Ray cooper is a genius. A calm and collected mad man. Just brilliant.

I saw Ray Cooper with Elton back in the 70's, just the two of them. It was magical.

I find Ray mezmorising. What passion. Need more people in the world that exude pure unadulterated passion.

Ray Cooper helps make a show even greater. I saw him in concert with Elton and Billy joel many years ago, and he was incredible. ( not a musician you will forget easy)

[geoffdavies]

Ray Cooper must be the worlds most underrated entertainer, thanks for making me smile, RIP old son

[lawrencemayfield]

I worked this show for the entire run it was great!. Ray Cooper is one of the best human beings on earth.!

[peternorthe]

Ahhh yes! With Ray you don't just get a percussionist... you get a conductor, a musician and performer all in one. Just look at that gong... you know he means business! There's a good reason why all the big names seek him out for their concerts and sessions.

[davidwakefield]

The best percussionist in the friggin world. Your the best Ray

[davidschmude]

I’ve seen Ray Cooper three times. Oh…. Elton John was there, too. 😊

In the late 70s I saw Elton John with Ray Cooper twice at festival Hall Melbourne still remember so much about those 2 nights, special performance from Mr Cooper

Ray Cooper is a genius and the consummate showman.

Ray Cooper just blows me away. I saw him in person and he did a solo, in MI many many years ago. When he did his solo it was with JUST a gong. At first everyone got real still and as he got going, we all stood and I swear just SCREAMED and YELLED through out the set. There was a woman sitting next to me that just started shaking and crying she was so moved. I asked her if she was ok and she said yes, I just wasn't expecting that. He is THAT awesome.

[razvantasca]

Saw them but back in '93, a GREAT moment ! 🙏💖🙏

[caramanico]

Seen Elton many times, and one of the top couple of shows was definitely the one with only him and Ray. Fabulous!

I first saw Ray C playing with Clapton on his 25 Anniversary at the Royal Albert Hall, Mark Knopfler also on stage, I couldn’t take my eyes off Ray Cooper, loved him ever since, proper talented showman 👍

[wrongmark]

I think this was the “Million dollar piano” set at Caesars Palace. I saw this while I was there. We were in LV, wanted to see a concert and had a choice of either Sheryl Crow or Elton that night. So glad we choose the latter. Absolutely awesome concert. I was converted to be an Elton fan as a result (after hearing him played for years by my parents). Ray was awesome too.

[charlewis]

Yeah keep focusing on the piano player!
The percussionist is the focus here, I love you Ray C!!

[douglashegle]

Wouldnt be much of a show without the animation... Ray Cooper is a fantastic percussionist, in the studio he compliments and never overshadows Nigel Olsson, his tambourine adds a much needed "laying it back" feel when Roger Pope was on drums... if Elton didn't want his extravagant visual performance, he wouldnt be there. it's great entertainment and great fun

[belenduranlares]

Excelentes interpretaciones los extrañaremos

[lynfoster]

Why be boring? Ray makes every show that much better. He’s just fun to watch.
