Movie Reviews of Elton John - Live in Barcelona
Movie Review: A Long Overdue Release Of A Great Elton Concert On DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, I would like to set the record straight. Every song from the "Elton John: Live World Tour 1992" VHS video is included, in the same running order, in the "Elton John: Live In Barcelona" DVD. In addition, the picture and sound quality are superb. Elton had taken some time off from his arduous touring schedule and, more importantly, had kicked his alcohol and drug habits. He's in top physical form, and his singing and piano playing are stronger than they had been in years. In addition, he's touring to support his then recent album release, "The One." That album marked a return to form for the songwriting partnership of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Elton begins the concert with the superb ballad "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me," quickly following that with a rocking version of "I'm Still Standing." A welcome surprise is the outstanding song "Burn Down The Mission" from his early years. Songs from "The One" include the title cut, "Simple Life" and his moving ballad about aids, "The Last Song." Freddie Mercury had recently died of aids and, as a tribute to him, Elton sings a powerful version of Queen's "The Show Must Go On." A concert highlight is when each of his three backup singers perform powerful solos on "Sad Songs Say So Much." The concert closes on an unusual note, with Elton combining the instrumental "Song For Guy" with his classic "Your Song" for a unique medley.
What really makes this DVD worth owning is the inclusion of a nearly one hour documentary about Elton's 1992 world tour, which was not included in the previous VHS version. In addition to interviews with Elton, Bernie Taupin and Davey Johnstone, it includes portions of several concept videos, and a complete live version of "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" from his first 1992 show in Oslo. I urge all Elton John fans to upgrade their VHS version of this concert with this superb DVD release.
