what a great pop song! he makes it look so easy. this song was such a HUGE hit in the mid 80's. laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder, under the covers. great lyrics. and to have stevie wonder playing a harmonica solo on your song is some pretty sweet icing on the cake. btw, billy joel is a badass!!!!!!
And while I'm away Dust out the demons inside And it won't be long before you and me run To the place in our hearts where we hide... I cry at night but it doesn't help...
I have been a fan since I was 8, I am now 37 and will always be a fan, does anyone like 11/17/70, I love the album, but I really love "Bad side of the moon.
I've seen both EJ and BJ in concert both recently and the 90's. Elton's piano playing is a level above Billy's. I love Billy, but it is what it is. Elton - even in the 90's - is just a better live singer.
@24fraze i'm sure if billy joel was asked he would say elton is a big influence on his career....weren't too many pianist rock stars back in the 60's 70's
Don't wish it away Don't look at it like it's forever … Between you and me I could honestly say That things can only get better … And while I'm away Dust out the demons inside And it won't be long Before you and me run To the place in our hearts Where we hide … And I guess that's why they call it the blues Time on my hands Could be time spent with you Laughing like children Living like lovers Rolling like thunder Under the covers And I guess that's why they call it the blues … Just stare into space Picture my face in your hands … Live for each second Without hesitation And never forget I'm your man … Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps But more than ever I simply love you More than I love life itself … And I guess that's why they call it the blues Time on my hands Could be time spent with you Laughing like children Living like lovers Rolling like thunder Under the covers And I guess that's why they call it the blues … Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps But more than ever I simply love you More than I love life itself … And I guess that's why they call it the blues Time on my hands Could be time spent with you Laughing like children Living like lovers Rolling like thunder Under the covers And I guess that's why they call it the blues … Laughing like children Living like lovers And I guess that's why they call it the blues Laughing like children Living like lovers And I guess that's why they call it the blues … And I guess that's why they call it the blues
@@nathanzondlo7393not necessarily true, he kept a good chunk of his tenor tone until about 98, where it started to darken due to overtouring, like what happened in 86, he was fully a baritone in 99

what? lol he still sings the same notes - he's still a tenor... anyone hitting A above middle C in full voice is still a tenor. He just lost full head voice which I think he can still do sometimes.. if you here him live and listen to funeral for a friend he'll use his head.
well i guess. but if no camera was on him, then they couldnt go to that in the final edit right? i dunno, either way, someone should have payed more attention *shakes fist*.
Ok Elton started as a session player. Billy Joel has employed session players fact!! However Billy Joel is a solo artist. Elton only writes the music his partner writes the lyrics. In conclusion who's better is dumber than blue is better than red!
@trysomethingnew23 Yeah, but he doesn't write any of the lyrics so I guess you have to credit Bernie Taupin every time you credit Elton... Whereas Billy Joel does the whole lot.... So all you're listening to here is Elton's music...
My favorite Elton song since I was a kid.
Same
Best live version
what a great pop song! he makes it look so easy. this song was such a HUGE hit in the mid 80's. laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder, under the covers. great lyrics. and to have stevie wonder playing a harmonica solo on your song is some pretty sweet icing on the cake. btw, billy joel is a badass!!!!!!
This marked my childhood so much! I remember my mom listening to it and myself reading a Spider-Man comic in the living room.
The amount of times I have wanted to live in the 70s and see him live
Now you can see him live in his 70s😉
When music reached its peak !
Laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder under the covers:). That's some sick shit! Song has got groove in spades!
His buddy wrote the songs and Elton wrote the music
@@stevenfifield7667 Elton was co-writer with Bernie Taupin
Elton `john is a living legend, this is my favorit version ever!
Pure drive 🤘
You can't fight it but to accept this song with Eric Clapton band is make it your fav version..
I can never listen to Elton John without thinking of Simba.
Listen to that voice! God, thank you for Elton.
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide...
I cry at night but it doesn't help...
I simply cannot wait yo have grand children so I can introduce them to 60, 70, 80’s music!! The BEST MUSIC AND ARTIST EVER!!!!
Such a great pianist he's underrated as a singer
actually, he has two Grammys for vocals.
300 millions sales just of hes voice
THE MUSIC OF MY LIFE! I LOVE YOU, ELTON JOHN!
Elton was on fire literally
Hot
Probably my favorite Elton song, excluding the 71-76 hits. Long live Sir Elton John!
I think comparing elton and billy is like comparing flowers - its pointless!!! Both are amazing musicians!!!
היי, אני יודע שעברו שנתיים אבל לא יכולתי שלא לשים לב לתגובה שלך, חח מה הטעם בכלל להכנס להשוואות. כמו עם פיל קולינס ופיטר גבריאל.. בשביל מה חח
bur Elton John is the Venus Flytrap! He devours other plants and species that came in contact with him! (in raw talent)
Yep
Don't wish it away. Don't look like it's forever.
Linda DEMAIS essa MÚSICA!!!!!
Love this song. Love Elton!
Elton John ....with Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler thrown in. Happy to die there !!!
Wow, the old Roland RD1000... awesome stage piano
Simply beautiful. Mr. Taupin, thank you.
doesn't write his own lyrics, he always does write his music :)
And never forget I'm your man!!! Xo..love you Elton!!!!
I guess that's why they call it the blues é umas das músicas de Elton John que mais adoro!
É muito linda, irmão. TMJT!
uma bela canção e uma voz maravilhosa que vá em frente
It cannot get better❤
Its amazing what 1 man and his piano can create!
2 technically 🙂 (Bernie taupin)
@@tomvonbraunsberg yep, but Elton Has also wrote some of their songs.
beautiful song by my favorit singer & komposer
I have been a fan since I was 8, I am now 37 and will always be a fan, does anyone like 11/17/70, I love the album, but I really love "Bad side of the moon.
FUCK YEAH MARK KNOPFLER!!!!!
Amooo..
He's one of a kind. Make the most of it!
Unique I think would be my description.
Without Taupin there is no Elton John. But... damn, what they made together!
Elton Have also wrote some of his songs...
I AM MOVING IN WITH ELTON TO LEARN PIANO
I've seen both EJ and BJ in concert both recently and the 90's. Elton's piano playing is a level above Billy's. I love Billy, but it is what it is. Elton - even in the 90's - is just a better live singer.
Billy is a better performer. Elton is stuck at the piano. Billy is all over the stage and into the audience, playing different instruments.
I love elton john
I LOVE ELTON JOHN
And He keeps getting better.
@upperup its 2011, everyone has forgotten about billy joel, Elton John is a LEGEND.
It's 2018 and Billy is still selling out concerts. He hasn't made an album in over 25 years! Forgotten? I don't think so!!
he is the best.......saw the show
God he's so plump and dreamy
Just yes
So unbelievable
Música da mulesta dos cachorros,ôôô saudade da mãe das crianças
Fantastisch sir elton
@24fraze i'm sure if billy joel was asked he would say elton is a big influence on his career....weren't too many pianist rock stars back in the 60's 70's
I saw him in concert; there were hat changes, along with costume changes. I think this might be his 'Sir Elton' hat...
Magic!
I LIKE THIS ONE
Pretty cool..thanks for posting it "rockermad"
Camera focuses on Mark Knopfler for the entire Clapton solo 😂 "there's a guitar... must be him".
The number one!!!
good show. dont wish your life away
Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
… Between you and me
I could honestly say
That things can only get better
… And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long
Before you and me run
To the place in our hearts
Where we hide
… And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder
Under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
… Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
… Live for each second
Without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man
… Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever
I simply love you
More than I love life itself
… And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children

Damn bro
THEY CALL OK LET ME SHOW MY HAND 🎉😊
Wholy crap this is what music is all about.
Julio Linares honestly. I just watch in awe
This is good for some reason it sounds like his 1982 voice.
He went full baritone the following year after having nodule surgery.
@@nathanzondlo7393not necessarily true, he kept a good chunk of his tenor tone until about 98, where it started to darken due to overtouring, like what happened in 86, he was fully a baritone in 99
nice hat
What's wrong with the Cameraman? Eric Clapton playing the solo and no camera was pointed to him? He didn't even seen closed up on this video
Agreed!
Missing Alex Thompson! Marietta..Ga...God"s Open door...
Don't wish it away

the queen more like
Dear Elton,
You are the most AMAZING ever! You're my hero! Period. End of story.
your loyal fan,
bluejeanbaby =D
WELL OR WILL LORD IS LOVE ALL JOIN IN PRAISE LOL
the back up singer in red looks like amanda jenssen in swedish idolXD
I think billy joel is probab ly more popular in the US than Elton, but that Elton is probably more popular world wide...
Elton is the better piano player by far, or have you ever heard Billy improvise on one of his songs live??
He is a composer, he does not show off. Check out his Master classes videos. He does classical concertos that he wrote!
who are the 2 back-up singers( should have seen more of them)?
If I listen to Elton live, I like to go back to the 80s when he had a great voice. Don't listen to recent stuff, it's too disappointing.
literally?
was that mark knopfler on guitar? looked like his finger-picking style there!
Whats funny is that he looks way older 20 years ago than he does now. It's mainly the white hair
Mark Knopfler na area
does he have white or blonde hair in this video
[gasp] how is that ridicalus? hes amazing..ok, so maybe their like equal
is that chester thompson on the drums?
It's Steve Ferrone.
Where was this?
why he gave up of piano?
There's a lot of videos of that era, 87 - 92 or something like that, he just uses keyboards.
did he dye his hair?
Gringalhada chata da porra, a musica é foda!!!!
Essa música é maravilhosa!
what? lol
he still sings the same notes - he's still a tenor... anyone hitting A above middle C in full voice is still a tenor. He just lost full head voice which I think he can still do sometimes.. if you here him live and listen to funeral for a friend he'll use his head.
wtf... knofler on guitar!!! damn
well i guess. but if no camera was on him, then they couldnt go to that in the final edit right? i dunno, either way, someone should have payed more attention *shakes fist*.
How he could play this without Dee Murray (RIP✝️✝️✝️) and Nigel Olsson is beyond me. It's a disgrace the way he treated them.
What are you talking about? Nigel is still in the band
EJ is one of the few people who's had the same players since the start. Dee Murray left the band because he DIED.
This was a gig he sat in with Eric Clapton & Mark Knopfler on wtf
Nigel was not at the gig in this video, and Dee died in 1992....four years after this video was taken.
Ok Elton started as a session player. Billy Joel has employed session players fact!! However Billy Joel is a solo artist. Elton only writes the music his partner writes the lyrics. In conclusion who's better is dumber than blue is better than red!
amazing he enthrals me, thats why i do a tribute show to this man w w w eltonjohntribute dot co dot uk
stevie wonder plays on the recorded version
yep..2 low 4 0
LOL! Billy Joel dreams of being on the same level Elton floats on.
stupid camera man didnt put it on clapton when he soloed.
@trysomethingnew23 Yeah, but he doesn't write any of the lyrics so I guess you have to credit Bernie Taupin every time you credit Elton... Whereas Billy Joel does the whole lot.... So all you're listening to here is Elton's music...
someone help me stop spamming n00btubes...
He did. Elton was in quite a bad state at the time. Lots of drugs and alcohol.
so what if hes gay/. hes second only to billy joel
Big Elton john fan but this is the way it is,Billy Joel is the better piano play but elton has the greatest songs ever written
I CALL “IN” INVISIBLE NARRATOR THE LIVING GOD OF THE 13TH TRIBE OF ISREAL LOL. 😊
My god! This comparing ist so ennoying. Next time you are measuring the frequences trying to find out whose voice is better.
