1.0 out of 5 stars You do not want to see Sir Elton John behave like this! Oct 2 2010
By Gia Nhan
Format:DVD
My negative review may trigger a huge demand for this DVD! I hope not!

Primo about the video: most shooting was probably with a low quality, low consumer grade video camera (at most 150$ Canada 2010 price range). It was apparently filmed (video-ed) by some amateurs or with a camera mounted on a stationary tripod. For sure it was not from a hidden camera.

Secondo: Sir Elton John, in just a few minutes at the beginning of this DVD, repeatedly shouted F... in a uncontrollable manner.

The rest of DVD has the same quality as listed above.

My respect for Sir ELton John has lower one notch, but still quite high compared to numerous other celebrities.
Sorry for the bad review. This DVD deserves it.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderfully honest documentary for Elton fans Nov 23 2010
By Cheryl TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
This aptly titled brave portrayal shows Elton John as a passionate genius committed to giving the best show(s) possible. The documentary done by his partner David Furnish captures Elton while on tour in 1995, and the camera honestly follows the showman throughout, to display a sometimes temperamental personality "warts and all". During the closing credits, in a follow-up response, Elton John echos my only criticism in that this film is too short. Running approx. 75min., it could have gone on much longer. Additional features on the dvd include some entertaining deleted scenes, and a commentary (more recently recorded in 2008). I think this is a great behind-the-scenes observation for any fan, or anyone interested in what it takes to be Elton John.

3.0 out of 5 stars Inside the Life of A Superstar Oct 31 2008
By Bryan A. Pfleeger - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Tantrums and Tiaras gives us a look inside the personal life of Elton John during 1995's Made In England Tour. Shot on video by his partner of then two years David Furnish the viewer gets a warts and all look at John's daily life on the road.

Beginning with the video shoot for the single,Believe, and covering the European album promotion tour the film moves into the stars interaction with family and friends. There is a touching scene with his grandmother that is not to be missed and a hilarious rant about flower arranging. The film then covers the Academy Awards and ends with concert footage of the American and South American legs of the tour.

This is one of the most honest portrayals of a star that I have seen. The commentary recorded 13 years later is just as informative as the film and offers a good retrospective on the couples busy schedeule and their relationship. Extras include some deleted scenes.

See it if you are a fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Honest and Sad DVD Dec 26 2008
By Occupation Gal - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I had the original VCR recording in my collection and decided to upgrade to the DVD. As the previous reviewer said, one would expect an improved quality. The extras are nice.

A prominent person in this recording is no longer with Elton - Bob Halley, who frequently steals the scenes with his wit and unending patience for Elton's tantrums. His mysterious "firing" and the subsequent lawsuit against him is just odd based on the relationship Bob and Elton seem to have shared for 30 years, a warmth clearly in evidence in this DVD. I was hoping they would comment on it in the extras, but it's just another Elton oddity, probably never to be solved. (I bet they were trying to figure out how to edit Bob out prior to the new release!)

Elton fans who never got the original, go for it. But if you're looking for improved quality or new insight, it's not here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally on DVD Dec 30 2008
By Brian Litton - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
For anyone who enjoyed this documentary on VHS, it's nice to finally enjoy it on DVD. Some of the deleted scenes are interesting (nice to see Elton being funny). The original VHS showed a portion of his concert in Rio in 1995, but this DVD doesn't feature any of it; too bad. Other than that, this is a unique "warts-and-all" documentary that takes a good look into Elton John's life on the road and at home.
