Billy Connolly: It’s Been a Pleasure...
As all-time comedy-great Sir Billy Connolly steps back from his legendary stand-up shows, this star-studded special celebrates Billy’s uproarious time on-stage and laughs along with his greatest stand-up moments. Filmed at his home in the Florida Keys, Billy looks back fondly at five hilarious decades on stage. There are exclusive chats with some of Billy's biggest famous fans including Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, Dustin Hoffman, Whoopi Goldberg, Russell Brand, Sir Lenny Henry, Aisling Bea, Armando Iannucci and Sheridan Smith - alongside the insider insights of his wife and soulmate, Pamela Stephenson. Billy Connolly: It’s Been A Pleasure… is a definitive celebration of a comedy colossus. An uplifting, emotional and hysterically funny 75 minutes in the company of the Big Yin at his entertaining best. It will make you laugh. It may even make you cry. A festive treat and a fitting send-off for a stand-up like no other.
Hating Peter Tatchell
7.6/10
The powerful and inspiring true story of the controversial human rights campaigner whose provocative acts of civil disobedience rocked the British establishment, revolutionised attitudes to homosexuality and exposed world tyrants. As social attitudes change and history vindicates Peter's stance on gay rights, his David versus Goliath battles gradually win him status as a national treasure. The film follows Peter as he embarks on his riskiest crusade yet by seeking to disrupt the FIFA World Cup in Moscow to draw attention to the persecution of LGBT+ people in Russia and Chechnya.
Elton John - Madison Square Garden
Elton’s favorite venue to perform in, a band 15-strong with long-time members and newcomers alike, a star-studded line-up of guest artists (Billy Joel, Mary J. Blige, Ronan Keating, Bryan Adams, Anastacia, Kiki Dee), and a set list of hits from every corner of his amazing career. What more could a fan ask for? Those in attendance still speak about these shows – this video is in fact a combination of two evenings at MSG – with great fondness and the surprise addition of The Beatles’ “Come Together”, a song Elton had never played live before, only adds to the concert’s fan status. (Look for John Jorgeson’s ‘Yellow Submarine’ guitar!)
Elton John - Arena di Verona, Italy
Elton’s first ever concert in Verona, and just his 10th in Italy, took place during his 130-show global tour of 1988-1989 to promote the album “Reg Strikes Back”, which reached #3 in Italy. Backed by his new eight-piece band, Elton delighted the crowd, and those watching live across Europe on Sky TV, with songs from throughout his career; he began the show with four selections from 1970 and included five from the new album in the 22-song set list. Clearly moved by the audience, who enthusiastically lead the performer into a gospel soul rendition of “Sad Songs (Say So Much)” before witnessing one of his funkier extended piano solos during “Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters (Part Two)”, Elton and the band, anchored by drummer Jonathan Moffett (George Michael, Madonna, Michael Jackson and the Jackson family) gave it their all on that Wednesday evening with a performance that stands the test of time over 30 years later.
