Roundhouse, London, England 28th October 2010 PRO-SHOT

　Elton John and Leon Russell achieved great success with their collaborative album “THE UNION,” which reached No. 3 in the US. Two superb professional shots will be released at the same time as the official release!

　This work is a special edition of the two simultaneous releases. It is a multi-camera pro shot of the “London performance on October 28, 2010”. In the commentary on the sister work “BEACON THEATRE 2010 (Uxbridge 2505)” released at the same time, we looked at the situation at the time from Elton’s schedule, but here we will check the positional relationship of the sister works in the overview of the co-starring project.

●2010

　This is the overall picture of the collaboration project in which the two heroes stood side by side. In both 2010 and 2011, the main focus was on their solo activities, but they also performed together in between. The main one was the 16-performance “THE UNION Tour.” Almost all of the performances were in the United States, with the only exception being the London performance of this work. This show was part of the BBC-sponsored festival “Electric Proms.” In 2010, it was held over three days, with Elton & Leon performing on the first day (note that “Electric Proms” ended that year).

　The stage was filmed in a pyro and broadcast in a special format two days after the actual performance. This work was made into a DVD from that HD master. The quality is, of course, “fully official grade”. Not to mention the image quality and sound quality, the festival hosted by the world-renowned BBC itself could not be shoddy, and the quality of the master and the filming technique were the highest peak of the visual beauty possible in 2010.

　The perfect quality of the program is depicted in a unique way that only a slightly unusual special program can achieve. The program is divided into two parts, with the first half being a one-hour digest of the live stage, known as the “Concert Edition.” The second half is the “Making of the Show,” which details the backstage of the show itself. However, the “Making of the Show” is not just a documentary, but also includes performances that were not seen in the “Concert Edition.” Here, let’s focus on the songs performed and organize them.

●The Union (8 songs)
Monkey Suit/When Love Is Dying/Gone To Shiloh/A Dream Come True/Hey Ahab/Jimmie Rodgers’ Dream (＊)/There’s No Tomorrow (＊)/Hearts Have Turned To Stone (＊)
●Others (9 songs)
Elton John: Burn Down the Mission/Tiny Dancer/I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues (with Plan B)/Sad Songs (Say So Much)/Your Song/The Bitch Is Back (★)/Ballad Of A Well Known Gun (＊)
Leon Russell: A Song For You/This Masquerade (★: with Rumer)

*Note: The “★” mark indicates songs that cannot be seen in the sister pro shot “BEACON THEATRE 2010 (Uxbridge 2505)”. The “*” mark indicates songs that appear in the second half of the documentary.

… and so on. Although the number of songs is smaller than that of the sister work 2-disc “BEACON THEATRE 2010” released at the same time, this work also features “The Bitch Is Back” and “This Masquerade” that are unique to the London performance. In addition, local young singers such as Rumer, who has just made his debut, and Plan B, who will appear on “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues”, will appear as guests. The two also appear in the making of the special performance, adding luster to the special performance.

　In terms of Elton John & Leon Russell’s main road, “BEACON THEATRE 2010” is the absolute must, as you can enjoy all the songs of “THE UNION”, but this work also has plenty of fun unique to the special edition. This is a chance to collect the symbolic British and American professional shots with the best master. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content.

★Multi-camera pro shot of the “London performance on October 28, 2010”. The first half is a “concert edition” that focuses on the live performance, and the second half is a “making of” edition of the show itself. This BBC special program was made into a DVD from the best existing HD master, and the quality is “completely official class”. This special edition also includes guest appearances not included in the sister work “BEACON THEATRE 2010”, as well as “The Bitch Is Back” and “This Masquerade”.
