Elton’s Peak: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
More than any other non-classical piece of work, it has everything the cinema can offer: the big dramatic opening with Funeral and Love Lies Bleeding; the passionate highs of Saturday Night and Alice; the inevitable downfall and tragedy of Danny Bailey and the title song; the longing for love of Candle in the Wind and I’ve Seen That Movie; the comedy of Social Disease; and, of course, the big, happy ending of Harmony.
