I love the SACD-releases he put out of his 70s albums, thank goodness I bought those when they were easily obtainable.
Have to admit that I didn't buy his Leon Russell collaboration, perhaps I'll buy it one fine day when I have too much money to spend.
The thing that bothers me about Elton John's releases is the absolute lack of 70s concert dvds. He was in his prime then, the bootleg clips of Edinburgh 76 etc. are amazing stuff to watch and listen to, but nothing appears to surface as an official release. Instead we get Red Piano and whatever his latest efforts are. That's just plain wrong.

Yeah, I wish he had more official material released during his prime! Least we got stuff like Moscow 1979, Wembley 1977, Central Park 1980, Hammy 1982, and Wembley 1984!
Madman Across the Water is one of my favourite 3 albums of all time. 'Levon' is particular is one of those songs that makes the hairs on my neck stand up. Its amazing there was no extra material/outtakes on the reissues a few years ago.
There is a Levon demo on youtube which is amazing
Oh, man, couldn't agree more about Levon. Easily in my top 10 or 20 of all time. It's one of those songs that is so fundamentally good that it's weirdly both immensely hard to screw up and yet impossible to be entirely worthy of. That said, this is a cover I enjoy. It's not perfect, but it's worth a play. link
Everytime I hear it I wish it didn't fade out... I want it to carry on forever.. by the way, before I click on the link above it better not be that turgid crap by Jon Bon bastard Jovi......

Perhaps we will see his 70s gems in restored quality some day, or 30 years from now.
Another thing that puzzles me is the lack of Face to Face-tour releases, you'd think they (EJ and Billy Joel) would have done a live-dvd by now and a duet (or they recorded one but never released it).
