On December 4, 2007, the "Elton 60" concert is to be released worldwide on high-definition Blu-Ray format. The Blu-Ray version will be the only one that features the complete, uninterrupted 60th birthday show from Madison Square Garden. (The standard DVD could not store the entire show on one disc and so it was split apart). The single Blu-Ray disc also includes the wonderful bonus tracks, 'Live, Rare and Unseen' and 'Elton's New York Stories' - all archived footage from many of Elton's seminal concert and TV performances throughout the years.
This disc is compatible only with Blu-Ray players. It will not play on a standard DVD player.For the technically-minded these are the format facts: the aspect ratio is 1.78:1. 1080p HD picture, Uncompressed PCM 5.1 Surround Sound, Uncompressed PCM Stereo audio, Live, Color.
The show is breathtaking in high definition and the audio sounds amazing!
