All right, now here is the continuation of my awesome description of Central Park 1980 for part 2! After a breather, Elton returns, now wearing a military-style suit with piano keys, complete with a matching hat, and plays an energetic version of Saturday Night&Alright, which is one of the best live versions ever, with hectic vocals and piano FTW! And also, the audience is eagerly participating in the "Saturdays" near the end. It is worth noting that in the 2nd verse, his stoned nature comes out when he says "give me love" instead of "see me right", I love it! He then follows it with Harmony, another Yellow Brick Road song, which he introduces as one of his "most famous non-played numbers," but he "decides to play it this time," and it just fantastic, even better than the album version! Next is a song from 21 at 33, "a song about naughty substances" as EJ puts it, and that is White Lady White Powder, and it is very energetic, with fun vocals and sprightly piano and instrumentals. This is then followed by another 21 at 33 song, Little Jeannie, Elton&hit of 1980. IMO, this is better than the album version, the slightly faster pacing and Elton&great vocals and the instrumentation here make it so. Bennie and the Jets is next, and it is easily the best version of 1980 and one of my personal favorite live versions of Bennie ever, and it isn&hard to see why: it has great vocals as always, and great instrumentation, plus an amazing piano improv solo at the end which EJ is famous...
