The Red Piano

This four disc box set is one of Elton John's most expansive. The first DVD is the actual concert at Caesar's Palace with fourteen songs played to perfection in front of a 4,100 seat crowd. Its Elton's famous band members combined with a theatrical show combining visual delights like neon sculptures, pop art inflatable's, pole-dancing Pamela Anderson, giant love hearts, balloons and more. Filmmaker David LaChapelle has included original videos for the backdrop for each individual song. There is constant music and constant motion awash in color. The show is much more intimate than the Madison Square Garden 60th Birthday party concert. Elton does a lot more personal talking in this great video as well. The show is available in Dolby stereo or DTS surround.
The second DVD includes an in depth look at the behind the scenes setup of the theater with plenty of individual band member interviews and a great deal of personal perspective and insight from Elton John. It is a remarkable story about what brought about "The Red Piano" show as well as a good briefing on the Elton John band. An excellent addition.
Not to leave out this great music from a non-DVD player, there are two additional CD's that contain all the songs from the show, plus an additional one, "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues". The entire set is contained in a nice 5" X 7" X 1" cardboard box enclosure.
