Yeah, same guitar effect as MBS, what do they call that chorus effect or something?

OK steel guitar solo for what in my book is an otherwise atrocious song. For side 2 I always just skipped right over to "Before They Make Me Run".

Great solo indeed and what is one of my favorite Elton John songs of all time.

The video is absolutely horrendous though, probably one of the worst sexploitation videos ever made.

Too bad such a high class musician, can have such low class principles! Not exactly a man standing in the winner's circle, in my book.

I agree with you, that video doesn't do justice to the beautiful song. I love Elton John's music, he's one of my fav singers/pianists. Back in the '90s, I had to buy a second copy of "The One" because I listened to it so much that the CD wasn't longer playable

Continuing to talk about this album, what about the Gilmour' solo on "Understanding Women"? (3:09)

Clapton solo (2:28 - 2:46 / 4:22...fade out)

Goosebumps...

If you are unaware of this band or have never heard the track, I urge you to sit back with your hands behind your head drink or smoke if you got em and breath in this solo... It's gotta be one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces on a guitar ever. Sooo underrated! SOLO 1:33 TO 2:15...

Inspired me to learn the song and now it's currently my favorite ELO song to play.
