 Rating:  - Blu-ray version of Elton 60: Buyer beware!!!Amazon's product description is inaccurate for the Blu-ray release of Elton 60. Unlike the DVD version, the Blu-ray release DOES NOT contain "...over a dozen rare television performances from throughout his career." The Blu-ray version contains the concert only. As a long-time Elton fan, I recommend buying the DVD version. Rating:  - Best Elton John concert everElton John: Elton 60 - Live at Madison Square Garden This is the best Elton John concert I have ever seen, even taking into account the live ones I have personally attended. The many close up shots mean that you get to view the concert better than if you were there yourself. Picture quality, camera angles, sound quality, song selection, and performance are all superb. Not to be missed by fans and non-fans alike! Rating: - A High Flying CondertOff the top, I have to admit that I am biased towards Elton John. His music has given me more pleasure since the early seventies than any other performer. I'll admit there was a period in the 80's and 90's when I was not so fond of his songs. I have heard him say that he was on a drug induced ego trip, and he feels the same way about this period. But even during this period he wrote some great music. I do feel that he was at his most creative during the early seventies. I was always diasappointed that I never had a chance to see Elton John live. So when Concert DVD's became available, I bought a couple of E.J. concerts, including "One Night Only" and a concert recorded in Spain. I enjoyed both of them, but lamented the fact that the ...

Martin C did a great job in reviewing this DVD and there is not much to add regarding the content. I have seen Elton twice in concert and he always puts on a great live show. This particular show was amazing (I envy the lucky souls who had tickets to see this in person). As Martin said there were an amazing number of songs covered at the concert. Not all is perfect though. I do have a complaint about the way in which the concert was engineered for DVD. In nearly every song Elton's voice (Your Song being a notable exception) sounds muffled because the engineer had the pods/sliders on his soundboard set way too high for the DVD. In many of the other songs the clarity of the bandmember's ... Read More: Rating: - Sixty Years On!Elton John has produced a dozen or so concert DVD's, but this is the ultimate in entertainment. Recorded on his 60th birthday at his 60th performance at Madison Square Garden, this DVD excels in pure entertainment satisfaction. Over two DVD's you witness thirty-three classic songs from over the last five decades including such little performed gems like, "Hercules" and "Roy Rogers". The standards like, "Crocodile Rock" and "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" are also lent out in slightly new versions that more than please. Unlike the Madison Square Garden show he previously released with shots of fans over-riding the stage show; this one showcases those people as well as dozens of famous political, musical and acting celebrities. ...
