Pinball Wizard and the Bitch is Back? Huge Elton tunes.

 

[pbsmooth]

Yes all bangers so far. He has a lot to be fair.

Well Pete Townshend might have a word to say about that considering he wrote it.

It's a bit shit on piano anyway.

 

[Elpenor]

Elton is just doing it right now

I remember hearing Daniel - my favourite of his - playing on vinyl round someone’s house in Florida 10 years ago this month we were all in the pool, and I recall was skinning up at the breakfast bar

Edit - now Daniel is on

[QueenOfGoths]

Fuck me that's a lot of people!

 

[Petcha]

What a shit bit of luck. The best weather for years and it's basically been Smooth FM throughout.

 

[Plumdaff]

His voice is a lot better preserved than I'd been anticipating

 

[May Kasahara]

Am enjoying this more than I expected so far. His voice is sounding great, and Bennie and the Jets fucking banged.

 

[Elpenor]

He can just let the - superb - back catalogue do the work

 

[tommers]

I like standing up at the piano belting it out Elton more than sad Elton, so fingers crossed.

But goodbye yellow brick road is fucking brilliant tbf.

 

[tommers]

I've never seen that many people together before.

Just a tad Vic Reeves pub singer at times; I suppose it's the upper register that goes?

These kind of tunes lend themselves to a touch of pub singer though It works.

 

[pbsmooth]

I wonder how many times the Elton superfans down the front have pissed themselves. Fair play, good effort.

Oh yeah.

Plenty of folk in their 30s and 40s go that way when blasting out the tunes. I'm bloody impressed by him tbh

 

[Petcha]

How the fuck did he become so popular? I mean I recognise the songs but christ it's boring, just pub rock. I guess it's the Princess Diana thing?

 

[Elpenor]

You have no clue gabi really no clue

Fucking LOL. Mate.

 

[Plumdaff]

He's been massive since about 1972. To me he's like ABBA or Paul McCartney, sometimes very middle of the road yes but fucking hell the melodic genius is undeniable.

Yeah, fair play...I'm enjoying it tbh; great to remember being very young listening to R1

 

[tommers]

I mean I'm not his biggest fan but come on.

Has a superb song writer in Bernie Taupin doesn’t he. He just performs

 

[Elpenor]

And now Jacob from Gabriels

 

[neonwilderness]

Just get on with the next song ffs
