Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy [Original recording remastered] [Deluxe Edition]

Amazon.com essential recording
Elton John has always liked having it both ways. He's flamboyant and vain, yet empathetic and sincere. He sits at his piano playing sentimental melodies, but the words come not from inside his soul but from friend Bernie Taupin. For Captain Fantastic, he and Taupin wrote a concept album which sketches their career together. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is easily the strongest song outside of the concept. The addition of several songs "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" featuring John Lennon, "Philadelphia Freedom," and "One Day at a Time" blow the concept but up the entertainment value considerably. --Rob O'Connor

The Story of their lives in song.......2007-06-18

Elton John and Bernie Taupin closed the chapter of their peak years by writing a song cycle about how they got there. "Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy" put away the glitter and the costumes and painted an austere portrait of the artists in their hungry years. By reigning in the excess and making many of the songs modest and sincere, "Captain Fantastic" gave fans of Elton the best of both worlds. The simpler storytelling of the earlier part of Elton's career was matched to the increasing confidence of his and Bernie's songwriting. While there was no glammy-hit with catchy chorus to be found on this album, it is easily the most consistent work of their glory days. It even made history by becoming the very first album to enter the charts at number one.

It is also the most sentimental of Elton's albums. The humble beginnings are underscored by the title track, and the orchestrated original closer of "Curtains/We All Fall In Love Sometimes" is beautifully done. The late Producer Gus Dudgeon made this album glow rather than flash - he may be one of the most underrated participants in Elton's career. (He passed away in 2002.) This was such a departure for Elton stylistically that only one song became a hit single, the song of love lost without regrets "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," in which Long John Baldry and Bernie talked Elton out of going through with a marriage that would have seen him ending his musical career. It is a powerful ballad and fits in even better when positioned in the "Captain Fantastic" storyline.

Because the album is a concept album, it is best listened to as a piece. The angry "Meal Ticket" is a great rock song, as is "Bitter Fingers." But it is the way all the pieces fit that brings out the brilliance of this album. Even though two of the three bonus tracks are number one hits, they are actually a distraction here. Even the liner notes concede that point, claiming that Elton and Bernie were really trying to stay true to form, and had no issues with recording singles as items not album specific. Even so, how many albums can have bonus material as terrific as Elton's cover of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" or concert classic "Philadelphia Freedom?" Anyway you look at it, bonus tracks or no, "Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy" is a classic, the moment that captures all parties at the pinnacle of their powers at a time when they were also at their most commercially successful.

After-note: I received this album for a gift on my 15th birthday, and met Elton John in Philadelphia in 1989. When I told him how I got the album (and the poster), he laughed and said "you're making me feel f'n old." That poster - also signed by Bernie - is framed and hanging in a treasured spot on my office wall.

Are there more stars..........2007-05-08

Of all of the dozens of CD's you could get with this guy, you can't beat "Fantastic". The best of Elton John and Bernie Taupin is RIGHT HERE. You don't have to look no more!!! Gif.

Brown Dirt Cowboy~ Elton John.......2007-05-06

Bought this in vinyl but lost all my albums so
I bought it again when cassettes were the fad.
Just had to have it on CD..... bought it again!
Now I have in on my computer forever.
Love it!

Ending An Era In Style.......2006-12-02

Elton was just a singles machine, when this album came out. But he used all those singles to guarantee an audience for this brilliant, very uncommercial masterpiece. The album debuted at number one, but people expecting more "Daniel" or "The Bitch Is Back" were undoubtedly shocked, but hopefully not disppointed. This album has it all. It rewards the true Elton John fans who waited through numerous commercial hits for an album worthy of his earlier work. As if inspired by the story line, his early career with Bernie Taupin, Elton and Bernie seemingly go back in time and come up with just an incredible album as good as anything he had ever done to that point, and miles better than anything he would ever do again.

The bonus tracks include two number one monster singles. Not bad for bonus tracks.

Absolutely one of the greatest albums of all time!.......2006-11-05

Elton John was a 70s version of the fab four
rolled up in one... he's on full display here..
his band sounds amazing...

Anyway you look at it, bonus tracks or no, "Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy" is a classic, the moment that captures all parties at the pinnacle of their powers at a time when they were also at their most commercially successful.

I received this album for a gift on my 15th birthday, and met Elton John in Philadelphia in 1989. When I told him how I got the album (and the poster), he laughed and said "you're making me feel f'n old." That poster - also signed by Bernie - is framed and hanging in a treasured spot on my office wall. So imagine my delight when this deluxe version contained not only a replication of that infamous Alan Aldridge cover art and the two booklets from the original 12-incher?

Then there is the matter of the extra-CD. Shortly after the album was released, Elton joined a concert that opened with The beach Boys, The Eagles, Joe Walsh, Rufus with Chaka Khan and ended the day by playing the Captain Fantastic album from start to finish. You can hear the wonder in the crowd, who are all getting to hear almost brand new material for the first time. (Elton recently debuted "The Captain and the Kid" to an NYC audience in the same fashion.) Elton is obviously hyper-enthused about this showcase and it comes through in the performance. The between song comments are telling, and worth hearing for his brief explanations about the creation of this classic.

The Deluxe edition of "Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy" is one of the rarities in its expanded version; all the extra goodies justify the extra cost. It takes an already classic album and makes it even more desirable.

Captain Fantastic CD.......2007-01-05

What a fabulous CD. The original tracks, plus a concert recording. The music is crisp. It was a great bit of music years ago and sounds fantastic now. Elton John is timeless.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin at the Top of Their Game.......2006-11-17

I could hardly wait in 1975 to acquire Elton's new album, one of the hundreds of thousands of people who bought the album as soon as it was available in record stores, making it the first album to be #1 at its release. I placed the record on the player, sure that I was going to hear another "Yellow Brick Road." Then I was puzzled. What kind of music was this? It was not simple pop with catchy tunes. It was - well - complicated, and sophisticated. It was also Elton's first concept album and it took me a while to realize that this album was the story of Elton and Bernie's rise to fame in what appeared to be a relatively short period of time, but which actually took from 1966 to occur.

As I said, this music is very complicated, sophisticated, and beautiful. There are faster songs, but some of Elton's most carefully crafted music is here as well. The album begins with the title tune, a rock song with a bit of country flavor that represents the flamboyant heart of Elton and the quieter, western-loving Bernie Taupin. The song alternates between a style reminiscent of "Madman Across the Water" and a style that was more fully realized in "Rock of the Westies."

In "The Tower of Babel" and "Bitter Fingers" the dynamic duo lament the difficulties of getting into the entertainment industry. The first song is about the difficulty of entry, the second is about being a stable hack for a record company, churning out songs by the basketful to make ends meet, never seeming to work fast enough or to earn enough. "Bitter Fingers" has a beautiful piano entry, which extends into the song.

"Tell Me When the Whistle Blows" can play on several levels. The style of the song is quite similar to songs such as "Danny Bailey" or "I've Seen That Movie Too" from "Yellow Brick Road." There is a fast rock beat, but the violins give a rich, lush feel. Part of the song longs for being home and part of the song wonders whether the maturing individual in the song still has the talent and enthusiasm he had when he was a wild kid.

Then "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" comes, one of the most phenomenal songs that Bernie and Elton have ever written. This song is about a time when Elton was nearly ready to get married and Bernie talked him out of it. The complexity of this music is symphonic. The piano chords and the harmonies are full and show Elton John having fully mastered the art of creating music.

The next two songs, "Gotta Get a Meal Ticket" and "Better off Dead," are faster and are about aspects of being starving artists. Both are decent songs, but they are preludes to the last three songs of the original album.

"Writing" is a song about success. Once we are successful, how long can we sustain that success? Also, what will people in the future think about what we did. Will it have meaning for them, and will they think it is good? Bernie's lyrics tell a story, and Elton's music and performance does an outstanding job complementing the lyrics.

The next two songs remain among my all-time favorite Elton John songs. "We All Fall in Love Sometimes" and "Curtains" transition from one to the next. Though the topics are different, the tenor and beauty of the music is common. When Elton allows his piano to come to the forefront of his music the result is nearly always wondrous. "We All Fall" also has one of the best bridges in an Elton John song. Elton also plays a harpsichord and a mellotron, used so effectively by the Moody Blues in the previous decade. The results can only be appreciated by listening.

"Curtains" begins so beautifully that when I am mellow it brings tears to my eyes. The lyrics are brought to life by Elton's vocal and musical interpretation, striking into your heart and soul. Only the emotionless could fail to appreciate this fragile, emotional music.

This album was the culmination of years of effort. The music is mature and well-crafted. Beautiful seems a paltry word to describe much of it. The production was the best ever of any Elton John album to date. The skill of the art was Elton and Bernie's, and they capitalized on it to create one of the best rock albums of all time.

Included on the first disk of this two disk set are four bonus songs. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was a big hit in 1975 for Elton John, and featured the talents of Elton's friend John Lennon. "Philadelphia Freedom" was another big Elton John hit, and was written as a tribute. "One Day at a Time" and "House of Cards" are decent songs that help fill out this disk.

This edition of "Captain Fantastic" includes a second disk that is a live performance of "Captain Fantastic" and two encore songs, "Pinball Wizard" and "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting." I am amazed at the quality of Elton John's live albums. "17-11-70" and "Here and There" are joined by the amazing second disk of this set. I loathe buying second copies of CD's, but in this case fans of Elton's early music should strongly consider buying this edition.

Unfortunately I am inadequate for the task of adequately reviewing this CD. While Elton had many creative moments and beautiful songs prior to this album, and had many other excellent compositions, for one magical album the music, the lyrics, and the production all came together to create an album for all times and all ages. While I generally feel that people are silly for saying they want to give a CD dozens of stars, this album would rate more than five stars if I could give them.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ALBUM, PLUS UNIQUE WEMBLEY SHOW BONUS.......2006-10-18

such a big difference between the elton from this era and now, the voice is not the same, and the melodies are not the same. and captain and the kid, even if it's a good attempt to rivalize with what he used to do is still nothing compare to this or goodbye yellow brick road.
"saved in time, thank god my music's still alive", that's one of those lines that is history and it turns you a bit happier or a bit sad but it does something to you and that's emotion. the druming is heavy, the snare sounds so plain, it's good to hear that and the acoustic guitar is put forward, and some of the harmonies remind those of the beatles. every song on this album is a masterpiece, and the wembley show on the second disc is such a unique experience, what an amazing thing to play the whole album plus john lennon's "one day at a time", very pretty song.
i rate this album along with "blue moves" and "goodbye yellow brick road" as the best john's albums, that's why i highly recommend that record.

A True Masterpiece.......2006-06-14

Perhaps it was the otherwise gaudy cover of the previous album, "Caribou", which drove Elton to commission a serious artist for the cover of his next project. One's first contact with this album is the album cover...and one's first impression is simply "wow!"

That "wow" feeling continues as one listens to the album. Every song is a keeper. Elton's melodies are varied and catchy, and Bernie's lyrics tell the autobiographical story of their rise to stardom, from lowly songwriters on Tin Pan Alley struggling to get by to the greatest songwriting duo in pop rock (excluding perhaps Lennon/McCartney of course).

The title track starts off country before rocketing off into a jamming chorus. "Tower of Babel" is a catchy pop tune. It is amazing how much Elton's voice has progressed at this point. He hits all those really, really high notes like it was nothing. "Bitter Fingers" shows off Elton's spectacular piano work. "When the Whistle Blows" has a phenomenal backing string arrangement and oozes with that "Philly sound" that was so en vogue in 1975.

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" commemorates old Bluesology bandmate Long John Baldry (from whom Elton got his new last name) and how he saved him when Elton tried to commit suicide. He was scheduled to marry the daughter of a slaughterhouse magnate in the mid 1960s. Following the failed suicide attempt, Baldry talked him out of it. Oh, by the way, this is also one of the greatest songs ever written, period.

"Meal Ticket" is a pure rocker. The album ends in classic form with the tender "We All Fall in Love Sometimes" and the crescendo of "Curtains". Note the appearance of a scarecrow in this song, for the first song Elton and Taupin penned was called "Scarecrow."

The remastered version makes a great album even better by adding two number one singles Elton had at the time, "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" recorded with John Lennon in 1974, and "Philadelphia Freedom" from 1975.

The 30th Anniversary deluxe version features Elton's June 21, 1975 concert in Wembley where he performed all of Captain Fantastic, cover to cover. Elton was headlining the performance. He was following up the Beach Boys and the Eagles who were performing on the same bill. It was a tough act to follow and Elton perhaps overstated his popularity with the fans. They were not willing to swallow the new, yet-to-be-released album whole and, yearning for the classics like "Rocketman" or "Crocodile Rock", they flocked to the exits.

Luckily you don't hear the fans flocking to the exits, but rather the thankful few who stuck around. Those who did leave missed a hell of a performance. They are surely kicking themselves for it thrity years later given the subsequent popularity of "Captain Fantastic". Elton's playing with his new band (minus Dee Murray and Nigel Olson) is energetic. The title track really smacks of country here. The extended jam on "Meal Ticket" is impressive as is the rocking jam at the end of "Curtains". The sound quality is superb. The concert ends with two hard rocking numbers, Townsend's "Pinball Wizard" and "Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting."

This album was the first EVER to enter the Billboard charts at Number 1, and with good reason. While there are no big singles on this album, the most refined critics consistently name this as Elton's best album.

A semi-biographical concept album.......2002-10-23

This was originally released 1975 in the U.S. and Canada by MCA, and DJM for the rest of the free world, initially by Toshiba-EMI in Japan, then Nippon Phonogram. The edition on this page was released 1995 by Rocket/Mercury/Universal. The songs originally on the album Bernie Taupin reflectively wrote about he and Elton's early days together, which is why there's a scrapbook with some history, old photos, and a comic. The bonus tracks were first on 45s only, which I'ma sell now that I have this CD. A must for all fans.
