I've always enjoyed and loved playing live. I relish and cherish it more than anything else because you never know what the performance is going to be.

Elton JohnIt turned out so well because it was the first album that I could identify with in terms of lyrics. ("Captain Fantastic") It was passionate...I could associate myself with every song...It's a unique album in our history. This was the story of us..."Curtains", the lyrics to that are so beautiful because it sums up our friendship so much, and our relationship.
