1979 - Elton John collapsed onstage while performing "Better Off Dead" at the Universal Amphitheatre. After a ten-minute delay John returned and completed the concert. He was suffering from exhaustion brought on by the flu.#dapimusic #mymusichangout #glamrock #eltonjohn #onthisday #onthisdate

Was introduced to this song today in the film version of The Million Dollar Piano. Phenomenal. Elton and Ray Cooper are even better 35 years on.

He was warned not to sing "Part Time Love" because of the scandalous lyrics, but he did anyway. The crowd is wooden because any dancing or misconduct was not tolerated, they would not allow people to express their joy in being at an Elton concert.

I've seen EJ twice. Once with a full band, the other, just him and Ray Cooper. The latter was by far the near, and Ray almost stole the show....

Saw Elton live in concert 4 times and once in a concert with Billy Joel (all in Australia)and he didn't do this song. Loved it from the time I bought the album. .All great concerts but jealous of the people who saw this fantastic performance with Ray Cooper.

Someone commented on no glasses. Based on the hat and the denim jacket looks like he was inspired by AC/DC! :-)

1:36 the lady is thinking, "I just smelled a stinky Bolshevik cabbage fart but I'm not moving to a new seat because I'm enjoying Elton's concert too much".

Captain Fantastic is one of my favorite albums of all time. I can listen to it in its entirety over and over again and never get sick of it. What makes me sad is even people who claim to be "die hard Elton John" fans have never heard of it, and won't give it a chance when I suggest it. And I'm only 26.lol. I grew up with that album.
