Sometimes Elton performed in concert without the glasses. In the case of the fantastic duck costume series, he did not want to compete with the ducky look, we guess, so he chose not to feature fancy glasses with the costume.

[Above and to the right: This paisley matador inspired jacket with pants is the beginning of his suit period. It is still a costume and very theatrical, of course, but it is not a costume the same way the duck outfit was. Subdued glasses complement but don't compete with the costume.]
