Neko Case is a wonderfully talented musician from Tacoma, WA, who started out in the Canadian indie collective the New Pornographers. Her solo stuff is a gorgeous blend of a dark country aesthetic and instrumentation with a sultry and powerful, ranging voice, and soaringly poetic lyrics. Check out the “Furnace Room Lullaby” if you want more of her country approach, or “Middle Cyclone” if you want her more alternative sounds., shes the best
Check her work with Jakob Dylan or her own work ‘Hold On Hold On’ or her cover of Harry Nilsson’s ‘Don’t Forget Me’ My daughter introduced me to her.
Only one unknown to me is Neko Case? Enlighten me, please.
Knock Knock Nocking on heaven doors.
Thats true and with leon they formed the holy trinity band (I think). Anyway the legend live on!
awesome~
..And on this stage of true music legends, we must not forget about Don Was on bass guitar
My guess is the stage lighting bothers his eyes, and makes it easier for him to see the teleprompter with the lyrics. Elton also often wears sunglasses on stage.
This might also be a stupid remark, but as I well know the sunglasses are part of his image, cannot figure out why a man with the sexiest pair of eyes in the world would want to cover them up.Leon has great expressive eyes when He plays and actually shows them.
elton john sounds stronger than ever, Leon, well, leon is just himself – forever cool.. Great song by a great gathering of folks.
awesome, awesome
He’s from Tulsa, the hat works..
I thought they did a great arrangement of this song, Cheryl Crow’s voice sounded wonderful
the piano was superb, and Leon throw that fucking cowboy hat away ….
Talk about fucked up, you couldn’t think of anything intelligent to say?
yes, he has a knack for doing that. there are so many songs that he has covered that i prefer to the originals, which is kind of confusing because i usually like original versions better, except for when Mr. Joe Cocker covers a beatles song which makes a huge improvement over the originals. Mr. Russell is one of the greatest musical artists today.
Musical Magic.
Positively Phenomenal.
Wow, Leon makes that song his own. Almost sounds like he could of wrote it.
excellent.
so much fun!
they (all) did a fantastic job.
(:
Sheryl is sexy as hell.
Leon is awesome. Monitor or not, the moment he started singing I got goosebumps. His voice is still amazing!
so what obama uses a monitor and he still fucks up everything……what a stupid fucking post.
leon is finally getting the recognition he has always deserved. no matter who he plays with, he is an excellent muscian.
. . . knock knock knockin’ on heaven’s door. . .
I agree with you. I’m one of the biggest Leon fans alive, and I’ve seen him in concert 48 times. I’ve noticed that he uses a monitor, too. But then again, he’s had 3 brain surgeries, and he always wears dark glasses cos the lights bother his eyes. I don’t care, it’s always an honor to be in the presence of the Master of Space and Time.
The ultimate Jam session!!!!
I really enjoy seeing multiple talent together smoothly singing…Knowing they are all great individually and equally great together…
Leon uses a moniter that has the lyrics on it. It’s not a critisism just a fact. I think they are both awesome and The Union is one of Elton’s best albums ever.
Elton and Leon Know the words, believe that!!
Excuse me? are you kidding me? I am pretty sure, even if they are older now, they still know what they are doing, and still sound pretty damn good.
Love Leon Forever!!!
Incredible, heartfelt performance by everyone. But It’s Leon that still makes my heart beat fast!
Love it!! All my favorites!!
Elton sounds relly good singing on this one
leon de argentina te queremos tanto
Fantastic.
That was great!
Elton and leon are both old men, they dont know the words to half of their new songs, let alone ones theyve never performed before give them a break
Do they know the words?
Lovely song & video !!
Tons of great talent there! Thanks for sharing!
