Review: This was incredible. For those who have seen Elton in concert and for those who have not like me. It gave me chills to watch him and it was like being there. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Elton John Shines
Review: The concert is fantastic, with 27 great songs plus the video to "I Want Love" with Robert Downey, Jr. I know some people hate that video...I find it entertaining. Two of Elton's guests in this concert are also favorites of mine (Billy Joel and Bryan Adams) and offer great performances alongside Sir Elton. It also was very cool to see Kiki Dee with Elton again! The remainder of the guests in this concert I could have done without, and that is the only negative thing that I can share about this concert. It certainly is a welcome addition to my concert collection, and I very much enjoy the 2 1/2-hour show!

Summary: Best DVD I have!
Review: I have more than 100 music DVD's.
This one is by far the best. The sound quality is excellent, the performance was flawless, the music was fantastic.
Elton John has to be the best performer ever. Amazing voice and incredible piano.
What more can I say?

Summary: Elton John LIVE
Review: I chose this concert DVD as my first one to try out my new DVD player knowing it would be great, and I was not dissapointed. He did 90% of the hits I love the most, The only one I can think of that I love that he didn't do was "Harmony" I rate it as excellent!

Summary: Fantastic musical DVD
Review: This is a monumental live concert DVD. Even if you are just a casual Elton John listener, you will find this concert one of the best ever made in DVD. Sound quality is magnificent. Although video quality and camera shots could have been a little better, the overall quality of the performers (including all musicians and guests)far outweighs any imperfection. What's amazing is the fact that the DVD is more than two and a half hours long, and includes almost all major (even some minor, but significant) Elton John hits, performed superbly. I own many live concert DVDs, but this one is by far the best.

Summary: Great Concert--Blah guest stars
Review: Nice DVD. But who are those people on-stage with Elton? (Except Kiki Dee, HER I knew.)

Summary: AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME
Review: WE HAVE BOUGHT MANY MUSIC DVDS AND BY FAR THIS IS THE BEST.
GRANTED WE ARE ELTON JOHN FANS, BUT WE LOVE ALL MUSIC AND NOTHING HAS COMPARED. THE SOUND IS FABULOUS, THE CROWD IS UNBELIEVABLE. TWO AND ONE HALF HOURS OF PURE MUSIC. GREAT GUESTS, AND THE BAND IS RIGHT THERE THROUGH THE WHOLE THING.
THE SOUND HAS HAD NO COMPARISON TO THE OTHER MUSIC DVDS THAT WE HAVE BOUGHT. WE HAVE WATCHED IT MANY TIMES, AND LOVE IT MORE EACH TIME.

Summary: Elton John- One night only
Review: I have been a casual fan of Elton's for years, though I have nothing of his on CD. I picked up this DVD only because I have a nice audio video surround system at home. The first time I put this in I was blown away at the sound quality . This is how all concert DVD's should sound. The guest stars of whom a couple I have never heard of annoyed me a little at first. But now I've come to enjoy those tracks. The video with Robert Downey Jr. was horrible. Though the song is good him lip syncing the song was just weird looking and it wasn't even in sync with the music. In closing if you like Elton John just a little bit and you have a decent sound system you will love this video. Oh yeah even though I didn't see it on the box it has DTS.

Summary: Dump the Guests
Review: This is a terrific DVD of someone I have been a fan of since the Empty Sky album back in 1969 or thereabouts. The video is certainly fine. The audio goes in and out at times. Elton does say that the first night had technical problems. I don't get it. If anyone should put out a technically superior DVD it should be the Elton John management team. The big problem are the no-talent guests. None of them have any voice to sing about. They are mostly an embarrassment. Their only purpose seems to be to make Elton John look good. He clearly sings better than all of them put together even after 30 years on the road. Apparently Elton's management has adopted the Johnny Carson technique -- never invite anyone on the stage that can show you up. He didn't need any of them. Even Billy Joel is starting to be a "nebech." This is Yiddish for a "pain in the butt." Enough of Billy Joel already! All in all this is a great DVD. BUT --- who is the drummer that looks like Buddah ? Is that Nigel Olsson ? I can't believe it! I bought Nigel's solo record on Rocket Records -- the one with the song "Dancing Shoes." I thought the album was great. If this Buddah-looking drummer is what Nigel looks like after 30 years -- Oy Vey! A thrilling DVD by the most influential entertainer of this generation. No question about it. P.S. The video "I Want Love" which is included on the DVD is an abomination. Just shut off the screen and listen to the music. The music, even though it sounds distant, is fine. Robert Downey, Jr... He mouths the words to the song which Elton sings. This is ludicrous. I've never seen anyone lip-sync words to someone else's song. How would Elton's voice come out of Downey's mouth ? Whoever came up with this idea should get a real job and leave video making to the professionals.

Summary: One of the better ones out there BUT....
Review: A packed Madison Square Gardens, lots of great camera angles and Elton covers all his greatest hits. His voice is still pretty good too, although he's now ducking and covering from most of those high notes. It's a pretty good DVD and sounds fairly good on DTS so it's worth having BUT:
1. Elton looks really plump and the camera angle on his face and hands is incredibly unflattering a lot of the time
2. His band is very unsexy. That may not mean much to some people but I find that it dilutes the excitement and energy of the overall show
3. His guests are all terrible and superfluous except for Billy Joel.
4. The footage looks awful. It seems to have been shot on film (as opposed to video) which looks grainy and horribly transferred.
