Elton John - Dream Ticket (DVD, 2005)

i was amazed by the quality and variety of that package. four dvds,over seventy songs, three outstanding live performances and additional fourth dvd with eltons own comments to his 12 videos presented there (like empty garden one of my favorite that he dont like to play live having emotional issues coz of john lennons) . excellent collection of his career best songs. i was amazed by every each and one of that performances. the live in london with orchestra and choir blew me away by the powerful performance. its like watching the soundtrack to the movie. full spectrum of music. im musician myself so believe me im not trying to over exaggerate. this is a masterpiece. next dvd was the romantic solo performance in amphitheater Ephesus. that just shows his absolute perfection playing piano and sing along. without any other instruments no rhythm section just pure piano and vocals. and there is no lack of anything.. songs like "i'm still standing" where you can see how intensely rhythm on piano is achieved by simple but perfect play. awesome! spectacular acoustics there. such a class act. next was also powerful live performance in madison square in NYC. big audience big reception. what hit me the most was the fact that elton john is a mature singer. very sophisticated composed artist. i love his older lower registered voice much better then as a young artist. Class act. excellent reaction from and towards audience and orchestra. watching him is like watching a really good actor. very modest gesture limited sophisticated introductions. just pure pleasure overall in watching all four dvds. absolutely recommended. absolutely.

An Elton John fan, really enjoyed the dvd set, the concert at The Royal Opera House was great! Also the live in Turkey at Ephesus, show the great talent of EJ doing solo! All the guest in New York, My favorite has to be the rendition of The Beetle's Come Together!!!!

Great collection of Elton's best for devoted fans. Almost as good as seeing him live(but not quite). Good quality recording in different venues. Large arena setting, solo piano concert, and show with full orchestra. Recommended for those who haven't been able to(or afford) to see Elton live in concert.

All one has to do is check out the list of songs that are on the DVD's. Nothing is left out. The sound and picture are awesome. I rarely give anything an Excelllent as that is damn near if not perfect, as is this collection of Elton John's music. HDTV and a quality Surround Sound system recommended.

Enjoy.

Very nice 4 Disc video.

Shows the full spectrum of Eltons life. Shows not only him perform, but also has personal interviews with him as well. I've watched it over and over. If your an Elton John fan - this is a "Must have" to add to your collection. Buy with confidence.
