9. Someone Saved My Life Tonight (Brian Wilson) (The NAMM Show: 1/17/2003)

I have to apologize to my subscribers for failing to win the TierMaker discussing the 1997 Big Picture Tour. Despite being sabotaged and being on the receiving end of unfair confrontations, I tried my best and I have nothing to be ashamed of. Regardless, I have to upload three “punishment” shows since I placed last during the TierMaker event. This first upload is one of the most unique concerts from Elton John’s career as it doesn’t just feature Captain Fantastic himself (who only appears in the last hour or so of the recording), but it’s a star-studded event called the “NAMM Show” that raised $330,000 for musical education charities. Thanks to Terry Bangley, the recording featured is a massive improvement over earlier copies as the quality is excellent. A higher generation version (the old copy) is used to patch in missing speeches, bits of performances, and the “Circle Of Life” performance. With both copies being used, there is over 3 hours of entertainment on this recording. The first two hours are centered around various artists paying tribute to Elton by performing their favorite songs from him (to varying results) while the last hour features the man himself steam-rolling through a high energy set and showing how things are done! Due to the uniqueness of this event, the descriptions will be not written in the traditional format. During the “Elton karaoke” section, each performer will get their own personal description dedicated to them, while Elton’s set will get a completely different description that will be separate. This insures that everything will be covered and that I won’t have to worry about the 5,000 character limit! Now… time to go through the “Elton karaoke” performances… Despite not having the cleanest intonation in places, and taking liberties with the lyrical phrasing, Brian Wilson does try his best on "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" which ranks among the most demanding Elton John songs to sing. Considering what the man had went through up to this point, just having him on the stage performing is something special. The vocal harmonies are a highlight of the performance.
