Bernie writes some incredible lyrics...,and Elton pits great music tyo it...
I saw him in concert twice in the seventies. He wore costumes like Donald Duck and he even had costume changes during his concert.
LOVE this WHOLE ALBUM.

Teacher, I Need You
You want to hear a Great , underrated Elton song…. Listen to …Ticking… written about the state of the world 40 years ago but could’ve been written about yesterday !
Elton played this in his set list on his final tour. A great track. Blues for baby and me next please. Or Ticking.
"Elton in his prime singing his soul out!"
So many classic tracks on this album!!
Basically an unknown song outside of the Elton John diehards.....As said....Blues for Baby and Me is the next jewel. This album is fire all the way around.
I first fell in love with this song at age 12 or 13. Listening to it again made me cry. Such an emotional song, such production.
Elton sings this song with more power and abandon than any other of his songs I can think of. And it sounds like he reaches his highest notes ever. Stunning vocals, stunning production, stunning piano, bass and especially drums, and beautiful strings to boot. A masterpiece! And this isn't even my favourite song on the album! Don't Shoot Me is a complete work of art. Just listen to Blues for Baby and Me, Elderberry Wine or High Flying Bird, and this may well become your favourite Elton John album too!
Having said all this, you guys need to finish reacting to Madman Across the Water. You can do the last two tracks together as the last song is very short. I promise you won't be disappointed.
This isn’t just a song it’s like a sonic landscape laid out for us. Nobody and I mean nobody makes music like this anymore.
And we listened with purpose. Have the radio on while you're busy, and play one of these albums when you can recline without interruption. I like new music, but I can't absorb it. With this stuff, you bonded, and had a relationship with it that could last for years.
Could. And did!
Great album cut by Sir Elton! Another great album cut is the bluesy ballad called Blues For Baby And Me😮😊
Don't forget Bernie Taupin. No one was doing the string arrangements like that, either.
One of his lesser known classics. Another is “Ticking”. Great pick!
been a while since I heard this gem. THANKS! Growing up youd put on an album and let it ride and this one is no slouch. Love the soul and the drums were killer
This whole album is over the top produced! Great album
Great reaction guys! Phenomenal song from Sir Elton. He included this one in his farewell tour. They killed it live. So good!
Love this whole album
Literally gave me goosebumps. Thanks for reacting to this song...Great album! ❤
Nigel was one of the best pocket drummers of all time. Same with Dee Murray on bass. Deep pocket.
Boy, I had forgotten about this song! Wow…thanks for recommending/reviewing it. Need to pull this LP back outta the stacks 👍
One of his best for sure. Thanks for reacting to it ❤
He picked this song to sing live at a show a few years ago. Could tell most of the young people never heard of it. My favorite John songs never made the radio.😊
Guys it’s cool that you listened to Billy Joel and Elton John the same time, the two best piano players in this generation
Great reaction guys!!! I haven't heard this song in years... I grew up an Elton John fanatic. He was the man. Another great song from this album is, "Blues for baby and me."
One of my favorite songs by EJ...The solo by Davey Johnstone is So underrated..
The version of this from Live in Australia is incredible. If I ever invent time travel I'm going to one of those concerts... ( After I go back and invest some money....)
You can clearly hear Leon Russell's giant influence on Elton John. Listen how Elton combines a British brand of gospel with Leon's very soulful country tone.
Early Elton is just on a whole other level...seen him live in the 90's with Billy Joel, been listening to his music since I was a kid in the 70's.
Damn, I haven't heard this in ages. Ive got the old vinyl album too from way back whe n. Gotta get myself another record player!! Thanks guys.
deep cut, guys! Love it!
Davey, Dee and Nigel - the core EJ Band - perfection every time.
All the girls love Alice
On GYBR
Don’t Shoot Me..’ was arguably his best work
The late great Paul Buckmaster on orchestral arrangements ❤
This was never at the top of the earlier Elton John albums for me, but there really are some great songs on it. Elderberry Wine is a particular favorite of mine.
Can’t imagine life without Elton…
You guys are on a hot roll. 🎼🎶
Brilliance.
Got the LP then cassette then CD now digital download have been a Elton fan since day one
Guys. Elton’s first ‘band’ was called Bluesology. Its shows!
Goodbye Yellow Brick, Don’t Shoot Me….and Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy are great cd’s/albums. Played the hell out of them. Elton became more polished/formulaic after the 70’s. I enjoy your reactions and know you have an appreciation for good music regardless of the genre.
AHHHHHH YESSSSS, NIIIIIICCCCE!!! 💯RIGHT ON LAH & CHE, YOU SHOULD LOVE THIS FOR SURE! 😊
Just when you think it’s cooling down he adds another element in there
Awesome...!!! Uncovering great music...!!!
Like everyone in the comments said you cannot go wrong with any early Elton John song. He was a force…
Elton John is great beyond words! I love your reactions and I've got one you should check out. Bruce Springsteen 1978 Live Prove It All Night Thrill Hill Vault. I think you will really like it!
Blessed to have Elton and Billy on the same day. Thanks Guys!
You 2 have become my favorite music reaction guys!..... Love You.... So genuine 😉
Thanks very much. That was great.
Blues for Baby and Me off the same album is the top 10 single that never was.
the version from Live in Australia is impressive
Two of the best rock piano men back to back today, these guys even toured together in the 90s
This is Elton john I remember..
Never heard this song before, but you should hear Elton's two beautiful songs from Lion King if you haven't already - The Circle of Life and Can You Feel the Love Tonight?
That was amazing loved it. Thank you.
Let me say, that individually, YOU DA MAN! Thanks so much for the great audio, it sounded great! And thanks for doin my request! Please tell me you got my box of rabbit holes?
Damn that was good! Like the guy below my comment, goosebumps baby!
Excellent request
Hey pretty Sandy! Sorry i called you a guy! Can you ever forgive me?
(batting eyelashes here)
@@uncletom618Lol...I think I can do that 😊
We got the box of goodies!!! Thank you so much. Cant wait to go through these cds.

Music Reactions are no longer enjoyable because of Donations Only.
Thank you so much for staying true to Sub’s!
Great song - Genius !!
Midnight Creeper on this album is one I hope you cover.
favorite artist, so good
Sooo Cute You Brothers are ... 😂
You gotta do Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy. It's about Bernie Taupin and Elton.
Great song. Try “Country Comfort” next.
Skyline pigeon - piano version am i waiting for
Nigel Olssen on lead
Yep. Early Elton is awesome.
Good stuff....guys please do " I THINK I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF!" Man, Elton John was so on fire when he was a suicidal, bulimic, drug taking alcoholic haha, I know it's not funny though, but he was a genius during that period. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight.." is also great, and based on a true story!
Hey guys I suggest Etta James - I’d Rather Go Blind ( Live At Montreux 1975)….. an amazing performance.
GUYS! Great choice! REMINDER: Paul Simon- Mean Individual Stranded in a Limousin
After further pondering, I realize that Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player marks Elton's shift from his original, rootsy, acoustic, soulful sound to his mega popular, processed, glitz period. Don't get me wrong--it's still great music and I love it and Elton. But it's not the same, and I prefer Elton John through Honky Chateau. Just listen to those mega-compressed drums. They are awesome and dramatic, but not the warm, complex, acoustic drums he had. As I heard it, Elton wanted to change his sound and did that, to great success, eventually firing all of his original band. For me, nothing matches the composition, production, honesty, soulfulness, and bravery of Elton and Bernie's early work.
Still, this is an awesome album, with the first of his string of glitzy mega hits, including Daniel and Crocodile Rock. All the best!
Midnight Creeper and High Flying Bird are 2 other GREAT songs on this album before pomp replaced substance with Elton.
Okay, this is where Elton, IMO, begins to turn away from his rootsy, soulful, voice-and-piano early period, and towards the glitz and electronic production of his popular peak. For me the more chaotic, compressed, glitzy production masks Elton and Bernie's strengths--pithy, moving lyrics, composition, and performance This album, and the ones that follow it are still great and classic, but IMO a step down from his early period. This album is still great, and closer to his early stuff. For me, his classic period ends with Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy, the story of Elton and Bernie's early days, and includes Someone Saved My Lift Tonight. Hope this is interesting--it's great fun for me, haha. I appreciate you.
F the criminal
Bernie writes some incredible lyrics...,and Elton pits great music tyo it...
