I Found It! The Original Shatner Rocket Man
Here's some other things to consider: first, it IS Bernie Taupin that introduces Shatner. I have never seen him anywhere else in my history. Although I haven't seen everything I think this is pretty rare.
Next, if you don't watch this video to the end you miss something special.
The following is from Wikipedia:
The song has been performed by many others (for example, Kate Bush) but arguably the most famous performance was in 1978, at a science fiction film awards ceremony, Bernie Taupin personally introduced William Shatner's unique interpretation of Rocket Man. Shatner's version utilized then-modern chromakey video techniques to portray simultaneously three different facets of the Rocket Man's character. A low-resolution video circulates on the Internet [1]. This performance has built up a cult following, and was parodied on the U.S. animated series Family Guy, Freakazoid, Futurama, Canadian CGI series ReBoot, as well as in the video for "Where It's At" by Beck.
