That is a great set list RS...you notice how by far the majority of songs are from his early years, when he was at his best.

Definately. Bet he wishes he could do that again, without the drugs, though.

^^You can add just about every artist from the 60's and 70's to that category.

Wow! What a set list!!! I'm exhausted just looking at it. It's great to see all of those early songs & I'm really happy to see "Empty Garden" from the 80's. I always liked that tune but it just seems to have faded away over the years

Yes I do own it on Blu Ray and it is a great show. The definitive Elton John video IMO. Both video and audio are excellent.

Wow that's a great list, some of these are my favorite but I dont have the audio of them, does these all tracks are available at there official site.

Great set list from a great performer, sorry that I cannot see him (or have a beer with him) when he plays Chesterfield in June this year, although I respect him and like his music I am off to see some metal bands at Donnington, this one is a great song.......

Elton says he only plays Empty Garden on certain occasions since it's such a sad song. It was written about John Lennon.
