Summary: BEST ELTON JOHN LIVE CONCERT EVER
Review: This is the best live concert i ever seen. The sound, the guest that Elton invite to his show, ( particulary Bryan Adams, Ronan Keaten, and Kiki Dee ), the incredible talent of one of the best entertainment musicians and showman, singing and playing the piano with unbelievable feelings, amazing me during the entire show. His band plays so good as well. I have purchased this dvd and did play it more than 100 times and never get bored. He has an other great live concert made in Barcelona in 1992 that is more than worth it. Unfortunately, there are not too many live concerts made of such talent that i know. If you like pop music and love songs, don't even think twice...this "the one" for sure.

Summary: If you can't see Elton John in performace, get this DVD
Review: My wife and I saw Elton John in performance a few years ago in Knoxville. I was stunned from the first note to the encore. In all honesty, I don't think there is a performer anywhere that puts more raw energy per square centimeter into a performance than does Sir Elton. That energy comes through full force in this disc; Elton John obviously is having a wonderful time, and so is the audience. In fact, the only reason I don't give this disc 5 stars is from a bit of disappointment at the lack (on what was supposed to be a "greatest hits" disc) of two of my favorite EJ tunes, "Pinball Wizard" and "Grey Seal".I note that some other reviewers have made negative comments about the duets; don't let them put you off this disc. Yes, perhaps it might have been more a "pure" EJ show without them, but take my advice, take the duets on their own merits (especially the electric performance from Anastacie), and I don't think you'll be disappointed. (One further note: the Dolby 5.1 mix is dynamite.)

Summary: best dvd out there
Review: Music is great, band is tight and very professional. Elton John is the consimate musician. So inspiring and as guests are brought on to sing Elton just steps up even more. This DVD is gold.

Summary: A Great Concert
Review: When it comes to live performances, few can top Elton John. Whether it's his outrageous costumes, his kicking of the piano bench or his stunts like dancing atop the piano, Elton can do it all. He has roned down his act nowadays. But that does not stop him from doing a great show, as demonstrated here. His voice is in great chape, he looks great and he still plays the piano like nobody else I know. The show gets off to a rousing start with a stunning rendition of "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding". He then continues to do the entire first side of his 1973 masterpiece "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", delivering exhuberant versions of "Candle In The Wind", "Bennie And The Jets" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", the latter featuring Billy Joel duetting. The rest of the show takes a nice look back at his years of success. While standard fare like "Philadelphia Freedom" and "Your Song" (the latter featuring Ronan Keating) are included, there were quite a lot of track whose inclusion surprised me, like "Little Jeannie", "Blue Eyes", "Tiny Dancer", "Club At The End Of The Street" and a scorching cover of "Come Together". I very surprised at how well Elton performed "Someone Saved My Life Tonight". His voice conveyed such emotion and pain. There are many more highlights, too many list on one page. But my favorite was when Elton and Kiki Dee reunited for the first time since Live - Aid to perform "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" onstage together. This is a great dvd by a great showman and a legend at his work.

Summary: FANTASTIC !!
Review: This is a jam packed excellent value DVD. The stage show includes 32 live songs with bonus footage. I have the newer repackaged DVD called Elton John Greatest Hits 1972-2000 but it is apparently the same DVD just different packaging. God knows why they do this but WHO CARES COZ IT ROCKS !!!! What really makes this performance extra special is his guests, Billy Joel, Rohnan Keeting, Bryan Adams etc. Song after song after song -- I love it when you recognise and can sing along to all the songs and there is no problem with doing this when it comes to Elton bceause everyone knows his music !!! I highly recommend this DVD -- you'll watch it over and over and over again and never be bored!

Summary: What A Show
Review: I Got the Video and I thought It was wonderful but now I think of Elton's music as inspirational.I heard all of the songs when I was a child and now I'm 20 years old I still hear the songs me and my dad go to his concerts and we have a ball.I just love it when we get tickets to his concerts I saw the concert on t.v. a couple of years ago and I know some of the words to some of the songs and I love it when he's in town.I also love the band members they entertain with such enthusiasm and it's fun to see all the band members and Elton play at the same time.

Summary: Player-by-Player of "One Night Only"
Review: I'll give you a star explanation of what each bandmate did.
For starters Elton is excellent. His voice is fine, unlike what some say, and he plays piano beautifully. *****
Davey Johnstone- Incredible. He's always perfect, singing and playing guitar. Great job, Davey. *****
John Jorgenson- What is WITH this man? He must have had seven coffees before the show because he NEVER gets tired! He plays like seven different instruments. He's practically a one man band. *****
John Mahon- I think percussion is the essential part of a recording (I'm an amateur drummer) and John does a great job at what he does. *****
Billy Trudel and Ken Stacey- I can't really give a starred review as their voices are lost with everyone else's. ****
Bob Birch- Excellent bass player. He even gets into the funk on "Philadelphia Freedom." Good job. *****
Curt Bisquera- Why in the name of Keith Moon did they hire this guy? They didn't need double drums, all they needed was Nigel! **
Nigel Olsson- Breathtaking. Priceless. Excellent. ***** You may be noticing that I didn't include Guy Babylon in here. Why? He plays the synthesizer/ keyboards throughout the show and gives it a too-modern feel. Don't ever do this to us again Elton. Hire James Newton-Howard on the organ/harpsichord/Moog/Arp/Elka/clavinet and a full orchestra just NOT THIS GUY!
Great overall.

Summary: Good performance, but...
Review: He should also release "From Russia With Elton", and "Live in Australia" as well. Maybe he'll do somerthing now that the Disney Theater is open in Los Angeles? This would have been great had he put something out similar to "Here and There", where the first part was an intimate, "unplugged" performance, and the second half was more of a rock show. There should be a video collection from past and present compiled in 2 DVDs. I think it's gresat to see him in the early days doing "Your Song" when he really didn't have much money, or some of the live shows he did for TV that haven't been seen in years. Not to mention all the videos he's done since the mid-70s. I remember seeing "Step into Xmas" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" as promo videos. I think having it end with the "West Coast" videos would be great. I'm disappointed that they are passing off this show as a "Greatest Hits" DVD, with the same cover as Greatest Hits 1970-2002.

Summary: 5 Stars for Elton, 1 star for Duets
Review: Being a very big fan of Elton John, I just LOVED this concert. But beware, the duets are HORRIBLE. These classics would've been better off with Elton singing solo. I'm so upset. But the DVD is certainly worth purchasing. Try the Barcelona concert, too. That one is certainly a kickin' DVD.
