Elton John [ tickets ]
"The Red Piano"
(Island)

Those who couldn't make it to Elton John's Las Vegas residency at Caesar's Palace can now enjoy "The Red Piano" in the comfort of their own homes. Though originally available only at Best Buy stores, the DVD is now shelved at a variety of retail outlets. The signature red piano, offset by imagery developed by renowned photographer David LaChapelle, complements the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's 14-song performance, which includes hits "Bennie and the Jets," "Rocket Man," "Tiny Dancer" and Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting." The Blu-ray version also features a 50-minute documentary on the legendary performer entitled "The Life and Legacy of Elton John." John began "The Red Piano" in 2004; the lengthy run ended last month.
