5.0 out of 5 stars
Stunning!,
By
This review is from: Elton John - Elton 60: Live at Madison Square Garden [Blu-ray] [2007] (Blu-ray)
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.

best-ever visual Elton John,
By WHITLAM (leafy Clapham) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elton John - Elton 60: Live at Madison Square Garden [DVD] [2007] (DVD)
What a revelation this package is and how glad I am that I bought it. Elton should be proud of himself for reaching 60 and playing his 60th gig and Madison Square Gardens. What a great venue that is and how well it lends itself to the pomp and intimacy of an Elton John show.
There are too many highlights to enumerate and I like to keep my reviews to the point; but the visuals, which have often been rather blurry in previous Elton DVD's ,are superb in this show and add a new dimension. The gospel-type choir, which features on quite a few tracks, is absolutely lovely and reminds me how many types of music have influenced our hero. He performs an outrageous variety of songs and is extremely good-natured throughout, as he ought to be, of course, with a mass of celebrities in the audience. Well done to the reviewer who has created some of the extras on the video package. I loved the 'Your Song' montage, with one line delivered from various shows from the years gone by. I haven't had time to see everything yet but this is a very, very good value edition. I won't write any more because I'm going to go and watch the DVD.
