I'm 25 and singing this lovely song to my fiance at my wedding. If it wasn't for my father bringing me up on Elton John I would have never discovered this gem.
Elton is my gift. There’s no better musician. My love for him is forever growing. Just his soul captivates me completely. His music. There’s no words to express how much he means to me.
Who cares if he was on drugs or he wasnt... He is off chops, He is an amazing artists and until you walk the steps he has walked in his life you can not pass judgement because he has done amazing things for this world he is a musical genius
I was there with 2 of my brothers. 14 years old and my 2nd concert. The first was Simon & Garfunkel at the same place. I remember it being a great experience. I was super lucky.
His performances can be wacky and whimsical yet the depth of his emotion he puts into the serious side of the music he sings is beyond words and gives me much respect for him.
Philip, Thank you, this brings tears to my eyes. I was 15 and sat in the park for 6 hours in the heat, I'm standing by the tree off to the right of the stage. This was a great time, just everybody there to have a good time with good tunes and new friends. It wasn't the best of times but it sure wasn't the worst...
Please new generation ... Listen and appreciate such a masterpiece ... Thank you Elton John, you are a lesson, can't wait to see you in Paris in February
Hey I'm 18 and I've been an Elton fan since I was 16, even saw him live and I got his personal autograph... he's my #1 favorite and I know many folks younger than me who LOVE him too!
I'm as old as Elton was in this video. And I'm not dressed as Donald Duck, playing Your Song to half a million people in Central Park. I am an utter failure. At least I'm partying like the guy at 4:30.
I saw him earlier in the spring of 1980 Carbondale University of Southern Illinois where I attended school. . He was solo and wearing the duck suit then too. Must have liked it. I remember he did Imagine. This was months before Lennon was killed.
Wow wish i was there! Why dont the greats do central park anymore is out of this world. Elton is the greatrst his vpice gives me goose bumbs! Love love love!
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money, but, boy, if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live … If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you … And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple, but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world … I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned on … So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen … And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple, but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world … I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world

It kind of pisses me off when people come here to comment he was high on coke and stuff. Yeah, he was, so?... He's always been funny on stage, its part of who he is, high or sober.
Even though he was super blitzed, he did not disappoint me as he performed the best could while in this state. I did not mind if the little errors he said because of how high he was.
I don't think he was on coke here. He said in his book that despite all he did off the stage in his spare time that he actually never performed while on drugs until 1990 towards the end of the Sleeping With The Past tour when he lost his restraint
I saw this concert in Auckland NZ as part of his 1980 World Tour - superb concert. Enjoyed his cover of Imagine - John Lennon and of course the duck suit.
@@benjamintrahin9571 I'm with u on that, this must be what Robin Williams meant by "enough cocaine to kill a small horse", this isn't just laughing at something funny, this is cocaine giggles
I've seen over a thousand Elton John concerts! I'm still standing and I'm still bullshittin! A girl can dream big can she I love my Elton I want to see my Elton! I'm still standing
I was at this concert. Remember him playing in this donald duck suit. Amazing memories
Season Hubble IS this true???.
I’ve attended a concert of his at 2018 and it is one of the most deep experiences I’ve had in my life out of music
I’ll remember this throughout my life
Ly
Ok boomer
how old u is
very few people can say that they have performed in front of thousands of people in a donald duck costume
Jaclyn of Jaclynia 😂👌
It happens everyday in Disney Parks. :p
Nobody except sir Elton
Elton John, Donald Duck.
Only one person can say that lol
Elton finally gets sober 10 years later: “I DRESSED UP AS WHAT IN CENTRAL PARK???”
Underrated Comment😂
Very accurate comment. We live and we learn. It's just funny that he was dressed up, well, as a duck. He definitely learned.
My daughter passed away. She was half Hispanic, she was brilliant. She was 27. She tattooed a crown on her back,
Too funny how he changed the line, "I'd buy a big house where we both could live" to "I'd buy a big house for a couple of quid."
I think he forgot a lyric so he quickly changed
he was laughing too good times
@Ella Palafox 'Quid' is British slang for a pound note, which is the major unit of currency in the UK. That is, 'one quid' is equal to a one pound note, or £1 in actual UK currency.
Steve Struthers I thought he said “a couple of queers”
Luke Atkins I thought he said that to
People said he dressed up as a duck cause he was on drugs. He was on drugs, though I still think he would probably do it again sober 😂
he's still that chaotic sober
Also I think he would also do this again on drugs

Таланты всегда с чудинкой!!! Молодчина! На самом деле обожаю Elton.
I was in NYC that weekend. I walked through Central Park and this was the soundtrack to the evening. What a wonderful memory.
Elton has the best laugh and most infectious smile. I was there!!
QUACK! the way he sings it 3:15 is amazing, i almost enjoy it more than the original!
+Leonardo Copeland That's the bit that makes this performance for me
+Leonardo Copeland he was at his peak in the early 80's
Leonardo Copeland I’m assuming he was inspired by Billy Paul’s cover
That part keeps me sane in dark moments
It’s also in the 1974 Madison square garden version
Anybody who could rock a duck suit the way he does has some beyond this earth talent.
I'm 25 and singing this lovely song to my fiance at my wedding. If it wasn't for my father bringing me up on Elton John I would have never discovered this gem.
Elton is my gift. There’s no better musician. My love for him is forever growing. Just his soul captivates me completely. His music. There’s no words to express how much he means to me.
3:13 the look of satisfaction in his face after NAILING that note. 10/10
Who cares if he was on drugs or he wasnt... He is off chops,
He is an amazing artists and until you walk the steps he has walked in his life you can not pass judgement because he has done amazing things for this world he is a musical genius
I was there with 2 of my brothers. 14 years old and my 2nd concert. The first was Simon & Garfunkel at the same place.
I remember it being a great experience. I was super lucky.
His description of this costume and its complications, in his autobiography, is hilarious. I’m so glad there’s footage!
...It may be QUACK simple but now that it's done...
Ok..just kiddin. What a wonderful song! Well done Donald!
But now that it's duck !
Connor Mcguire 2 things : 1 , you're not funny AT ALL , and 2 , that moustache looks gay...
Smokey0791 Trying to call someone gay under a Elton John video is quite ironic.
Drugs or not man is one of the greatest pianists/song writers/performers of all time.
His performances can be wacky and whimsical yet the depth of his emotion he puts into the serious side of the music he sings is beyond words and gives me much respect for him.
I love Elton John. He has been such a blessing to my life.
I'm here because I'm reading his biography "Me. Elton John." Highly recommend it, great read, what a life!!!
Yes, me too!!!
Philip, Thank you, this brings tears to my eyes. I was 15 and sat in the park for 6 hours in the heat, I'm standing by the tree off to the right of the stage.

Wow
This is one of my favorites of Elton. So nice to see him smile. Best song ever!!
questa canzone non mi stanca mai l avro ascoltata 1000 volte Grazie Elton
No one:
Nobody at all:
1:14: QUACK
And 2:58 again QUACK 🤣🤣
At first Yes you think about drug he took etc. But later in the song you really see why he is one of the great artists, its passion simple and pure!
Tickets are now available for a trip in my time machine back to the 80s
I'll take five
This is beautiful. Everybody having so much fun.
Please new generation ... Listen and appreciate such a masterpiece ... Thank you Elton John, you are a lesson, can't wait to see you in Paris in February

Luckily my mom introduced me to Elton at a young age I'm 24. Probably my favorite artist of all time
Why am i crying? So amazin so touching. Love you Elton
This was 40 years ago now
This comment hits hard
I had that same panic attack
Me too! Those were good times!
I'm as old as Elton was in this video. And I'm not dressed as Donald Duck, playing Your Song to half a million people in Central Park. I am an utter failure.
At least I'm partying like the guy at 4:30.
"J.D. Whited" I know the feeling. BTW how old was Elton in 1980? This was only a few months before John Lennon died.
@@obscurelyvague -- 33 years old.
You’re not an failure. Success is subjective, there are lot of people nobody knows about but are super successful.
What a fucking legend.
I have loved Elton since the beginning of the 70´s. What a marvellous musician he is!
" Três anos depoois eu NASCIA cm a certeza de quê Elton John é um dos maiores artistas " 🇧🇷🎵🎶
🇬🇧
I was about 8 when this came out. Since then this song has always been one of the most influential to me.
Fantastique !!! Bravo !!! Superbe !!!
I saw him earlier in the spring of 1980 Carbondale University of Southern Illinois where I attended school. . He was solo and wearing the duck suit then too. Must have liked it. I remember he did Imagine. This was months before Lennon was killed.
It's good to see him happy
I LOVED being there to hear Sir Elton John perform. Miss those days...they were (and still are good)!
Won't see a crowd like this at Central Park again for a long, long, long time.
The non-cocaine version is at 0.75 speed!
The guys in the trees... I bet this was a great show!!
Well it sounds good to us, imagine how good it must sound to Elton with all that coke!
Alzor I feel he'd do the same sober. He's simply very flamboyant. Very...🌈🌈
I LOVE THIS MAN
My most favorite Song Ever ! Live in 1970 ! Elton John's Your Song" ! I play this song all the time !
Wow wish i was there! Why dont the greats do central park anymore is out of this world. Elton is the greatrst his vpice gives me goose bumbs! Love love love!
Nigel Olsson & Dee Murray are the most underrated Monster Rythem Sections Ever!!!
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but, boy, if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
…
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
…
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
…
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
…
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
…
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
…
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
And it never was a moment like that again
idk this is personally my best version of your song. seriously...coke did good man.
3:43 the man in the tree just frickin killed me😂😂
I watched this on HBO back in the day. Loved it then and love it now.
Голос супер!!!
What an amazing experience this show must have been. Moves me, on this shitty little screen.
Truly amazing🎉😊
I remember this concert on TV, wished I couldve been there.
It was amazing how he sanged. In my top 2 of the greatest singers ever.
I was born in July, 1980. And, I'm a big Elton's fan. Thank you for the video!

Such a great artist!
I remember watching this concert back in the day and being impressed by the drummer.
you have a great point
Sua voz estava na melhor fase, bem madura jovem e potente.
André Luís de Oliveira concordo
this is my new favourite video on the inernet
I just missed Icon (Sir) Elton John just this past yr.2017or 2018 here in El Paso, Texas at the Don Haskins Center but, sold out"!
“I’ll buy you a house for a couple of quid” -Elton John
superb talent!! living legend
What an absolute legend.
makes my blood freeze #beautifulvoice
*ELT❤️N,is Best Singer*
This is the only time I’ve heard this song as anything other than a somber heartfelt song
I love that he sings the end like Billy Paul’s cover.
The old times looks so great...
Lindo ele, linda musica❤
Lindo ele ,linda música e linda vc também
Wow! This concert happened exactly 33 years ago last Friday!

Wow Did he wear the duck suit in Auckland? 💓
@@redmozzie Yes he sure did, a number of costume changes during the concert.
UM GÊNIO POP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved it. I think he was laughing at himself more than anything. Don’t judge easily if you don’t know the person personally.
I mean maybe but...he's clearly high as hell in this video
@@benjamintrahin9571 I'm with u on that, this must be what Robin Williams meant by "enough cocaine to kill a small horse", this isn't just laughing at something funny, this is cocaine giggles

Un Buen concierto grabado para la historia.
So many drug experts here
The Truth hahahha truly?!
The Truth it's a fact tho.. dude loved his blow
Lol
The Truth you don’t have to be an expert to recognise the signs.
Lol dude he admitted it in his book, he was high AF. Also he kept giggling cause Bernie was PISSED
I love the Donald duck suit! Beautiful song 🤗❤️🎵
