"High-Flying Bird" est encore une merveilleuse chanson peu connue du grand public, malheureusement. Elle figure sur l'excellent album "Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player" sorti en janvier 1973.
Lors du concert des 60 ans d'Elton John, il a décidé d'offir aux dizaines de milliers de spectateurs cette touchante balade. Il s'amuse, au début, en confessant à ses fans que comme il n'a quasiment jamais interprété ce titre en concert, ses musiciens lui ont appris comment la jouer... Ecoutez le résultat, superbe ! Et une mention pour le Brooklyn Youth Choral, la chorale de jeunes qui embellira la majorité des titres joués lors de cette soirée.

"High-Flying Bird" is again one of the most beautiful not-so-well-known Elton songs. It appears on the excellent album "Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player" issued in January 1973.
During Elton's great 60-year-show, he decided to offer to the dozen of thousands of spectators that touching ballad. He amused himself, confessing to his fans that as he quite never performed that song live, his musicians had to teach him it ! Just listen to the result, simply superb ! And a mention to the Brooklyn Youth Choral, embellishing the majority of the songs performed that night.
