Elton John - Your Song (Central Park, NYC 1980)

If there is a single moment that is most widely known in the canon of Elton live performances, this may well be it—Elton appearing as Donald Duck during his Central Park performance on September 13th, 1980 in New York. After struggling to get the Bob Mackie costume backstage, Elton sits down on his piano bench for the first time in the outfit and lets out a laugh as he realizes the padding won’t allow him to stay on the bench or easily work the foot pedals. Ultimately, it didn’t stop him from delivering a memorable rendition of ‘Your Song’.
