  1. This rocket man forgot about mercury….

  2. I was there queen totally steal the show, and thats the time i turn into queen

  3. Hey this channel not put queen

  4. Looking forward to the movie being released

  5. Al Da Keys says:

    Ah, the days when you could actual decipher his lyrics…..now he’s a caricature of himself vocally……star though. No doubt.

  6. I'm gonna be hiiiiiiiigh !!!!

  7. Elton went backstage and screamed when Freddie stole the show at live aid. But Elton you rock hard too <3

  8. He's not in to it, Queen stole the show

  9. Chris Roy says:

    It's frightening that you had the greatest performers in the world at this event, including Elton, and all that anybody remembers is Queen. They really were a different level.

  10. My uncle was a roadie for Elton John at Live Aid. He said Elton was a "fat, moody little shit who smelled strongly of body odour" At the end of the tour he gave all the roadies a signed photo of him in his swimming pool at his mansion in St Tropez. They fucking loved that.

  11. What was considered Elton John's best performance? Like many will say live aid was Queen's best performance for example

  12. Vile says:

    I don’t think anyone was able to compete with Queen

  13. Paul, Queen, David and Elthon on the same stage. Wow. I just need the Beatles together and alive again and I'll be the happiest person in the world. I need John, George, Freddie and David alive, I miss them like oxygen. It really hurts a lot.

  14. IronGuy 64 says:

    Is Queen going to be added?

  15. I’ve watch the Queen Live Aid videos so much I completely forgot that there was actually other people preforming at this event.

  16. Imagine that… A gay man doing charity work to help a starving although mostly homophobic country. When Ethiopians want to execute gays, maybe they should remember that.

  17. This song takes me out to the space. Beautiful times with genius musicians.

  18. We was in Orlando 2nights ago by stage Elton cancelled20mins before show time huh.and wed.in tampa,I still love him til ever and love what he has done for Gaga.and aids foundation,,

  19. He sureley does sound like a redneck. Gaterdone slang

  20. Awesome performance. It's crazy this was the last year his voice was good before he had that problem with his voice in 86. I mean he still sounds good but I miss him doing the songs with the falsettos and the regular key

  21. Juan Yepez says:

    Where’s a dolorean when you need it?

  22. scott l says:

    Lotsa coke but sounding good.

  23. Land Shark says:

    GF bought me tickets to see Elton in concert this December. Dumped her for maturity reasons and lost the tickets. Pray for a homie.

  24. Rc Salazar says:

    Elton john without sun glasses is not elton john

  25. nobody will ever change my mind about Live Aid being the most epic, legendary concert events of all time

  26. I was right there…..at home watching it on TV…..the next day on VHS. Freaks me out thinking about that.

  27. I’m so glad they are making a movie about Elton ❤️

  28. Trump brought back this song to describe Kim Jung Un.

  29. UMD // says:

    Elton John can do no wrong in my eyes if he did the worse thing imaginable i would say Alexa play Rocket Man

  36. Fantastic performance by all. Wow!

  37. Freddie has gotten his movies, Elton is next. Cross your fingers for Bowie! Also, as a non singer, why tf are they kissing the mic?
