interesting, early elton (as well as hodgson/davies, early genesis, etc) were personal influences in the 70s - not a big follower beyond capt fantastic but he's certainly endured
when i recieved Elton 60 dvd gift last month I commented that it was a wonderful collection and I would enjoy high flying bird's (love the rawness of the early LP productions like don't shoot me or madman) resurrection live but I'd aleady seen the likes of most of the added early material on youtube or other similar fan sites, mind you not at a high res quality - youtube's scope has diminshed the excitement of trading early footage of most artists but who can complain - I'm sure many artists cringe at the thought their early footage or recordings are available at all
doesn't qualify as "hair" era elton but this also shows that early vocal tone and range
don't think we'll ever see Mike Heff sport an uncle toad head for a live GL performance
easy to find on youtube early decent quality versions of skyline pigeon, grey seal, funeral for a friend, etc, etc plus even a clip of harmony (not the GL) rendition played on organ - odd, he plays major (instead of minor) chord to start the verse
must have been great to see him in early 70s, moosedog - i regret also, jf
hope he come to moncton, jjo - don't tick off his husband or he may cancel in rene fashion
