    Being a massive fan of Elton, I was really looking forward to this DVD. The content was very good, interviews and contributions from old band members like Nigel Olssen, Dee Murray and Davey Johnstone. Gus Dudgeon is an ever present throught the documentary and gives a fascinating insight into some of the tracks and how they were mixed. The main disappointment for me was that although it is stated that the documentary is 90 minutes long, it is actually only fifty minutes.Another forty minutes covering all of the tracks on GYBR would have made it perfect and would have got 5 star rating. If you are an Elton John fan, particularly his early stuff then this is a must see

    More of a documentary about Elton John's early career rather than GYR. Got bored - didn't finish the film which is unusual for me.

    A sweet reminder of how music once was, when artists had time to develop and Record Company Execs took risks.

    Great footage of Elton and his crew hanging out. Touches on the relationship between Elton and Bernie and the stories behind his lyrics. Good insight into their unique relationship. Could have gone into more depth about production.
