Elton 60: Live at Madison Square Garden Collector's Box Set - Amazon.com Exclusive [2 DVD/1 CD] Reviews:
the best video quality that i have seen in my life 
2009-02-16 - the video quality is great is from dvd and seems high definition hd, the audio is god and the box is nice excellent collection box, the performance of elton john is unique
First Time I buy in Amazon!, SURELY NOT THE LAST! 
2009-02-13 - It's an excellent product I really wished; amazon made it happen.
It arrived less than 2 weeks after my purchase; obviously in perfect conditions.
It is the first time i work with Amazon; and as i said in the title, it won't be the last!
Thanks!
Elton 
2009-01-12 - Got a great deal on Elton 60. Love Elton John and all of his songs. This had most of his best songs and DVD of his birthday at Madison Square Gardens. Would recommend this to anyone who Loves Elton.
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.
