🎹⚾ On This Day in 1975… History Was Made at Dodger Stadium! 🚀

October 26, 1975 — Elton John and his band took the stage for their second legendary, sold-out show at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles!
With Elton dazzling the crowd in his unforgettable sequined Dodgers uniform, these two concerts became defining moments in rock ’n’ roll history.
What an incredible time to be an Elton John fan! 💙
Who else wishes they could have been there? And for those lucky enough to have witnessed it firsthand, I would love to hear your memories! 🌟

Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word by the musical geniuses, Elton John and Bernie Taupin.💙💙🙌 They released this gem in 1976. I love it and just felt like singing it. As previously mentioned, Elton has always been one of my go-to's to get out emotions. I'm so grateful for the music🙏💙
They were right when they wrote this. It is for so many. So much time gets wasted. Time you'll never get back. Often, only to be met with regret. At the end of the day, I guess we all have to ask ourselves...
What's more important?
Our love for someone or our ego?
Because as the saying goes...
Here today, gone tomorrow🙏

The usual disclaimers to please disregard any snap, crackle, or pops, shuffles, sound level issues, etc. This was sung on a cheap pair of headphones, using a karaoke app on my cheap phone. No auto-tune/fax/edits/ai used. I need to hear how I really sound. This was one of those one take deals. I wanted to see if I could capture the emotion. No money is being made from my generic cover. I'm just paying tribute to the music I love.💙

My shadowban and I appreciate your support 🙏💙

🎶 BLUE MOVES – Song of the Day: “Cage the Songbird” 🕊️
What a beautifully delicate and sophisticated piece of music!

Written by Elton John, Bernie Taupin and Davey Johnstone.

Written as a tribute to the legendary Édith Piaf, this song is all about finesse. Every instrument is played with such subtlety and restraint, allowing Elton’s tender vocals and Bernie’s poignant lyrics to shine. And those gorgeous harmonies by David Crosby and Graham Nash are the icing on the cake!

🎵 The musicians:

* Elton John – Lead vocals
* Davey Johnstone – Acoustic guitar, dulcimer
* Caleb Quaye – Acoustic guitar
* James Newton Howard – Synthesizer, Mellotron
* Ray Cooper – Triangle, finger cymbals, bell tree, shaker
* David Crosby & Graham Nash – Backing vocals

Sometimes, the beauty of a song lies in what the musicians choose not to play. This is one of those moments. ❤️

What do you think of this beautiful, understated gem?

Here’s another example of get in, get out. This time with Davey & Elton. 🎹

Knowing the show means knowing where to be, when to move, and when to disappear. I’m watching the band, anticipating the moments, and waiting for the right opportunity to grab the shot that’ll make the final edit.

No unnecessary filming, no getting in the way. Every move has a purpose! 🤙🏼

Rocketman took on a life of its own throughout the Farewell Tour. No two nights were the same except for the audience response. Music truly unites us. 🙏🩷#frontrowlife #rocketman #daveyjohnstone #kimbullard #eltonjohn

It’s been a week since I saw Elton John in Mexico City, and I still can’t believe it actually happened. ❤️‍🩹

I’ve spent my whole life listening to his music, singing his songs, and finding comfort in them when I needed it the most. Seeing him live again was more than just a concert. It was a lifetime of memories, emotions, and dreams coming together in one unforgettable night.

The energy of Mexico City, the rain, the music, and thousands of people singing along… it was pure magic.

I don’t know how long it will take me to get over this night, but I know I’ll carry it with me for the rest of my life.

Thank you, Elton, for being part of my story. You’ll never know how much you mean to me. 🥹❤️🎹

He is still standing… ❤️🎹
Even after having to leave the stage for a moment in Mexico because he wasn’t feeling well, he came back. And that says it all. ❤️

I was 10 when I first heard “Your Song”. It came on the radio and wrapped me in warmth like a blanket when I needed it most. ❤️
Today, I have three beautiful children, over 40 years with the love of my life, a wonderful daughter-in-law and a precious granddaughter.
Life turned out to be beautiful after all. ❤️
I know there are so many stories like mine out there. @eltonjohn , your music has touched more lives than you could ever imagine. Thank you for being part of my story. ❤️🎹
