@@danieleromei1949 Idk, this is fine for fast songs but his performance of "Yellow Brick Road" at the same concert isn't great, speeding up that song doesn't really work :D
It actually started out at normal tempo for a split second and it just kept getting faster. I'd love to see how many bpm's it increased. The studio version is 150bpm this must have wound it's way up to at least 180bpm. I bet his heart was'nt far off that as well.
I loved this concert,found it in '87 at our local video rental place must have watched it 10 times over 3 days performed in the summer of '84 at the old original Wembly Stadium
I went through the same thing Jess. Ive been a fan of Elton since i was 12. ive seen him ten times. i had front row the last time and it was amazing. You just appreciate good music and an amazing talent.
I loved this song since I was 12 years old and had it on 45 record with Elderberry Wine on the b side. I love all his performances including the one on the Muppet Show!!!!
Man I wish I saw him live hes Awesome. I found out I share the same birthday like 30 something yrs apart learned some of music on flute he rocks with or without the coke lol crazy performance. Far and between for seeing him without glasses watched roketman like 8 times he had a case of Prescription glasses it was the coolest thing all the crazy glasses lol
Crocodile Rock Amava muito ouvir essa música linda. Com 15 anos eu te admirava. Hoje continuo te amando e com a mesma admiração pelas suas músicas. Obrigada gloriagoulart 2/08/18/
Finaly someone who gets it the original is to slow. This makes it more fun because his pianoskills in 1984 are 200% better than the time when he recorded the song!
"Here's a performance of Crocodile Rock where the technical director was on just as many drugs as Elton was." As distinct from the 1984 Cup Final where Elton John's Watford players were on tranquilisers. God, we were crap.
Nigel did well to keep up with Elton. Usually the drummer is the timekeeper but the roles were switched that night and when the coke kicked in the excitement happens.

This has got to be the most 80s editing of alll time!
I agree with you. I mean this was 1984 and this editing style seems appropriate at that time.
@@aspoopyartboi9204 Or a template for a terrabad Powerpoint Presentation of Death
In my health class at school... teacher wanted to show us the effects of cocaine and I showed the class this video...
I got extra credit LOL
Ha ha.
That would have made me want to use cocaine.
Unfortunately after that half the class wanted to to meet Elton John and have a cocaine party with him lmao *smh*
That's what I should do lol
/r/thathappened
The comments:
50% "Wow, he was high"
50%: "Wow, everyone else was high"
I think this was the best I’ve ever heard Crocodile Rock!! He should’ve re-released it in the 80s!👏🏻
the transitions holy shit the transitions im dYING. its genius
This performance was brought to you by Pablo Escobar.
yep, clearly..lol! Elton loved his fish scales.
Nah he had pharmaceutical grade coke. Better than ole pablos hes off his rocker 😂😂😂🤣
We have to thank pablo by the way.. Elton was at the top here.

Indeed. Holy shit.
0:17 Cokeadile Rock. Elton plays 30 bpms faster on coke and the band has to catch up haha. I love this.

This whole concert is wild. Bennie and the Jets was nuts.
love how suddenly the song gets faster.
I'm 20 and I absolutely LOVE Elton John. My friends don't understand why... Well, I don't understand them!!! This guy is awesome!
Coke-odile Rock. Yesssss.
Underrated comment lol
Hahaha
Why are you such a dumbass
soooo fast, because of COCAINE, but i love it!
He sounds out of his mind.
+Michael Burke Ive never seen anyone on cocaine , look like someone press the fastforwd button on them.lol
+MADAICCHICK 90's rocked Life probably feels faster on it lol. It certainly made Elton play at lightning speed.
yes it does.
Michael Burke lmfaoo
The biggest kick he ever got was at 0:17.
👀
👄
bruhh I pissed myself laughing at this!
Elton John was and still is the goddamn BEST!
Think Elton had some blood in his cocaine system
Evidently, do too you.
@@jacobmonks3722 I am so late to this, but true! 😂
was at this concert..........great
salute 🤙
Anyone else thing the fella who is doing the effects here was on quite a lot of LSD, Ecstasy and probably more cocaine than Elton him self?
i wish his voice hadn't of change he was on fire 1984
This is one of those greatest performances of a particular song ever type of things and it's hard to listen to any other version afterwards isn't it?
dat face at 0:17 is amazing
william rivera Dude this is the best comment on youtube hahaha
He honestly looks like he's slapping they piano at some points xD
Sometimes he would hit the keys so hard his fingers would bleed.
There’s another vid from 80’ where after the first 5 seconds he just misses every note and its noticeable
Flyboie Blair link it
@@davidglass589 he never did 😢
@@Glopbop hahah
Sounds great at 1.25 speed. Oh...
De todos los Live de esta canción, está versión siempre será mi favorita ❤️❤️❤️
I loved this concert,found it in '87 at our local video rental place must have watched it 10 times over 3 days performed in the summer of '84 at the old original Wembly Stadium
Tony Carter the best show elton's done.
I've watched this like 10 times in one day haha
I love that sort of bum shake at the end
He is a genius!!! Great song

The best Elton John performance ever and also the best time for a hint of coke ;)
These special effects are funny and amazing
Best performance of sir Elton John

i like that the songs are faster adds some edge to it
The best concert of Elton John
Amo muito
That face at 0:18 looks crazy funny!! 😮
Lol
ELTON JOHN IS AWESOME!!
Weeeee, very 1st record I purchased with my own money, a vinyl 45...I was 9, good times.
EL TÚNEL DEL TIEMPO, LO MÁXIMO
This performance has brought to you by... DRUGS.
if u like this, check out bennie and the jets wembley 1984!
Just as much needed.
I lost it when Davey started harmonizing!
Wow! This crocodile rocks! :D
lets be honest, this song should have been recorded at this tempo in the studio
Finaly someone who gets it the original is to slow. This makes it more fun because his pianoskills in 1984 are 200% better than the time when he recorded the song!
No way. It does not groove at this tempo.
@@jeanpaulvandergugten6632 It was even faster than this in 1982.
Here's the problem. You need to do okay on studio versions, so you can improve and get messed up live
So fassstttt drugged and drunk but love this la la la la la lahhhhh
3:29
OMG! ELTON'S HIGH!
Every 60 seconds in africa a minute passes

what effects I didn't notice any
0:18 the face of cocaine
Thank god for cocaine, it's brought us some of the best live performances. God bless cocaine.
But ruined SO many lives in the process
Zalbar84 I Hope that nobody in your family get addicted to drugs because If it happens you will grieve deeply
?????????
@@laodiceiasilva4770 Pretty sure the cocaine comment was mad as a joke..
@Alexander Dawson And come on now..Just cause Elton's rockin,doesnt necessarily mean he's blasted on booger sugar..:)
0:18 thats when the coke hit for sure
hahaha like he became possessed
and when he does bennie and the jets he is speeding his tits off
Bob Robie oh I didnt see that one yet, this looks like a great show though.
i bet it would be i had a good time watching the whole thing while i was drunk lol
Bob Robie i watched most of them now that I can find, one show I'd like to take a time machine back and go see for sure!
Das gute , alte 80er Jahre Kokain!!!
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Gran Sir Elton John viene a Perú yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!
it's only the part of the legendary concert live . bc has uploaded the whole concert .
about 37 on here he looks well for 66
ON THE ALMIGHTY'S GRAVE WE WILL WRITE:
HERE REST IN PEACE AN OLD POTTSAU!
HE WAS MUCH MORE LIQUID THAN WATER!
HE WAS OVERLIQUID! FOR EVER!
Hell I think the drummer was on something too. He keeps the pace of the song
Nah, he's just good ole Nigel Olsson.
Nigel did well to keep up with Elton. Usually the drummer is the timekeeper but the roles were switched that night and when the coke kicked in the excitement happens.
I thought Elton was great! He's so cool. I wish I could see him preform live!
Christmas in Elton's nose
Fucking class mannnn
good point...what does IMO mean?
❤
If you play it at 0'75 for parts it sounds like the original version
@cclda 100% agree
Put in 75x it sounds normal
ELTON JOHN - EL ROCK DEL COCODRILO
This was as good as Queen’s 1986 Wembly concert
A.T. M very true
Joseph Prince this and Elton’s 86 Sydney entertainment center concert
Queen's show was much worse than this
Assuming you're talking about the famous 2nd night
does anyone recognize the band playing with him?
The edits at 1:52, it got me
Somebody could lose their breath singing this lol
Cristiano Ronaldo or pass out from the white powder lol
Playback speed 2x, I dare you.
oh yëah yeah it makes it more funny
OK as you wish
La ...oh la la la la la...oh la la la la la...la la la la la la OH YEAH!
Bruh holy shit
0:14 Quick pinch of the nose
sounds like the drummer cant keep up with Elton lol
Cocaine's a helluva drug
@tweeber69 Fred Mandel was the backing keyboard player on the North American and Japan Hot Space tour in 1982, does that count? ;)
2:08 James Hetfield would be proud of those down-strokes!
if you think the director was high, check out the guy doing the lighting rig 2:50
very speed
I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
when your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got
burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
when your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will

Lol this was so fast 🤣🤣😭😭
at 3:11 the drummer failed but after one measure he recognized it and turned to right beat :D
The beat is supposed to change slightly there. Listen to the studio recording, it does the same thing.
Just before that WTF face at 0:18 he gives the nose a bit of a rub which probably explains said face at 0:18, lol
Of his face! And all the better for it!😂😂
If u do it at 2x speed it sounds cartman singin
Hello World😉
Watch at 1.25x :p
What are those Transitions 😭
Dont see great COKED OUT performances anymore
