(More customer reviews)This video is more footage taped from the same concert at Wembley Stadium as the "Breaking Hearts Tour" video. Elton is ably backed by his original bandmates, Nigel Ollson on drums, the late Dee Murray on bass guitar and Davey Johnstone on lead guitar. "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" is a moving ballad that Elton, sweating profusely, invests with a lot of emotion. The next medley begins with the ballad "Blue Eyes" but segues into the rocking "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues," a combination that works very well. Elton seems relieved to get the obligatory performance of "Your Song" out of the way. He gets the crowd rocking with his scorching version of "Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting." He slows things down for "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," his voice dropping to a lower range for the high parts. "Too Low For Zero," the title cut of one of his better albums, finds Nigel, Dee and Davey singing the chorus. The sizzling "Kiss The Bride" once again brings the crowd to its feet. How appropriate that it's followed by "I'm Still Standing," one of Elton's best songs and a crowd favorite. "Crocodile Rock" is playfully performed, with the crowd happily singing along. The closing medley alone is worth the price of the video. Elton and his backing band pull out all the stops on "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Twist And Shout," whipping the crowd into a frenzy. Lasting less than one hour, the concert is over. Hopefully, whatever company that has the rights to both the "Breaking Hearts Tour" video and this video will combine them into a single DVD release someday.
