| [00:01.20] |
Can we just go backwards |
| [00:02.50] |
Just removing because they're about three things I wanna deal with and then we'll come back to the album and up to date again |
| [00:08.50] |
I'm sorry about this （fine with us） |
| [00:09.30] |
um October 1 |
| [00:11.70] |
we've gotta play whatever gets you through the night which I think elton （oh elton yeah ） else and who I did a program similar to this with not so very long ago |
| [00:20.40] |
And then we see quite a lot of in London when he's not worrying about the finances of his football club |
| [00:24.80] |
his work for try |
| [00:27.10] |
yes and he's been doing a good job then |
| [00:28.10] |
Have u know each other for a long time？ 'Cause Elton is work for apple |
| [00:34.10] |
quite a while |
| [00:34.10] |
I mean when did you first meet them out |
| [00:36.20] |
I didn't meet him till he was big and famous |
| [00:38.60] |
Uh Let me think yeah you've you've got me here |
| [00:41.20] |
I can't I met him through Tony king a think he was is a mutual friend who Tony had worked at apple |
| [00:48.80] |
a decker and all various places in London |
| [00:55.20] |
elton was in town and I was doing it and needed the harmony |
| [01:02.10] |
and jokingly |
| [01:04.40] |
Yeah |
| [01:05.70] |
He was telling me he was gonna do this madison square garden concert. |
| [01:09.40] |
He said |
| [01:10.00] |
will you do it with me |
| [01:11.10] |
If the records number one and I did not expect it to get to number one at all |
| [01:18.80] |
you know I wasn't being very well received on any level then you know with the Kodak and the hamburgers or whatever |
| [01:24.90] |
And So I should sure sure I will sure will |
| [01:27.20] |
Well |
| [01:27.80] |
I live to get nervous about that because a year later when I whenever it was he came back says ok it's time to pay your jews |
| [01:35.70] |
and the rest went to number one |
| [01:37.80] |
Yeah I was good as the first number one I had actually imagine that was number one |
| [01:41.00] |
Instant karma was number one show |
| [01:42.90] |
I don't think a better record than whatever gets you through the night |
| [01:46.10] |
Words are pretty good. |
| [01:47.30] |
But anyway |
| [01:48.00] |
so what what could we sing |
| [01:49.00] |
That was the point |
| [01:50.90] |
So we sang paul song and I saw a standing this |
| [01:53.60] |
I'm on elton rey |
| [01:54.20] |
but it was quite quite nice |
| [01:55.60] |
And that's when yolk when I got back together the night I performed with elton at madison square garden |
| [02:02.90] |
And I went on there and did the number |
| [02:04.10] |
And I was quite uh astonished at the crowd was so nice to me because I was only judging by what papers said about me |
| [02:11.90] |
And I thought I may as well not be around |
| [02:14.00] |
and the crowd was fantastic. |
| [02:16.20] |
No let let me try. |
| [02:17.70] |
And I. |
| [02:18.50] |
I was in the audience. Yeah |
| [02:19.10] |
an elton came out and he performed |
| [02:22.00] |
And this is the first time I saw elton perform |
| [02:25.00] |
And he's just a fantastic perform |
| [02:27.30] |
you know the perform of the century |
| [02:29.00] |
That's the way I felt that that night |
| [02:32.80] |
I mean sort of very heavy and very good |
| [02:32.90] |
He was |
| [02:35.10] |
I was watching and everybody was applauding and all that |
| [02:40.80] |
garden was it? And just the the whole sort of whole was shaking |
| [02:47.10] |
because everybody's was uh just jumping and |
| [02:51.80] |
and um applauding and screaming and shouting is that amazing scene |
| [02:57.00] |
and really literally the floor that falls shake. |
| [03:00.50] |
The place. |
| [03:01.00] |
thought it was like it was like an earthquake. You Know |
| [03:04.70] |
Uh And so John came out like that |
| [03:06.10] |
And because it was a surprise to everything |
| [03:09.00] |
I suppose |
| [03:09.20] |
But he was standing there |
| [03:11.90] |
And So everybody I mean I'm sure that people thought was |
| [03:15.40] |
this is great |
| [03:16.80] |
You Know But uh this John that I observed was a different John |
| [03:20.70] |
oh she looks so lonely. You Know |
| [03:23.00] |
he looks so lonely out there. |
| [03:25.70] |
So that's my mouth |
| [03:26.70] |
But he like |
| [03:27.10] |
I didn't know she was in the audience |
| [03:29.80] |
I couldn't have gone on |
| [03:31.20] |
If i'd known she was there |
| [03:32.70] |
and there she was |
| [03:33.50] |
You Know We looked at each other oh you know like the the indica gallery scene again |
| [03:38.10] |
And that that's when we got back together |
| [03:40.10] |
it's a happy memory that holds story |
| [03:40.40] |
Then I said |
