Nigel is immaculate, with Elton at every step, and still is. Fantastic drummer.

Thank you kindly for posting this. I love Elton John and this is my very favorite of his songs. What a power trio.

James Zollweg

Is that Pete Ham (of Badfinger) behind the drummer at 1:33?

For a forty-five year old piece of film, it still looks and sounds great today.

Bob Jackson

This is a masterpiece, the work of a genius. Long live Elton!

Bunch of Nova Monkeys that have never heard good music. We used to call em space cadets.

Before all the silly, ridiculous costumes, before the shallow commercial garbage songs that followed Yellow Brick Road. Elton John became a star because of these songs and performances like this. This song is studio quality yet live. The BBC studio at this time was a perfect venue for high quality recordings.

Burn down the missionIf we're gonna stay aliveWatch the black smoke fly to heavenSee the red flame light the skyBurn down the missionBurn it down to stay aliveIt's our only chance of livingTake all you need to live inside

I don't care if he screws goats, the man (and his lyricist, Bernie Taupin) is a hell of a talent.
