Elton John — Madison Square Garden, 2000

Live Elton John concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden on 20 and 21 October 2000, the venue where the British singer holds the attendance record for a solo artist. This capture corresponds to the nights that gave rise to the album and film One Night Only – The Greatest Hits. Alone at the piano or backed by his longtime band — guitarist Davey Johnstone and drummer Nigel Olsson — Elton John revisits half a century of hits: “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding”, “Bennie and the Jets”, “Rocket Man”, “Tiny Dancer”, “I’m Still Standing”, “Crocodile Rock” and “Candle in the Wind”. The concert is also marked by prestigious guests, from Billy Joel on “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” to Mary J. Blige and Ronan Keating. Filmed in Manhattan’s legendary arena, this full concert is a living anthology of Elton John’s repertoire, carried by the voice and piano of one of the greatest pop singer-songwriters of the 20th century, captured at the dawn of the 2000s.
