William Shatner - "Rocket Man" (1st Generation Copy)

Back


William Shatner sings Elton John and Bernie Taupin's "Rocket Man" at the 1978 Science Fiction Awards show. Shatner is introduced by Taupin.

Why post this again? This is a first generation (higher quality) copy of the clip with improved audio, also includes the introduction of Taupin by actress Karen Black.

To this today I can't figure out if Shater is crazy, an ego maniac, or a nerd. Maybe he's playing a career long performance art piece by seeing how bizarre a person can act and still be famous. Maybe he's an ironic parody of hollywood (deliberate or not). Maybe he's just a terrible actor. I'm stumped.

It's a fairly basic video editing technique where they just layer three recordings on top of each other.
