Coke helped a lot

@@Bruh1986.dude I know your a true fan, but I get so tired of every one referring to ejs well documented coke habit, it’s quite possible he was under the influence that day, I don’t know, but one can see many reasons for his stage presence, which I don’t think was that unusual for a great entertainer. He’s playing to a worldwide audience, one of the biggest acts on the bill, a historic day for rock, why wouldn’t he be giddy, or whatever the poster meant by being a different breed…the band rocked, he played one of the longest sets, and this don’t go breaking rocked, I think as good as 1976, especially Kiki, who punished that stage with her presence. I know your cool , I know we’d be pals if we met, but respectfully, uuuugh I can’t stand people saying every time ej seems weird, it’s coke..truth is, I’ve seen him act quite weird when he wasn’t on coke…he can be weird , and I don’t think he was that weird that day. I’ve seen him way weirder, his 50 th bday was weird. He wasn’t on drugs that day.

​@bruceski2133 what happend on his 50th bday

Maybe, I don't think the horn section sounded phenomenal but the engineering was so terrible (minimal sound checks for the whole production) that it's hard to tell. I've heard and read stories that the reason Queen sounded so amazing was part due to their greatness and part due to their sound engineer. And that's, perhaps, why the Thompson Twins sounded so awful. Regardless, Kiki sounded great, even while dancing, and Elton brought great energy and piano playing (vocals were not perfect, IMO...I'm not his biggest fan).

@@tylerseboeI watched it on tv back then .. We never noticed the bad sound . The TV were mono, some stereo, we recorded on V2000 or VHS tape with a lot of loss.. we didn’t know better . But I can still feel the energy and power of bands like Queen and Elton John ,maybe vocally not on his best , he gives himself 200% . Just like the others and that makes this concert so memorable . Time flies .

Yes, respect to the truly amazing band👌

So true, but it requires talent and passion.

not enough talent nowdays

@@B121092 you got that right

Indeed

Blue G that’s why there’s so many “musicians” today. It’s easy to make something sound good but hardly anyone today can actually “sing”

Star was such a great song too

​@@Munrobagger1976yesss❤

no

So true

Nah - that's just the 80s

Sure as hell looks better there than that boy look she had in the original video!

Ziggy Stardust*

I thought she looked like Sheena Easton at first. She looked great even with that 80s hairstyle.

@@TheDavidbooth hell no she was bautiful in the original video ... definitley better than here

Awesome story , god bless you both .

Thanks Jim K.

Any big plans for the anniversary you don’t have reply but it would be nice

so beautiful Love

Dude definitely didnt go breaking your heart!

Si, en otros conciertos es aburrido

Still is !

I agree.

Phil played both venues. Started in London and flew to Philly to play there.

should of included it in Rocketman , but that would be copying . Either way I think people would view the hell outta Elton's live aid if it was included in the movie

Elton was always a showman but for the record he’s the one who ran back stage and proclaimed Queen had stolen the show.

Couldn't have put it better myself 👏👏👏

no this comment made me so sad

Pretty sure he looks energetic because he missing his glasses

I hear he used to have about 100 sugars in his coffee

Maybe his husband put a little too much caffeine in his cup. Lol

I'd have a 'coffee fix' too for such a performance.. to be fair though Elton always used to perform like that 110%

Dude... don't go breaking your heart. ;)

There is still music like this around Its just underground

Ahhahah

Ziggy & Rocketman are good friends

Not a bad plan , now we need to have all 3 perform under pressure and we'd have something

No....its your mother..old and spooky

@@rupertigu3302 Wow, you got me dude, keep learning those jokes from your local kids book

He ius David Bowire for shyures!!!

:v

It hur hair style

was cocaine up! hahahaha

I like how everyone said, oh no that's sad to another comment about elton and cocaine but nobody says anything here

The 80's were everyones cociane heyday...

I actually didn’t realize that at all!! Good catch!

Difference is, Frida was drop dead gorgeous.

@@gahloot and your saying Kiki isn't? you nee to have your eyes checked man because Kiki is beautiful as a performer and as a woman.

@@swampwitch6133 LMAO David Bowie looked better.

@@gahloot Dude you must be blind in one eye and the other one glass, I bet you get all hot watching Justin Beiber's Ass.

@@swampwitch6133 It's sad Kiki didn't want to pursue or just got bloked from having a better career and role in the music industry...she had almost everything...

Tea TV I hope so, that would’ve been cool

Prob

i bloody well hope so

Ofcourse Sharon Is A Best Friend

He probably would have been saying, “poor darling, the coke’s changed him.”

Lovely song even now when I'm much older😊😊😊😊

Me either! My mom used to listen to this every day in the 80s!

Originally Elton wanted to record this song with Dusty Springfield who backed out due to illness. Glad it was Kiki who got to sing the duet.. It worked out better in my opinion.

Me too. She's so hot!!

Don't go breaking her heart!

She's so cute

Purify I'm in love with Elton John 47 years I've been listening to him and loving him he's my sweetie I'm still standing

I know me too, have you watched any of her interviews? No only is she beautiful as a performer but a a person as well, she is so positive. It's too bad today's performers most of them all we hear is negative crap come from them.

What does that mean?

Yes ..I 😘 my supersexy Elton but didn't like it when he did that..but goes to show she not. Huge star or at least not as acclaimed as others cause she was the background vocals.
