(You have to listen to Elv playing Rockinghorse Road before you get to it - but it's hardly an ordeal as that too is ASTOUNDING!)

I think the first time was 10/17/86 in Boston. I'm pretty sure he played it on guitar. I remember he forgot the words.

Not the first or last time he forgot words, who can blame him? I just rest easy that BAM November 2015 was first time I saw it on guitar. Even with full band I think he never holds the guitar for it

Great clip. Thanks for sharing. Does anyone happen to have that Boston show from Oct 17 1986?
Who on earth is tapping at the window?

EC was playing it on guitar in the 86/87 shows: a few performances must be out there.
