Russell Harty Plus Pop 1974 Elton and The Who

Please don’t EVER delete this gem. One of my favorite Elton tv appearances in the prime of his youth. So much personality comes out in this, he’s such a lovable character. Not to mention his voice is effortlessly gorgeous here. Also these glasses are transcendent, true fans will appreciate ✨

Don't forget Davey, Dee, and Nigel! They were a HUGE part of Elton's success!

this outfit is awesome. elton is a mix of living toy, pet and a fairy. i don't know how people survived back then because they weren't allowed to catch him and take him home

[@jdenino6022]

Green plaid pants and dyed orange and green hair he really was a living Muppet ❤

[@jdenino6022]

This is utterly fascinating how he styled himself back in the early 70’s Also I think that the seamstress from the band made that outfit. ❤

There's no better time than the early years... Sir Elton John has been the soundtrack of my entire life since 1972. Blessings to him cos'he's still standing after all this time!

Elton love your music, this song has a special place in my ❤️ heart, I named my son Daniel, after this beautiful song. ❤❤❤

[@jeanettegault276]

One of his best years❤

The Who segment originally aired January 6, 1973. The hilarious interview he refers to was included in the documentary "The Kids Are Alright."

[@bone_apple_teeth457]

The way he said “elTON” that was so funny

[@cherrygirl18285]

Omg what a babe 🥰

[@maddoxsika9085]

I love his hair dyed

[@zigner]

I agree with the other poster. This is probably from 1973 not 74. 1 - Elton didn't wear those glasses in 74, and 2 - The Who wouldn't be promoting Relay in 74 when it was released in Dec 72. 1973 seems much more likely.

[@jimmartinsongs]

It's 100% 1973, judging by the song he's promoting here (Daniel), his wardrobe and hair style.

[@magorzatapiotrowska3943]

Baby in 1973 notv1974

[@gaminglegend]

Damn, his hair

[@pinoapina2212]

Сколько у него очков? Было за всю жизнь и есть сейчас!!!?

[@thestorysongsnl9397]

Its 1973 not 74

[@zigner]

The glasses would indicate 73, yes.

[@vincevirtua]

What if the show is ‘74… but a compendium looking back at ‘73..?

[@geldofpunk32]

I hate miming

[@Bottled-Soap]

The vocal is live, just the backing track is what they are miming to. Very unfortunate

[@Bottled-Soap]

@j.denino5732 oh because it’s different from the studio version. 😀 Also that’s not an organ that’s a Fender Rhodes electric piano, there are flutes though
