DVD Reviews of Elton John - Live in Barcelona
DVD Review: Alive, Live Again and Well
Summary: 4 Stars
There is always something within the air, when it comes to the music of Elton John. For close to his 35th year in show business, he has made the ultimate impact in what it really takes to be a great singer-songwriter. He has had thirty years in a row of scoring a single Top 40 smash, an Oscar, and everything you could imagine. Still, he has some memories about his rebirth, and they're here as well as it should. Back in 1992, Elton John went back on tour promoting his record, The One, which turned out to be a huge revival in the states, which hit the the Top 10 on the Billboard charts. It was the first time in 16 years he had a Top 10 record in America. The real trick was to bring his revival on the road.The DVD, Elton John Live In Barcelona, was a shot at his first ever live concert, ever to video. The process was highly made to reflect his record, The One. Originally named Elton John, Live World Tour 1992, the concert remains the same as it was originally collected. The remastering process was beautiful, and not a flaw within the works. Still, if you have the VHS version of this concert, you're not missing anything here. The performance highlights the exact same number of songs that were on the VHS version, like The Last Song, Burn Down The Mission, Sacrifice, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, and others. The sound quality is much better than it was on the VHS version, which isn't sold anymore. Still, Elton John does give his all, like he always seems to, and that is exactly what he is made to do.
The DVD only has one extra feature, a documentary which Happenstance created, that focused in on Elton John, reflecting the career he helped to spawn, years ago. Even his bandmates also talk about what it is like being on stage with Elton. The documentary also shows a behind the scenes look at the music from Elton John's record, The One, and also a look at what made the tour a spectacle worth seeing all over again. Sadly, it also features commentary by the late Gianni Versace, who was tragicly murdered in 1997. He seems to give a happy-go-lucky detail about what it is like to be a part of the mania with Elton, and what his plans for the future seemed to be, before he lost it all away.
All in all, I thought it was a great DVD, but is could've had some extra music on it. Still, I suggest you get this DVD, and the Greatest Hits DVD from Madison Square Garden as well. For any true Elton John fan, this is probably the one for you.
