Nearly perfect S J Buck | Kent, UK | 02/17/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a great double CD set featuring two concerts from when Elton was at the eight of his fame. Both shows are good. If you enjoy Elton alone with just a Piano you may prefer the London concert as he does start this solo.
the London concert is a little more formal, because of the precense of royalty but in most respects is just as good as the US concert. The difference with the US concert is the famous last ever stage performance by John Lennon. This makes the US concert of considerable historical interest. These are both superb shows and with the extra tracks now make this the best live audio recording of Elton John you can buy.
The reason I have said nearly perfect is because if you listened to these concerts on vinyl for as long as I did, you will notice that in the remastering process, Gus Dudgeon has managed to digitally remove certain sounds. So for example at the beginning of Funeral for a Friend when a girl in the audience screams "Elton" this has now gone. In the sleeve notes we are advised that Gus has managed to fix the occasional musical mistakes.... Why!! It was there on the night and was an integral part of the recording and the atmosphere. Its a minor quibble but live is live as far as I'm concerned."
