5 stars All technicalities aside, this is one awesome set by Elton John !!!
Elton John always does things big; and this CD/DVD set is no exception. This latest release covers most if not all of his biggest hits during his 35 year career. Although it claims to be comprehensive, Elton had so much success that many people will still wish this had included even more stellar songs than it already has! Indeed, there's simply not a loser in this bunch. Both the CD and the DVD give you nothing but a treasure trail of hit after hit after hit. Elton's recordings leave you excited…

I am thinking of tracks such as "Empty Garden", "Mama Can't buy you love" and the brilliant "Chloe".
