Elton did just that on Sunday, November 20, 2022, the third of three nights at the venue (including Thursday and Friday that week), culminating in a stylistically enhanced experience that night, which included special guests. That concert was live streamed on Disney+ as Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium, with a live edit and audio mix shot with 28 cameras. The edit continued to be available until January 27, 2023, when a new edit, which made use of footage shot all three nights and a new mix, became permanently available on the streamer.
"I had a very big, bold vision for what I thought Elton's fans would want in a farewell tour, which we decided to call 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road," a reference to his massive hit 1973 album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, says David Furnish, Elton's husband and the tour's Creative Director. To help plan the lengthy tour, which began in 2018, Furnish brought in legendary Lighting Director and Show Director Patrick Woodroffe (Rolling Stones, Dylan), to pull all of the ingredients together, veteran video content producer Sam Pattinson of Treatment Studio, and legendary creative director Tony King.
Elton and Furnish first developed a setlist of 25 songs drawn from his decades of hits. "As much as anything, it is a journey," notes Woodroffe, with each song given its own identity via lighting, video content, and more. "One where he slowly reveals himself to us. By the time the house lights come up you want to feel he is your best friend,"

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
