Elton John/London,UK 1974 Upgrade

Elton John in 1974, who reigned at the top of the music scene, achieving the feat of four consecutive US and UK No. 1 albums from “Don’t Shoot the Piano Player!” to “Greatest Hits”. The highest peak updated version of the professional shot that symbolizes that heaviest period is here. The symbolic footage was shot at Hammersmith Odeon on December 24, 1974. It is a multi-camera professional shot of the Christmas concert held at the height of his power. Speaking of 1974, the stage was also recorded in “HERE AND THERE” while “Caribbean” and “Greatest Hits” were piled up. In order to organize the situation around that, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time.・February 1st-13th: Japan (12 performances) ・February 21st-March 18th: Oceania (4 performances) ・May 5th-27th: UK #1 (3 performances) ←※Official HERE《June 28th release of “CARIBOU”》 ・September 25th-November 4th: North America #1 (24 performances)《November 8th release of “GREATEST HITS”》 ・November 8th-December 3rd: North America #2 (20 performances) ←※Official THERE ・December 20th-24th: UK #2 (5 performances) ←★Here★ This is Elton John in 1974. It was a year of great heyday with the “GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD Tour” and “CARIBOU Tour”, but the conclusion was a 5-day consecutive performance at the traditional venue “Hammersmith Odeon” in his home country. This work is the final day of that. Since this show is Christmas Eve, the prestigious BBC will also air it on radio and television. In particular, the TV pro shot of the famous program “OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST” has become a classic among classics. And it is destined that the video that symbolizes the era will be repeatedly upgraded along with technological advances. This video has also updated the highest peak of each era many times, and this work is the latest digital rebroadcast. It is the ultimate quality version that was just released the other day (December 23, 2021). In fact, the quality is ultimate. After all, if the broadcast is digital, the recording is digital and there is no analog path at all. The beauty of the video of the station master itself owned by the BBC has been transferred to DVD. However, there is one thing I would like to point out here. If you have noticed this article, you may know that in addition to the broadcast version, there is also a long version of about 82 minutes by the leaked master. This work is much more polluting than the leaked one, but the editing is based on the broadcast version of about an hour, so it is not the longest version. Of course, even though it’s about 20 minutes (5 songs), the super quality of this work more than makes up for it. So, what are the masterpieces depicted in such ultimate visual beauty? Let’s organize them here. My Song is Your Song: Your Song Honky Chateau: Honky Cat Don’t Shoot the Pianist!: Crocodile Rock Twilight Brick Road: Grey Seal (just a snippet) / Bennie And The Jets / Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting Caribbean: Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me / The Bitch Is Back Others: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds / I Saw Her Standing There / White Christmas … and so on. It’s a truly magnificent greatest hits, but it’s not just a hit parade. Beatles numbers such as “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” and “I Saw Her Standing There”, which were released as singles at the time, are also accents, and the highlight is the big last “White Christmas”. You can enjoy the climax of a Christmas concert that you can’t even hear in “HERE AND THERE”. The broadcast version, which I thought was out of commission due to the leaked master, is an upgrade master that counterattacks with superb quality. A completely official masterpiece that colors the New Year holidays with Elton’s passionate performance and famous songs. A piece that captures a shining show with shining visual beauty. A multi-camera pro shot of the “December 24, 1974 Hammersmith Odeon performance”. At the height of the Christmas concert, the TV broadcast on the famous program OGWT has been a staple for many years. This work is the latest and highest version, and is a digital rebroadcast version that was just released the other day (December 23, 2021). The best thing about modern rebroadcasts is the master quality without any degradation. After all, if the broadcast is digital, the recording is also digital, and there is no analog path at all. The visual beauty of the station master itself owned by the BBC has been transferred to DVD. In addition to the greatest hits in their heyday, Beatles covers such as “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” and “I Saw Her Standing There” and “White Christmas” are also delicious, completely official video masterpieces.
