Elton John - Empty Garden (Hey, Hey Johnny) - Live in New York 1999

Now, since I saw that mrterryb101 uploaded footage from the two solo shows that stand out from almost every other show, I was so thrilled. And then I realised: I have the sound for these shows in a perfect soundboard recording, so why not syncronise the video with the sound? Yeah why not. Mrterryb101 gave me the permission to re-upload some of the songs from the shows and the shows concerned is, of course, Elton's solo shows from Madison Square Garden the 15th and 16th of October 1999. What I basically did was that I ripped the footage from YouTube and then I used Windows Movie Maker to syncronise the footage with my sound source. I think the result of that operation is fantastic as you can hear the crystal clear sound and now -- for the first time in the history of Elton (of course apart from when the show was progressing) -- you can both see and hear what is going on at these fabulous shows. Once again, a big thank you to mrterryb101 -- you should go check out his channel! He has the most interesting Elton material! Enjoy! About the very song in this clip: Elton's tribute to John Lennon is a rare gem in Elton's set, mostly because he doesn't want to do it because it makes him sad. And especially when you think of Elton's 1974 gig at this particular building, which in fact was John Lennon's last live performance, this song has a certain significance. I always enjoy this song, but this version is a definite top 3 version for me, because it is played at Madison Square Garden - think of the memories that runs through his head while singing the song - and therefore it gets this sort of atmosphere that just make this performance magical!
