- "Sixty Years On" is a song by Elton John, which first appeared on his eponymous album, Elton John. The lyrics were written by long-time writing partner Bernie Taupin, and the music by John. The original recording for featured a dynamic, characteristic string arrangement from Paul Buckmaster. A concert performance captured on John's 1987 live album Live in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is also heavily orchestrated and the song is traditionally played in concert with orchestral backing. However, the recording which appeared on John's 1970 live album, 17-11-70, and performances on John's Rocket Man Solo Tour have proven that the song can be played with minimal instrumentation. The song tells the story of a handicapped war veteran who lives alone with a dog. He is unwilling to live in such conditions. John used the song to open his show at Madison Square Garden on 25 March 2007. The show was performed on, and in dedication, of his sixtieth birthday. The performance was also Elton John's record breaking sixtieth performance at Madison Square Garden.
- Sixty Years On è un brano composto e interpretato dall'artista britannico Elton John. Il testo è di Bernie Taupin. Rimane una delle canzoni più sofisticate dell'album omonimo dell'artista, suonato praticamente live con l'orchestra, nel più puro stile barocco. È da catalogarsi nel symphonic progressive rock. Molto evidenti in tutto il pezzo gli archi (che hanno anche una parte tutta loro) e si fanno ben sentire gli ingegnosi arrangiamenti di Paul Buckmaster. Degna di nota anche l'arpa che viene messa in evidenza nell'introduzione. La melodia è decisamente cupa e malinconica, così come il testo di Taupin, tenebroso e oscuro come quasi tutte le canzoni dell'album (ad eccezione di No Shoestrings On Louise). Spesso eseguita live, la si può trovare per esempio nell'album Live in Australia. È stata inoltre esibita come primo brano nel monumentale concerto al Madison Square Garden volto a festeggiare i 60 anni di Elton.
