Robbie Williams - Live At The Albert [2001]

starring: Robbie Williams, Rupert Everett, Jon Lovitz, Jane Horrocks, Guy Chambers
directed by: Hamish Hamilton

Release Date December 03, 2001

Robbie came from a boy band to become an international star, not as good as Michael Bubble, But the little note on Robbie's latest album Swing When You Are Winning, told me that it is certainly something to look forward to. Little did I know Robbie is so capable to touch someone with his voice. It surprised me and I couldn't help thinking, Robbie is on the road to super stardom!!

Congratulations to a wonderful concert indeed! I gave it a 4 because the disc is somewhat short on features, otherwise I'd have given it a five. I wish, really wish there'll be a DVD of all of Robbie's videos, as I am dying to see more of him.

No, I wasn't a big fan to start with. But let's forget about that, nevermind the tabloid, ... Read More:

The Rolling Stones - The Biggest Bang [2007]

starring: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ron Wood
directed by: Hamish Hamilton

Release Date July 30, 2007
I love these boys and whilst they are strictly speaking no longer relevant in the 21st centuty, they do put on the best live shows that you will ever see.

Biggest Bang falls just short of the 5 star Four Flicks but in its own way it enables you to relive memorable gigs that you have been to.

If you've never seen the Stones then buy this DVD as an introduction to their stage craft and solid on-stge performance.

If you have seen the boys then this is the change to recapture that night at a venue somewhere in the world.

As the boys sang "It's Only Rock n Roll" and boy do we like it.

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells II / Tubular Bells III - Live [1999]

starring: John Gordon Sinclair, Mike Oldfield
directed by: Mike Oldfield, Hamish Hamilton

Release Date September 20, 1999
I bought TB2 Live on video when it came out, and the sound quality in HiFi Stereo was very good, and the live version is a lot better than the original studio version, which for some reason, sound dull in parts. Upon seeing the release onto DVD along with TB3 thrown in, I thought what a bargain. Because both of these concerts could of been released on 2 seperate DVD's and generated a lot more money from the fans. And I was even more impressed when I picked up the DVD in HMV and read that the recording was in Dolby Digital 5.1. I rushed home stuck it on, expecting something fantastic. But I soon learned the 5.1 soundtrack was as extinct as the dodo bird. The only bit of 5.1 throughout the entire 2 concerts, is right at the end of TB3, well at least it comes ... Read More:

U2 - Elevation 2001 - Live In Boston

starring: Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr., U2
directed by: Hamish Hamilton

Release Date November 26, 2001
Is this really necessary, I won't talk about how bad this DVD is.
All I can say is that REAL U2 fans like me would'nt half mind seeing POPmart released on DVD rather than the exctinct VHS.

Madonna - Drowned World Tour Live [2001]

starring: Madonna, Niki Harris, Donna DeLory, Mike McKnight, Stuart Price
directed by: Carol Dodds, Dago Gonzales, Hamish Hamilton

Release Date November 19, 2001
The Drowned World Tour of 2001 was awaited by all as we heald of breath to see what the new millenium and motherhood had done to Her Majesty The Queen of POp, Madonna.
What resulted was the Drowned World Tour, a stunning array of song, colour, light, and performance beginning in the repressed punk era of the world of sorrow and Travelling down the road to Japanniese culture, country roadshows,and ending with a Holiday.
Tes Madonna didnt disappiont. Her arrival onstage was nothing short of electrifying and must go down as a true piece of musical stagecraft. The whole show right from the costumes to teh singing was fantastical as Madonna embraces her fanbase once more. Yes, her connection with the fans evokes a mind blowing response for the viewer and those ... Read More:

Westlife - Where Dreams Come True [2001]

starring: Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan, Brian McFadden
directed by: Hamish Hamilton

Release Date November 19, 2001
Westlife are fantastic live. Opening with 'dreams come true' they promise 'from all of us to all of you they do, dreams come true'

from start to finish the show is captivating all the hits from their coast to coast as well as their 'Westlife' album. Uptown girl is great and the stage set for the song is wonderful. 'More than words' is a spine tingling, hair standing on the back of your neck ballad. and the finale is truly wonderful. 'I lay my love on you' followed by a heart stopping performance of 'flying without wings' as the boys are winched up and over the audience.

Truly wonderful and captivating, showing why the boys came to be at the very top of their game.

Rammstein - Live Aus Berlin [1999]

starring: Till Lindemann, Christoph Schneider, Paul Landers, Flake Lorenz, Oliver Riedel
directed by: Hamish Hamilton

Release Date February 03, 2003
It looks very scary at first going by the weird costumes but let it kick in. The music thunders along and you get a great visual show as they cant stop using those pyrotechnics and they go crazy. its one and a half hours of crunch that current rammstein fans will love. Anyone whos not heard of em, do check out samples first as german industrial metal may not be for everyone

The Corrs - Live In London [2000]

starring: Andrea Corr, Caroline Corr, Sharon Corr, Jim Corr, Anthony Drennan
directed by: Hamish Hamilton

Release Date November 05, 2001
This is a great concert DVD. The concert is in 16:9 anamorphic widescreen, and some of the extras (like short documentaries) are in 4:3. You even get a selection of different camera angles for some songs in the concert (though on one DVD player the bit where the alternate angles were available displayed a big graphic across the whole screen - but that's the player's fault not the DVD's. It was better on a Blu-ray player but not all of them have a button labelled "angle" to change the angle while the concert is still playing - so on some players you need to press Info first then scroll down to change it).

Picture Quality: Good picture considering it's an SD DVD and an older DVD (so probably didn't use HD/digital cameras), and it's probably a bit softer than more recent titles. ... Read More:
