Default 'Elton 60' - High-Def Digest review
Just posted Peter's review of 'Elton 60 - Live at Madison Square Garden.' He enjoyed the concert itself and says this Blu-ray release is simply first-rate -- excellent video and audio are complimented by a robust supplements package that features nearly two-dozen vintage concert and TV performances.

Full review here:

nice review. Not a big fan of Elton John. But from the review of the audio quality, I have to rent this one.

One of our members recently saw him in concert. I would have loved to have seen him when he toured with Billy Joel. The disc looks great.

Glad to see that Peter got the same impressions from this that I did. I love concerts that have sound done right and when I played this on Tuesday I was blown away. The piano alone sounds unbelievable! So very glad I picked this up. I will be using it as a demo from now on.

What an absolutely incredible setlist....and PCM 24-bit!!

Nice job Universal Music Group - I was hoping that after such great SACD releases we would see their first Blu-ray release be of audiophile quality and it certainly appears to be that way.

Looking forward very much to picking this one up, sounds like another in what I expect to be a long line of reference discs from Universal Music Group and SonyBMG.

I'd also like to know. If anyone could check, that would be highly appreciated.

With the track listing it looks almost exactly the concert I saw on November 11, 2007. I will definitely be picking this up. The concert I went to was awesome he didn't take a break at all really. Maybe 5 min in the whole 2 1/2 hour show!! It was a unbelievable act to say the least!!
