Customer Reviews:

Great concert, poor resolution.......2007-03-09

I was torn between 4 and 5 stars. The concert itself is wonderful, but the first time I watched it, I was very disappointed in the resolution. I don't know if that was intentional, but I would like to see one of their concerts in HD.

Region 2.......2007-01-11

I bought this in October. At the time it WAS NOT LABELED region 2. No hacks are available for my DVD players so I am limited to playing this on the pc. First saw this concert on PPV on Direct TV. It is the best.

At their peak.......2006-04-09

This is the best of the many Corrs concert DVDs, which is saying something because they are ALL sensational. What sets this particular performance apart is the historic nature of this concert(the band's triumphant return home to an adoring Dublin audience following their conquering of the world after "Talk On Corners" exploded)and the sense that this is a truly special event. Highlights include the audience overwhelming the Corrs with sing-a-longs on "Runaway" and "What Can I Do" that leave Andrea speechless(or should I say "breathless", Ha-ha), top-notch versions of "No Frontiers" and "Closer(with Sharon taking a rare turn on keyboards during the latter), interesting choices like "Secret Life", and a GREAT rendition of "Love To Love You". There are many excellent extras, including a documentary about the making of "In Blue", and the video for "Breathless". Returning to the concert, rarely will you see an example of a band so in touch with its audience; the atmosphere of this show is unmatched. I have seen mentions in other reviews, incidentally, of picture or sound issues on the various Corrs DVDs, and I don't know what type of equipment these reviewers are watching and listening on, but SUPERIOR sound, editing, camerawork, etc., are the hallmark of all the Corrs DVD releases. This is the one I would purchase if you were only going to have one of them, or if you are introducing yourself(or someone else)to the Corrs. A SPECTACULAR achievement.

OUTSTANDING!.......2006-03-28

It doesn't matter if this is dated material, this is a Corrs Classic. Of all The Corrs DVDs, this is the best one. If you had to choose just one, this is THE ONE.

I don't judge concert DVDs by their video quality or fancy sound, I judge them by performance, and the performance at this concert is superb. The interaction of the group with the audience is wonderful as is the interaction between the siblings (you can actually tell this family loves each other).

This DVD is highly recommended, whether you are a hardcore fan of The Corrs or just you're here because your friend/relative is constantly telling you how great they are and you are starting to give in (resistance is futile)....

Corr's Live and lively.......2006-03-13

Even though this is dated material, the CORRS, in their prime, are a unique and entertaining band. Talented and fun-loving, they have music that "hooks you". Almost every song is sing-a-long-able, (new word I created). The special features, also, help educate their fans or fans-to-be about their style and inspiration. But, the music needs no introduction. It is deep, for pop, and danceable. Like ABBA.
There is not one song I skip over, after repeated plays. A little over-edited, the video keeps moving. The picture leaves a little to be desired. The fans are engaged by the band to become part of the experience. Fun to watch their reactions.
