Customer Reviews of Classic Albums - Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Behind the yellow brick road... Don't miss this opportunity to explore the songwriting process of what became a landmark pop album of the '70s. Elton John and Bernie Taupin were truly at their creative peak when this double album was released. Song by song, these tunes should be required listening for anyone remotely interested in pop music.
Not only have these songs stood the test of time but continue to be the bench mark upon all future releases the dynamic duo would be judged. Hey, they almost pulled it off again two years later with '75's Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. But the latter was less commercial in it's approach and told a more personal story of their humble beginnings.
Wanna know why Elton John is important? Buy this dvd and see. And hear. Together with virtually everyone involved (excluding bassist Dee Murray who died of cancer in '92), you won't miss a single detail about how this album was crafted. This "music factory" was basically, Elton, Taupin, the band and producer Gus Dudgeon (who also has died since this was taped). Together they were responsible for the string of classic Elton John albums and singles from 1970-1975.
From Elton's ability to easily craft melodies from Taupin's story book lyrics, the deft hand of Gus Dudgeon guiding the process, and the incredible band that took each song to new heights (not to mention the soaring backing vocals), you'll find yourself buying the cd immediately if you don't already own it.
Excellent Analysis of the Creative Process
This is a documentary of how album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" was created and recorded (it is not a music DVD). If you are an Elton John fan, you will get vintage footage of Elton and the band, along with new footage and interviews.
However, even if you are not a big fan of EJ, it contains a fascinating post-mortem and explanation of how the album was recorded, mixed, and arranged by the original guys who did it: Gus Dudgeon and David Hentschel, while in a recording studio, take us through the mixing and engineering of the songs, and Del Newman explains his arrangements. Davey Jonestone plays and explains some of his guitar riffs he used in EJs songs which is pretty cool if you play the guitar, ... Dee Murray is no longer with us, but Gus analyzes his bass playing for us...And of course, there is the analysis of Elton's piano playing and vocals...and Bernie explains some of his lyrics.
To be 5 stars, we should have got Nigel to disect some of his drum playing...and we should have got something on how the wonderful art work for the original vinyl double album was created...Still, a very enjoyable and recommended DVD.
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road explored.
This is the best documentary of the best Elton John Album:Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.This album elevated Elton John as the king of pop/rock in 70's.You can find rare videos of shows, in the studio and of course people like Gus Dudgeon, Nigel Olsson explaing curiosits.I like Davey Johnstone explaing the your guitar in the tracks and of course Elton John with his magnificant piano.Of the album my favorite track is Bennie and the Jets and in this DVD, this track is also my favorite too.
