Elton John is pushing forward with his final tour “FAREWELL YELLOW BRICK ROAD Tour”. The ultimate image of the topic that will be the symbol is here.
“November 20, 2022 Los Angeles performance” is included in this work. It is a multi-camera pro shot of the final American performance at “Dodger Stadium”. The “FAREWELL YELLOW BRICK ROAD Tour” started in 2018, but was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was restarted from 2022. This time it’s a super definitive work that will definitely become a big staple in the future, so let’s review the schedule after the restart for those who don’t know the recent situation.
● 2021
《“THE LOCKDOWN SESSIONS” will be released on October 22nd》
● 2022
・ January 19-April 28: North America # 1 (40 performances)
・May 21-July 4: Europe #1 (20 performances)
・July 15-November 20: North America #2 (33 performances) ← Coco
● 2023
・ January 8-24: Oceania (8 performances)
・ March 23-July 8: Europe #2 (51 performances)
This is the plan after the tour resumes. The final leg “Europe # 2” is about to start next month, but the Dodger Stadium performance of this work is three months ago. It was a concert on the final day of “North America # 2”, the last US tour.
This work, filmed at such a show, is a completely official-class professional shot. No, “pro shot” is not suitable for expressing the quality of this work. It’s a “movie” straight out. That should be it, this video was produced by the largest entertainment company in mankind that even dominates the Hollywood movie industry. We are shooting a show for the documentary film “GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD: The Final Elton John Performances And the Years That Made His Legend”, which is currently in production, and released a concert film as a precedent work on a dedicated channel. This work is a DVD version of such latest delivery.
For that reason, the shooting and camera work are like Hollywood movies. The countless number of angles, including drone aerial photography, is different from normal professional shots, and the composition and proof are carefully worked out up to 1 cut 1 cut, and it is beautiful and dynamic like the famous scene of the movie. The so-called “picture-forming” scene that continues without exception for a single second is exactly what a Hollywood movie is. It makes me feel like I’m watching a sequel to the movie “Rocketman” rather than a live video.
The ultimate quality of 2022 will be the ultimate greatest hits that summarizes Eiko Career. Finally, keep things organized.

… and it looks like this. Although it is a familiar “FAREWELL YELLOW BRICK ROAD Tour” set for collectors, this work also features a gorgeous guest. “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” features Brandi Carlyle, who loves Elton, and “Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)” is a duet with Dua Lipa, who also participated in “THE LOCKDOWN SESSIONS”. “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” also overlaps the singing voice with Kiki Dee as the original.
A highlight performance of the latest “FAREWELL YELLOW BRICK ROAD Tour” that you can enjoy with a blockbuster movie quality that is different from the usual professional shots. That is the essence of this work. It is a musical work that enriches Elton’s career, and at the same time, the cutting edge of music video that modern humanity has reached. Exactly the absolute work of 2022. Please fully enjoy it with a set of 2 DVDs.
