That song is the reason that the only Elton John album I own is Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. And that was partly influenced by Dream Theater's cover of the song.

Dream Theater - Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding

Elton John’s Madman Across the Water is good, too.

On the subject, I vividly recall hearing “Yes” for the first time, the album was Fragile. Mood for a Day .. “That’s ONE person?” Has since then been an ambition to play that.

I’ve seen Yes perform live more times than any other band. Dating myself, No. 2 is Frank Zappa. Not a huge number of events for either. Real professionals, highly creative.

Their rendition of Simon and Garfunkle “America” is rockin’.

EJ and Bernie Taupin were one of the best song writing teams ever.

Even better than Lennon and McCartney IMO.
