[@mirokyu]

My FAVORITE Elton John song. Great song!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting it!

[@mausmausmaus1]

"And I think it's gonna be a long, long time, 'till touchdown brings me 'round again to find, I'm not the man, they think I am at home" Love that part!

[@kitsundesu]

Truly magnificent. He remains my favourite musical artist. What extraordinary talent, a man to be admired.

[@elitept]

What a wonderful performance! Been listening to Elton Johns music since the late 60's and the songs sound just as good today as they did way back then. The man is a true Rock legend!

[@RocketManof06]

Love the ending. Love the beginning. Love the middle. Love the song. Love Elton. Love his ability when he's sitting at a piano. Awesome song!

[@stevenslouie]

How cool can a song be?! This is absolutely one of Elton's greatest and all his works are trememdous. Thanks, Sir Elton.

[@mirokyu]

This song and this video never gets old, no matter how many times I watch it. Sir Elton John is truly a legend, one of the greatest musicians of our time.

[@tlm1962]

I am speechless... his piano solo gave me chills. I could listen all day long to his talent. The version is a little different then what i remember but how amazing he still is. He is even better with age. LONG LIVE ELTON JOHN...

[@Ptrrrrrrrr]

Awesome song. I'm not even a large Elton John fan, but you can't deny; he has a gift. I especially fell for this song. Enchanting. 5/5.

[@RobyMilan]

[@straitnickel]

This is amazing, I hope this video is always here so i can come back to listen again and again

[@wayneherries]

Agree bro its just a top tune love it:-):-):-)

[@SibGirl01]

I've been looking at the different versions of this song( him in the 70's; this one) and no matter how old he is, he is still golden. I actually like how rich his voice has become over the years. Beautiful.

[@StoriesThatNeverWere]

This is my favorite version of the song. Usually, live music isn't as sentimental. But Elton John can put such emotion into his performances.

[@Jeevesandkeys]

Bring back the love. This is a fantastic song along with all of his songs, bring back the memories so everyone can enjoy em.

[@eusoulegal6]

Best piano man EVER! and one of the best singers.. Elton John is a genius,with wonderful but simple songs,elton john is,today,maibe one of the greatest singers ever... thumbs up if you agree!

[@billycuw]

[@arod2222]

i would love to see this man in concert.. he is one of the best musicians of all time, and his music is timeless

[@TheTravisTube]

This is my favorite version of this song. The fills he uses here fit together so well.

[@krokoacascarla]

Sir Elton, one of the most outanding musicians of the 20th century. (Standing ovation)

[@MaryMRevis]

Elton ...heavy cold and sore throat for this performance???? MAN YOU DA BOMB Homey!!!. Thank you for still performing even when you are sick sweetie!

[@hiflysi]

I just saw his one man show in New Plymouth, New Zealand. He is simply irreplacable. May he keep performing as long as he can! Great effort EJ.

[@palmerLIVES]

i saw him last year and during this same he totally changed the key and made it totally jazzy and bluesy. We didn't even know it was the same song until he started singing again. It was absolutely amazing. Elton john is a legend

[@aandkforever]

Such a powerful song! Beautiful music, beautiful lyrics!

[@wowgeekpot2]

Elton John R.I.P? The legend that he is is still rocking as well as he was 30 years ago, I went to see him play in Carlisle 3 weeks ago and he blew the entire crowd away. Sheer legend :-P

[@OneOutOfManyMore]

Much loce for Sir Elton John. He is will indeed go down as one of the best musicians of all time.

[@GiorgiJam]

The voice is perfect! Performance is wonderful! People, it's a real masterpiece, believe me... just close your eyes and listen.... :)

[@kuihpisang]

He makes love like its something you can hold and touch....He makes the hearts of people shine....He makes everybody in the world feeling like their in love...HE IS THE LEGENDARY ELTON JOHN!!

[@ariacurva]

Brano di una dolcezza struggente ed eseguito magistralmente dall'autore. Grande Elton!

[@fistfok]

This is a fucking great song... It's so powerful. Makes me shaking inside. John & Taupin are real poets. They finded themselves and they work so perfectly together. Genius !!

[@vdbdg]

just saw his one man show in Tokyo and his voice was stronger than it's ever been and his piano playing simply mesmerizing. Really amazing show

[@keithmoon29]

Watching this song (always an Elton gem for me), live on A & E was just about the best 10 minutes of a crummy year in Pittsburgh. (Go Browns) World Trade center was hit only days before this performance & I was still in shock while watching this. What you don't see here is the women making the request in memory of her late husband who lost his life on 9/11 as a NYC fire-fighter. She tells Elton it was his favorite song. What drove me to tears, occurs at the 6 minute mark when he adds the man's name (Peter) into the song. How cool is it, that for the rest of her life, she can replay this (if strong enough?) & hear a musical legend call out to her husband! While Elton has lost a lot of range in his voice, he makes up for it with his fan-first approach to performing combined with his wonderful (and one of a kind) piano style. Look at all the tears running down the faces of the crowd. I remember how powerful this concert felt for me at least. While this was very moving, nothing will ever touch THE WHO @ Madison Sq. Garden for all the NYC Fire-fighters, police, and other brave souls who gave their lives on 9/11. I'll forever have the image burned on my brain, of about 4 policemen in full uniform paying tribute to lost comrades. They all have their arms around each other, drinking beer ,singing along, & doing "windmills" with Pete Townshend to Baba O'Riley & Won't Get Fooled Again. So much pain to release and Rock n Roll appeared to be the perfect remedy? Too powerful for words....go watch it!

[@rabbyraptor]

probably the best performance i've ever seen with elton john

[@kenmusi]

Elton is so fantastic. His solo piano is .....super!

[@mapper38]

WOW!!! He is just the BEST! I love this man.

[@markozeus]

A great artist... Nothing to say... One of the best of all time...

[@chinorthsidefan24]

J'adore Elton John. Il est vraiment une chanseur fantastique! Et j'aime cette chanson

[@mirokyu]

Sir Elton's a legend. Great song.

[@easemailbox]

How many of us are rocket men? (or women) I know I am. Such a tremendous song. One of the all time greatest artists on earth. Some of the audience is near tears, so to am I sometimes when I listen and reflect on some lifestyle cfhoices I have made. Thank you Elton.

[@Scarfaceba]

Que maravilha de musica! Penso quando poderei assisti-lo pessoalmente. Seria um grande sonho !

[@j5353]

he is wondeful, unique !they say the artist is a mirror ! Part of the job !

[@metal1985]

I had the privilege to witness this song live a couple months ago, and I must say, Sir Elton John was incredible. This song was amazing, as was a nice 7 minute piano solo (improvisation?) he did.

[@yingandyang12]

please dont get rid of this viedo it awesome and you cannot idd the classics.

[@doggieGZ]

one of the best songwriters of our time

[@glasgowrus]

I remember this performance, he had a major cold and sore throat but did not want to cancel the show. What a trooper! Luvly Jubbly.

[@Deeprive]

This really hits a sentimental note.. thank you John... so much

[@Megadave4life]

hells ya, everyone luvs Elton, his one of the legends in music

[@straitnickel]

Listened to this about ten times now. My god it's good.

[@murphy2034]

you rock Elton! Thanks for your music.

[@js58246]

I'll have to agree that his music is some of the best. Coming form the younger generation, in my 20's, most peers think it odd that I know and like this music, but it will long out live some being produced today. Only wish I could develop more on his style of playing, def. a legend.

[@KBGUY09]

i'll see them both at the end of july. can't wait. they both are great pianists and singers.

[@mushthehill]

Kickin' aass. This stuff will never get old

[@f1nxlife1]

it doesnt get any better than that,,,thank you Elton,,,,,

[@mactheartofwarfare]

The Greatest Melody Writer Ever In Popular Music

[@MajorAwesomeD]

this song makes me thing about life itself alot, ty elton

[@MissTrixie1]

This is my favorite Elton John song EVER. I have made it my mission in life to meet Elton John. Wish me luck.

[@gpeddino]

Amazing rendition. Elton's piano playing is awesome.

[@ליאורליאור-ג6ד]

הוא זמר פשוט ענק! הייתי בשתי הופעות שלו, כשהוא הופיע בישראל. ב- 2010, וב- 2016. הלוואי שהוא יבוא עוד פעם לישראל. הוא פשוט אף פעם לא נמאס עליי, היוצר הגאוני הזה. :-)

[@dontfryyourbrain]

Elton truly is the best... And he will be as high as a kite

[@dantean]

Hearing him do this at a traditional gospel-ballad tempo is amazing!

[@yingandyang12]

Thank you for posting this video Elton John is a nice guy.

[@elitept]

certainly, Elton Johns voice has changed over the years. I guess all performers tone of voice changes with age and use. But l am soooo impressed with this performance. He seems to have accepted the changes and adjusted his style accordingly. I think the standing ovation at the end says it all! Elton, my dear, you can sing this song in any tone of voice you like because Rocket Man is still going to be one of my favourite songs of all time.

[@mirokyu]

The man is a legend. Great song, great vid.

[@badjee121]

makes me fly whenever i hear this song....i miss the earth so much i miss my wife is such a thrill to hear....

[@tornadomk3]

Elton John is simply FANTASTIC.

[@ruffeil]

Eterno Elton...eterna música (Rocket Man)

[@juradecanoa]

it s great.he had imaginated in 70 s... that we would be slaves of our speed machines, computers etc...i play that song at the beach where i live....i was only 12 years old ...when i listened that great song!

[@watchwhatever]

no question, the man was a genius, he will be missed. R.I.P

[@vidiveniviciDCLXVI]

His voice is so perfect now he has lost his higher voice but gained so much power in his deeper voice love hearing him sing so much more now then I used too.

[@tonyrivers]

I'll just ignore some of the daft comments posted. This is an excellent re-working of one of his greatest songs. Saw him do this in concert and was blown away!!!

[@LSMITH2905]

"I'm not the man they think I am at home" - what genius lyrics.

[@justin22g]

this is one of the best songs ever written

[@mitocrow]

buena la canccion,ayer estuvo Elton en CHILE en el Arena Santiago....grandeee,BIG MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Stuuuu]

His voice seems to have changed in the last 20 years and I like it better in ways... which is odd, usually the age diminishes voice... but with Elton John (and the lead singer of the foundations to name another) it just got better... terrific

[@fishpeeps]

one of the greatest song writers ever

[@pablo5285]

Elton un grande, lo fuí a ver a Boca, un genio!

[@Boonasty33]

The improv in this video is astounding, I aspire to be able to play like Elton John some day..

[@rldelande]

My favourite song - pure magic!

[@viclennard]

This is the only video I've found that gives a good idea of the acoustic guitar tuning and chords - thanks!

[@theunderwearguyisbac]

Elton John Rocks! He is a legend ..

[@Steadno]

Cool guy and he really is a living legend!

[@dantean]

Elton doing the "soul" version of his own song! Amazing!

[@g8rman05]

Like wine, gets better with age, incredible!

[@bushbasher85]

Elton did this show Live by Request just weeks after the 9/11 attacks and a woman whose husband was killed in the attack, requested this song as a tribute, just makes this all the more powerful.

[@MasterEled]

Brian Johnson from AC/DC has a high singing voice and he rocks, if you choose to dislike them too that's your choice but he is straight, as are many rock artists with high voices, whether you like it or not your reasoning is not flawless.

[@EngelBros]

my brother's name is Rocket and our family always has a smile on their face when they hear this song. And i think its gonna be a long long time, touchdown brings me round to find, im not the man i think at all, Im a rocket man.

[@bbbnit]

BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!! 5 STARS!

[@JHTeshima]

Sir Elton Jhon......He & Jhon Lennon The Best Ever !!!!!

[@KakaCarlo]

Brilliant! Just brilliant!

[@wazzup828]

one of my fav songs by elton john

[@snoovy19]

Oh no, this song is about the moments of self awareness, acceptance that a grown man comes into when he realizes he can't be all things to all people. The recognition that a man is essentially on his own, separated from home, women, friends until touch down. These lyrics metaphorically describe a verity of the masculine nature.

[@CristianHahnemann]

This is the best version!!

[@alfriendo2008]

Nine minutes, thirty seven seconds of pure genius.

[@KilllerX]

:'( *sniff* I always loved this song. RocketMan The is a legend and an Insipration to all. (at least thats the way i see it. he is a good guy at heart like many said. And he really is one of the best Pianists.

[@Nfordmann]

this song gives me the chills, especially when turned up real loud

[@spliffaofficial]

I first heard this song on Californication. I forgot all about it, until just recently watching Nip/Tuck and heard it....Awesome.

[@StephanieWittling]

I Love this song

[@JoeLaTurkeyIII]

Elton's piano playing has improved so much!

[@johnlemmon]

he's on in brisbane on Sunday, hope i can get tickets...great artist...
