I’m a simple person, I see John Lennon or the Beatles I click.
i do the same for elton john
Far from simple, you know what the word genius means.
Damn same
Dua Lipa got you introduced to Sir Elton? so you clicked?
or you did not know the Penn Station is gone, Madison Square Garden? Or, What is Thanks Giving?
Paul McCartney or the Beatles I click, or Eric Clapton. Elton John, love his songs, but wouldn't click. Especially since Bernie writes all of this song...meh...
Doesn’t get any better than Sir Elton & John Lennon. Two legends. I absolutely LOVE their artistry, humanitarianism and dear hearts.
Rest in paradise, John 🤍🕊🤍☮️💟
Don't need a saw to cut thru flowers! :)
But Elton gay though
@@nzarch9741 He's done more for the world than you ever will. The fact he is gay is irrelevant
@@nzarch9741 and you’re in the closet, by the sound of it😳
@@fioralbannach6647 still likes in bum bum though bit gross
I was there 5th row. I sat in front of Andy Warhol. There were aisles of
People dressed in tuxedos and gowns! Great concert performances by both Elton and John.the garden-shook incredibly! Elton was correct in stating that he and his band were emotional. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to!
What a memory
That's a great memory
Wow!
I wish a recording would exist...
Thank you for sharing, Andy.
I saw The Beatles play at Shea and i saw Elton in Philly 1976....but to see John and Elton together must have been amazing.....we used to take the train into the Garden all the time for concerts..... great times
It must have been a truly magical night for everyone and especially for the audience. Two legends like John Lennon and Elton John on the same stage. Elton always remembers John with a lot of love. I love both of them so much❤️ Great interview 👏🏻
I was lucky enough to see Elton John before Covid hit. Fantastic show
John Lennon actually performed at MSG in August 1972, a charity concert, with Elephant's Memory and Yoko Ono.
I was going to comment the same thing! but Elton is more or less right in that John played live very seldom at all after the early Beatle days.
And he played with Frank Zappa and the mothers of invention at the old Fillmore East in 1971
He also played Imagine acoustic at the Apollo in December 1971. And technically, the Elton John concert wasn’t his last live performance, either… but you could argue it was his last “concert” appearance. He did sing three songs on a television special taped in front of an audience in April of 1975… though only two of the songs aired. But that performance was also taped in New York City at the Waldorf Astoria hotel.
@@lynottlives Also he did one last live show after this - the tribute concert for Sir Lew Grade at the Waldorf Astoria
@@lynottlives a bit surprising they don't know that as it was such a high profile performance, but never mind, gotta love the love here… 🤘❤️
Wow, those in that building that night to witness Elton AND Lennon?! I can’t even ‘Imagine”...
I have long loved Elton Johns music as millions have .
I was at the Boston Garden show in 1973 when Elton brought out Stevie Wonder for a 2nd encore. They did " Honky Tonk Women". Blew the roof off the joint.
John Lennon… whatever gets you through the night! It’s all right, it’s all right
We did want a revolution ironically .. my gen ..
Cycles repeat lols
Do it wrong or do it right...
It's alright.
Alright. :)
I’m just trying to have a good shit
Never understood if Elton knew before hand John was coming to not hire a few cameramen to record it...sure we have the record of the 3 songs you did. With John and a couple photos...shame it wasn't filmed
It’s all right it’s all right it’s all right she moves in mysterious ways 😂
His new album , The Lockdown Sessions , just reached the top in UK Sales in its first week ,after its release.
Congratulations to his outstanding talent !
I am in my 60s and always liked Elton although I have never bought a single record of his I love to listen to him talk such an interesting guy. I am gonna start listening to his Albums
We saw him in Shanghai in 2013/2014 (and i've seen some classic entertainers--whom we love--that don't have 'it' anymore). (No names, but Macca and Simon both know... and we love them anyway because OF COURSE we do.) :)
But ELTON still sounds FANTASTIC. His voice has remained strong and clear (in a way that both aforementioned Pauls' haven't so much); my daughter was maybe 13 when she saw him in China, and she loved every minute of it. If he hadn't sounded good, you'd know from a 13 year old's perspective... they're not ambiguous about likes/dislikes.
Retire if you must, Reggie, but know that you've given ACTUAL generations joy. And your fan base spans the globe, for REAL.
I'm 55 and I haven't been to a concert, but if I could go to one, it would be an #EltonJohn concert. It breaks my heart that I will never see this amazing man in concert.
✌💜
Same here😕
Why not go then ?
@@TVTimSweden My car was smashed when someone hit me and I’m on disability. Besides, I don’t think Maine is on his list.
@@essentiallyangelyn4420 Perhaps you have a friend who would like to go, and would be happy to take you? You may have to travel a little distance, like to Boston or some place, but I really hope you can make it happen!! ❤😊
Elton John is incredible in concert. He gives it everything, and just when you think it's over, that he's played every hit song, he plays another one...and another one...and another one...
Paul McCartney also plays a lot of songs in concert. I seen him in Giants stadium in the late 80's.
They did three songs: Whatever Gets You Through The Night - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - I Saw Her Standing There. A magical night in the Garden.
He's pure magic and a sweet, sweet man. I know it's a ridiculous question, but does anyone know the name of the nature painting behind him? Or the name of the artist? It's just so beautiful I can't stop staring at it. Thanks.
A secret to a fulfilling life: A daily dose of Elton & Bernie’s music❤️
John Lennon played at MSG for the first time on August 30, 1972.
Elton's forgetting John played and filmed his Concert for New York at the Garden in 1972, two years before his 1974 appearance with Elton. Yes, it was his last live show, but not his first in the city since Shea Stadium.
Exactly MrMustard. I wanted to rectify this oversight, but you got ahead of me✌️
Almost.. it wasn’t for NY, it was the one to one benefit show. And his last live show was for Sir Lew Grade in 1975. Look it up.
John Lennon ✌🏼❤️
Elton looks good!!! I was fortunate to see him twice in Philly. Gave me goosebumps being in the same room with him❣🎶🎸🎵
One of those concerts was with Leon Russell, amazing!!!!
i love Elton John for so many reasons
It was an amazing site of 1976 at Madison square garden at thanksgiving singing what ever gets you the night and before leaving elton and john singing i saw her standing there
1974
Pure class Elton love your music and very happy you performed with John Respect to you stay well I want to see you on your tour take care 🙏
I love the Beatles my mom's Fav❤️💙💜❤️💜
The GREAT LENNON
"Happiness is a warm gun" is the finest piece of art in popular music history - well done John Lennon!
The title of the song is sarcastic if you were not aware.
It will be sad in 2 days anniversary of us losing the great man John Winston Ono Lennon 12-9-1980
Going by memory here: I think John agreed to playing with Elton John on stage simply because he didn't think this song was going to go to number 1. When it did, Elton called John up and reminded him of his promise. The rest is history. John was very nervous as he hadn't been on stage in years. I also seem to recall that Yoko was in the audience that night and that John and Yoko reunited after being apart for so long. Something like that. Anyway, accurate or inaccurate, that's what I remember.
That's what I read, but this was not his final concert. His last live performance was in the Hilton NY in 1975
there's a video on youtube with Yoko allegedly in the crowd but it's fake; an actress recreated it because it was never filmed.
That story is pretty close to the truth. The fact that John and Yoko reunited that night is why Elton became Sean's godfather.
Still the same adorable laugh, you’re a legend and I’m so lucky I got to grow up with your songs x
Saw him in 1975 at the garden. Never forgot it. EJ is in the Goat discussion on rock n roll geniuses. He never big times people. Just works hard. We always appreciate that.
such a nice guy.... amazing.
One of the best “recent” interviews, cheers!! Elton looks FANtastic and soooo great to see him recuperating so well 💙❤️
This is my absolute favorite performance EVER- Ive watched it sooooo many times its worn out. Never gets old tho❤
Sir Elton. Love you love your music... You're music was the first I bought. You're the best Elton John. 🎵 🎹
This was not the last time John Lennon played live. He played in a tribute to Sir Lew Grade on the 14 April 1975
Love when you upload!!! Everyone stay safe out there ❤️💛
Two legends
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That actually wasn’t Lennon’s final performance. The final one was on April 18th, 1975 where John and a hastily thrown together band played a show at the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton Hotel in NYC. It’s the show where John and the band are wearing those weird red jumpsuits and have masks on the backs of their heads.
The one and only Mr. Sir Elton John!🎉🎉❤
#RepublicaDominicana Activo 👌📶ELITE
John actually did a couple of live shows in New York City in 1972.
I have the record of Elton and John Lennon on the cover they have their arms around eachother and on the back also. “Elton John band featuring John Lennon and the Muscle Shoalshorns” 👍🏻🔥✌🏻💜
I feel as though if Mozart had been born in our time he would have been Elton John
He is the best still surving despite problems God Bless😊😊
Amazing...
Not Lennon’s last performance. He played three tunes at a live show honoring sir lew grade in 1975. Look it up.
John played live on 30 April 1972 at the One to One Concerts at Madison Sq. Garden and the concert with Elton in 1975 was not the first and last time he played in NYC since Shea Stadium.
How can you not hear how the eye is filled with blood and numb during a cold!
Im listening that live album at madison square garden with John Lennon and its magnificent
Billy Joel surprising the audience with Paul McCartney for the last concert at Shea has to be right up there with this as well!
Whoa Check out that art behind Elton!!
Actually, Lennon played the Fillmore East - June 1971
Wonderful.
John actually did play MSG in 1972. Also, at Elton’s concert, John reunited with Yoko and of course Sean happened.
THE PEOPLE NEED MORE YOU ALWAYS! I would stay in cities until they stopped selling out and on to the next. 🦄♥️🕊
Yessss
Wow
Hi sir Elton John I'm also your fan music too 💙❤️💜💙❤️❤️💜❤️💙💜
Losing John Lennon was far more than just a loss…
Elton John is still 'Hip'.
John Elton!!!!! :D
The Rocket Man. 🙏🙏🙏
Not his final concert but the one before the last, so almost. He made peace with the Beatles and Paul by playing a McCartneys song, I saw her standing there. Yoko was in the public to John's surprise and they fell in love again that night (like starting over). Jonh was in his best moment, with a long waited kid from Yoko, free of drugs and in peace with his past when he was cowardly killed.
Cutest. Kid. Happy. For. You.
Please take care with your family's relatives and friends from the heart of Asia's Philippines from the beautiful ❤️ TRANSGENDER inside and out 😘🥰💜❤️💙💜💜💜

Best friends? You should take a look into what Elton himself referred to as a “whirlwind romance”
They smashed
I better not see any of y’all hating on John. Don’t ruin this pleaaase. (I don’t support John but like can we n o t hate pls?)
He waits until 3:17 to ask him about it?!
"Can you come out to play in your empty garden, Johnny?"
💚💜💚💜💚
Elton join a goat at music he awesome
I totally understand you👍
Elton Igot it wrong on this one Lennon did play in New York. there's actually a full concert Visio of it.
It's a shame. We cannot watch the concert on tv
Get well soon from your hip surgery
Because. My. Life. Hell. Now. We. Love. You. John. Take. Eazy. Need. Baby. Your. Slef. Please. Do. Long. Live. Ly.
03:15 john lennon
I love the New-York Dolls (Rip Johnny Thunder)
I don't give a shit about the big kitsch singers and their big kitsch candlesticks. Sorry for the level of my English.
Jimmie Fallon looks like Pastor Barry
His regular speaking voice reminds me of the idea of "British Prime Minister".
Very regal sounding.
His speaking voice in the early '70s was way, wayyy different as well. It seemed like a completely different person.
@@jimmartinsongs He WAS a completely different person. ( By the way- I don’t mean that literally, conspiracy theorists!).
@@claresherman2278 Point well-taken, haha.. his voice was just an excellent example of that, that's for sure.
@@jimmartinsongs i mean he has changed over the years. matured a lot. he was much more of a bitch diva back in the day. but yea hes done a good job adapting to his aged voice.
Ok, so how many people Immediately went and searched Elton & John at Madison Square garden? Yoko is looming in the video so BE WARNED!
Hi GoodNight and Sleep Well Bedtime and BedRoom it is MidNight RightNow I'm am Wearing my Pajamas Shirt With Pants BareFeet and Slippers at Home.
👍👍👍👍👍🇧🇷
Your one click can change my whole life🇧🇩🇧🇩
How did he get HAIR
Bravissimo ma Elton .. Ma ricordate che il RE del MSG è Billy Joel 😜
Is it me or he is reading a text while talking about John.
my uncle same !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elton John looks like an old Damon Albarn... doesn't he?
Sor ry Elton john played Madison Square Garden in 1972 One to One Concert, But what about your concert with John is there film and recording I have a bootleg of the concert but of the film. This is a Peter Jackson job
No secret Elton wore wigs. But his hair now looks tip top. I genuinely wouldn't be able to say for sure. Has he had a hair transplant or is this a really good wig?
One of the only four things he ever talks about in almost every interview. He's quite a stuck record when it comes to interview subjects in the last 10-15 years.
Listen wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction(hell), but small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life(heaven), only a few find it.Matthew7:13 Believe in God's son Jesus today, repent of your sin, dont be left behind. Love Y'all
The long and winding road that leads to your door.
He also said Sam Fender and his ghostwritten songs like 'white privilege' is more rock'n'roll than Oasis. He's clearly losing his mind.
Before you go mate get rid of all these gold stuff behind you and become again the true artist that you really are.
