Just got my CD in the mail today. The orchestral version of Electricity is fab. I sounds like the one I heard in the theater. It is far better than the one heard on the video.

In my heart, I found the answered dream, and in my soul I found the song, and in my friends I found the magic, the love, the moon up above- they were mine, all mine, all along..!

WAIT - so they already recorded the album??????

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

i believe he's talking about the electricity single, not the full cast recording.

Just the single? Better than nothing, I guess.

I was talking about the Elton John Maxi single indeed. It has three tracks :

Electricity 3:30 like the one on the video
Electricity (orchestral version) 3:52 with a wonderful theatrical orchestration
And a live version of Your Song.

I got my CD at dress circle.

hi, i am after the version of electricity which is featured in the musical and was also featured on the royal variety performance (it is different because it has an up-tempo section in it towards the end)
i was wondering if anyone knows where i can download/get it from - i just wanted the music, but i'd be happy to get the video clip of it!!
if ne1 can help, i really really need it soon 4 a choreography display...
(i alredy have the 2nd edition dvd an the full song is not on there)
