still, perhaps the best 11 minutes of pop-rock live music ever. Chills each time I listen. A master-class by all: Elton: songwriting, singing, piano, piano solos, stage presence (damn, just damn!); Nigel: how to LISTEN, and play, drive and fade, wander and bring it back together (wow!); Dee: also listening and playing, driving and fading, and just carrying it all along effortlessly. 3 guys jamming a 6 minute song out to 11... It doesn't go to 10, this one goes to 11.

I always knew this as a rock song, and I was blown away when Elton John completely broke the mold here and reimagined it as a jazz tune. It's another facet of his genius, and another reason why I think that in the early 1970s no single artist could touch him. Is it the intensity? The imagination? Or is he just a piano-playing madman?

Will popular music ever become authentic again? So sad! I know I’m going on a bit but what a couple of decades we had, starting with the Beatles and ending with the Clash.

Absolutely love this Jazz/ fusion version... much better than the album track. Nigel and Dee are just locked. Just fantastic!

My older brother introduced me to this album way back in ‘71 & I’ve never stopped listening to it. I literally get a craving and have to indulge it. This video brought tears to my eyes as soon as he sang the first line. That voice...

I mean Elton's work is undeniably amazing, but can we talk about Nigel? I mean he's not only killin' it..but look at that shirt!

Nigel Rocks!...I got to meet/talk with him last month.....for around 15 minutes..Too cool!

Nigel is, in one word, AMAZING. It's no wonder Sir Elton has kept him for all these years.
