Описание фильма: This is more than a concert film since, like Paul McCartney & Wings' "Rock Show", it features interviews and behind-the-scenes stuff mixed in. I recall seeing this film on TV when I was a young kid, and I was mesmerised even then by Elton's ability to perform a whole concert virtually alone. This is not to discount the manic antics of one Ray Cooper, percussionist extraordinaire on the British pop scene even today -- and a key member of the Elton John Band of the 70s.
In 1979 Elton toured many parts of the world -- Northern Ireland, Israel, and the USSR among others -- that weren't on the usual flight path of rock & pop stars. And he did it with only Ray Cooper to accompany him, musically speaking. In this film we see them perform stripped-down interpretations of many hits and strong cuts. They work hard to connect with the Soviet audiences, who are both restrained and constrained in their responses. We also have a time capsule of the first pop/rock performer allowed into the USSR, and many fascinating shots of the people and architecture there.
Buy this concert video of Elton John without the crazy costumes, without the gaudy glasses, without the crack backing band he used throughout most of the 70s. This is truly a singer-songwriter: a man and his music.
