Elton John competition
5 October 2007 - Elton John celebrated his 60th birthday on March 25th this year by making his 60th appearance at Madison Square Garden in New York in front of 20,000 fans... and we have FIVE DVD boxsets of this concert to give away!
ELTON 60: LIVE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN features special appearances by Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg and ends with an emotional rendition of Your Song.
During the three-hour plus show he paid tribute to John Lennon, who famously joined him on stage at the Garden in November 1974 in what turned out to be former Beatle's last concert performance before his death.
Sir Elton's long-time songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to him, as a basketball shirt-style banner reading "Elton 60" was unveiled in his honour at the venue.
The two-disc package features all 33 songs on the 2007 Madison Square Garden set list, including classics such as "Your Song," "Crocodile Rock" and "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" and rare live cuts including the appropriately named opener, "Sixty Years On," plus "Madman Across the Water," "Ballad of a Well-Known Gun" and "Roy Rogers."
The DVD set is also loaded with special extra features, including a wealth of "Live, Rare and Unseen" concert tracks, such as a 1970 version of "Border Song" from Swiss television, BBC renditions of "Tiny Dancer" and "Levon" from 1971, and a mini-set of selected "New York Stories" performances culled from Elton's seemingly endless catalogue of live performances in NY and album tracks that mention the Big Apple.
