5.0 out of 5 stars Elton at his apex April 9 2004
By Candace Scott
Format:Audio CD
This is compelling because of the inclusion of John Lennon singing two duets with Elton, neither of which were included on the original vinyl album. It's a shame, though, that the producers chose to eliminate John speaking at the beginning of the track, "We'd like to sing an old song from an old estranged fiancee of mine called Paul. This is one I never sang and we just about know it." Then EJ's band launches into the 1963 Beatles classic, "I Saw her Standing There." In order to hear Lennon, you have to listen to the entire previous song in order to get to the dialogue. That's a curious shame.

The highlight of this collection is the hauntingly lovely early EJ ballad, "Skyline Pidgeon." This is one of Elton's most under-rated songs in his entire catalogue and he rarely has performed this live.

Unfortunately, the sad fact is that Elton's live performances from the 70's concentrated on flamboyance and not the music. Unlike other performers like Paul McCartney, Elton does not replicate the recorded versions of his songs on stage. Some people prefer this, others yearn to him sing "Daniel" as closely as possible as the standard recorded version from 1972. This live album shows his vocal limitations and also the fact he doesn't replicate the studio versions of his songs. This is an uneven double album, but essential for understanding the pop phenomenon of Elton John in the mid-70's.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Doubt: No better live Elton John Album Exists July 26 1999
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This CD is absolutely essential for any true Elton John fan. In fact, this may be the greatest live record that Elton has ever released. Listeners get two different perspectives: The rather stuffy, reserved concert in London that took place in front of a British Princess v.s. the rowdy, incomparable American Madison Square Garden crowd. Both CD's offer some of Elton's rare songs (Skyline Pigeon, Border Song, Burn Down the Mission, You're So Static, etc.) None of these, though, compare with the electricity present when John Lennon takes the stage for what would be his final live performance. Lennon's appearance is reason enough to buy the CD but there are plenty of other reasons too. This album paints a picture of Elton on his way to the top, the rising of a rock legend.

5.0 out of 5 stars His Best Songs Live, and John Lennon, Too April 27 1999
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Some of his finest songs stretching from his early days to the mid 70's. Has been generously expanded. This gives an accurate interpretation of the Elton John Band live act at the peak of their powers. Highly recommended over later CDs (Live in Australia, etc). And yes, they did play "Funeral For A Friend" live without background tapes!
