Customer Reviews

THERE ARE NO EXTRAS
Beware, There are NO extras on the Blu-Ray Version, just the whole concert. So, if like me you really wanted all the unseen, rare footage of Elton, DONT expect to get it on the Blu Ray version. Get the 3 disc DVD insted

Great Show Spoilt By Continuous Camera Panning Onto The Audience
A superb show. Great stage set and a set list that would make most EJ fans go weak at the knees! Yellow Brick Road in particular was heavily plundered with Roy Rogers and All The Girls Love Alice standout tracks. I recommend you make a cup of tea during the latter stages of Rocket Man as Elton for some reason elongates the end of the song by several minutes and with a back catologue as extensive as his I could not really see the point of wasting these precious seconds.
And why ruin a great concert experience by continually moving the camera away from the stage onto the D list celebrities trying to dance in the audience? The more you watch this DVD I guarantee the more this will irritate you. No sorry, there is one thing more irritating. Robin Williams! A complete embarrassment and he totally ruined the introduction of Bernie Taupin onto the stage.
But as a DVD package this is a must have for any EJ fan. Here's to the next 60. Happy Birthday Elton!

Stunning!
Celebrating his 60th birthday on stage, Elton gave a wonderful show. For more than 3 hours, Elton goes from his famous hits to much rarer songs such as High Flying Bird or Where To Now St Peter?. It's a great set list and makes for one of the most entertaining shows available on video.

I did get to see the DVD of this concert and while the picture quality was very good, I was a bit disappointed by the audio. I do however like Elton and as a newcomer to the Blu-Ray world thought I'd add that one to my collection. I was right to do so. This Blu-Ray release is simply stunning. Both audio and video are absolutely top notch.

The 1080p picture is amongst the best shot-on-HD picture available. The level of details is unbelievable and the colours leap from the screen (Just look at a close up shot on the drums!). This is a massive upgrade over the already very good DVD.

The PCM 5.1 audio track is, well, simply breathtaking and can't be faulted. You probably need to buy a new amplifier to enjoy it, but this is certainly worth the expense and demonstrates how the new HD formats improve the sound as much as the picture.

My only criticism with this release is that it doesn't include any extras (even though I've read that the extras included in the DVD box set would be included, they are no where to be found. No mention of them on the box or in the menu).

At the end of the day, Elton's fans simply can't miss this one. For everyone else, this is an amazing disc to put in and demo your system and watch a great show.
