- Elton John performing the song he and Bernie Taupin wrote together in 1978 this one is called Ego and all though it never did really take off big it was indeed an excellent song as is any song John/Taupin writes together.
This is the 1980 free central park concert which was done in hopes John Lennon might show up but no such luck. This was done in September and John Lennon got killed in December 1980.
This was so close to John Lennons apartment he could actually hear it. My mother was in attendance at this concert and told me people were hanging from trees. Its estimated that between 400 and 425 thousand people showed up for what in my opinion is Eltons greatest concert of all time.
September 13, 1980. I was there, up front...it was amazing. One of those life events. Fantastic.
I love this song; it was so ahead of its time. Closest Elton ever got to punk, I reckon. Anyway, this live version blows the studio version AWAY.
I wish i was there :C this song is one of my favourites!

Nerve-racking, lunatic song! to perform (especially on your own). But brilliant performance here.
Ele toca super bem e eu aqui ouvindo esse lindo em 2020.
This video's bluddy hard to find. But once you've found it it's great. I doesn't come up on the search.
It took me over 2 years to learn to butcher this on piano.
i've always thought that EGO was a very good song for Elton
I have always thought EGO was one of his best....not much radio play, though.
+statman99 Definitely one of his best songs. I guess it wasn't a big hit because it speaks the truth nobody wants to hear about being a celebrity and the melody is rather "strange" in nature.
@junkshopcoyote I like the song but the studio version sounds so cold and sterile
Why does he keep going on about his Eagle?
He inflated his eagle gently
its Ego ... not eagle :) haha its ok though !!
