The best Elton's concert setlist5
As my tittle saying, this is the best live choice of songs in one concert. Great birthday athmosphere has made from that something more than just a concert. Also bonuses are good stuff here. I am a longtime Elton John fan, but I am very surprised with this CD/DVD after all those former "official live releases". Elton is still full of energy, no matter how old he is. After seeng him in a concert one have a new reason and taste to live.
If You are looking for great piano-pop/rock full of live energy, that's the way you have to go! Amazing art of Elton's balads and his energic rock stuff is something what You have to see and hear more often then sometimes. Hovever - better list of songs during one Elton John show has never been recorded before.

December 2007 Review5
This DVD has to rate among My favorite EJ concerts! It was wonderful to hear something other than just His
"mega-hits" And I swear that If I could have written His set list Myself, I wouldn't have changed a song !!
The sound and beauty of this concert has to be seen on a big screen and heard on a good stereo system, turn it up and enjoy !!!

Reaching back 40 for 603
Unlike arty and bombastic visual spectacles of artists like U2, REM or Pink Floyd, an Elton John concert on video is a pretty pedestrian affair. Always has been, and "Elton At 60" is no different. Having said that, Elton connects with his songs, leaving lights and other optic doo-dads to serve as mere window dressing for the words and melodies he and lyricist, Taupin, have crafted for 40 years. This show was recorded in March 2007 to mark Elton's 60th birthday, and his sixtieth show at Madison Square Garden in New York. An Elton concert doesn't quite have the pep and fire of show he did even ten years ago, but the result is a performance that more closely mirrors the pacing of the album version of these songs. In THREE and A HALF hours, most of the hits are here, of course, with some notable exceptions. His hits alone could fill that time, but what makes this collection worth having is Elton's revisit of classic album tracks like "Ballad of Well-Known Gun", "Roy Rogers", "Hercules" or the transcendant "High Flying Bird". Whether you're a completist, or thinking of venturing into an Elton live video for the first time, you should find the set compelling. The hit factor is one thing, but it's the album tracks that remind one of why this guy made such an impression and why he is still relavant sixty years on.
