I beg to differ. I mean he didn't write music. I would say a great pianist, a great singer especially before the operation. A living legend, but genius nah.
@@justtimm1255 Here's a direct quote from Elton John. "When I first started writing with Bernie it was exactly the same as it is now: I would get a lyric, I would go away, and write the melody and play it to him. That's never changed. It's the same thing now and it's as exciting now as it was then," he told host Jimmy Kimmel. "So if I write a song on this album and I've finished it, I go and bring him in and say, 'Listen, this is the song,' and then the band come in and learn it and we put it down.
@@stormking989 Well that's all great, but that is your experience. Whether it true is the question. I've read where Be rnie writes all the music. So I guess somebody has to be wrong. The proof is on the Albums themselves do we see any that credit Elton as the writer. I will say if he's a writer yes he's a genius. Either way I enjoy his music immensely, and his 1976 live solo performance of someone save my life was the greatest live performance ever in my opinion.
Elton John quacking in a Donald Duck suit in a live performance was something I didn't know I needed to see in my life. The two dudes chilling in the tree was a bonus!
I was there with my nana. At first it was a lovely day with everyone picnicing on blankets but, as the crowd grew and pushed forward we lost our belongings and almost were trampled. My nana (70 yo at the time) wanted to leave but, I begged to stay. She was tired and scared but, when she saw him come out in this outfit she laughed so loud people noticed her and cheered her on for being a rockin granny! She danced and shouted and had a blast. It was a memory I will always cherish. Elton John will always be the greatest songman!
Guinness book, more than 400.000 people at Central Park NYC - Sept.13.1980 - The living legend, Sir Elton John. The soundtrack of my life since 1972. Blessings to him !!!
Elton John. Este cara deveria ter viva eterna, o mundo precisa de pessoas como ele ,Tina Tunner, Phil Collins, todo o pessoal das músicas do anos 70- 80 e 90 ❤❤❤...Lafaiete. Brasil.
Having loved Elton for so many years..this Donald Duck is one of my favourites…had this whole video on vhs in the 1980’s and watched over and over..I was in my 20’s then and It stills brings a smile now I’m 58…rock on Elton. X
I WAS THERE! There were millions of people enjoying a fantastic concert I don't remember much (I was 20 and partied all day) but I remember the Duck outfit and this song ❤
This is the most beautiful love song that’s EVER been written on the face of this planet!!! It makes my heart yearn to feel this kind of loving bond between two souls. Platonic Respect of Being. ♥️
One of the best days of my life. So much fun to have been there. An absolutely perfect day. The ONLY downside was that we all thought that John Lennon was going to show up, but alas nope. Such fantastic memories.
Este hombre es un genio, un maestro en el piano, grande Sir Elton John, un ídolo junto a Bernie Taupin, si estos dos genios no se hubieran conocido, no tendríamos estás grandiosas canciones. Elton + Bernie = obra maestra
In his book he said that whenever he sings that line he always laughs inside because how much has changed for him over the years he finds it ironic lol
Elton é o melhor músico que existe. Sou sua fã desde minha infância e continuarei a te ouvir sempre. Essa versão ficou maravilhosa e o que dizer de sua fantasia? Kkkkk nada a dizer, apenas apreciar a sua irreverência. ❤
I love this. I was smiling the entire time. Not even because of the funny outfit but because hes giggling through the entire thing! Hes really enjoying himself and I love it!
I'm so mad I was born in 1981 because I adore Elton. If I was in my 20s in 1980 I would of been in love with him lol. I'm 39 and I'm in love with 1980 Elton lol
Love it how he’s just cracking himself up...
Quacking?
Coking himself up is more like it.....
He's quacking himself up
He isn’t sober
I think he meant to say GACK as opposed to QUACK...
No one noticing how effortlessly he's playing that piano?... just singing, goofing around and interacting with folks on stage and the crowd...
I think everyone notices that lol
Its pretty insane
The man is a musical genius.
yes he is a cleaver musical genius
@@Theturnershow0 meat cleaver?

2:45 is why I think this is one of best performances of Your song he's ever done
Leo McCrann great rendition and makes me wish it was on the studio version
@@dillonspindler1466 agreed, studio version is a little dull after a while so this on RUclips was a good new taste of the song much more energy
I thing the one Live in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is by far the best but this one is also really good
It gave me goosebumps

Elton is good-for-nothing!! Overestimated piece of crap!
2:45 I love his jazzy way to sing this song
Souly way
Elton looks so happy 😊
probably not at this time, he was most likely on drugs which is sad to think about
@@isla8132 dodgers was 1975 but this is 1980 not sure if he was..

He's taken 50000 cocaines

Elton + Bernie = obra maestra
Loved this era with Elton John❤
2:30-2:50 DEFINES Elton John. Completely having a ball laughing at himself and then breaking out an unbelievable twist to the song.
Yeah I loved that part. He didn't even have to try to create an incredible adlib. This man is pure music!
This one bit probably inspired Billy Paul's version I BET!
Aí ele demonstrou o gênio que é!
A natural and enduring supertalent. He has always just let the music out. No restraint, or caution. Too much talent to need that.
I love this song
Oh my Lord. This makes me so very happy right now!
lmao. Elton giggling is so money. then he quacks hahahahah
He's a ducky duck. He deserves to quackity quack quack *QUACK!*
Lol ur right
40 years ago, his friend John Lennon would be murdered not far from this stage.
@@resireg R.I.P John Lennon 😭
@@resireg Jesus dude, mood killer much?
I just am in love with this man!
I love how energetic and passionate he is... this is such a gorgeous song, and he made it so fun in this performance! Love ya, EJ! ❤️

So funny! So wonderful! What a voice!

How wonderful life is while Elton is in the world!
Such an amazing man and talent....I have never cried over a musician dying but Elton will be the first....just timeless
Best years..! My dear Donald
After watching the film, it's so good to see a performance of him where he just seems really happy! :D
It might be simple ... but I think this is the most beautiful song ever
God we are so blessed to have such an amazing human in our lives! Love Elton John!

Joie...Merveilleux Elton...Souvenir éternel!
I don't care what he was dressed as it took nothing away from that talent! He still performed the hell out of this song!
Recuerdo este concierto porque mi papá tenía el original (video) en Betamax, y aún lo tiene. Elton me encantó desde niña ❤️
Sí super original, super cantante y más en vivo :O
Grateful for all the songs and memories, what a Living Legend.
0:21 it’s funny how he has to laugh when he sings „I don’t have much money“
0:37 LOL
Calvin Jacks he normaly sings : we could both live
Calvin Jacks what he sing actually
In his book he said that whenever he sings that line he always laughs inside because how much has changed for him over the years he finds it ironic lol
Cause he rich
One of the best pianist ever :D
jejeje...me encantaron los CUAC!!.Es un espectáculo ver a Sir Elton realizando lo que ama..por eso se lo ve tan feliz.
Hi zully
Elton é o melhor músico que existe. Sou sua fã desde minha infância e continuarei a te ouvir sempre. Essa versão ficou maravilhosa e o que dizer de sua fantasia? Kkkkk nada a dizer, apenas apreciar a sua irreverência. ❤
I was wondering why i felt unsettled then I realized...
NO GLASSES!!!
police: stop calling its not that big of a deal
me:nouo glassases!
He stopped wearing sunglasses for a while around this time. Said he found confidence in himself and didnt need to hide behind them anymore
the same at live aid 85’! weirrdddd
He does not look like himself
@@donaldcouch3832 until he realized that the glasses are what makes him him
Sir Elton John dressed as Donald duck is the best thing I've ever seen.
I was at this concert. It was great. I remember the duck suit. ❤️
Me too...
Love how he laughed through out bit it seems normal legend
Great song and great performer! Very sympathetic.
