Description:
This installment of the Classic Albums series, in which rock stars talk about the creation of their albums, focuses on the making of what may have been Elton John's seminal record, Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road. John, lyricist Bernie Taupin, producer Gus Dudgeon, and the members of John's band discuss the writing and recording process of such hits as "Benny and the Jets," "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," and, of course, "Candle in the Wind." The drawback of this track-by-track deconstruction is that you only get snippets of the songs (performed in archival footage), interspersed with interviews in which the participants recall its origins. Also, true fans may feel that they don't get nearly enough of the Elton John interview, but they'll revel in the old films of him in some of his most outlandish stage finery. DVD bonus interviews discuss the beginnings of John's career. --Marshall Fine
