Preview Elton John’s ‘Madman Across the Water’ 50th Anniversary with “Rock Me When He’s Gone (Full Version)”

In the weeks since Sir Elton John detailed an upcoming 50th anniversary edition of 1971’s Madman Across the Water, a few songs have surfaced as a means of previewing the massive collection.

The latest is “Rock Me When He’s Gone (Full Version),” a more than seven-minute song included on the revisiting of the record, which will be released on June 10.

Here’s the jubilant, energetic “Rock Me When He’s Gone (Full Version)”:
