Watch The Union For Free
The Union
In November 2009, filmmaker Cameron Crowe began filming a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the album The Union, a collaboration between musicians Elton John and Leon Russell, who hadn't spoken to one another in 38 years prior to beginning work on the album. In addition, the documentary offers a rare glimpse into the process John goes through to create and compose his music. Featured in the film are musicians Neil Young, Brian Wilson, Booker T. Jones, steel guitarist Robert Randolph, Don Was and a 10-piece gospel choir who all contribute to the album, which is produced by award-winning producer T-Bone Burnett. Musician Stevie Nicks and John's long-time lyricist Bernie Taupin also appear.

Let's be realistic.
A lot of fun.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
WOW!!! what a show I was there Saturday night what a treat I have seen Leon many time 1st time for Elton something I will never forget. Thanks for the music guy's!!! The band was unreal true music folks. The sound was fantastic. I cant wait to see the guy's again Years ago I saw Leon he did a version of Pruple Rain that just killed would love to see that or a recording of that tune no one but Leon could blow Prince away. Maybee Elton & Leon could do this tune. Can't wait. Thanks... Leon is a true treasure to the music world his work with so many legendary musicians is unreal he deserves much more than he has received keep up the good work, he tours like a child I don't know how he keeps up with the tour shedule, Leon is truly the man.
