StringOFperils:

Alt music (which this still was) was changing very rapidly at the time as I remember it then. This album was kind of like cleaning out his foot-locker; they blew it all out, and then the world itself was different....and so was Elton. He could become Elton.

StringOFperils:

I've always admired Reg's innovative way of making the piano into the instrument around which to build a rock unit. It wasn't until just a few years ago when he dragged Leon Russell back into the limelight for a bit that I could see and hear one of his main artistic models...because Elton isn't like Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis...there is American gospel in there tho....I'm rambling because I'm enthusiastic about piano in rock arranging, where it's much more than an afterthought. This early material is always astonishing to me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:25pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@PK - It's a stunner of a track! :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:26pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@SOp - I hadn't realised until fairly recently just how gospel informed what he did :-) And I think, like you say, that he really made the piano a ROCK instrument which is fantastic :-)
Avatar 🍷 Swag For Life Member 4:27pm
Paper Kosmonaut:

Those orchestral violin stings. Great. Bit like Gainsbourg and Vannier in that same period. Melody Nelson.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:27pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@PK - Gosh yes! :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:28pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

I think the piano is always relegated to a very sedate position and yet Elton takes it up to that higher level. :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:28pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

I bought Captain fantastic the day it came out without having heard a single track. I've only done that with three albums :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:29pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

And it's my fave Elton album :-)
Avatar 🍷 Swag For Life Member 4:29pm
Paper Kosmonaut:

He plays the piano much more like the underlying percussion instrument that it actually is.

solo mon:

Rockin out with my duster!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:29pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@PK - That's it! That's exactly it :-) I'm guessing his days as a pub musician had a lot to do with it, too
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:30pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@solo - Rock out with Elton! :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:30pm

It was liberating for me, after growing up with my mother torturing Chopin at the piano all the time, to see this little guy in spangly shorts literally kicking out the piano bench and just making it NEW.

In addition to piano god-hood, Elton is one of the greatest shoppers who will ever live. That man bought so much stuff. And then got rid of it. And then did it again. The custom eyeglasses alone must fill a museum.

Goedenavond Paper Kosmonaut, you know what I thought the same thing re:Gainsbourg & Madman Across The Water when I was outdoors with this show as the soundtrack. Those strings indeed. I checked, turns out Melody Nelson was out already in March 1971 and they were still recording Madman Across The Water in August that year. So.... maybe somebody was listening while writing the arrangements.

Hi GeorgyGirl. Thanks for the Elton Fest. I have to admit it's been an uneasy ride, me and Elton. As a teenager, I pretty much kept quiet about liking his music because it was just so uncool back then to like him that much. In fact, it was the girls who were the biggest fans, in my group. And there have been many a cringeworthy moment (Candle in the Wind being one of them). I did see him live in 74, so all in all, I've been an lifelong admirer. But, please, don't tell anyone.
