Today, I’m doing “Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding,” the opening track on Elton John’s iconic 1973 album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. This song is Elton’s masterpiece. It’s perfection wrapped in more perfection. Each transition, each sound, each instrument has a purpose. It really shows the genius of Elton, his band, and the producer Gus Dudgeon. This song was popular on FM radio in the early ‘70s, as it was before FM became like AM radio with just three-minute pop ditties. The two songs (Funeral For A Friend and Love Lies Bleeding) were written separately but recorded together to create one gigantic song. The runtime of the original version is over 11 minutes, but since I shortened the synthesizer intro here, it is a bit shorter. The synthesizer intro I used was a snippet I clipped out from the One Night Only concert in 2000. • Elton has used this track as the opening number on numerous tours. However, for the times that it was not used as an opener, it was placed in the middle of the setlist, which is what Elton has done for the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. • This song is challenging. It is one of the most complex songs I know. While it’s not hard to play, it’s difficult to play it right because it is really, really long. I hope you can still enjoy my performance of it, despite the few mistakes here and there! ;) • Patreon: / kyle_c
