I’m almost 50, & I love singing every lyric with my 17yr old niece. You are a timeless, talented genius, Sir Elton. We love you!

Best live performer I’ve ever seen. I worked at an arena and seen Hundreds of performances, he would play for hours straight. And sounded better live thst on the radio

The sound engineer had a hard time dealing with that feedback noises… Anyway, great performance!

I feel Elton John doesn't get enough credit for his performances.... the guy sits in a chair whilst playing the piano whilst singing and STILL has the energy and charisma to engage the audience and gets them and me hyped the f**k up! 😂 absolute legend

Elton the king of pop-rock

At his peak , Elton is one of the greatest

Ladies and gentlemen The musical genius Sir Elton John

Elton was like this Ain't over, and he just started playing 😎🔥💯

A bloody masterpiece.

This reminds me so much of the early 80s. I would give ANYTHING to go back to the summer of 1983 Best year of my life. It never got better, just kept getting worse.

Back when EJ still had all of his vocal range. Great! Bravo!

One of a kind Sir Elton John a national treasure.

I’m 24 and have been listening to Elton non stop I wanna make music like him! He was and still is a legend!!

thank you LIVE AID this song sounds the arrival of Elton on stage, the quality is superb .... I remember that Freddie Mercury said to Elton '' but why are you dressed like the queen mother.?(to joke Freddie and Elton were very good friends)

Even with the sound engineer messing up this still one of the best live performances

37 years later and finally someone got the sound right haha.

You could never know what it's like Your blood like winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use And did you think this fool could never win? Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah Once I never could hope to win You starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah

I met a guy that worked on the sound system on this show! He was a Santa for Christmas and he met some of the singers/bands!

There he is, the man, the legend.

The show goes on..

What a fantastic song!! Almost 50 and still singing and dancing when I hear it!😊❤❤

I’ve seen Elton live in cairns Australia, and his concert was Awesome. I couldn’t believe I was seeing him live. He sang I’m still standing. it’s my very favorite of all his songs.

finally it was realised with some better quality thank you

Elton had tickets to a 10 pm movie that night and hates missing the previews.

I was 7 days old. I've seen him live twice. Amazing every time!

Wow! Elton John is wonderful!

🙌What impressive music!! That music never get age!! Adore creation dear Elton !! Very talanted musician and singer ,no words,only emotions!! Thank you,dear Elton ,for everything!! Respect from Lithuania!!🌾🇱🇹🌾

one of my forever cherished memories will be being able to scream this song in the same room as this legend

That was epic

I always loved this version! Thanks for posting it! The way it just starts with a few piano chords...then kicks in with the band and horns. I also love the minor feedback through the speakers. It really captures that chaos and spontaneity of that hot July day. I still remember watching it all day when I was 16!

They uploaded it!!

I have always loved Elton John's music. His albums were excellent (on vinyl LPs).

Love this so much. I saw Elton John in Philadelphia in 2006 at Fairmount Park. It was so fun, and I was so impressed with Philly! What a song and what a rockin beat!

Te amoo me encanta 😍 que potencia x favor 😍 tus temass exelentes uno no sabe con quién quedarse.bendiciones .a todos y flias..

Wow! I have always wanted to see this man…😥 (2023) still waiting! 🤷‍♀️

1:03 all that camera's dat are taking foto's give my epilepsie

Love the vibes 🔥

Absolutely love this song 😍 the lyrics and everything ❤️

Glad they uploaded this

i was lucky enough to see him earlier this year and i'm super excited to see him next year in royal arena, copenhagen

ELTON!

Song Is still Actuel In our world this times , wonderful messages from Live aid 1985 ,thank you Elton john for Always great songs and music greetings from Denmark 💯💙🤗

SIR ELTON JOHN FOREVER! LONG LIVE SIR ELTON JOHN!

Damn, how good he was on that 👌🏻 One can literally see what happens when he starts his engine Under that condition an outstanding performance ❤

My favourite song from Elton,………I am still standing and will continue going forward………we all have a story,…….keep being Amazing,….keep going Strong…Love to you……..💪💋

I thought my video speed was at 1.25 but it's just the power of cocainaaaaa!🤣🤣🤣

Thank GOD they patched this one up to be listenable - though I still love the original with the feedback and out of key guitar, seems they touched up his voice just a bit too..

Thanks for this , will be nice to see the set FINALLY complete once the next track is uploaded. Hope for a up-scaled Blu Ray of the whole concert one day...

I'm still standing better than I ever did, looking like a true surviver feeling like a little kid, I'm still standing after all this time.

Definitivamente de los mejores conciertos de la historia

Very cool

The best performance!

Eu. GOSTO DAS MUSICAS. DO. ELTON

Only seen him once. Wish I’d gone more. Amazing

My baby is 2.. first song she sings.

How many times does he change the lyrics? he changed "well look at me I am coming back again" to "well look at me I am on the road again."

I hope a new 40th Blu-ray edition of live aid with all performances that were cut from the dvd will be released in a few years needs to happen 🎉😊

It is great to hear this mixed better although I don’t know what happened to the Bryan adams songs which have been made private it would be great to hear all the Bryan adams songs in the complete set using the version of Tears Are Not Enough uploaded a few years ago

When you finish with you video put all together pls to 10h or more of live pls 🎸🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Master at his craft

Fantastic impression of Les Dawson at the start there Elt.

Sir Elton is One of the best

They actually went and did it

Gorgeous!❤🥰

Nice clean up in the mix ... Davies guitars are muted to block out his foot pedal transposition problems... and his solo is dirtier and clearer... it's great... thank you Live Aid.

nice

NO AUTOTUNE NO A.I, THE BEST ELTON HI FROM BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA

Idk what people say there should have been a remake of this at the end of rocketman

I was mesmerised by Elton's performance. Watching his stubby hands producing that sound. I remember seeing him getting pissed off with the sound even at the time, but it was a huge performance, the horns are amazing, and Kiki 🥰 looked hot.😜 Its no secret he was at a low ebb personally at the time, but live he still kicked ass.

my inspiration

I'm still yawning like I never did!!!!!!!!

Wait this isn't shown on the live aid dvd is it? Why not??

Damn

YESSSSSSSS

"Magnificent".

Nice

⚡Damn I miss the flashes of Cameras ⚡ Zero cell phones , what a time

more like live aids lol (jokes, Elton, Freddie and everyone who performed at live aid was absolutely amazing)

The banding on the camera lenses is caused by sheer outrageous decibel levels.

I was 15 and still standing 🙂

Not sure I’ve seen Ray Cooper playing a traditional drum kit in any of Elton’s other live performance videos

Good

Spare a thought for the lead guitarist with the director focusing on the piano!

I’m almost 70 yrs old now and grew up with Elton John and his music. I always liked him, but NOW that he’s gotten older, I can honestly say that I ❤ him and think he’s improved both vocally and instrumentally (he’s added a LOT more piano 🎹 in his concert performances)! This is a an ‘old’ song that doesn’t go out of style imo, and he’s still been playing it at his ‘Farewell’ concert tour in 2022, but SO MUCH BETTER than this 👎 version! I’ve watched all the videos from this concert he did, and not one has been nearly as well done back then in comparison! Elton’s a real legend in the music world - not only is he talented but he’s also a terrific performer and has great showmanship! * I went to his Farewell concerts 2 X’s within a 6-month period in ‘22 w/ 1st row floor/stage seats - the entire band, including his original members like Davey Johnson 🎸 and Ray Cooper on drums 🥁 (who just never ceases to amaze me with his enthusiasm), etc. made for wonderful memories. Too bad he’s retiring or I would buy tic’s to see him again in a heartbeat 💓!

Phil Chen on bass? Wow....

🔥❤️

Is it possible to edit out the feedback issues ?

'...and over to you Philadelphia.." oh. what could have been

Did he do this song along with the other songs? Or this was performed separately

Like 708 wow🎉

Istenien énekel es csodásan zongorázik

Eveenyothebestever!

Elton John - I'm Still Standing (Live Aid 1985)

What happened to all the great music?!!!

I’ve read that Davy Johnson messed up on guitar? At the start?

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

It would've been pretty cool to see the Rocketman movie cross over with the Bohemian Rhapsody movie here at Live Aid, and just have Elton come on stage as Rami Malek and the rest of Queen leave

L E G E N D

2:00 he definitely not playing the drums there.. so the drums area back up track because the rapid percussion he never does with his left hand on the snare
