Movie Reviews of Elton 60: Live at Madison Square Garden Collector's Box Set - Amazon.com Exclusive [2 DVD/1 CD]
Movie Review: Still, 60 And Still Rocking
Summary: 4 Stars
When it comes to great music, there have been some really great highlights this past year, especially in British Rock this year. With the reunions of The Police & Genesis this year, many people have been reintroduced with great songs and melodies that this generation, who seems to be more interested in Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, hasn't heard. That also can be said for Elton John, who this year celebrated 2 milestones. The first is his 40th anniversary since he met his long-running songwriting partner and friend, Bernie Taupin, who helped him make music history for five decades of great pop music. But, his biggest milestone is celebrating his 60th birthday, and a special concert to celebrate with.
Elton 60: Live At Madison Square Garden is a well-dedicated and celebrated concert where Elton celebrated his 60th birthday, and his 60th live concert performance at Madison Square Garden. The concert is well-celebrated, as was shown earlier this year on the new My Network channel. The concert showcases Elton performing some of his biggest songs including classics like The Bitch Is Back, his standard Your Song, I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues, the somber Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word and Daniel. The live performance of these songs sounds great and well-dedicated to his craft, even with some of his lesser-known tracks which are heard live for the first time on DVD like High Flying Bird, Roy Rogers, and his most recent track The Bridge from his 2006 album The Captain & The Kid. The DVD also includes other live performances from Elton's long-running career on the extra disc, including clips of performances from other New York events like Empty Garden, and Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters from 1973. The moments have all been remastered well, and bring out a great dedication of his carftsmanship of a great showman Elton has shown all over the years, and what so many acts today could still learn from him.
All in all, Elton 60: Live At Madison Square Garden is a great buy for the die hard Elton John fan, or for anybody who hasn't yet heard or seen the Elton John experience. It is a great buy for any music lover. I really think this is one of the best music video DVD's of this year, and Elton John still knows how to show it.

Movie Review: Elton60: Live at Madison Square Garden Collectors Box DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic!! Production Quality is great.The concert was the BEST .If you couldn't make it then this is the next best thing besides being there. EJ
was Fantastic,sings his classics & others not heard for many many years &
some never heard in concert almost non-stop for 3 hrs.Set inc's a Cd of EJ's songs that relate to NY City sung live @ MSG. DVD's have rare footage of EJ from the begining to present. You get EJ 60 poster & photo booklet..Only one bad thing was set was to inc a souvenir backstage pass &
an Elton [...] Lanyard,this was missing in most sets in USA release.
Due to a mix up by EJ's record Co.Universal not Amazon.Record co is correcting the problem wiyh those who have brought it. [...] customer service was on top of it once they found out there was a problem..
Movie Review: A Must for Any Elton John fan
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great keepsake for any Elton John fan -- superior photography, excellent sound quality, and a long list of great tunes. One is pleasantly surprised to hear some of the more obscure, but excellent, songs from early albums, and it only goes to show that Elton continues to be a master artist. Cameo views of current celebrities in the audience were a nice touch. Madison Square Garden is a great venue. If there is a weakness in the presentation, it is the background videos on the big screens -- they did nothing to really enhance the performance, and in some cases were distracting. Bonus tracks are well organized and present a time capsule of Elton's life and works. A real collector's item for anyone who has followed Elton John's career.
Only issue was that the commemorative backstage pass was missing -- distributor has contacted consumers to correct the omission.

Elton at his best and obviously enjoying every minute. I've got the CD in my car and play it over and over. The Piano work truly rocks. Hooray for New York!!!Movie Review: One Word - Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
This exclusive package is absolutely brilliant. Not only will you have a ball watching Elton simply on fire at his 60th, the amazing extras make this package far superior to other Elton DVD's. You simply must see someone saved my life tonight at the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre in which elton gives a stunning highly emotional version of the song. And also a touching rare version of We all fall in love sometimes/ Curtains (MSG, 2005) dedicated to Bernie.
The sound quality of the concert is superb and you will have a blast powering up the home theatre! The HD camerawork is great, so many angles, so many close-ups of Elton's legendary piano work and the detail is extraordinary you can't get any closer, even if you were there on the night. The band was in great spirits for this show and what a set-list!! So many rare gems.
Don't forget to look out for all the VIP's and celebrities throughout the show. Also, the lighting and visuals were incredible, ultra vegas style.
Enjoy!, I did...
