Shown in under 14 minutes what an incredible genius he is. This piano improvise is amazing, and damn his voice, what a voice. One of the greatest musicians ever.
@@bobsmodelrailways Consistent with your comments on other other Elton videos, about being a chord merchant who never learnt as well as you, Anyway despite this he seems to have done alright
That voice, Those lyrics, and the piano skills are a magical combination. How many artists do you know that can touch your sole with just their voice and one instrument. Not many.
EJ is so funny and talents, such a masterful command of the genre and chords. He KNEW this is a jesty lyric and could use some funky tempo, but he purposefully made it melancholy.
Great piece of entertainment. I remember watching this when it came out and being completely in awe of elton johns talent, to make up something like that with the random lyrics.
if elton did vocal warmups he probably couldve gotten rid of that rasp when he hit higher notes. Sounds really good with lower notes still. And it's not like the concerts where he sings this song after singing for an hour straight.
Fox piano he does look very young here even had Sunday to you still looks young and he never had any work done he didn't need it cuz he's so beautiful I'm still standing
Matthew Murray Sorry about that. It wasn’t intended to mean that he’s ugly and old now or anything... just an observation. I hope you enjoyed the clip!
In fact it might not be his piano - looks like a C7 not the 9ft Cfiiis. Plus the black keys didn't quite look as though they had been reshaped which they are on his touring pianos. Hence maybe the slightly different sound set up?
His voice is still listenable. Changed a lot, yes. He's 72 now and still strong in Ballads. His deep matured baritone is amazingly strong. I think he still sounds great.
Watched this a couple of times, Elton is pure genius.💕💕
That, ladies and gentlemen, is what you call talent !
Elton is the best! And I love when he appeared on Michael Parkinson's show. RIP, Parky.

Any musician worth his salt can do this. It’s not “genius” by any means.

@@mwrmwr655 He’s been very lucky for sure.
I don't see you up there amazing us with your sheer talent.😕
@@bobsmodelrailways if billy joel says hes better at playing the piano than him, then i think its true.

Agree. *soul
Verdade!!!!Ele é Único!!! Ele é Especial😍🙏😍
he's interesting as well to talk to he never gets boring like some artist he funny witty and brilliant
Elton John can do fucking anything
He's written so many perfect songs even if he doesn't think he has.
Your Song is not even my favorite of his, but it is certainly a perfect song.
He could sing the phone book and ld love it
Poop! You took the comment right out of my mouth! Cheers!
:-) klasse Kommentar und richtig noch dazu! :-)
He sung an Oven Manual Once
The man is otherworldly. He also is the biggest music fan in the world, he lives and breathes music. Just a wonderful person.
This video show his genius
Elton is a genius with a huge heart.
God bless him. 🙏🙏🙏
EJ is so funny and talents, such a masterful command of the genre and chords. He KNEW this is a jesty lyric and could use some funky tempo, but he purposefully made it melancholy.
I think all your songs are perfect Elton
I'm gonna get kicked in the teeth for this, but... I wonder if Elton realizes just how much we truly love him....?
Taron Egerton said that after Elton performs, he has asked Taron "Do you think I did a good job? Do you think they liked it?"
Great piece of entertainment. I remember watching this when it came out and being completely in awe of elton johns talent, to make up something like that with the random lyrics.
Elton's Sewer Song was 1000% better than the rubbish that's served up as music today
I want more of this!!!
In one word. Legend
Just brilliant.
My all time favourite song
Fantastic performance
この ドレスアップ 素敵です 歌も もちろんのこと 素敵
Interesting hearing Elton’s piano with a Kurzweil sound rather than his usual sound.
Makes it seem like he got Billy Joel’s piano by mistake. 😂
Literally had this conversation with someone just now - I remember when this aired and thought ‘huh?’
What a rendition!
Crazily talented man.
Rocket man is fantastic fantastic Singers of Elton John l love so muth this song!!!
WOW!
Brilliant.
Such talent...wow
7:45 Rocket
Excellent
Wonderful.Thanks for the time you put into finding and uploading it.
+nickweems24 No worries you welcome
Have fun listening to Blue Wonderful this week!
+MrDazzlesNZ Do you have the full show?
EJ, you DID film score in the past! Friends
Epic!
What is the song called at 2:25
Don’t Dilly Dally on the Way - Charles Collins
There's more than usual of the acoustic sound on show there not just the sampled piano
Sounds more like a Kurzweil piano sample to me... not his usual setup.
@@eltontothemax Yes I see what you mean. Sounds a bit more like Billy Joel's recent set up
@@homeone4054 spot on. I'd bet it was a pc2 module at the time, not Elton's rig.
@@eltontothemax Did EJ ever use other modules in the 90s/ 2000s for his solo shows or was it always mainly the Roland?
But the black keys have more curved ends (one of his bespoke modifications) so I imagine it is his piano just a different sound set up
What is the song at 2:25?
Don’t Dilly Dally on the Way - Charles Collins
What the melody he played before Rocket Man ?
I'm ready how long
... grooooßartig 🤣🤣
Can anyone Please tell me the name of the tune Parky sings along to?
My old man said follow the van
Does someone can write what elton sings about 5 minutes coz sounds funny....
Unhapply my english is poor. More one Brazilian in space with elton
+Josimar Maia The banks they burst with the downpouring rain and there's something unpleasant and it's blocking the drain.
I'm italian, and I have the same problem.. thank you😆
@@francescaferriani4185 my God... 7 years after someone saw. ;D
6:36 please I wanna know that chord 😂
C going into a C6
if elton did vocal warmups he probably couldve gotten rid of that rasp when he hit higher notes. Sounds really good with lower notes still. And it's not like the concerts where he sings this song after singing for an hour straight.
2:23 what is the name of the song?
Don’t Dilly Dally on the Way - Charles Collins
I think even he himself was impressed with that.
Wow he looks young here
Fox piano he does look very young here even had Sunday to you still looks young and he never had any work done he didn't need it cuz he's so beautiful I'm still standing
Matthew Murray Sorry about that. It wasn’t intended to mean that he’s ugly and old now or anything... just an observation. I hope you enjoyed the clip!
@Matthew Murray he was in his 50s at the time. he meant that he looks real young for 50.
With that hairstyle that Elton John has he sure does look like the young Chuck Norris
Elton RIP
Do you know what year this was first broadcast?
Robert Kushner late 2000 around One Night Only release
Thank you!!
This doesn't sound like the MKS-20...
Sounds more like a Yamaha module plus a bit more of the actual acoustic sound. Guess it's all quieter than in concert so not such a feedback issue.
In fact it might not be his piano - looks like a C7 not the 9ft Cfiiis. Plus the black keys didn't quite look as though they had been reshaped which they are on his touring pianos. Hence maybe the slightly different sound set up?
@@homeone4054 I'd put money on that being a Kurzweil rack module - it sounds like Billy Joel's piano. Definitely not Yamaha.
@@eltontothemax Just saw this...having noted your comment on my other comment!
(Although the key end shaping started later on I think..)
cut him some slack his elderly your voice changes when you get in your seventies
How lucky we’ve been to have the young Elton and the Middle Aged Elton and coming into the years of the older Elton
I'm thinking I like his voice now as much, if not better, than his youth at times and this is one of them.
Last time his voice was listenable...
Let go of your anger--Elton would want you to, my friend.
jrod1986 it’s listenable to people who are willing to listen
His voice is still listenable. Changed a lot, yes. He's 72 now and still strong in Ballads. His deep matured baritone is amazingly strong. I think he still sounds great.
Mabey his voice is deeper but it's not bad
jrod1986 and how lucky we’ve been to hear that voice for so many years
