00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:19,669
Hello, and welcome to Elton John Live,
Farewell from Dodger Stadium.

3
00:00:19,869 --> 00:00:22,455
I'm Kirsten Watson,
and I'm so happy you have joined us

4
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:25,492
for what will be,
a historic and emotional night

5
00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:29,629
as Elton John plays his last show
of his last ever American tour.

6
00:00:29,913 --> 00:00:31,281
And what better place to end it all

7
00:00:31,314 --> 00:00:35,135
than right here at Dodger Stadium
in Los Angeles.

8
00:00:35,168 --> 00:00:37,804
A venue with such rich history for Elton.

9
00:00:38,171 --> 00:00:42,959
Forty-seven years ago, back in 1975,
he played two sold-out shows here

10
00:00:43,226 --> 00:00:46,463
that are still remembered today
with legendary status.

11
00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:48,832
It was a defining moment for Elton.

12
00:00:49,282 --> 00:00:51,117
And in just under 20 minutes,

13
00:00:51,317 --> 00:00:54,337
Elton John will be back
on that stage right here.

14
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:56,990
And he has a magical night
planned for us all.

15
00:00:57,207 --> 00:00:58,875
Along with his legendary band,

16
00:00:59,142 --> 00:01:02,345
his longtime collaborator, Bernie Taupin,
will be making an appearance

17
00:01:02,612 --> 00:01:06,099
and Elton will be joined
by some phenomenal musical guests.

18
00:01:06,349 --> 00:01:10,403
We're going to see performances
by Dua Lipa, Brandi Carlile

19
00:01:10,437 --> 00:01:14,674
and Kiki Dee who sang the chart-topping
duet, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart."

20
00:01:15,258 --> 00:01:17,677
We caught up
with these incredibly special guests

21
00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:20,797
and Elton himself
in rehearsals earlier today.

22
00:01:21,898 --> 00:01:23,149
(upbeat music playing)

23
00:01:26,619 --> 00:01:29,155
ELTON: When you duet with people,
you get something from it.

24
00:01:29,189 --> 00:01:31,141
When you record with someone
you haven't met before

25
00:01:31,174 --> 00:01:32,158
or worked with before,

26
00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:34,027
you learn something
because it's so much fun.

27
00:01:34,060 --> 00:01:35,128
you bounce off each other.

28
00:01:35,161 --> 00:01:36,913
♪ Don't go breaking my heart ♪

29
00:01:37,147 --> 00:01:39,165
ELTON: Kiki Dee was at Dodger Stadium
the first time

30
00:01:39,199 --> 00:01:42,368
and"Don't Go Breaking My Heart"
was a huge hit for us.

31
00:01:42,402 --> 00:01:44,370
I wanted her to be there
for the last show.

32
00:01:44,687 --> 00:01:46,206
I'm so excited to be back here.

33
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:48,358
KIKI: It was such a magical time.

34
00:01:48,391 --> 00:01:52,529
I was in my mid-20s,
getting to play these amazing places.

35
00:01:52,562 --> 00:01:54,747
And working with one
of the funniest people I've ever met,

36
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:55,615
Elton John.

37
00:01:55,899 --> 00:01:57,183
Elton John means everything to me.

38
00:01:57,217 --> 00:02:00,570
He's my greatest hero of all time
since I was 11 years old.

39
00:02:01,004 --> 00:02:03,473
He was my gateway drug to rock 'n roll,

40
00:02:03,506 --> 00:02:05,975
my gateway to doing music, writing songs.

41
00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:08,828
He's everything to me.
He's my favorite of all time.

42
00:02:09,045 --> 00:02:12,165
Elton John is my musical hero.

43
00:02:12,849 --> 00:02:16,503
And when I get up on stage
and I get to sing the song that we…

44
00:02:17,086 --> 00:02:18,655
we did together, it really is…

45
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:21,674
you know, a massive moment for me.

46
00:02:25,211 --> 00:02:28,164
♪ When are you gonna come down? ♪

47
00:02:29,349 --> 00:02:30,817
Bernie Taupin and Elton John,

48
00:02:30,850 --> 00:02:34,220
I think, are one of the most miraculous
partnerships of all time.

49
00:02:34,254 --> 00:02:36,589
and they're the only ones like them
that ever existed,

50
00:02:36,623 --> 00:02:39,125
and I think they're the only ones
like them that ever will exist.

51
00:02:39,592 --> 00:02:42,545
Bernie's lyrics are so cinematic.

52
00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:44,113
You see them, you taste them,
you feel them.

53
00:02:44,147 --> 00:02:46,099
He's the greatest lyricist of all time.

54
00:02:46,649 --> 00:02:51,654
♪ Singin' the blues ♪

55
00:02:51,688 --> 00:02:54,691
The last time we played
Dodger Stadium in 1975,

56
00:02:55,141 --> 00:02:56,659
it was certainly ground-breaking

57
00:02:56,693 --> 00:02:59,562
because people weren't playing
stadiums back then, you know.

58
00:02:59,796 --> 00:03:02,932
But there's much more
significance to it now, I think.

59
00:03:02,966 --> 00:03:05,068
BERNIE: So it's really…

60
00:03:05,969 --> 00:03:09,239
a huge, huge situation
to be back here again.

61
00:03:10,056 --> 00:03:12,492
DUA: I think it's going to be
quite an emotional show.

62
00:03:13,226 --> 00:03:15,678
Elton has left such a mark,
musically, on the world.

63
00:03:15,712 --> 00:03:19,249
And to get to see it come to life
for, you know, the last time

64
00:03:19,282 --> 00:03:22,585
here at Dodger Stadium in LA,
it's going to be emotional.

65
00:03:23,002 --> 00:03:24,187
It's going to be emotional.

66
00:03:26,005 --> 00:03:29,442
I try and record with younger artists
because I'm 76,

67
00:03:29,475 --> 00:03:32,462
and I'm still feeling
I have so much more to learn.

68
00:03:32,495 --> 00:03:35,215
Not just through music,
but through every facet of my life.

69
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:39,152
And I love that. It keeps me going.

70
00:03:39,185 --> 00:03:40,186
It's just wonderful.

71
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,340
It gives me energy, and it
really, really makes me feel happy.

72
00:03:49,979 --> 00:03:52,599
My dear friend and eternal brother Elton,

73
00:03:53,082 --> 00:03:55,752
as you celebrate
this historic milestone in your life,

74
00:03:55,985 --> 00:03:59,923
I just wanted to give you a huge shout-out
for all that you've achieved

75
00:03:59,956 --> 00:04:03,393
and all the gifts that you've given us
over the past 50 years, man.

76
00:04:04,010 --> 00:04:06,229
There will never be
another one like you, Elton,

77
00:04:06,262 --> 00:04:10,183
and I know the next 50
will be just as impactful as the last.

78
00:04:10,783 --> 00:04:12,769
So keep on keeping on, my brother.

79
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:14,621
I love you. Forever.

80
00:04:15,622 --> 00:04:17,590
We just wanted to send you a message

81
00:04:17,624 --> 00:04:20,827
because as you head into your last show
in the US,

82
00:04:20,860 --> 00:04:23,546
um, what an incredible, incredible career.

83
00:04:23,579 --> 00:04:28,334
And to have performed at the highest level
like you have for so long

84
00:04:28,368 --> 00:04:31,554
and still have the passion
that you do is really incredible.

85
00:04:31,587 --> 00:04:35,024
We are so proud
that we can call you our friend,

86
00:04:35,058 --> 00:04:38,478
the godfather of our children, as well.

87
00:04:38,511 --> 00:04:42,198
And you have inspired us in so many ways.
We've known you for so many years.

88
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:45,285
And we love you so, so much.

89
00:04:45,551 --> 00:04:49,856
And so many amazing memories of summers
that we spent together,

90
00:04:49,889 --> 00:04:51,307
shows that we've been to.

91
00:04:51,808 --> 00:04:54,594
Um, I mean, it's quite incredible.

92
00:04:54,627 --> 00:04:56,012
We are so proud of you,

93
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:59,432
and I'm sure tonight
is gonna be a super emotional night,

94
00:04:59,465 --> 00:05:04,203
but I'm also sure that you are so excited
at the prospect of spending more time

95
00:05:04,470 --> 00:05:07,690
with your incredible husband
and your amazing children.

96
00:05:08,274 --> 00:05:11,444
It's amazing what you've given
to the world and given to us.

97
00:05:12,011 --> 00:05:12,895
I hope you're okay.

98
00:05:13,513 --> 00:05:15,765
I don't really believe
that it's your last concert,

99
00:05:16,683 --> 00:05:18,084
but congratulations, if it is.

100
00:05:18,117 --> 00:05:22,105
And, um, I hope you feel as great
as you make everybody else feel.

101
00:05:22,622 --> 00:05:23,456
Bye.

102
00:05:24,057 --> 00:05:27,944
If anyone can take us to Mars,
it's the rocket man yourself.

103
00:05:28,811 --> 00:05:33,333
Thank you so much for all the magic
you have given to the world,

104
00:05:34,083 --> 00:05:36,903
for all the light and love
that you have spread

105
00:05:37,737 --> 00:05:40,707
through your music,
through your authenticity.

106
00:05:41,157 --> 00:05:42,692
I love you so much.

107
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:45,511
All right, Elton, congratulations

108
00:05:45,545 --> 00:05:48,398
and good luck
with your final show tonight.

109
00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:50,767
I've made this video a couple of times.

110
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:54,137
I've known you for many, many decades,

111
00:05:54,170 --> 00:05:57,990
and the first time we met
was in Los Angeles at the Forum.

112
00:05:58,708 --> 00:06:02,178
And you were wearing a Minnie Mouse dress.

113
00:06:02,211 --> 00:06:05,231
And you looked gorgeous, as you still do.

114
00:06:05,531 --> 00:06:07,784
I love you, my friend. Congratulations.

115
00:06:07,817 --> 00:06:12,572
Elton John, you cannot say
farewell to anybody,

116
00:06:12,905 --> 00:06:15,558
but congratulations on your farewell tour.

117
00:06:15,591 --> 00:06:19,245
Oh, my God, I can't believe
this is your farewell tour.

118
00:06:19,495 --> 00:06:22,682
Thank you so much for all you've done
for so many people,

119
00:06:22,715 --> 00:06:24,100
including myself.

120
00:06:24,751 --> 00:06:26,235
Much love. Love you. (smooches)

121
00:06:26,269 --> 00:06:28,988
Do you remember in the early '70s
when you and Cher and I

122
00:06:29,021 --> 00:06:31,357
did her first television special
all by herself

123
00:06:31,724 --> 00:06:33,743
and we played old people in a rest home?

124
00:06:34,043 --> 00:06:36,813
I never thought the day would come.
Sometimes, I do feel like that.

125
00:06:36,846 --> 00:06:38,815
Oh, my goodness, what a career you've had.

126
00:06:39,215 --> 00:06:41,868
Full of laughter,
full of fun, full of music,

127
00:06:42,218 --> 00:06:43,836
full of great costumes. What a…

128
00:06:44,203 --> 00:06:45,488
And full of generosity.

129
00:06:45,521 --> 00:06:49,976
In fact, I am wearing a necklace
that you gave me over 50 years ago.

130
00:06:50,009 --> 00:06:51,677
You are the bomb, baby.

131
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:53,379
(smooches, blows)

132
00:06:53,946 --> 00:06:55,348
So, Elton, tonight,

133
00:06:56,132 --> 00:06:57,884
tonight, of all nights,

134
00:06:58,801 --> 00:07:03,256
sit back, relax, enjoy this ride

135
00:07:03,289 --> 00:07:05,908
because I can't believe
I'm going to say this.

136
00:07:05,942 --> 00:07:08,611
I mean, you say
this is the last show of the touring,

137
00:07:08,644 --> 00:07:12,882
but all I can say to you is,
I love you, man, enjoy this night.

138
00:07:12,915 --> 00:07:17,320
I'm sorry I can't be there with you,
but kill it! (claps)

139
00:07:19,589 --> 00:07:20,423
(audience cheering)

140
00:07:20,456 --> 00:07:24,343
We are getting ready for Elton walking
on that stage in just a few minutes.

141
00:07:24,577 --> 00:07:26,963
And you can feel the excitement in here.

142
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:29,015
But it's not just a big night for Elton.

143
00:07:29,265 --> 00:07:31,901
We'll be making some television history
of our own.

144
00:07:31,934 --> 00:07:35,271
As you are joining us
for the first-ever global live stream

145
00:07:35,521 --> 00:07:36,606
on Disney Plus.

146
00:07:36,989 --> 00:07:39,542
Well, let me tell you,
this atmosphere has been building

147
00:07:39,575 --> 00:07:40,977
in the stadium all week.

148
00:07:41,177 --> 00:07:44,413
We got a chance to catch up
with some of Elton's most loyal fans.

149
00:07:44,447 --> 00:07:45,281
(piano music playing)

150
00:07:49,602 --> 00:07:51,404
We drove from Utah for 12 hours.

151
00:07:51,437 --> 00:07:52,939
I flew from Switzerland.

152
00:07:53,222 --> 00:07:54,774
All the way from New York tonight.

153
00:07:54,807 --> 00:07:59,262
The fact he loves Elton John so much
really just kind of hypes me up even more.

154
00:08:00,546 --> 00:08:01,564
(speaking Thai)

155
00:08:02,598 --> 00:08:06,586
As somebody that's in the LGBTQ community,
he is everything to me.

156
00:08:06,936 --> 00:08:08,754
This was a momentous occasion for me

157
00:08:08,788 --> 00:08:11,791
but also to close out the place
that made him a legend.

158
00:08:11,824 --> 00:08:14,577
He's such a huge part of our lives.

159
00:08:14,610 --> 00:08:16,746
And that 1975 photograph

160
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:19,999
of him playing at Dodger Stadium,

161
00:08:20,366 --> 00:08:21,684
I want to revisit that.

162
00:08:22,101 --> 00:08:24,220
ALL: Cheers, Elton!

163
00:08:24,253 --> 00:08:26,222
The bees is back!

164
00:08:26,255 --> 00:08:27,423
(hooting)

165
00:08:27,456 --> 00:08:29,392
Last time I was here at Dodger Stadium

166
00:08:29,425 --> 00:08:33,679
was October 25, 1975,

167
00:08:33,713 --> 00:08:36,716
where I was a backup singer
for Elton John,

168
00:08:36,749 --> 00:08:39,285
when we did the two dates
at Dodger Stadium.

169
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:43,222
It was absolutely other-worldly.

170
00:08:43,573 --> 00:08:47,059
It was like everybody was in that moment

171
00:08:47,843 --> 00:08:49,045
at the same time.

172
00:08:49,779 --> 00:08:52,415
And, uh, I get chills
just thinking about it,

173
00:08:52,448 --> 00:08:54,133
and I got chills that night.

174
00:08:54,483 --> 00:08:56,969
I was 13 when I came to see Elton John,

175
00:08:57,003 --> 00:08:58,721
my first ever rock concert.

176
00:08:58,754 --> 00:09:00,256
And I just fell in love with him.

177
00:09:00,289 --> 00:09:02,358
And to know that this is the last time

178
00:09:02,391 --> 00:09:05,344
and to be at the place
where I first saw him

179
00:09:05,378 --> 00:09:06,612
is like so special.

180
00:09:06,646 --> 00:09:09,432
It's like, it's a dream. It's a dream.

181
00:09:09,465 --> 00:09:12,351
It's my first concert
and Elton's last concert,

182
00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:13,419
so I'm really excited.

183
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:17,256
When Elton John takes the stage tonight,
I'm going to be real excited.

184
00:09:17,290 --> 00:09:19,725
I'm going to come up and start singing.

185
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,811
I've been a fan of Elton John
for a couple years,

186
00:09:21,844 --> 00:09:23,162
since I was eight or nine.

187
00:09:23,462 --> 00:09:25,648
My favorite Elton John song
is"Tiny Dancer."

188
00:09:25,681 --> 00:09:27,400
"Rocket Man." I love that song.

189
00:09:27,433 --> 00:09:29,535
I really, really hope
he plays "Crocodile Rock."

190
00:09:29,952 --> 00:09:32,471
♪ B-b-b-Bennie and the jets ♪

191
00:09:32,505 --> 00:09:34,006
(mumbling)

192
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,743
I've learned a lot from Elton
being a piano player myself.

193
00:09:37,777 --> 00:09:40,079
I'm glued to his hands most of the show.

194
00:09:40,346 --> 00:09:42,582
And when they show his hands
on the screen, I'm just glued to that,

195
00:09:42,615 --> 00:09:45,017
'cause I want to see what he's doing.
For me, that's…

196
00:09:45,468 --> 00:09:49,272
It's like having a piano
lesson in a stadium full of 55,000 people.

197
00:09:49,305 --> 00:09:51,057
I'm going to cry. I know I'm going to cry.

198
00:09:52,258 --> 00:09:57,513
I got my bubble head T-shirt,
my VIP pass, my glasses.

199
00:09:57,947 --> 00:10:00,633
Cheers to Elton. (smooches)

200
00:10:00,666 --> 00:10:01,584
I love you!

201
00:10:02,351 --> 00:10:04,236
We're both originally from Mexico.

202
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:06,322
So this is a bucket list. (chuckles)

203
00:10:06,355 --> 00:10:09,275
Like, he's one of those people
that's lasted generations.

204
00:10:09,308 --> 00:10:11,560
We could not miss this concert
for the life of us,

205
00:10:11,594 --> 00:10:14,697
I actually went last week in Phoenix
and saw him in concert.

206
00:10:14,730 --> 00:10:17,216
And saw him back now
because I'm such an Elton John fan.

207
00:10:17,249 --> 00:10:18,134
Love it.

208
00:10:18,167 --> 00:10:21,253
I love Elton John because he is the best.

209
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:23,839
We're just super excited.
Like the circle of life, right?

210
00:10:23,873 --> 00:10:25,124
This is his final show.

211
00:10:25,508 --> 00:10:28,177
This is a religious experience
in many ways.

212
00:10:28,210 --> 00:10:30,463
And as such, we need to wear Sunday best.

213
00:10:31,614 --> 00:10:33,633
Every one of his hits is a hit.

214
00:10:33,666 --> 00:10:37,536
To be back here tonight is an honor,
a privilege

215
00:10:38,521 --> 00:10:40,022
and I think I'm probably going to cry.

216
00:10:41,891 --> 00:10:46,412
Elton, congratulations
on this very special moment in your life.

217
00:10:46,445 --> 00:10:49,165
We are all so grateful for your music.

218
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:51,851
Thank you for being
the soundtrack to our lives.

219
00:10:52,184 --> 00:10:56,889
Thank you for doing all the work
you've done to fight AIDS

220
00:10:56,922 --> 00:10:59,041
and to make so many lives better.

221
00:10:59,075 --> 00:11:00,476
We appreciate you.

222
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,964
Your music will be part
of American life for eons to come

223
00:11:06,148 --> 00:11:08,034
and everywhere else in the world,
of course.

224
00:11:08,617 --> 00:11:12,171
May this show be as formidable
as the thousands that preceded it.

225
00:11:12,955 --> 00:11:13,789
I know it will.

226
00:11:14,056 --> 00:11:15,424
Corny sentence alert.

227
00:11:16,359 --> 00:11:18,277
I know you will feel the love tonight.

228
00:11:18,994 --> 00:11:20,946
Sir Elton John, this is H.E.R.

229
00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:25,317
I just want to say thank you so much
for inspiring artists like me

230
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:27,837
with your fashion and your music,

231
00:11:28,187 --> 00:11:30,089
your playing, your performing.

232
00:11:30,322 --> 00:11:33,159
We love you and we appreciate you so much.

233
00:11:33,192 --> 00:11:34,610
Thank you. (smooches)

234
00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:38,230
Elton, we wanted to say congratulations,

235
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:40,499
and we love you so, so much.

236
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:42,618
We feel so lucky to know you

237
00:11:42,651 --> 00:11:44,787
and just like every audience member
at these shows,

238
00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:48,057
what a privilege that you're doing
these live shows for us one last time.

239
00:11:48,641 --> 00:11:49,975
Congrats. (smooches)

240
00:11:50,509 --> 00:11:54,213
Elton, it is your final night
in the United States of America

241
00:11:54,246 --> 00:11:56,165
performing for the American people.

242
00:11:56,198 --> 00:11:58,350
It is a long way from the troubadour.

243
00:11:59,235 --> 00:12:00,403
I can't believe it's true.

244
00:12:00,770 --> 00:12:03,205
I can't believe that I'm here.
I refuse to believe it.

245
00:12:03,756 --> 00:12:06,692
We know it's gonna be magical
because your songs are so good.

246
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:07,660
You got so many of them.

247
00:12:07,693 --> 00:12:09,545
It's really not fair to the rest of us,

248
00:12:09,578 --> 00:12:11,347
but we do hope that you have
a great show tonight

249
00:12:11,380 --> 00:12:12,498
and we love you so much.

250
00:12:13,099 --> 00:12:13,933
Knock 'em dead.

251
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:18,037
I cannot believe
that tonight is your final show.

252
00:12:18,070 --> 00:12:20,306
I want to wish you the best of luck.

253
00:12:20,339 --> 00:12:22,274
It's going to be the best one ever.

254
00:12:22,308 --> 00:12:26,595
You have changed the world,
the music industry forever.

255
00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:27,847
You are a legend.

256
00:12:28,214 --> 00:12:30,583
Thank you for sharing your gift
with everyone,

257
00:12:30,616 --> 00:12:31,901
and have the best show.

258
00:12:31,934 --> 00:12:32,768
We all love you.

259
00:12:32,802 --> 00:12:36,372
Thank you so, so, so much
for your beautiful music

260
00:12:36,405 --> 00:12:39,859
and for bringing my family together
through your wonderful songs.

261
00:12:40,176 --> 00:12:43,262
It was my extraordinary privilege

262
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:46,582
to portray you in the movie of your life.

263
00:12:47,016 --> 00:12:50,820
And for one final time

264
00:12:52,004 --> 00:12:55,207
at Dodger Stadium,
I would like to say to you,

265
00:12:57,159 --> 00:12:58,494
knock 'em dead, rocket man.

266
00:13:00,396 --> 00:13:02,047
Thank you for being on this earth

267
00:13:02,581 --> 00:13:05,201
and blessing us with your gifts

268
00:13:06,268 --> 00:13:08,838
as a musician and as a human being.

269
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:11,657
You have been there almost
every single stage of my career

270
00:13:11,690 --> 00:13:14,426
and all the ups and downs
of my personal life as well,

271
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:16,612
and I'm so happy to you know as a person.

272
00:13:16,645 --> 00:13:20,466
You are like a mentor, a friend
and also my musical hero.

273
00:13:20,499 --> 00:13:24,003
And I'm just very, very proud
to be your friend

274
00:13:24,036 --> 00:13:26,088
and, yeah, hope you have a great gig.

275
00:13:26,121 --> 00:13:27,523
And good luck.

276
00:13:27,556 --> 00:13:33,028
I know it's time for you to retire,
so you say,

277
00:13:34,630 --> 00:13:36,382
but I miss you already. I love you.

278
00:13:36,415 --> 00:13:40,002
You are one of the greatest people
I've ever met. (smooches)

279
00:13:40,035 --> 00:13:41,387
Happy retirement.

280
00:13:41,871 --> 00:13:43,823
You going to have some spare
time on your hands?

281
00:13:43,856 --> 00:13:47,326
Maybe you can come join us
and jam at the house here.

282
00:13:47,993 --> 00:13:50,229
(chuckles) That would be fun. Love you!

283
00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:52,565
(audience cheering)

284
00:13:53,415 --> 00:13:55,784
All right. Well, it's not long
until we see Elton

285
00:13:55,818 --> 00:13:57,369
right up there behind me.

286
00:13:57,586 --> 00:14:01,991
But before that, we wanted to tell you
about another Disney-Elton collaboration

287
00:14:02,024 --> 00:14:04,410
coming soon
from Disney Original Documentary

288
00:14:04,443 --> 00:14:08,130
is a new film from directors
RJ Cutler and David Furnish,

289
00:14:08,380 --> 00:14:09,632
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road:

290
00:14:09,665 --> 00:14:14,003
The Final Elton John Performances
and the Years that Made his Legend.

291
00:14:14,270 --> 00:14:16,272
But now, let's hear from the man himself.

292
00:14:16,505 --> 00:14:19,258
After more than 50 years touring
around the world,

293
00:14:19,291 --> 00:14:23,295
tonight we will witness his last ever
US show on his farewell tour.

294
00:14:23,846 --> 00:14:27,182
So of course, we had to ask Elton
why he felt now was the time

295
00:14:27,216 --> 00:14:29,201
for his touring days to come to an end.

296
00:14:30,419 --> 00:14:31,420
(piano music playing)

297
00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:35,174
Well, I started in Los Angeles,
The Troubadour Club.

298
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:37,843
That's the first place
I played in America.

299
00:14:38,060 --> 00:14:40,162
It was vital I finish in Los Angeles.

300
00:14:40,195 --> 00:14:42,047
Dodger Stadium has history.

301
00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:43,499
And I have history.

302
00:14:43,732 --> 00:14:48,771
And I want to go out inside of a place
that has atmosphere and aura to it.

303
00:14:50,155 --> 00:14:53,375
I'm revisiting the past
in hopefully a glorious kind of way.

304
00:14:53,842 --> 00:14:57,580
We sat down and conceived
this tour so many years ago,

305
00:14:57,613 --> 00:14:59,415
seven years ago we started this journey,

306
00:14:59,748 --> 00:15:01,817
he said, "I want to go out on a high."
(chuckles)

307
00:15:01,850 --> 00:15:04,603
"I want to go out on a high
and I want to go out in a big way."

308
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,272
And, um, this is bigger

309
00:15:06,305 --> 00:15:09,058
and more all-encompassing
than we ever could have imagined.

310
00:15:09,325 --> 00:15:12,611
And to be doing the last three shows
at Dodger Stadium

311
00:15:12,861 --> 00:15:16,498
with all of that history behind us
is a… is a truly magical thing.

312
00:15:16,865 --> 00:15:22,972
The first, um, Dodger Stadium show
was in 1975 were… hard for me

313
00:15:23,005 --> 00:15:26,508
because I wasn't in a very good place
mentally and physically.

314
00:15:26,542 --> 00:15:29,178
The difference now
is that I have a husband

315
00:15:29,211 --> 00:15:31,180
and someone I've been with for 29 years,

316
00:15:31,547 --> 00:15:33,549
two sons, Zachary and Elijah.

317
00:15:33,582 --> 00:15:34,783
My life is completely different.

318
00:15:34,817 --> 00:15:37,236
I'm sober.
I've been sober and clean for 32 years.

319
00:15:37,736 --> 00:15:40,172
I'm ending
in the happiest time of my life.

320
00:15:40,205 --> 00:15:41,156
I've never been happier.

321
00:15:41,557 --> 00:15:45,110
So compare that to 1975
when I wasn't happy.

322
00:15:45,344 --> 00:15:46,178
It's wonderful.

323
00:15:46,428 --> 00:15:49,865
He's back on top of the charts,
uh, with, you know, hit singles

324
00:15:49,898 --> 00:15:51,834
with Dua Lipa and Britney Spears

325
00:15:52,551 --> 00:15:54,219
which is where he was in '75,

326
00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:55,521
but I think, most importantly,

327
00:15:55,554 --> 00:15:58,674
he's really happy
as a father and as a family person

328
00:15:58,707 --> 00:16:02,011
because our relationship is wonderful

329
00:16:02,044 --> 00:16:04,213
and we have two
of the most beautiful sons.

330
00:16:04,246 --> 00:16:06,448
I always explain to the audience
why I'm stopping.

331
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:08,550
And so I may bring the kids on.

332
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:09,601
I haven't decided yet

333
00:16:09,885 --> 00:16:11,403
because I want them
to see why I'm stopping,

334
00:16:11,437 --> 00:16:12,604
see how much I love them.

335
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:15,024
That is what Elton is most excited about

336
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:17,126
and we're most excited about as a family

337
00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:19,828
is the opportunity to spend time together,

338
00:16:20,179 --> 00:16:23,232
um, off the road
because Elton is always touring.

339
00:16:23,549 --> 00:16:25,117
INTERVIEWER:
What are you going to miss about touring?

340
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:26,318
Nothing.

341
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:28,354
Nothing.

342
00:16:28,787 --> 00:16:32,207
I've done it since I was 17
in the back of a van with my first band.

343
00:16:32,241 --> 00:16:34,827
I can't imagine
how many miles I've covered in that time

344
00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:36,078
between then and now.

345
00:16:36,695 --> 00:16:39,665
I love music. I like playing live,
but I've played enough concerts,

346
00:16:39,698 --> 00:16:42,384
and I can't really do a better concert
than I'm doing now

347
00:16:42,418 --> 00:16:44,303
with a better stage
or a better production.

348
00:16:44,336 --> 00:16:48,957
I'll certainly miss the joy
that doing live shows brings Elton.

349
00:16:49,458 --> 00:16:51,877
Selfishly, I'll miss seeing him
perform live myself.

350
00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:53,295
I love going to an Elton show.

351
00:16:53,562 --> 00:16:57,166
He's a brilliant entertainer
and playing and singing better than ever.

352
00:16:57,583 --> 00:16:58,434
But…

353
00:16:58,951 --> 00:17:02,271
As he says on stage, he says,
"I've had more than enough applause

354
00:17:02,554 --> 00:17:04,940
and more than enough love
from an audience in my life."

355
00:17:05,340 --> 00:17:08,360
And he's really looking forward
to the stage where he can, you know,

356
00:17:08,394 --> 00:17:10,863
put that beautiful chapter
of his life behind him

357
00:17:10,896 --> 00:17:12,114
and move on to the next one.

358
00:17:12,147 --> 00:17:14,900
The audiences on this tour
have been so loving and so kind

359
00:17:14,933 --> 00:17:19,304
they're dressed up and they're wearing
glittery glasses and outfits

360
00:17:19,338 --> 00:17:20,889
from so many different albums,

361
00:17:20,923 --> 00:17:22,825
uh, Dodger Stadium outfits.

362
00:17:22,858 --> 00:17:26,211
It's just astonishing holding up placards
to say how many shows they've been to.

363
00:17:26,245 --> 00:17:27,529
It's like, "Wow."

364
00:17:27,563 --> 00:17:30,182
It's like, "You are spending
all your money just to see me."

365
00:17:30,382 --> 00:17:31,800
And it makes me feel good.

366
00:17:31,834 --> 00:17:34,453
There was a time in my life
when I didn't think about that so much,

367
00:17:34,486 --> 00:17:35,721
but I certainly do now.

368
00:17:36,138 --> 00:17:38,991
And especially on this tour.
It's the most gratifying thing.

369
00:17:39,024 --> 00:17:41,226
You want your music to be heard
by every generation.

370
00:17:41,493 --> 00:17:44,947
They are as old as me
and seven or eight kids in the front rows

371
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:47,483
little boys, little girls singing
all the words to all the songs.

372
00:17:47,516 --> 00:17:49,785
I'll be going,
"How the hell do you know the words?"

373
00:17:49,818 --> 00:17:53,338
When you see an eight-year-old kid singing
your song, you are just like, yeah.

374
00:17:53,372 --> 00:17:56,959
He's created music that he hopes
will survive and stand the test of time.

375
00:17:57,459 --> 00:18:01,430
And I know, for him, personally,
he can't think of a better compliment

376
00:18:01,797 --> 00:18:05,050
than the fact his music still resonates
as strongly today

377
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:06,885
as it did in the day that it was created.

378
00:18:06,919 --> 00:18:10,806
It's really hit home how lucky I've been,
how great my fans are.

379
00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:13,025
It's a lovefest between me
and them and them and me,

380
00:18:13,058 --> 00:18:14,326
and it's just so exciting.

381
00:18:14,993 --> 00:18:15,978
Thank you, everyone.

382
00:18:18,981 --> 00:18:21,183
Elton, we love you.

383
00:18:21,633 --> 00:18:23,051
-Hi, Elton.
-Hi, Elton.

384
00:18:23,085 --> 00:18:26,004
-We just want to say congratulations.
-Congratulations.

385
00:18:26,038 --> 00:18:28,273
And that we are just so proud of you.

386
00:18:28,307 --> 00:18:32,010
We're so grateful that we were able
to see you on your farewell tour also.

387
00:18:32,327 --> 00:18:33,912
Um, and thank you for…

388
00:18:34,730 --> 00:18:37,533
Thank you for entertaining everybody
for so many decades.

389
00:18:37,566 --> 00:18:40,085
Thank you for being the friend
that you were for my mom.

390
00:18:40,369 --> 00:18:42,838
Thank you for being our friend,
thank you for being friends with our kids,

391
00:18:42,871 --> 00:18:46,475
and thank you for entertaining people
right around the world.

392
00:18:46,508 --> 00:18:48,827
Um, even though this is officially
your retirement,

393
00:18:49,194 --> 00:18:51,346
uh, this will not be your last gig,
we know that.

394
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:52,848
Um, but we love you.

395
00:18:53,198 --> 00:18:55,501
And congratulations
on an incredible career.

396
00:18:56,935 --> 00:18:59,054
You are simply
one of the greatest of all times.

397
00:18:59,254 --> 00:19:02,908
Not because your iconic song
but because your absolute courage.

398
00:19:03,091 --> 00:19:04,593
You turn pain into purpose

399
00:19:04,943 --> 00:19:08,046
and your advocacy
has literally saved millions of lives.

400
00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:11,383
Elton, as you close this chapter
of our story,

401
00:19:11,850 --> 00:19:14,937
I hope you know
that your legacy has no end.

402
00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:17,840
From the timeless songs
that have given voice

403
00:19:17,873 --> 00:19:19,842
to our joys and sorrows,

404
00:19:20,225 --> 00:19:23,128
to how you've inspired countless people

405
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:25,147
to stand up and speak out,

406
00:19:25,631 --> 00:19:30,018
you will always be here on our playlists
and in our hearts.

407
00:19:30,385 --> 00:19:31,720
On behalf of the American people,

408
00:19:31,753 --> 00:19:34,022
thank you for moving the soul
of our nation.

409
00:19:34,423 --> 00:19:35,457
Thank you. Thank you.

410
00:19:37,993 --> 00:19:39,244
(audience cheering)

411
00:19:39,962 --> 00:19:42,397
Honestly,
I don't know how I can follow that,

412
00:19:42,431 --> 00:19:44,116
so let's get on with it.

413
00:19:44,516 --> 00:19:49,705
The time has come
for Elton John's last ever American show

414
00:19:49,738 --> 00:19:51,006
on his farewell tour.

415
00:19:51,206 --> 00:19:53,909
On the stage that made him a legend.

416
00:19:54,393 --> 00:19:57,579
Live from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles,

417
00:19:57,996 --> 00:20:00,632
please welcome Elton John.

A very emotional night for me.

589
00:37:00,484 --> 00:37:01,569
And, uh… (clears throat)

590
00:37:04,272 --> 00:37:06,440
it's been a long journey and, uh…

591
00:37:07,942 --> 00:37:08,976
(audience cheering)

592
00:37:14,098 --> 00:37:17,451
I first came here to America in 1970

593
00:37:17,485 --> 00:37:20,504
to the City of Angels, Los Angeles.

594
00:37:22,256 --> 00:37:24,392
And I played at a club called
The Troubadour Club,

595
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,778
which thankfully is still there.

596
00:37:29,413 --> 00:37:31,349
And it helped me.

597
00:37:32,216 --> 00:37:35,369
It accelerated my career in America
with a review I got

598
00:37:35,403 --> 00:37:37,355
from Robert Hilburn from the LA Times.

599
00:37:37,772 --> 00:37:39,624
And I'm so… I'll never forget that.

600
00:37:40,324 --> 00:37:43,361
And I had an album out at the time
called Elton John.

601
00:37:44,128 --> 00:37:46,948
My first single from that album
was called "Border Song."

602
00:37:48,549 --> 00:37:50,635
When we put our single out,

603
00:37:51,302 --> 00:37:54,105
Aretha Franklin covered the song
and put her version out.

604
00:37:54,972 --> 00:37:57,975
And so, Bernie and I,
being young English kids

605
00:37:57,992 --> 00:37:59,160
and young songwriters,

606
00:37:59,977 --> 00:38:01,796
we're so knocked out,

607
00:38:01,829 --> 00:38:06,434
so flabbergasted that the Queen of Soul
had recorded one of our songs,

608
00:38:06,851 --> 00:38:08,869
that it was probably one
of the most exciting things

609
00:38:08,903 --> 00:38:11,439
that had happened to us
up to that point in our career.

610
00:38:12,173 --> 00:38:17,044
And in the years that followed,
I got to meet her and thank her for it.

611
00:38:17,778 --> 00:38:20,781
And I sang with her and I recorded
with her and I played with her.

612
00:38:21,232 --> 00:38:22,216
And I hung with her.

613
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:28,022
And it was just a surreal experience
to be in the company of such genius.

614
00:38:28,472 --> 00:38:30,808
And her last ever show
was in New York City,

615
00:38:31,108 --> 00:38:34,729
at St. John the Divine Cathedral
for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

616
00:38:35,413 --> 00:38:38,933
And she was really, really sick.
It was six months before she passed away.

617
00:38:39,216 --> 00:38:40,101
She was this thin.

618
00:38:40,634 --> 00:38:43,204
And before the show began,
I went backstage and said,

619
00:38:43,237 --> 00:38:47,575
"Aretha, let me do it. You're so frail.
I'll do it, it's not a problem."

620
00:38:47,808 --> 00:38:50,678
And she said, "Honey, two years ago,
I was supposed to be here,

621
00:38:50,711 --> 00:38:51,862
and I let you down.

622
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,497
I'm not letting you down again."

623
00:38:54,065 --> 00:38:58,169
And she came out and sat at a piano
like this one with an incredible band.

624
00:38:58,602 --> 00:39:02,023
And for an hour and 20 minutes
she blew the roof off the cathedral.

625
00:39:02,723 --> 00:39:05,943
And those of us that were lucky
enough to be there, 1500 people,

626
00:39:06,394 --> 00:39:09,413
were in tears
because it was an incredible performance

627
00:39:09,447 --> 00:39:11,015
under the circumstances.

628
00:39:11,315 --> 00:39:13,784
And I think she was inspired
by her surroundings,

629
00:39:14,285 --> 00:39:15,686
but it was phenomenal.

630
00:39:16,287 --> 00:39:18,272
And so I want to dedicate this song

631
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:22,743
to the lasting genius
and legacy of Aretha Franklin.

ELTON: Okay.

1347
02:00:01,944 --> 02:00:05,398
This is the time of the evening where
I introduce the musicians and singers.

1348
02:00:05,615 --> 02:00:06,499
That is the band.

1349
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:11,621
Now, I've had a lot of bands
in my time starting off in 1969

1350
02:00:11,654 --> 02:00:14,774
with the late, great Dee Murray
on bass guitar and vocals,

1351
02:00:15,024 --> 02:00:17,026
and Nigel also in drums and vocals.

1352
02:00:17,727 --> 02:00:20,396
And since then,
many musicians and many singers

1353
02:00:20,646 --> 02:00:22,064
have played with me on stage.

1354
02:00:22,398 --> 02:00:24,784
And I can honestly say
they've all been great,

1355
02:00:25,084 --> 02:00:27,353
and I've learned a lot
from each and every one of them.

1356
02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:31,240
So I've been inspired
all through my career by great musicians.

1357
02:00:31,540 --> 02:00:35,161
But this band I have now, I say,
is probably the best one.

1358
02:00:35,461 --> 02:00:36,545
Save for the first one.

1359
02:00:37,146 --> 02:00:40,566
Because every night
I come on stage, they play so well,

1360
02:00:40,600 --> 02:00:42,201
and they inspire me to play well.

1361
02:00:42,718 --> 02:00:46,155
And they are just fantastic,
fantastic musicians and people.

1362
02:00:46,188 --> 02:00:47,940
So I'm going to introduce them one by one.

1363
02:00:48,574 --> 02:00:51,644
And you're going to give them
a final Dodger Stadium roar, okay?

1364
02:00:51,677 --> 02:00:52,712
I want to hear you.

1365
02:00:52,745 --> 02:00:56,449
On the right-hand side of the stage,
on percussion and vocals, John Mayhorn.

1367

(audience cheering, applauding)

1371
02:01:21,624 --> 02:01:23,643
One of the greatest musicians
I've ever played with,

1372
02:01:23,676 --> 02:01:25,895
and one of the most interesting people
I've ever met,

1373
02:01:26,412 --> 02:01:29,482
who has been in and out
of the band since 1973.

1374
02:01:29,949 --> 02:01:32,768
I'm so grateful that he's
on the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.

1375
02:01:32,802 --> 02:01:35,871
Because he adds so much to this musically.

1376
02:01:36,756 --> 02:01:41,661
In 1979, he and I went around the world
and played 120 shows just the two of us.

1377
02:01:41,944 --> 02:01:44,313
And it was an extraordinary
musical experience for me.

1378
02:01:44,714 --> 02:01:46,198
So I'm grateful to him for that.

1379
02:01:46,899 --> 02:01:48,367
He's played with everybody there is
to play with,

1380
02:01:48,401 --> 02:01:50,202
basically, on stage and record.

1381
02:01:50,619 --> 02:01:52,204

He was playing drums in 1969,

1384
02:02:11,390 --> 02:02:14,927
and he was singing in 1969
and he still is, 53 years later,

(inaudible)

1388
02:02:27,656 --> 02:02:30,776
Of the madman across the board,
I wanted to add another texture

1389
02:02:31,093 --> 02:02:33,195
to the band and I wanted to add

1390
02:02:33,229 --> 02:02:35,631
a guitar to the bass
and the drums and the piano.

1391
02:02:36,265 --> 02:02:39,418
And Davey Johnstone have played
acoustic guitar on the Madman Record.

1392
02:02:39,452 --> 02:02:43,139
So I asked him to join
the band for Honky Château.

1393
02:02:43,539 --> 02:02:46,509
And we all went to France, to the hotel,
to the Château,

1394
02:02:46,542 --> 02:02:48,094
the Real, and Paris,

1395
02:02:48,577 --> 02:02:51,397
and Davey walked into the studio,
and picked up an electric guitar

1396
02:02:51,430 --> 02:02:52,615
for the very first time.

1397
02:02:52,965 --> 02:02:55,017
And as you can hear,
he has never looked back.

1398
02:02:55,484 --> 02:02:59,055
He's my band leader that gets
everybody together here in Los Angeles,

1399
02:02:59,088 --> 02:03:01,190
and rehearses them,
so that when I come over,

1400
02:03:01,424 --> 02:03:03,859
I have very little work to do.
So thank you, Davey.

1401
02:03:04,477 --> 02:03:07,430
Um, and he's from Edinburgh in Scotland.

1402
02:03:08,013 --> 02:03:08,864
And he's fantastic.

1403
02:03:09,248 --> 02:03:11,317

(audience cheering, applauding)

1405
02:03:29,235 --> 02:03:33,105
During my lifetime on stage,
I've lost four great musicians.

1406
02:03:33,139 --> 02:03:38,027
First of all,
Dee Murray on bass and vocals.

1407
02:03:38,894 --> 02:03:40,196
Roger Pope on drums,

1408
02:03:40,863 --> 02:03:42,364
Guy Babylon on keyboards,

1409
02:03:43,115 --> 02:03:46,519
and Bob Birch on bass guitar and vocals,

1410
02:03:47,086 --> 02:03:50,139
and they were such great members
of the band on stage and on record.

1411
02:03:50,856 --> 02:03:55,628
So I would like to dedicate this song
to the memory of those great guys.

02:44:04,451 --> 02:44:07,854
I would like to thank all our crew,
all the musicians,

1845
02:44:07,888 --> 02:44:12,759
everybody involved in this show since, uh,
we were in, uh, New Orleans in January.

1846
02:44:12,792 --> 02:44:15,846
We've been in a Covid bubble,
all of us, since then,

1847
02:44:15,879 --> 02:44:18,181
and I only see the band
when I come on stage.

1848
02:44:18,582 --> 02:44:20,851

1849

and the best Christmas.

1850
02:44:24,521 --> 02:44:28,008
Um, and I'd also like
to introduce somebody

1851
02:44:28,425 --> 02:44:31,945
who, if it wasn't for him,
I wouldn't be sitting here right now.

1852

We've been writing together now
since 1967,

1855
02:45:07,113 --> 02:45:11,585
and we still are, we still love each other

1856
02:45:11,618 --> 02:45:12,936

1857

And as you know, I am stopping touring,

1862
02:45:30,837 --> 02:45:33,456
and this will mean my last concert
in America and Canada.

1863
02:45:34,674 --> 02:45:37,260
And the reason why I'm touring,
I think you know,

1864
02:45:37,294 --> 02:45:40,297
is because I want
to spend time with my family

1865
02:45:40,330 --> 02:45:43,950
because I'll be 76
by the time I stop next year.

1866
02:45:44,384 --> 02:45:49,306
So, I want to bring them out,
and show you why I am retiring.

02:47:09,252 --> 02:47:13,390
Well, you know what,
I became successful first in America,

1880
02:47:13,423 --> 02:47:18,144
and you bought the singles
and the albums and the eight tracks,

1881
02:47:18,178 --> 02:47:19,696
the cassettes, the CDs,

1882
02:47:20,080 --> 02:47:23,183
and, uh, more importantly,
you bought the tickets to the shows

1883
02:47:23,216 --> 02:47:25,502
which I love more than anything
is to play live.

1884
02:47:26,036 --> 02:47:29,005
Um, so I want to thank you for that
because you made me.

1885
02:47:29,039 --> 02:47:31,074
Without America, I wouldn't be here.

1886
02:47:31,591 --> 02:47:35,795
So thank you for all the years
of love and generosity and loyalty.

1887
02:47:35,829 --> 02:47:39,099
(cheers, applause)

1888
02:47:48,525 --> 02:47:52,462
I wish you health and love, prosperity.

1889
02:47:52,712 --> 02:47:55,548
Prosperity. Be kind to each other, okay?

1890
02:47:56,166 --> 02:47:58,001
And farewell.
