Thank you for this. It has always been amongst my very favorite of all his stuff. I never understood why it remained so"hidden". Always beautifully performed live however the "creative spirit" is moving is moving through him that particular night. I could listen to it over and over and yet come away in a different mood each time. .. serious,deep thought,mindful,melancholy,sad,sense of urgency. ... Very underrated song. 

David Levine

This song is a metaphor about Ambrosius Aurelianus, a war leader in the 5th century of Romano-British origin. He is also the figure on which Gildas based Merlin. This song brilliantly represents a soldier shot in battle and passing to the other side. "young gun". Can't believe it doesn't get more play.

dirty was the day break, sudden was the change, is such a silent place as this, beyond the rifle range, I have no idea what these lyrics mean but you can just feel how great they are. Sing them when you're walking down the road and they really bring the spirit alive. Sod ipods and all this other stuff were plugged into, let's just sing melodies and lyrics like EJ's nand Bernie's to ourselves and we can experience no greater soundtrack to our lives.

Elton at his best.

@alreltney -though from 1970-1977 Elton and Bernie produced an amazing amount of great music, you can't expect any artist to sustain that output forever. And that should not take away from the fact that Elton is still a great performer, a great singer, a brilliant pianist, and performs over 100 concerts a year.

@alreltney he has Shown flashes on the OLD Elton sine Blue Moves...but YES--not oen complete LP since Blye moves has been about His SOUL. YES--you are right, anger, bitterness, Hollywood (lion songs) , broadway, show tunes. nothing eathereal or straight out ROCK (Crocodile Rock etc). But you short change song great songs cutting him at BLUE. Ex: the North, Cry to Heaven, Empty Garden!!

@hethquilord hELLO. yes..a 2 year old comment. At tyhis exact moment in my empty life tyhis is where I stop at 3:20 AM on a Saturday night. I should be out ducking some tart I cant Life is what it is. And Where to Now..YOU are right- Nothing sounded like this then or now. no match at least as an artist are there other worthy markers of a man david

I love this version (And every version of his songs) without the band. I've always loved the beginning, and thought that the band ruins it when they come in. He should play this one now, except he can't hit the one falsetto on "bluuuue"

He used two pianos in this concert - the acoustic grand piano and this one which was a Yamaha CP80 electric grand which has the chorus and leslie effects

I adore the way his piano has a sort of honky-tonk-ish feel to it... He should use that more often! :D:D

Adrian Spencer

Mullah. I think Elton was at his best in '73; the double album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Other more than decent stuff followed...but EJ was untouchable from 1970 to 1973. Untouchable. Cheers.

Tumbleweed was Elton's zenith, IMHO; he always came close afterwards, but never really hit these heights...

This was a popular song back in the 70's where i come from :)
