Elton John One Night Only The Greatest Hits 2000

One Night Only The Greatest Hits is a live album by classic rock star Elton John. It was recorded at two concerts at the Madison Square Garden in New York in October 2000.

I don’t why but I’m irritated by the title One Night Only when there were two nights.

The album also brought out various famous guest stars – Kiki Dee, Ronan Keating, Bryan Adams, Anastacia and Mary J. Blige.

There’s obviously no problem with Kiki Dee singing on Don’t Go Breaking My Heart. We’d rather have her than anyone else. But I’m not sure that the Elton John purists are going to want the others.

It’s not like it’s John Lennon turning up to help sing Lucy In The Sky Of Diamonds is it? (see Here & There)

Genesis Live Over Europe 2007

Live Over Europe 2007 is a live album by Genesis recorded on their European tour in 2007.

Genesis have moved along way from their prog rock days of the early 1970s with Peter Gabriel. This album makes a good attempt at summarising and reconciling their history although it avoids the more extreme progressive rock numbers.

But let’s face it, we want Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett back for those, don’t we?
