Elton John - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (Live On The Old Grey Whistle Test)
Музыка
Elton and the band honored their new friend John Lennon by covering this Beatles’ classic, with its writer making a guest appearance as Dr. Winston O’Boogie, as a stand-alone single in 1974 and taking it to #10 in the UK and #1 in the US.
They also included it on their world tour that year This video, showing Elton is his full mid-70s form, is from his ‘Christmas Show’ at the Hammersmith Odeon on December 24, 1974, which was partially simulcast on the ‘Old Grey Whistle Test’. The band that night included the famed Muscle Shoals Horns as well as current band members Nigel Olsson (drums), Davey Johnstone (guitar), and Ray Cooper (percussion).

Elton can make any song his own. Even one written by the greatest band ever. Remarkable!

The studio version is worth checking out as well...featuring bg vocals & reggae guitar compliments of Dr. Winston O. Boogie, aka John Lennon.
I met a woman named Lucy. When I first Introduced her to my dad who has dementia, the first thing pops says is Lucy in sky with diamonds. Somethings like great music are never forgotten. I love my dad/ pops.

(watching on October 21, 2020) Pure, classic rock 'n roll with the classic Elton band line-up. There will never again be a rockstar like an Elton John. Man I'd give almost anything to be in a time-machine, taken back to this concert !
I had this track on 45! Now I know why I had a crush on Elton John after seeing this video!

Saw him many times during this period, absolutely memorising, pitch perfect at every performance and so wee his fantastic band. Nigel,Dee, Davey...all fantastic musicians, god I miss those days when I had something to look forward to and live for.....not like now sadly... I'm silently waiting for the Gods to come and get me... hurry please I'm ready and waiting..
Such a quintessential British audience.
I really like Elton John is a phenomenal artist.
I loved his voice so much back in the day.

Blinded by talent, this performance is absolutely brilliant!!
My first concert at 16 years old. Saw Elton many, many times over the years. Still a fan. Not many vocalists would take on a Beatles iconic song.
I discovered this version of this song in so cal during my late teen years, before I discovered to do lists and mortgages. What a fun, aimless time, every hour of every day as expansive as a weather balloon.

The sign of a good playlist. This song and the next song are two of the best, if not the best, Beatles covers.
Elton was the Bomb. Led Zep, Kiss, Stones, Bowie. 70's. Then, Van Halen late 70's. Yes, AC/DC with Bon. Then disco. As I get old, disco had talent. Bee Gees, and the whole Saturday Night Fever album.
Beautiful
His glasses are so intense! I love it.
Great version of a classic Beatles tune ! Enjoyed it !
Nobody can deny Beatles are the greatest not my fav but this is my fav
He rocks no doubt about that! Early 70's good days good times!!
This is iconic
Brilliant!
Nem sabia, que Elton cantava essa Música. Show Man !!! 🗣️🎙️ 🎧 📽️
Brillance on all levels!
The song also made it all the way to the nr 1 in the UK charts.
I bought an Elton John Yellow Brick Road T-shirt at Lord and Taylor in Jenkintown, PA when I was in the 1st Grade, before Lord and Taylor was a mall Dept Store and was a top Upscale Dept Store !!!!!!! Well, actually, my Aunt bought it for me !!!!!! I loved that shirt !!!!!!! Then my Dad bought me Elton John's Greatest Hits and I played it on the old Sears console record player - over and over, and made my own little concert !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this song. Memories of the Marine Corps on Okinawa. Boy did I miss my cute blonde hair brown eyed sweetheart back in the WORLD, the States.
SIMPLESMENTE MELHOR COVER!❤❤❤
He is amazing
Una legendaria cancion, para un legendario cantante la nostalgia me invade cuando escucho a Elton John hacer este tema.

Es evidente, ha sido un genio, es un genio más grande porque se ha superado día a día y será un genio para la historia. Claro, sin olvidar a su excepcional banda, también a su nivel.
