Audio recording from the 2002 Crossroads show when Elton John and Ryan Adams performed together. They sang each other's songs, and here Elton does a beautiful job on this song from Ryan Adams's "Gold" album. Ryan played guitar, backing up his friend Elton on this version. This post is especially for JD.

@studovicmedia You know, I feel absolutely the same way. So beautiful, bring tears to my eyes. The first dance with my wife on our wedding day was to, Joan as Police Woman's "The Ride" but it should have been this song!

It's good that on both version they hold back on the vocals i think. They could both easily just go for it, but i think the song would lose a bit of it's charm without the witheld vocals. Tis beautiful and vulnerable this way.

@ShifulChoudhury ofcourse the version of ryan is beautiful as it is the authentic one, but i think elton did a great job to make this song his own.. he really put his own touch to it.. Exactly because of the fact that i really love this song i am curious about all the covers (with keeping the most beautiful original version of Ryan in mind).

elton can take any song and make it sound like an elton john song. Great performance, as is the entire CMT evening.
