    Saw him perform this in Jersey today, the entire show was amazing, Davey Johnstone was phenomenal during his solo here. Definitely gonna look into his stuff.

    Elton sounds much cleaner than previous years due to a long break. Hopefully his voice will hold up for the rest of the tour.

      I watched the 2nd show at Houston and sounded a bit rough. Due to his age and not enough time to rest his voice between shows it might wear it out a bit but not to the point where he can't sing. So far his voice has held up really well on the FYBR tour.

      He does and I agree - voice was rested. At 74 however, I would not expect it to sound as fresh with the heavy tour schedule he has, especially. Still, he does pretty well singing with what he has to work with.

      @@dogpd3 I was at this show. I went into it thinking he wouldn't sound very good due to some of the videos I had watched. I knew he wouldn't sound like he would on the CD's because...guy been singing for 50 years. But, I was very pleased at how he sounded live! He was excellent. I hope he delivers the same performance for you in September that he did for me on this night. Best live performer I've seen.

    He improved his style of singing again, sounds great. The long break seemed to be good to him. There is probably no other artist in the world with so many different voices through the decades like Sir Elton. He always adjusted his style to fit his current vocal range, not like so many other old singers who still try to sing in the same range as they did 40 years ago and sound terrible.

    Thx for posting this I didn't look at the song list before hand cause I don't wanna spoil myself I'm really glad he played this. It was a great experience but it was really funny when I watched the video more than him and he was half across the stage threw me for a loop. But still couldn't beat the experience of crocodile rock live that was top notch

      @@robertainmentstudios9533 My opinion,is if you look at the set list(and of course may change in time), it's shorter in length.
      Performing "Indian Sunset" requires a lot of concentrated energy,and effort and after Elton only had his hip replaced 3/4 months ago probably decided not to push it too much.Though from the videos I have seen Elton still seemed to give it 110% on stage,quite remarkable really.

      @@Michael64425 Indian Sunset isn't a song Elton always does live anyway. I don't get why he's stopped performing Daniel live though as was on his setlist every year until 2020 and is very well known song. He may alter his setlist on the future stadium shows he's doing.

      @@jaggass Very true as regards as Indian Sunset.Plus 100% Daniel should be back in the set list also as a great song and a hit for Elton.
      I have accepted on the Farewell tour,Elton is going to play a static set list and am sure will enjoy it greatly.
      If time and health allows ,it would be great to see Elton play whatever he likes in a smaller, or one venue set of performances.Elton has alluded to this and says this in his written introduction to the Jewel Box CD
      set.
