In 1976, Elton John was at his peak as a pop star, having sent ``BLUE MOVES'' to No. 1 in the United States for seven consecutive years. The latest and super best version of the classic pro shot is now available. This work was filmed at “September 17, 1976 Edinburgh Performance”. This is the multi-camera pro shot. Speaking of 1976, in addition to the masterpiece "Blue Portrait" that marked a break in the collaboration with ally Bernie Taupin, the live album "HERE AND THERE" was also a hit. The Edinburgh performance of this work was also a special concert as it was a turning point before going on hiatus. In order to explain the circumstances, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time and check the show’s position. [“HERE AND THERE” released on April 30th]・April 29th – June 4th: UK (30 performances)・June 29th – August 17th: North America (31 performances)・September 17th: FESTIVAL OF POPULAR MUSIC appearance ←★This work★《“BLUE MOVES” released on October 22nd》》This is Elton John in 1976. It is remembered as the year of release of “BLUE MOVES”, but the only tour was “LOUDER THAN CONCORDE TOUR” accompanying the previous work “ROCK OF THE WESTIES”. The following year, 1977, there were only sporadic shows and no large-scale tours. Under such circumstances, the Edinburgh performance of this work was just before the release of "BLUE MOVES", and they participated in "FESTIVAL OF POPULAR MUSIC" which was held after the end of "LOUDER THAN CONCORDE TOUR". This show was usually a recital format with Elton playing the piano alone, without a band. Such special concerts were also broadcast, and FM sound boards and pro shots have been loved for a long time. In 1980, it was released as an official video work ``IN CONCERT AT EDINBURGH''. This work is the latest version of such a classic professional shot, updating the longest and highest peak. In fact, it was Elton's official release. Currently, he is launching a video archive project that will be a monument to his career, titled "CLASSIC CONCERT SERIES." The Edinburgh performance was the first to be distributed (it doesn't seem to be on sale). The latest official distribution, and as it is a well-planned project, the quality is ultimate. It goes without saying that it is the original master, and the sound and image quality, which has probably been brushed up with digital mastering, is truly the ultimate. It is absolutely official quality, and it can be officially released as is...I can't believe that it is limited to distribution even with such a finish. It is a quality that is astounding in the age of 2020, when modern archiving capabilities and still not being made into works. What is depicted with such visual beauty is a full show that sums up the heyday of "BLUE MOVES" while also including new songs. As mentioned above, it has been officially released, but the laser disc at that time was an incomplete version of 10 songs. On the other hand, this work has 21 songs that are more than twice as many. Let's organize the set here, including the increase in quantity.・Portrait of Elton John: Skyline Pigeon (★) ・My song is your song: I Need You To Turn To/Sixty Years On/Border Song/The Greatest Discovery (★)/Your Song・Elton John 3: Love Song (★)・Honky Chateau: Rocket Man/I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself (★)・Don't Shoot the Pianist!: Daniel (★)・Twilight Brick Road: Candle In The Wind/Bennie And The Jets/Sweet Painted Lady (★)/Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting・Caribbean: Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me・Captain Fantastic: Better Off Dead (★)/Someone Saved My Life Tonight・Blue Portrait: Tonight ( ★) / Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (★)・Others: Island Girl/The Bitch Is Back (★) / Don't Go Breaking My Heart (★) *Note: "★" marks are official VHS/LD " A song that could not be seen on “IN CONCERT AT EDINBURGH”. ...and it looks like this. Although this selection is probably intended to be played and sung, it makes you realize how many good songs Elton wrote during his heyday and made them hits. Although the style is different from the band-style live albums “HERE AND THERE” and the “GREATEST HITS” series, it is a video work that concentrates the golden era. This is a piece of ultimate quality that has been polished and archived by the official side of a historic classic pro shot. No matter how old we are, it is wrong that such visual beauty has not been made into a work of art. Such an absolutely inevitable and ultimate piece of music.
