The biography of Elton John in this movie Rocket Man, touched my heart in an inexplicable way, I felt an inner sanction, that when we got to the car with my wife I started crying and I felt my chest sink. I do not compare myself in any way with this great man, but my childhood is marked by rejection and contempt. Thank God look at this great movie.
Edgar, there are a lot of us out there. I'm 70. My wife and I saw the movie yesterday. I teared up when they played parts of Yellow Brick Road ever so slowly, just on piano and then same again on violin. Had to be consoled by my wife. Painful memories just below the surface.
Dude I was just rewatching this for the hundredth time and today I was really drawn to drummer/realized how insanely good and underrated the percussion is in this
I feel like it’s more of a neutral ending. A “good” ending could have been basically the same, but instead Elton does not lose his vocal range and has his voice age normally. Not saying it was necessarily a bad thing his voice deepened in 1986, but for the sake of the “good ending” meme, that seems more appropiate.
I was about 8 years old when I first heard this song. Now I am 58 and still listen to it like it was the first time. There won't ever be another quite like Elton John!
When I was about 11-12 years old, I remember being at my cousins house and hearing the beginning notes of the Honky Chateau album. I was forever hooked!
Gawd, there is NOTHING like listening and seeing the legends from their early performance, so pure, yet the sound quality and vocals WITHOUT AUTOTUNE are amazing. There were so many talented people in the time before electric fake auto tune music destroyed real music. Very few people can sing live on stage and maintain the pitch and tone like EJ, plus write his own music (with the amazing lyrics help from Taupin). Makes me so sad, these legends are fading with no one to replace them. I remember seeing EJ live in the 90s on tour with Billy Joel (another legend) and Elton sounded exactly the same then as he did from this 1972 performance. God bless musicians! I've always been in awe of real musicians and how they come up with the music.
Wow! That's one of the best live versions I've ever heard him do. Really amazing recording quality for 1972. And his performance here really sparkles, too!
I was 17 when this was recorded and I was madly in love with Elton John. Fifty years later and guess what? I am STILL in love with Elton John. Seen him live five times over the years. He just gets better and better.
I turned 60 in April and i was 10 when this was recorded and i appreciate it more now than i did then--and it was my favorite song then. What a treasure Elton John is, not a local or national treasure--a priceless historical artifact for humanity.
My wife and I had the privilege of seeing this "GREAT" musician perform a few years ago. Two and a half hours of his music and it wasn't ENOUGH!!! Thanks Sir Elton John for "ALL" the years of your music. It is "UNTOUCHABLE"!!!
I built a sound system in my home and a theater system, spent 30k. When I listen to this song it's hard to explain how good it sounds. I can her eltons lips part between words. It's hard to listen to him and not get emotional. One of the greatest musicians of all time, a true gift to humanity.
well it is same for me but am seeing his tribute about next Friday in Blackpool the clothes that am going to wear for it is Elton John shirt and plan trousers / Elton John hat and Elton John hoodie but am really really excited to see it
Yeah saw him in Atlanta in 71 Yellowbrick Road tour. I'm 65 and remember it like it was yesterday. One of the best shows I have ever seen and I've seen alot.
Just seen the movie and my eyes burned with tears sometimes; other times I felt like jumping up and dancing; mostly, I felt really happy watching a great movie with an actor who really touched my heart. Now I can't get enough of Elton's music.
From Brazil: The performance of 'Rocket Man' by Elton John at the Royal Festival Hall, London, in 1972, is an exhilarating masterpiece that captures the musical genius and passion of Elton John. His powerful voice and passionate delivery make this version a truly memorable and timeless experience
The late great Dee Murray on bass, Nigel Olsson on drums and the uber talented Davey Johnstone on guitar. This band had a huge impact on me as a musician.
this is so good it is incredible. He was amazing when he was young like this. Absolutely clear, strong and focused. He's still pretty cool, but this was the stuff of gods...
I was there, saw him in 1975 at Dodger Stadium, the concert depicted in the movie. Many years and litterally hundreds of concerts later, that one stands at the top
Saw EJ twice in the early 70's. He opens with Tiny Dancer. Later he introduces a new one called Crocodile Rock before it was even recorded. Them were the days. Never again Im afraid.
Just a gorgeous song. If anyone ever wonders or questions why Elton John is so popular, just show them this clip. The guy was on another level, vocally & instrumentally.
Elton John had the most beautiful timbre of all tim before his throat surgery. That's why he became a superstar all over the planet and 5 billion people didn't.
He the 4th highest selling artist of all time only behind the Beatles Elvis And Micheal Jackson, and dude STILL making relevant music smh absolute legend
Thanks for letting me fall in love all over again with his music. I loved the movie - that is why I am binge watching my favorite guy. It's been a long long time.
God bless Elton John. His music is timeless. And Bernie’s of course with his amazing lyrics. I never tire of their music. Elton is so young and handsome in this recording.
This was recorded two years before I was born. Three weeks ago I heard him perform this live in Cork and I'll be damned if the vocals weren't as good, if not better! Elton John, International Treasure.
I'm 18 and this video was released 48 years ago because I appreciate, adore, worship, crave the music taste like this. I'm so glad, thankful I found Elton John.

This performance was two months before the album was released, so this is likely the first time anyone in the audience is ever hearing this song.
wow
Not too often a singer sounds better live than on record...Elton is a legend always and forever
Absolutely false. So many bands and singers sound like, oftentimes better, than they do on record when playing live.
This live version is just as good as the studio one...

Absolutely! Sounds like it's straight outta the studio.
Can we just appreciate for a moment the piano playing.
I'm thinking that too! He's like Aretha, a solid gospel sound.

Few artists can sing live and sound better that the studio version. He did it.
Freddie Mercury is definitely one of them few 👌
dont forget about bruno !!
John S Elton John, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, etc etc all sing just as good live!
Especially the pop singers today
James Hetfield back in 86-92. Sang live WAY better than studio version

Struggled on some notes
@@AreMullets4AustraliansOnly Well -no artist is ever going to perfectly imitate live what they do in the studio

The band deserves recognition also for this. The drummer is fabulous
Dude I was just rewatching this for the hundredth time and today I was really drawn to drummer/realized how insanely good and underrated the percussion is in this
Real music, no tricks, non paraphernalia, just four musicians doing their job and the sound is great, the wonderful Elton John interpretation!
If we really are in a multiverse, I feel bad for all of the universes that don't have Elton John.
There’s probably a universe where this man worked at a record shop or a universe where he didn’t go to rehab. Sounds scary
we got the good ending xD

Yeah saw him in Atlanta in 71 Yellowbrick Road tour. I'm 65 and remember it like it was yesterday. One of the best shows I have ever seen and I've seen alot.
Douglas McCrary yellow brick road came out in 73
Elton didn’t tour in ‘71 according to his tour history. He did in ‘70.
I saw Elton live around 2008, and he played a 10 minute version of this song. It was out of this world!
Just seen the movie and my eyes burned with tears sometimes; other times I felt like jumping up and dancing; mostly, I felt really happy watching a great movie with an actor who really touched my heart. Now I can't get enough of Elton's music.
