    Elton John - 70's and 80's - fantastic !!!!

    Your Song... 1970 one of my favorites

    Yes! Elton John's output during the 70's is something to be treasured. "Honky Chateau" is a must have in my mind.

    I'll encore this tune and play it to death as well.

    My kids will remember this song well.

    It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain. What a lyric.

    I love Elton John. Even though he made us move our stereo system to another room :lol: On Valentine's day, Cav and I listened to EJ, and our then new neighbour (living above us) called the landlord who in turn called us to tell us that we were too loud. At nine pm :roll:

    It was the subwoofer. Now the stereo and turntable are moved and we never heard of her again, and we are blasting music laaaaaate at night. We bought two Elton lps to remind us of the occasion.

    Love the genuine expressions in the crowd and the sing-alongs.

    He played this tune when I went to see him in Vegas. I hadn't researched setlists- and was surprised to say the least. As I said before... I have played the shit out of it when driving.

    If you were cranking out One Direction... fair enough... but anyone calling their landlord to complain about Elton John makes them a world class dweeb.

    :thumbup: We thought it was ridiculous ... Maybe she just wanted to make a point, who knows. But she did it a week later again. After that, we moved the turntable to another room and now she's quiet. We can hear her snoring though :lol:

    He's coming to St. Paul in November. I'd love to go, but I don't think I can afford another show.
