I was HOOKED on cocaine for ten years and every time I hear this song .. I get overwhelmed with emotions... I first heard this song when I was a kid..my mother played all Elton's songs as I growing up... .. when I was in my 20s and falling fast to my rock bottom this magical song was playing on the radio in my car.. I listened to it word for words and it was like an epiphany came over me... this song touched my soul and mended my heart right then.. Elton saved my life that night.... too bad he'll never know... but I thank God and Elton John til this day.... 11 years sober now and lead a beautiful life with my children and family.. 🎶💜

I’m 61 years old now, and I definitely grew up in a different time than now! Seeing Elton John welcome this beautiful young lady to sit at the piano with him is something that unfortunately could probably not happen today. It kind of reminds me of watching Hank Aaron hit his 715th HR and those two young guys running around the bases with him! Remarkable visual I’ll never forget, but it sadly can’t be like that ever again! Glad I grew up in the 70’s!! 🎸🎸

It was amazing seeing the young woman get close enough access to Elton to plant a kiss on his cheek, start to run back to her seat, only to have him pull her back to sit next to him as he finished the song. Then to realize less than three months later Elton's good friend John Lennon would be assassinated right down the street from this concert. I'm in my late 60's now but remember people like John Gacy, Ted Bundy, the Son of Sam, etc dominating the headlines. Wars happened, innocent people were killed back then much like all the crazy shit that dominates today's news. When I reminisce of those long ago days to my kids and grandkids I try to focus on the positive, but I never say my generation was any better or worse than those before or after. It's not true from what I remember. It's all in each person's perception, I suppose. Regardless, what an amazing performance by Elton John, I'm glad we are able to "witness" these great old concerts on KZitem. Couldn't do that back in my day 😉

He is one in a million and I've been able to follow him earnestly, since he's a mere five (5) years younger than me - hard to believe we've both aged this quickly - Life is short indeed) My favorite song of all: "Your Song" - that's "pure early Elton John. "You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue"! How many times I've listened to it? Numbers don't go that high! This song brings back so many many memories of Good & Bad Memories; all of them treasured by me! Thank you for reading my epic comment! God Bless

Yes... life is SUCH a quick journey! When I turned forty, I thought... lordy lordy indeed! It seemed impossible... me?? FORty?? THEN, next thing I know... I'm FIFty!!.. ?? But.... then... I take a breath, and.... I'm SIXTY!!! WHAT??? Yes, I turned "60 Years On", this past summer. Unfathomable. So... I know 70 is going to be here tomorrow, then poof... I'm at 80 just after that, right there with you. My my, the considerations I've had over the past several years of what life REALLY is. It's quite remarkable. A few little decades, and poof... we're out of here. I've had more friends and family leave this life the past few years than I ever have. I suppose that makes sense, the closer we ourselves come to the edge. All before us have pushed on ahead. Our own personal time is coming. I could literally write a book about my considerations (its ALL a part of the condideration... ALL of life... and even Elton has a part of that consideration in my own life, his influence on me... see my own channel here. I'm VERY Elton influenced in the musical part of my life). I've come to some deep considerations, and it's an amazing interconnected web of everything from what we label "religion", to science, to philosophy, and even including "Near Death Experiences", fractal mathematics (fascinating implications toward our "reality"), and people such as Emanuel Swedenborg and others. I can't "prove" anything. But I have VERY strong indication and reason to believe "this life" is simply the intro, to what's truly to come, after that final breath. We take EVERY instant of it all with us... including every note we've ever heard of an Elton song 😊 I'm flabbergasted, and moreso every day along the journey! Blessings to you friend. From this mere total stranger's heart, to your own! 💞 (P.S. John 3:14-19, indeed! Spoken by an absolute angel! I saw that after I typed out this response to you ❤)

Also, if someone is known for being tolerant of it, it may lead to more people trying it later, which could cause more issues. In this instance, I would like to think that it was combination of Elton’s drugged up state, and/or him being in a genuine good mood and he just said fuck it...I want her up here if she wants to be here.

Elton John is on top of his game here, singing outdoors in Central Park, NY and the world was a much simpler, safer place. That woman toward the end of the song could just scramble up to smooch the star without security catching her way before she gets to him. But Elton reaches back and pulls her onto his piano bench. She's on top of the world and he's enjoying the moment, also. Truly, we will not have a moment like this again.

@@Qwerty-sl3ns Interesting problem, how to be safe; lots of poor quality information out there. Crime in the USA generally increased through the 60s and on into the 80's, as guns were outlawed and only the outlaws had guns, but the big increase in random mass murders had hardly got started in 1980. The big increase in that came after 2000, and especially after 2016; we need to focus on what happened, what changed - and don’t forget, we had plenty of guns in the 1950's and no mass murders. We have better treatment for mental health but we need to work on making it available to more people; and the reason for doing that is not so much the very few mentally ill people who commit murder, but to help the millions of people who suffer alone.

I highly doubt it. This concert was in September 1980 and John Lennon spent most of the Summer of 1980 in Bermuda writing for Double Fantasy. He had sailed to the UK in June, so then to Bermuda, and I believe it was in November 1980 when he got back to NYC.

@@marcisikoff wrong. From Wikipedia’s article on Double Fantasy: “Sessions for the album began at The Hit Factory in New York City on 7 August 1980 and continued through 19 October 1980. They produced dozens of songs, enough to fill Double Fantasy and a large part of a projected second album, Milk and Honey.” Clearly, Lennon and Yoko Ono were in New York City in September of 1980. They didn’t arrive back in November. If only there were some way you could have confirmed that before correcting Joe. 🙄

@@theaterdreamer In the middle of 1980, Lennon embarked on a sailing trip from Newport, Rhode Island, to Bermuda. During the journey, his yacht encountered a prolonged severe storm. Most of the crew succumbed to fatigue and seasickness except Lennon, who was eventually forced to take the yacht's wheel alone for many hours. It had the effect of both renewing his confidence and making him contemplate the fragility of life. As a result, he began to write new songs and reworked earlier demos. He commented later, "I was so centered after the experience at sea that I was tuned in to the cosmos - and all these songs came!"[4] Ono also wrote many songs, inspired with new confidence after Lennon had stated that he believed that contemporary popular music, such as "Rock Lobster" by the B-52's, bore similarities to Ono's earlier work. Seems to me that he was in fact in Bermuda for some of that since he sailed there and back.

Some events in your life you'll never forget. This concert was that event for me. I was 19, you could buy booze at 18 back then. He took the stage about 4pm. Scott Muni (WNEW dj) introduced him. Yes, there is a debate as to the crowd size, but there was no debate that the crowd loved Elton that day. The music was awesome, the weed flowed freely, and virtually everyone had an alcohol drink. At end of the show, Elton pitched for everyone to clean up, pick up their trash. And that they did. I never saw so many mountains of liquor and beer bottles piled so well. The cops back then in CP concerts weren't dicks, like they are today. On the way back to Jersey City, on a super-packed subway I struck it up with a hot chick and got laid in her car on a hot, muggy night in a Hoboken factory parking lot.

@@treydrier3169 Not that my opinion matters, I know it does not. But for what its worth, Stevie is great, but not even close to Elton. And Whitney is only known for her pipes, and in that regard she stands alone. Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Elton....all are in a class of their own. Their lyrics alone separate them from most of the rest.

I feel the same! This song always makes me emotional. This song was a big part of my upbringing and childhood. Sure, I grew up on Elton John but it was a lot more than that. At 55, this song still has the capacity to cut me down. I actually was there, in Central Park in 1980. We decided to head down at the last minute and I am glad we did. It was crazy down there but we made it pretty close to the stage. This song is my favorite song of all time. I already have tickets to see him in June when he comes to St Paul, Minnesota. It's gonna be great!

I love this song.It is one of my favorites.It's about Elton's break up with his girlfriend(Linda Woodrow).They supposed to be married but He didn't want that. Then one day ,one of his friends called John Baldry(Sugar Bear) who was also a musician convinced him to break up with the lady is good for him and also good for his musical career. So the word "Someone" in the title of the song alludes to John Baldry.
