Good audio recording from Elton John's solo piano tour, Syracuse, New York 2000 April 18. I'm uploading the entire concert. This is track #20 - Blue Eyes. The song comes from Elton's 1982 album "Jump Up!" An Elton & Gary Osborne composition that became a hit single all over the world. It was also nominated for a Grammy in 1983. As was usually the case with Osborne songs (unlike Bernie Taupin or Tim Rice), Elton wrote the title and some of the lyrics first, and Osborne finished the lyrics after the music was composed. Music critic Thomas Ryan described the song as featuring some of the most sophisticated chord sequences that Elton John has ever written with a progression steeped in complex jazz changes and a melody that resonates with blue notes.
