I love how Elton can just play a G7 chord and everyone in the audience immediately knows what's coming.

[@JamesonDunphey]

You can tell they've been waiting the whole night.

[@adriamaral300]

It’s just one chord! 😂

[@KyleCourounis]

In most live versions, it's actually a Gmaj7 with the added 9th and 13th - I always play it this way, sounds so much fuller.

[@GavinLiamLogan]

Sh0o7erMCTV I don't. His voice is so much more nuanced, fuller, and richer. By far.

[@mhtube01]

Sh0o7erMCTV He did have a great falsetto but I like that he recognizes his limits and doesn't strain his voice and sound horrible. I hate when musicians do that as they get older. Paul McCartney does it and he sounds terrible anymore to begin with.

[@jamesmanley9414]

+mhtube01 Correct, he sounds good here, a lot of hair metal bands still touring try to capture that high note falsetto in their late 40s and it sounds awful.

[@mhtube01]

Yeah tell me about it, I don't know why they even try. You hate to see some of the great singers lose their voices but it happens with age. Although there are some old guys out there that still sound great after all these years.

[@aidanfaith5508]

dude i think the same way lol

[@gr8b8m8jared7]

You know yourself, the circle pit comes from the vibe you get from the music. As odd as it might seem I'm sure Elton John had plenty of influence in the metal genre. Lol What i really mean is fuck yeah, bro. This has '09 As I Lay Dying at Warped Tour vibes. High energy as fuck. Huge metal head myself but also just an all around music lover. Cheers, bud!

[@davemitchell116]

[@mhtube01]

I have this CD, it is by far one of the best live recordings I've ever heard. The audio quality is excellent and the balance of the instruments and vocals is perfect. It really captured what it's like to see him in concert, and the audience is LOUD! The CD still runs great too after hundreds of plays! I've also seen him in concert twice, once in 2008 and the last time in 2011 on his 64th birthday and he and his band are one of the two top live performances I've ever seen. The other is Earth, Wind, and Fire.

I was a 29 year old Registered nurse assigned to private duty care for a Army veteran who had just returned home from service in Port Aux Prince Haiti.

[@patriciagrandjean8205]

Y’know, I wonder if anyone else has mentioned this already, but having just seen “Rocketman”-in addition to loving a lot of these songs for decades-has gotten me to thinking about Bernie Taupin. I wonder what it was like being a struggling lyrics writer, hoping you’d just meet a competent composer who would want to turn your ideas into song-and winding up finding a mini pop Mozart who just hit ‘em out of the park again and again, whether they were deep or “silly.” Somehow, I don’t think even winning the lottery would measure up to that experience. I’m not trying to imply that Taupin isn’t gifted in his own right-and clearly Elton loves his work. But still . . . wow.

[@agapereign]

Bernie was a gifted writer and John was a gifted composer. They needed each other. John couldn’t write lyrics to save his life. Lol
