This version has nothing not to like… great vocals by Elton, the harmonies are quite beautiful, the instrumentation is marvelous. The song itself is a jewel. And the vibe in Central Park on that day was joyous. I wish I were there, but at least I can appreciate it now on video.
Yeah, for certain...was just thinking his voice is probably at its peak in his career around this time... just so strong...and his piano playing is just friggin stupid good...
These performances at Central Park in the 80s are no doubt my fav ones. Sounds fantastic. Outfit on point. Can really see how handsome Elton is. Crowd amazing. Everything is just good in these concert videos there. So peaceful.
I love this song. It reminds me of my aunt Jeannie. And I thought this particular concert. Elton's voice was really strong and well rested. I wouldn't mind having this show on DVD with the others I have on DVD. :)
So just finding this tonight. Playing it so it will stay in my mind all night. I’m in love with this song and I’ve never seen EJ look more handsome. That part, “I’m so in love, I’m soooooooo in love,” gets me in the feels every single time. I want a love like that.
My family is on this, the balloon that says Elton loves Mandi (my niece) sadly my sister and niece have passed. We were part of history, when life was simple... 250,000 people enjoying music in the park.
RUclips time machine takes me back, again. What wonderful years they were. As I grow nearer my end I appreciate the little things so much more. Be peaceful.
My all time favorite musician at the absolute peak of his considerable talents!!! I've seen Sir Elton live four times bet 1988 and 2022 and he was at his apex during the summer of 1980 at the Central Park performance before a half million fans.
Elton's 1980 tour is definitely my favorite. This is a great performance of Little Jeannie...it sounds so much better than the studio recording. It would be nice to hear this one played on the Farewell tour....
His voice is NOT ruined.Just because he doesn't sing falsetto anymore? His voice when he sang this as well as his voice now is beautiful. He 's lucky he can still sing and perform as he does today. Be grateful.
We saw him a few days ago, & I just realized with all his AMAZING SONGS , WE STILL STILL SHOULD BE AT THE PERFORMANCE, Elton in concert is AMAZING at 72, couldn't image him in his 20's.
Elton rarely performs this song for some strange reason, this 1980 tour and One Night Only as noted below. It sounded great with a Saxophone (john jorgenson) in ONO. Probably no chance he will ever play this song, he gets very stuck on his setlists and rarely changes. Same with "Nikita", for some reason he has forgotten this song too.
Elton said this is a nice little song but it doesn’t perform well live..so that’s why he doesn’t play it live anymore..I personally think it’s one his best
@@nikita-dh5je Your recommendation to view the 2000 live performance of "Little Jeannie" was spot on! What an amazing performance. I'm 48 and I could listen to Sir Elton John for hours on a road trip, and have...
Essas músicas que nos fazem voar sem sair do lugar... Sinto um aperto no peito. Saudades de um tempo que nunca voltará. Felizmente temos artistas como Elton John para nos confortar e manter essa lembrança boa na mente.
Such a phenomenal voice this man has love this song singing the words got me through many a painful night concentrating on the words made me forget how much pain I was in ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Legendary performance, this is the best version of this song. Elton John and his musicians deliver an incredible performance musical and vocal. I could listen to this song over and over again.
Please please please perform this song live AT LEAST one more time. I dont think it has been performed since 2000 "one night only", it is such a great track and it deserves to be played among with many others of Eltons more underrated songs.
Agreed. I'm not sure why he doesn't perform it anymore, it was a #2 single in the US after all. It's only been played on his 1980 tour, and at the "One Night Only" concerts in NYC and the warm up concert for that in 2000.

Elton John forever in my heart 2024...
A time when there seemed to be more love in the world. God I miss those days.
Oh,..me too.
Absolutely love this song! Makes me happy! 😊
I wasn’t a fan at the time but liked his earlier stuff, but now it’s sweet to me. This punk girl has mellowed
Best song he ever did. ..how beautiful. Classic
That live version was just plain excellent.
Love the backup singing.
Incredible performance , his voice at that moment is just exceptional.
Elton is such an underrated vocalist imo
@@mickyjones8500 Kinda true, he is so bloody good pianist that it grabs all the attention.

1970 WHEN I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM❤❤
Literally came out 1980, best 80's song ever
I do believe Elton John took advantage of the gift God gave him.

Only 43 years ago! Just amazing!! ❤
Early 80s a great time in music to be alive. I was alive 69s 70s and 80s it was great
These performances at Central Park in the 80s are no doubt my fav ones. Sounds fantastic. Outfit on point. Can really see how handsome Elton is. Crowd amazing. Everything is just good in these concert videos there. So peaceful.
That's exactly what I thought too. His voice is great and well rested and he looks good also.
Mariah Smith and no damn cell phones!
65motowngirl haha yeah and I’m come from a generation where everyone is all about social media. I was born ‘99

There is no such things as Cell Phones but there are things called mobile phones
I love this song. It reminds me of my aunt Jeannie. And I thought this particular concert. Elton's voice was really strong and well rested. I wouldn't mind having this show on DVD with the others I have on DVD. :)
My brother in law died too young recently. This was his favorite. I'll get a Mass said.
Sir mister Elton John ❤2024...
I was in the front row - closest person to Elton!! Slept overnight to get in early...so many memories!

What a pretty and adorable woman ,hello my darling ?
So just finding this tonight. Playing it so it will stay in my mind all night. I’m in love with this song and I’ve never seen EJ look more handsome. That part, “I’m so in love, I’m soooooooo in love,” gets me in the feels every single time. I want a love like that.
I would marry him in a New York minute...LOL
How I wish I would have been there!! Thanks RUclips for not letting us forget the magic of the 70's.
It just dawned on me how handsome Elton John was and also he was blessed with his beautiful music and very talented God bless your man
Elton songs brings back so many fine memories.
This song came back to my memory just today via who knows why...beautiful, peaceful, melodic and so in its time. Nostalgic in volumes!
He is a musical genius, I am so happy that we still have him. 🎵❤️🎶💖🎵🎶💕
What a great song! Nice video!
Somehow this doesn't seem 40 years old. His style is way ahead of his time!
Indeed its still relevant. Just as great as ever
He was actually 33 in 1980 ;-)
@@SwissRod70 no he was 21
@@Infoloader Wasn't he 21 at 33?
Peridot the Pinball Wizard ....Nope..EJ was born March 25, 1947...He was 33
I just love this look on him. It's so adorable!
My favorite Elton John tune...and always had been!
Same for me 🎼🎹🎶🎵
Elton John is a true classic rock and roll artist 🎉🎉. His music 🎶 🎵 will definitely be his legacy 🎉🎉
A girl of the 80s growing up.
Can't best Elton for memories ❤
As a boy the same girl !!
I always say this is my song when I hear it playing. Its actually spelled just like my name jeannie. Love it.

Glorious. EJ's voice in strong form...and those back-ups!
Such an unforgettable concert. So lucky to have experienced this.

One of my favorite 80s songs
I freaking love him❤️💜💙❤️💜💙❤️💜💙🤗😘
So' much talent and magnitude of great songs from him. Great backgrounds voice too
Just absolutely 💯 love Sir Elton!!! He's fabulous and extremely talented musician!!!!!!
This song was played at my Aunty Jean’s funeral, it gives me goosebumps more than ever now!
I love your songs, Elton John.😍😍🎹🎸🎷🎶🎺🎼🎤👄💋❤❤❤
This is live Elton at his best!
Wow always wondered who sang backup on this song. Had no idea it was the very same musicians. How talented is that. We don't have this nowadays.
Captain Fantastic!
cant believe this aint on his greatest hits album. im 39 and elton john is a legend
Its on his Diamonds CD's
Elton's 1980 tour is definitely my favorite. This is a great performance of Little Jeannie...it sounds so much better than the studio recording. It would be nice to hear this one played on the Farewell tour....
Considering he was coming down from a decade of excess in the 70s he sounds incredible
Michael Frazia in this performance???!
I'm sure he could play for close to 5 hours with all these hits and some deep cuts that aren't really remembered anymore.
His voice is NOT ruined.Just because he doesn't sing falsetto anymore? His voice when he sang this as well as his voice now is beautiful. He 's lucky he can still sing and perform as he does today. Be grateful.

Essa canção fez parte da minha linda juventude, começo dos anos oitenta, mais que demais.
Loving 2024 AWSOME HALE YEAH
Elton rarely performs this song for some strange reason, this 1980 tour and One Night Only as noted below. It sounded great with a Saxophone (john jorgenson) in ONO. Probably no chance he will ever play this song, he gets very stuck on his setlists and rarely changes. Same with "Nikita", for some reason he has forgotten this song too.
I love this song and Nikita! Elton John had such a great voice and it felt like he was signing about how I was feeling as a teenager.
Elton said this is a nice little song but it doesn’t perform well live..so that’s why he doesn’t play it live anymore..I personally think it’s one his best

i wish I could hit a million likes, such a beautiful performance of a fantastic song.
Well done Rocket Man!!
Elton will always be the original "Rocket man".
OMG what a find! I'm happy!!!
Eltons music is amazing
Please please please perform this song live AT LEAST one more time. I dont think it has been performed since 2000 "one night only", it is such a great track and it deserves to be played among with many others of Eltons more underrated songs.
Agreed. I'm not sure why he doesn't perform it anymore, it was a #2 single in the US after all. It's only been played on his 1980 tour, and at the "One Night Only" concerts in NYC and the warm up concert for that in 2000.
Elias Sandgren I would love to see him do a couple concerts of nothing but bsides and album tracks. Just a couple times to have forever on dvd.
Completely agree. It's his most neglected song IMHO. One of my favourites of his. He sounds fantastic in this version too.
He played this in 2008 when I saw him during the Union Tour he did with Leon Russell
The version in NYC @ MSG is off the chain! Elton and the band sound amazing!
Excelente 😁🎉 pequena jane.. em português.. Brasil
Como o Elton John era lindo....
Brings tears to my eyes when I hear it, and now after a divorce it's the song I listen to. My new girl girlfriend and future wifes name is Jeanie
All the best…good luck!
This is by far my favorite song with my name in it and I’m holding out still for the day someone feels this way about me ❤️ she sounds beautiful!
Can I just say!?! Elton John in the 80's...amazing, but WOW!!! that guy on roller skates is fabulous! 3:46 He'd be a legend on Tiktok now, for sure!
