strong albums.

[@robertmoraga1501]

Great idea, Harri, to do the whole album. Even if you do it just for yourself. Album listening is a great way to enjoy an artist and the only way allowed in my party days with LPs; no dropping needles on tracks! And Harmony is a fitting epilogue to this masterpiece and my fav EJ tune. Cheers!

[@jdenino6022]

Elton hosted a radio show on 99X as a guest dj in 1974 and his fans were calling in to the show to request him to play this song. At least 5 callers requested it. He was affectionately called EJ the DJ by a few radio stations bc he liked to do an hour or two as a DJ. That one was right before John Lennon came to Madison Square Garden for a surprise appearance on Thanksgiving 1974.

[@jdenino6022]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ-so4yQhtiogZYsi=zY6qd8G1dtPKdos6 1974 radio appearance.

[@bkm2797]

Love this album too, played it over and over Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is Masterful! Have to admit that it’s a toss up for me between this stunning album and Madman Across The Water, so many great tunes on it as well. Thanks Harri👍❤

[@keithjones7390]

It's Madman for me, GYBR second Captain Fantastic third.

[@llschnitz]

Featured in the 1973 movie “Aloha, Bobby & Rose”. One of his greatest songs on one of his greatest albums. If you are an Old-Time Elton fan, this is most likely in your Top Twenty, along with at least four or five songs off this album. Love it!

[@bruins5683]

From start to finish it doesn't get any better than "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". IMO.

[@EydeRedman]

I have always loved Elton John ❤❤❤❤❤❤ He never had a bad album 😊

[@garyarnett1220]

GBYBR is absolutely his masterpiece. Yes Harri, give it a listen, even though we'll miss you reacting to other great songs from it.

[@izzonj]

In 1980 the biggest rock radio station had a contest to select the best song of the 80. For a few weeks they played songs against each other, two at a time until one was left at the top and it was this song.

[@sarahzentexas]

I can’t recommend this one enough as a full album reaction. ❤

[@florida52001]

I saw him at Madison Square Garden for the yellow brick road tour. HE WAS AMAZING.

[@kgayda2920]

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was the first album I ever bought.

[@patricklemeur4607]

j'adore ce titre, un album fantastique ...

[@barbarapronzalino2360]

Grande canzone,grande album,grande Elton❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@keithjones7390]

A great finish to a wonderful album

[@lisabenneett4735]

Stevie Wonder, Billie Jean King and John Lennon are all in that video...I love those vintage clips. I was a little girl when this came out..

[@bobdelp2023]

GREAT SONG HARRI OF COURSE💯 AND ALSO IT'S THE FINAL TRACK ON THE EPIC ( GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD ) 👍😊

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

This is a gem at the end of an album, I would have never known if I hadn't owned the album, Audioslave has a gem at the end of their album, it's called GETAWAY CAR.

[@DJBilodeau]

I love rewinds Harri! Rewind as many times as you like-lol!

[@ericanderson8886]

Eltons best and one of the great albums of the early seventies.

[@paulcampbell5216]

It's the greatest album of all time.

[@donw804]

This album is top grade from first track to the last. And that's saying a lot considering it's a double album.

[@craigblack7076]

The "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album is Elton's masterpiece.

[@andyb7942]

"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" was the biggest selling and most highly acclaimed EJ album. It is regularly found on best album of all-time lists. As you pointed out, Harri, it also has wildly divergent musical styles--something I haven't heard from as much on an album except the Beatles (and they had 3 songwriters and four singers). One of the top 3 albums for me in terms of number of lifetime listens.

[@JK_87606]

Thansk for watching

[@wm3752]

Some will say that Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was his high water mark- my personal opinion is that the album just before Goodbye Yellow Brick Road(Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player) is his best- but it's all subjective- I saw Elton John on his Yellow Brick Road tour(about 1976-ish) in Seattle- He put on two shows and I saw him both nights- Absolutely amazing(only $20 per show!)- I highly recommend listening to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road from beginning to end- and also listening to Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player from start to finishing, as well......your friend in the Pacific Northwest(Seattle) Wayne Maher

[@cindystauffer1614]

I hope you will do the album ❤

[@VikingJeff]

I think "Rock Of The Westies" may be my favorite album of his but this is up there.

[@mathewcleary167]

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy is probably Eltons best album without a single less than stellar track but Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is universally hailed as his best

[@DJBilodeau]

I'm concerned with the husky tone in your voice, Harri. Great to have you back, but please remember to take care of yourself-clearly you've been through a lot lately. Nonetheless, I am grateful to be able to witness your reaction to this great Elton John Band song.

[@sheryldalton8965]

Tumbleweed Connection is a relatively unknown album, maybe his first. It has a bit of a country sound. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Don't Shoot Me i'm Only the Piano Player are great albums too.

[@tombeyerlein3813]

Tumbleweed is probably my favorite by Elton. Madman is superb, too.

[@mikejacobs7786]

Harri, I think you like this album as well

[@billmolash6589]

My favorite on GYBR

[@Romft17]

You must listen to to his album '2 low for Zero'.

[@gregj1295]

What an amazing album. Might have had it on an eight track when it came out.Players liked to eat the tapes and you would have to pull it out of the player and sometimes tape it back together.

[@sylc8241]

Love this song. B side to Bennie and the Jets.

[@Ocrilat]

This was supposed to be the next song released as a single, but there wasn't time before the next album released.

[@llschnitz]

Look closely in the video and you will see Stevie Wonder and the tennis star Billie Jean King. Also of course I recognized Elton's manager John Reid, and his band members Dee Murray, Nigel Olsson, and Davey Johnstone. This was made out of clips filmed on the jet that MCA records provided him with to fly to dates on his 1973 world tour.

[@DocRock71]

This is my 2nd favorite Elton John album. Madman Across the Walter is John's best as far as I'm concerned. Capt Fantastic takes 3rd spot for me.

[@keithjones7390]

Absolutely agree, Madman is my favourite with GYBR second and Captain Fantastic third.

[@anthonyjd6097]

This was his greatest album every song sounds great it really was his greatest achievement

[@beachbumsailordude]

"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is Elton's Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. It's Elton's "Pet Sounds". Do you feel me Harri???

[@RickeyWilkersonVoices]

Harmony is a beautiful song from one of the best albums of all time Harri but when you want to hear something from his other albums check out"I Feel Like A Bullet In The Gun Of Robert Ford" "One More Arrow" and "Ticking"!!!

[@roberormonde]

That's the last song on goodbell yellowbrook road. It's short in it sweet

[@alanpeterson4939]

There are tons of albums with a few good songs. There are a few albums I listen to from start to finish. This is one of them. And it’s a double album.

[@paulcampbell5216]

Another golden nugget song suggestion.... Pinky....Off of the Caribou album.

[@timpeltier2901]

👍

[@jjsiegal1]

You need to check out 'Rock of the Westies' ---- Right up there with YBR !

[@dcmtrader]

Your just getting started with YBR. Just go in order, one as good as the next.

[@roberormonde]

Yes if you want to buy an album buy good bail yellow brick road but you probably want to hear him on the reaction channel First. This was when he was in his glory

[@kh2099-z5f]

Its a double album and all of it is great.But if your trying to figure out what one is best. That is like trying to figure out what album is best with some of Led Zeppelin. I personally like Madman Across the Water. And others well pick other albums. Yes he is that good. And can only say. LISTEN TO HIS ALBUMS

[@keithjones7390]

Madman is my favourite, people often mention Tiny Dancer, Levon and the title track, but Holiday Inn and Razor Face are a couple more l really love.

[@lisabenneett4735]

Does anyone else recognize Billie Jean King on the video?

[@williamjones6031]

Deep dive here mate.

[@chrisb4331]

His own band did the background vocals.

[@user-Vegas1]

A favorite album by many true Elton fans honestly, this was his last great album for me

[@paulcampbell5216]

Love this album, but captain Fantastic was a truly great album and it came after this one.

[@StevenCarinci]

Very Cole Porter.😂

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

SOCIAL DISEASE.

[@MJ1]

Stop calling him Shirley.

[@CTPhil]

Absolutely his best album!
