Elton John is a genius on the piano. He truly is the rare person that can actually do something that most people can't. He would start a song with an unbelievable arrangement, almost improvisational, and play for a couple of minutes before the audience would realize what song he was playing. For me, Rocket Man was the most impressive song played in his set. When he played Rocket Man, he went through at least four different variations of the song (before I lost count) without repeating anything. This song went over 15 minutes of straight playing ( I believe it was more like 18 minutes). There is something magical in hearing such a recognizable song in a way that made it completely new again/MamaJD. More here
