  • This is some of the original footage of the GBYBR sessions at the Chateau in France, from the Goodbye Norma Jean documentary. This is
    one of the best scenes from the documentary as they listen to a mix of Danny Bailey.

    The real Elton John Band - Murray, Olsson and Johnstone. Nothing before and nothing after. RIP✝️✝️Dee Murray. What a shame you aren't around and on stage with your bandmates anymore.

    Dany Bailey has that Elton John magic sound to me. It used to be played scarcely on the radio here in Brazil, and believe me, I kept my receiver on just to hear it again and they never played. Then again, I kept doing this to all his newly released songs for I immediately fell in love with it at first hearing.

    One of my fave EJ songs! Total classic! Interesting sound without the orchestration and background vocals. Thanks for this!

    GYBR was my first LP and EJ at GSO Coliseum '74 was my first concert, I remember seeing this doc on TV around that time. I love his music as much or more today, and his original line-up was as good as any band in rock.

    Prior to the Del Newman score! The secret sauce behind many Elton recordings. Paul Buckmaster had arranged everything up until this point like a master, and Del did a fine job

    I agree. Elton has a melody in this that is fun to sing along with loud. I also like the next album track "Dirty Little Girl" a lot, my fave. His voice is so powerful in that one. They were so lucky to have Elton in the band. He had good talent around him, but with out Elton's vocals and melodies, you have no songs. I wonder if they realized how special he was then.

    The studio listen is sweet but obviously staged. According the band and Dudgeon, the LAST person you wanted around after recording was complete was Elton. He'd get too bored and restless. God bless that little genius.

    • @preesi1403

      Elton has to listen to the finished songs! Why wouldnt he? The village of Herouville at that time, was so sparse. There was nothing there. It was just the Chateau surrounded by farmland* . There were 3 buildings on the Chateaus property, One was the studio, the other was the dorm house with bedrooms and communal eating and living areas. The 3rd was shed and lodging for the workers. They booked The Honky Chateau (as ppl now call it) for 3 weeks but only used it for 2. All the wives and GFs and John Reid were there with them. So Bernie would be holed up in his dorm room with Maxine. Hed write some lyrics, Maxine corrected the spelling and went down and gave them to Elton. Elton wrote the music near the kitchen window and then theyd walk to the studio building and record it and then sit around and listen (what you see here) then EJ would go get Bernie and make him listen. EJ says he LOVEs seeing Bernies face.
      So Id say this was accurate.
      *Go look at the gatefold of the Honky Chateau album, The picture of Bernie was taken in the cornfield across the street from The Chateau.

    Who is Ray Williams? Do you mean Ray Cooper? If so, EJ hasn't done anything to him. They're working together in the Vegas show as I type in May of 2012. Incidentally, Reid and EJ were lovers in those days and Reid actually worked very hard to keep the EJ Express rolling smoothly.

    Also a way to hear the song without the strings and stuff.

    • @ActionMediaProductions
      @ActionMediaProductions 7 лет назад

      chenlung1 agreed, but it makes you appreciate them, and the backing vocals.

  • @chenlung1
    @chenlung1 15 лет назад +2

    The only thing missing is synthesisers (strings) - they would later be added in the UK I believe.

    • @ActionMediaProductions
      @ActionMediaProductions 7 лет назад

      chenlung1 no synths. Del Newman describes how he arranged the strings on the making of GYBR DVD.

    • @chenlung1
      @chenlung1 6 лет назад +1

      Action Media Productions you're quite right! I don't know what I was thinking; maybe other tracks.
      Anyway, this mix seems to have no backing vocals either.

    • @ActionMediaProductions
      @ActionMediaProductions 5 лет назад

      chenlung1 Love Lies Bleeding may be the only other song with synths, unless they’re buried deep.
