One of Madonna'a finest concerts!

5.1 surround sound now works and the production is phenomenal. A journey from  the perspective of characters from cinema and stage influence: a violent super vixen acting out her rage; a marching majorette with a take charge message; a call to be socially just in one's actions; a Vogueing catwalk; a Cabaret singer channeling her vulnerable place;  and an enlightened prophet of peace. Madonna puts on a show to rival all with 10 classic  hits revisited and much from her latest album MDNA. Fans will love it!

I loved this concert and it's a joy and true blessing to have all these tremendous videos of the great singers. The selections were outstanding and there were several I hadn't heard before.  I highly recommend purchasing this for their collection!

Christina is on top of her game. The stage show is elaborate, the band is comprised of top musicians, and her voice is in fine form. VERY impressive concert and it shows that she just keeps on getting better and better. I like the Back to Basics theme, gives her more of an outlet to really show off her great vocal range, much more so than her last album, Stripped. Anyways, this dvd is definitely enjoyable and a must have for Christina fans.

DVD arrived about 3 days later..very fast shipment.  The concert on DVD was AMAZING! I watched it 3x.  DVD also includes a CD with live songs from the tour as well.  The songs "Like a Virgin" and "Lucky Star" will blow you away!

This DVD is simply tremendous!!  The Bee Gees have recorded one of their finest performances with awesome DTS audio.  Their sound is better than it has ever been and the brothers' voices are as rich as they ever were.  Many of the melodies are done with few instruments, so the harmonies are crisp like I have never heard them before.  A tremendous collection of their songs along with extras like Celine Dion make the audio alone worth having this concert.  The video show is just as fresh, filmed on location at MGM in Las Vegas, the light show is intricate and dramatic.  Be ready to sing along with this one and yes, even clap your hands.  We were up dancing in our living room!!  If you are old enough to remember the Bee Gees at the height of their careers, they can still inspire. A great home theater pick for the family, the audio is rich and yet not overdone.  Another generation should get turned on the 'Brothers' Gibb' with this DVD.

Celine's concert was not only wonderful to listen to but was also a delight to watch.  Although I normally don't like dancers interfering with music, they did a remarkable job blending in with Celine's music and giving her time to change for her next number.  The lighting and special effects were great as was the sound.  If you like Celine Dion, this is the concert to buy!

Suffice to say, I have seen many and varied "rock" concerts in my 41 years.  This, however, was MY best!  This despite the fact that we had upper balcony seats.  The only reason I did not give this DVD a 5 star rating is that there was not enough prolonged footage of the full stage.  You miss some of the pleasure of watching the simultaneous  interaction of the performers.  For example, The green silhouetted AOL-ish type figures, in and amongst the band, during The Current were amazing when seen as a whole, from the audiences point of view.  Also, the line of percussionists were mesmerizing to watch as they pummeled their kits.  Especially when the parts of a song featured their playing in almost choreographed unison.  I am generally not a fan of showy guitarist, but these three guys genuinely and unpretensiously rocked!  The overall energy of the entire band was an evening constant and was awe inspiring.  We had bought tickets for my  Mom & Dad (for his b-day) several months in advance.  I new little of the BMG and was not really thrilled to be going the night of this (I believe) the last show of the tour, in Grand Prarie.  I was merely expecting some mild "performance art" entertainment and nothing more.  We dutifully arrived on time, but the horrendous parking situation caused us to miss the opening acts (Venus Hum & Tracy Bonham).  When the show started I immediately began smiling and could tell this was going to be an enchanted evening indeed!  When the show concluded, I turned to M'Lady and declared that it was the best concert I had ever seen to date.  The DVD captures the show almost perfectly.  I do regret that White Rabbit was not able to be included (I wonder why?).  I guess I'll have to get the Compex CD for that one.  As for Piano Smasher, we at least get to see a lttle smashin' during Baba O'Riley.  Overall, highly recommended.

This is definately a great show. It is very high powered from the beginning to the end. Madonna has so much energy in this tour. It was recorded in Syndey, Australia and most of the songs are from her Erotica album.

Its starts with Erotica. Madonna is dressed at Dita. If you like the video and the song you will love the peformance. After the performance she slowly walks down the catwalk with her 5" heel boots and performs Peegy Lees rendition of Fever. Fever has a lot of energy to it and she dances with both her male dancers.  Vogue is an absolutely stunning performance with beautiful constumes and set up. Rain is breathtaking with the beautiful umbrellas being twirled around and you hear the rain and thunder. She slips "its just my imagination" in during Rain.

Express Yourself starts off with Madonna coming down a 70's ball and is all disco as well is Deeper and Deeper great constumes here too. Why Is It So Hard, starts after Deeper and Deeper and gets are little R rated, enough said. In This Life Madonna emotionally sings about a friend of hers who has died from Aids. She is not on during the Beast Within but you can hear her repeating the words from the Book Of Revelations. During Like  A Virgin; she is dressed up in a mans suit and sings in a different voice. I wish she had sang it with her voice like from the Blonde Ambition  Tour. It was rather slow and boring. Bye Bye Bye is funny and great and has all her female dancers are on and she plays the male role as she touches her female dancers.  I didn't care for I am going Bananas at all. She looks great when she sings La Isla Bonita very pretty. She performs her hit Holiday dressed up in military suits. It's very well coordinated and very well danced. There is a remix to Justify My Love near the end and  its better than the original song and the costumes she wore here are one of my favorites. It's end with Everybody, which not too bad. I give show a B+. You would be disappointed from beginning to end!! I highly recommend it!!

UPDATE 9/14/2013 CHANED FROM 5 TO 1 STAR DUE TO DEFECTIVE PRODUCT - STILL A GREAT SHOW THOUGH :/ UPDATE 09/11/2013  It's a shame that the quality of the blu-ray encoding is not that great.  Unfortunately, I am returning it and ordering the DVD version.  I was fortunate enough to see this concert live from the "Golden Triangle"!  I have seen this concert on EPIX and it amazingly translates to video brilliantly!  My favorites are "Girl Gone Wild", "Revolver", "Vogue" "I'm Addicted" "Like A Prayer" "Express Yourself" and "Celebration"!  Madonna puts on a concert like no other!  Enjoy!

One of Madonna's best albums. Almost every song on the album is great. I once had my reservations and doubts about her collaborations with Timbaland and Pharrell, but I was pleasantly surprised. Confessions was an excellent CD and hard to follow up. However, Madonna did it again!! Long live the Queen!

For me, this is Madonna's best album in probably a decade. The synths are fresh, the tracks are amazingly produced and once again, she's rebranded herself and her image into something that speaks to the core of the human experience: the desire for love and for freedom, whatever that may mean to Madonna's audience. I know what it means to me at this time in my life and as a result, I bought tickets to go see her RebelHeart concert in Portland in October. Get the deluxe edition. So worth it. So fun.

My family and I saw this tour in San Jose, Ca, and it was, and still is, a magical evening  in our lives.  On the way into the pavillion Paul rolled down his window, popped out, and gave a peace sign.  For brief moment in time we made eye contact with this most famous and recognizable person and it was a perfect lift off for the rest of the evening.  I agree with others regarding this DVD issue, it would be nice to have just concert footage here but you know, after playing these concert films a few times you tend to scene jump anyway, so it really doesn't make a difference. You can watch your favorte song over and over...Jenny Wren! McCartney delivers, price of the DVD is reasonable, less than a concert ticket, front row, too.

I was floored with this concert. I sat in awe as I watched and listened in surround sound. If you haven't seen it, you are missing one of the best concerts ever. It is an unbelieveably huge production. It was so good I bought the CD as well.

This program was recorded October 1, 1992 and became the stamp of approval solidifying the legendary status of the King of Pop. Michael Jackson's "Live in Bucharest" is a triumph. Watching this presentation literally pulls you into the screen. The stirring power of this personality oozes throughout the concert. One of the most memorable parts of the concert showcases Siedah Garrett (background singer and writer of "Man In The Mirror") sharing the stage with him on "I Just Can't Stop Loving You." This duet, as passionate as it was, transitions into "She's Out Of My Life." He calls a female audience member on stage and she's in awe of this mere mortal on stage to the point where she had to be carried off the stage by the event security. WOW! This stage technique has often been duplicated by the likes of Bobby Brown, Usher, Justin Timberlake and many artists after MJ blazed the trail for other known performers. Overall, The Dangerous Tour is Michael's finest performance since the Bad World Tour in 1987. The sound quality could have been better, but nothing can diminish the precision & timing of the dancers, the quality professionalism of the band and singers spearheaded by Greg Phillinganes & Brad Buxer on keys and the rhythms of the great Ricky Lawson. As a footnote, this was a pioneering concert in which the producers utilized on stage ProTools editing with added vocal & musical programming, a proponent that is widely used today in various live shows and stage presentations. (All hail Bruce Swedien!) I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this energetic masterpiece. Rest In Peace, MJJ! You were a supernova! A true gift and an icon to this society! "GONE TOO SOON."

Christina's Back to Basics tour is quite a splendour to watch, it is clear that she has matured in many ways than one. What I love about this young talented woman is that she took the reigns of her career into her own control, others like Britney, although very successful, had their careers controlled from the word go (only now is she having more creative freedom) no wonder she had a break down. Christina however had it with doing what others expected her to do and only after her first album broke away with "Stripped" it shocked us a little but her talent shone through and she never turned back. This extended to her project "Back to Basics" her most mature work. This DVD is spectacular amazing costumes, incredible (and I mean amazing choreography and dancers) and the cherry on the cake, Christina's mind-blowing vocals, man can she let it rip. A Jamie King production, so you know its good, I mean look at Jamie's work with Madonna's "Reinvention, Confessions and Sticky and Sweet tours as well as Ricky Martins "Black and White tour" masterpieces to say the least. I absolutely enjoyed the "Welcome to the Circus" section, a visual masterpiece.

The only reason why I did not give this DVD 5 stars is that I felt too many of her classic hits were redone (different versions) e.g Come on over, What a girl wants, the only track that was original was the closing track "Fighter", I love to hear my favourite songs the way they are, although stars like Madonna have done a good job of reinventing past songs, e.g Erotica (Confessions Tour). Apart from that Christina rocks again, oh and did I mention that this woman can sing?

This is simply one of the best live performances by any artist. For those of you who are younger and know only the latter Michael Jackson you owe it to yourself to see this concert and then you can understand why he was such a gifted and unmatched live performer. The "Smooth Criminal" number is priceless and most of the other songs are unforgettable.
