To prove that I do upload "new" things and don't just upload "old" shows, I have decided to go to a personal favorite show of mine from 1986! There's only three songs which means I can rant about all of them! The show in question? It has to be Joan Rivers!

The amazing thing about this is that six days earlier in Oakland, Elton still sounds fine with a bit of trouble with his higher range but the nodules growing on his vocal chords have now developed enough to effectively stop him from singing most songs well (not that this stops him!)

This performance has the only known live version of The Bitch Is Back in the original key (without a backing track like TOTP 1974! Thanks chenlung1 for that information!) but Elton sounds horrifically bad plus what doesn't help is the fact that both Joan Rivers and Cher both join in and they are both off-key! (Cher is worse than Joan surprisingly!)

Your Song is not one of Elton's finest hours however he does try. Also of noteworthiness, this version is not performed on a Steinway which is why it has a different piano sound which isn't a bad thing!

Finally, there is a short snippet of Twist And Shout in the credits where Elton sounds much better than he did on The Bitch Is Back however he is more concerned with Cher sitting next to him (hence his comment!)

Overall, this is something to savor! Enjoy!
