After a long period of excessive listening to the whole #DreamTheater discography (and a little digression into #Nightwish afterwards) I started working my way through the #EltonJohn albums. Mostly inspired by #TinyDancer and the DreamTheater cover of Funeral for a friend / Love lies bleeding.

Boy, that guy has released a lot of albums in the 70ies. And most of them only had one or two good songs. Don't talk about the disco record.

But finally I arrived at the "Live in Australia" record from 1986. Wow. What a fantastic record. Listen to "Tonight". The quiet parts with only piano and vocals. The parts where the orchestra joins in. Brilliant. And the fact that his voice is strained and almost breaks, but he still released this record. Respect.

Weil Elton John und Britney Spears offenbar #TinyDancer neu aufgenommen haben, hier eine göttliche Szene aus Almost Famous.

"I have to go home."

"You are home."
