Customer Reviews of To Russia With Elton
From Russia with Love By 1979, Elton John was in a creative slump. He broke up with his longtime lyricist, Bernie Taupin. His hit streek was dwindling vastly, and his 1978 album A Single Man flopped. But in 1979, Elton's career started on an upward swing. He started a
solo tour with just him and percussionist Ray Cooper. They embarked on a world tour that took them to places they never performed in before. Someone said that they should try performing in Russia, which at first they thought was impossible. But they were wrong. Elton became the first pop star to perform behind the Iron Curtain. Elton and Ray's stripped-down
performances of songs like Bennie and the Jets (great version of
the song), Part Time Love, Funeral for a Friend, Tonight, and I Think I'm Gonna Kill Myself come alive with flare. Elton does a few performances without Ray. His solo performances of his megahits Rocket Man, Candle in the Wind, Your Song and Daniel are good, but cannot be compared to his haunting version of Sixty Years On, with haunting photos of Russia's poor people. But the highlight is the closing Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting/Pinball Wizard medley. Elton and Ray use just piano and drums here, and they give off a hard-rocking medley of the classic Elton tracks. This tape is an excellent video.
Better than expected. Highly entertaining!
This is a wonderful look at Elton at an earlier age. Not only is the music wonderful, but the video also offers Elton's and Ray's comments on their trip and its political and social ramifications. Since the performance was only 2 people: Elton at the piano with the fabulous Ray Cooper on percussion, we see Elton's mastery of the keyboard, which is often overshadowed in other concerts by grandiose orchestrations. I even discovered a terrific Elton song I had never heard before ("Part Time Love"). Definitely a good addition to any Elton John video and music collection.
Elton is the one to do that
Live in Russia is a real image of Elton carrer this video show how life could be hard for a professional singner.Elton sing most of is hits but the audience don't really seem to enjoy...don't have to tell you that me see the real passion for the signer outside of the stage see people screaming for Elton...a very good moment a video to buy
