I'm not an Elton John fan but this song has always blown me away, it's amazing. I wish he'd followed this path of melodic rock'n'roll. Sir, you're amazing. I need to see you live somewhere and sometime! Bucket List!
I literally can't tell the difference between your voice and Elton's voice back in the 70s. Magnificent! Literally the best cover of Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding I've ever heard, and especially with the inclusion of an orchestra!
My father used to listen to this album when I was a very small child...I saw the trailer for the new Ant-Man movie and thought I'd relive some of the olden days...but I never got past this first "pairing". This is a downright stellar cover of what is, in my opinion, Elton John's greatest song ever. Fantastic!
The closest thing we’ll ever get to a Sydney 1986 version of FFAF/LLB, wish Elton played it with the orchestra, the opening would have been especially amazing
I just stumbled upon this and honestly, it is, hands-down, the best full-band cover on RU-vid! Simply outstanding! ... And the addition of the symphony? Spectacular!
You should check out dream theater version of this and their medley of in the flesh carry on wayward son bohemian rhapsody lovin touching sqeusing turn it on again
It was at this concert that I first heard - and fell in love with - Brody/Symphonic Rockshow. Since, having seen this fabulous show numerous times at the Smith Center I still prefer the less formal, outdoors setting of the Henderson Pavilion. Memories!
So close on sound it's scary! Vocal style clone of Elton John. Really good job but I like hearing covers done in a band's own style, however the quality here is top notch
Excellent electric guitar work, drums and all vocals in tune and accurate to the original. Otherwise, pedestrian orchestration and performance hitting below the magnificent original, but there’s only 1 Elton and post about 1977 he wasn’t able to pull off live much close to the original anyway. Bravo. New sub here. I look forward to checking out more, thx.
I went from YBR to ZUSA to SymphonicRockshow within about two weeks. All 100% amazing. Love Brody and Jonathan and everyone!. Is there anything these guys can't do? Wow!
@walraven2 Yeah walraven2..you are so correct. I've never seen anyone doing this song better! Only thing that compares is the track on the Yellow Brick Road LP...cuz even Elton can't do it like this anymore. YAY BRODY!!!!!
I just want to know is the skeleton ballet at 8:36 a stock animation clip or did they hire a graphic designer to make that specifically for a song called ‘Funeral for a Friend’
you put it out there on tube and its not as close as what the lads over at "last Licks" play the lads over that way have got your arse covered well and truly
