Elton John Red Piano - Blu-ray Forum

Moneydemon3 · 10-28-2008, 08:58 PM

I have had the privilege of seeing this show three times in Vegas. It is a fantastic show and I must say the blu-ray really captures being there. If you are a fan of Elton John, I would recommend this best buy exclusive blu-ray.

I'll definitely be getting this one, having not been able to see the show live. The 60th Birthday Blu Ray is absolutely killer, so I'm looking forward to adding this one to my collection.

Hopefully we can get some older and rarer Elton concerts on Blu Ray (Rainbow Rock would be absolutely incredible).

I'm definitely going to pick this up
However, since there is no special pricing on this, I'm holding off until at least after Black Friday. If it's still regular price, I'll grab it.
I've been burned too many times getting something immediately that I don't have time to watch now in the first place.

Has anyone here actually watched this? I've heard that it's VHS Quality. I keep seeing this at BB but not too fond of blind buys for such bad reviews.

It's okay (the pic quality) and well worth the 9.99 I paid for it at Best Buy late last year. But it can't hold a flame to the superb Elton 60 blu-ray though!

Agreed. The Elton at 60 is outstanding.

Thanks for your review.

Do the two releases for this feature different audio/video quality?

I can't tell if the only difference is one includes 2 cds and one doesn't or if the second release offers improved audio and video.

Customer reviews for this range quite a bit from horrible quality, no better than the DVD version, to it being decent. A user review on this site mentions that second release might have been in HD but the original one wasn't. The back cover on Amazon for the original just states the same DVD audio tracks but the back cover for the second release lists DTS-HD Master Audio.

I wasn't happy with the 60th birthday blu-ray because it seemed that they pushed him to go further than his energy could sustain. Is this tighter and more energetic? I don't mind the husky vocals, but tired performances I don't need.
