I don't know how to access the egg using a regular DVD player. But if
you play the DVD on your computer using the freeware program VLC,
simply select Title 6.

It's there...
Chose to see all songs on the first part of the concert. When it's finished,
just don't stop it, it will play on and the easter egg starts after a time.

I have the Limited Edition Box Set.

Well it doesn't work on mine. I have the regular US set. I don't
believe the Box Set is available here yet and only from Amazon.com.
and will be shipped aroungd the 16th or 18th of this month.

Which version are you using? USA or UK?

Thanks!

I went to Disc 1 and the Live, Rare & Unseen section
After Tinderbox --I left it playing and it said something about Hidden
Track--basically credits rolled to the audio of the Bridge.
No footage from 1984 video.

I've been trying with the US version. I just got the box set today and
I'll check it out later.

Thanks!

PS Is there an online site you know of that I can view the UK Box Set?

Ok I had success==from the forum at eltonjohn.com!

Insert disc #1 (pink disc) and select "Live, Rare & Unseen". When that
screen comes on, select "stop". After the disc stops, press "6" and
"enter" on your DVD remote. The next thing you should see is the title
for SNAFF.

It does work--I saw SNAFF from 1984!!

Dancer, you are talking about theUS release, correct? I'll give it a
try.

Anyway, I got ripped off by Amazon. I ordered the box set and it's
missing the Backstage Laminate. Also th bonus CD is songs from the
same concert. Not woth the etra bucks.

I thought I saw on a UKsight a completly different box set....anyone
know where to look?

Hi dancer,

Still can't get it to work. Are you using the UK or US version?

I'm sending my US version back because it's missing the Backstage
Laminate.

Sort of a crappy deluxe box set IMHO.

Thanks,

jeff

About the CD, we got ripped off by the official site too, who claimed initially that the CD was a
selection from classic tours career-spanning.

Dancer...Thanks for the tip, i was able to watch the SNAFF bonus
video. I wonder if EJ needed a break after the song but he sings so
fast, to me he almost sounds like an old vinyl album playing at the 45
speed.

Thanks Gro.....it does look like the UK and the USA version are
exactly the same.

An Adrea, if you are reading this you are right. I remember reading
about some classic material being included,Country Comfort 1970 sticks
in my mind. What happened to all that!

Thanks for getting back to me.

As always lately, Elton is managed by idiots, and when there is a chance to make something really
good, somewhat they have the power to ruin it. The 60th concert is really something unique, but
since they thought about some extras, they could have done definitely MORE!

Do you know what? One of the bonus is GYBR from a ZDF tv show from 1973...and at the start they
wrote that this clip was "lost since 1991".
Well, this same clip was included in the "The very best" DVD in 1990, so the line "lost since 1991"
doesn't make sense at all!!! And what's the funniest part? That the quality of the clip included in
the "The very best" DVD is FAR BETTER than the quality of the one included in the 60th DVD (that
have some noise lines)!!! Is anyone able to explain me WHY???

Andrea, I think you answered our own question, 'Elton is managed by
idiots'.
