... 199 ... This is pure rock theatre. Years ahead of Bohemian Rhapsody. The first Jam I ever posted was the title track of the first album I ever bought; Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. My 2nd album was Dark Side of the Moon and this is from my 3rd album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Elton's voice may not be what it was, but at 60? Hey ho!

Everything about this house was born to grow and die.
Oh my God.
For our lovely little cat Daisy, who died yesterday...
First heard this on a John Peel show. Elton recorded some ace songs in the 70s :-)
Happy birthday to one of the most fabulously flamboyant frontmen of all-time, Mr. Reginald Dwight! If you've never heard this tune, give it a whirl. Truly epic. I'd LOVE to hear him tear into this live.
