I'd rather have a show from the original tour rather than the 2005 performances.

The 30th anniversary edition had most of a show from 1975; that's apparently being reissued separately on vinyl this time.

There is a BluRay with an Atmos mix but it is only available on an exclusive site. I am fed up with these exclusive products. I have the SACD with 5.1 and an original target CD that sounds great.

One of my favorite EJ albums, the original vinyl was full of goodies, one of the best vinyl releases ever. Will the new lp also have those goodies?

Since I have the 30th anniversary edition, do I buy this for some demos and 2005 live tracks? Who's kidding who? I have no self control.

I was in the process of doing the same until I learned that shipping would be $31.00.
That's a NO from me, Elton.

Shipping came up as $11 for me. But I still haven't ordered it. Testing my will power.

Only $11 for shipping??
C’mon, Elton!!
Why is the cheapest shipping to western NY a whopping $31?

I would double check that you weren't on Elton's UK store. When I sign in it gives me a choice of UK or USA.

You are correct, sir! On my first attempt, I wasn't given the choice of UK or USA. Tried again and an order with the USA site yields a shipping charge of about $11.
