Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
As music DVDs go, sweet dreams must surely be made of this. Quite apart from carrying a great performance (although the music production is perhaps too sanitary overall), the label appears to have gone all-out to ensure that pretty much every extra feature that the DVD format supports is represented here in the best possible way. The performance is taken from the final (London Docklands Arena) date of the 1999 tour in support of Amnesty International and Greenpeace and includes all the classics you'd expect. There are some nice multi-angle options on a couple of the songs, a self-congratulatory and patronizing interview-documentary section (but better to have it than not), a discography, a complete lyrics section, and a rather dull gallery of photographs that looks like a way of using up the PR department's leftovers. But the music's great if you're a fan and pretty damn good even if you're not. As a demonstration of how all music DVDs should be produced--i.e., stuffed to the last possible byte with all kinds of material--this release is the business. --Roger Thomas

4 out of 5 stars Eurythmics Live..I can say no more........2005-09-02

Very Good Live Concert..Excellent Picture,Excellent Sound.And the Camera Work is VG+.
Dave Stewart is getting some real nice Guitar Tone and he also plays some Sweet Slide Guitar on Missionary Man.Annie Lennox is having Fun from the Start and her Vocals Cook.She has a Great Presence on Stage and a Very Good Trio of Backup Singers.The Band Rocks with Dave and Annie.
This is a Very Good Concert to Watch and even just Listen to.They play like 21 songs here.
So if you are a Eurythmics Fan this is a Must Have DVD.If you have heard their songs but never bought any of their CD's then this is an EXCELLENT LIVE MUSIC ANTHOLOGY for you.
I can say no more.

5 out of 5 stars Still one of the greatest bands.......2005-05-29

Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart are in concert at "The Eurythmics" in a live concert called "Peacetour" in which all proceeds were donated to "Greenpeace" & "Amnesty International". Includes hit songs: Missionary Man, It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back), Who's That Girl?, I Love You Like a Ball and Chain, Would I Lie to You? Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves, Love Is a Stranger, There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart),Here Comes the Rain Again, The Miracle of Love, and of course, their Platinum, Grammy Award winning song: Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

5 out of 5 stars Living Proof That Not All Artists Are Made In A Studio.......2004-02-29

I've read other reviews posted here and what I think they have all failed to touch on is this: Live is the proof in the pudding! If you can listen to the stripped down to guitar versions of some of their most popular songs they render here like only they can, and NOT have chills listening to Annie break her heart up into pieces and vocalize it, then you are the one who placed the chill in her heart.Watch Dave look at her as she sings and pick up on when she is going to hold a note out and when she is not while backing her with nothing but a few strums of a guitar! THAT! Is the meaning of ART. Listening to the different arrangements they have come up with for some of their most popular songs is reason enough to buy this DVD.

3 out of 5 stars A few good songs.......2003-12-30

Overall, not as good as I was expecting but o.k. Relative to other concert dvd's a 3 star. Better to rent this one.

5 out of 5 stars this is what all concert DVD's should look like.......2003-10-21

This DVD is brilliant. The concert is spectacular, and surpasses even the superior level of live performance that Eurythmics fans are used too. It is well presented and the sound is incredible. The raw emotion of the band explodes out of your television.
But the DVD not only shines for the concert, the presentation is also spectacular. The menus, extras, and "peacetalk", are all amazing. The PeaceTalk, is an hour long documentary about the Peace album, Annie and Dave's history, the causes, and footage of the incredible songs on the Peace album.
This DVD is perfect, it surpasses all expectation and the whole package is just absolutely perfect.
