Elton 60: Live at Madison Square Garden Collector's Box Set - Amazon.com Exclusive [2 DVD/1 CD] Reviews:
EJ... A man and his music 
2008-11-08 - Disc 1: All Live (rare, lost then found, never before seen footage, etc...) All Remastered!! 1970 - 1989(?)... Wow!!! Hell Yeah!!!
The man can melt you with his talents. Simply the best!!! A musical legend!!
Disc 2: Live 2007, Hm? After seeing EJ on the first disc... no comparison!! His voice has obviously changed (weaker?); the vitality we once knew has gone!! Yes, he's 60 yet I couldn't appreciate these song as I once did... especially after the first disc!!
Musically EJ is the "MASTER OF THE KEYS AND SONG WRITING" - no question about that; glimmers of his greatness are evident in this DVD yet the spark is fading!
He's 60 which is still young these days. I think there's more to come if EJ can get himself physically together!!!
All in all? A "Very Good" show... it just doesn't compare to the first disc!!!
Elton at his Finest
2008-09-19 - Elton sounds better than ever on this set. Great Video also. Also bought as gift for a friend.
A great additon for a fan to have
2008-07-29 - I purchased this for a gift but I have not given it away yet. I am fighting the strong urge to keep it for myself. It is a good thing to have in a collection.
well worth owning! 
2008-06-23 - Saw this show live. It was fantastic! Extra CD is worth getting, though rather pricey compared to DVD only version.
The best Elton's concert setlist
2008-01-28 - As my tittle saying, this is the best live choice of songs in one concert. Great birthday athmosphere has made from that something more than just a concert. Also bonuses are good stuff here. I am a longtime Elton John fan, but I am very surprised with this CD/DVD after all those former "official live releases". Elton is still full of energy, no matter how old he is. After seeng him in a concert one have a new reason and taste to live.
If You are looking for great piano-pop/rock full of live energy, that's the way you have to go! Amazing art of Elton's balads and his energic rock stuff is something what You have to see and hear more often then sometimes. Hovever - better list of songs during one Elton John show has never been recorded before.
