Celtic Woman, the PBS sensation, returns for 2007 in A New Journey: Live at Slane Castle, Ireland. Most of the elements return as well: vocalists Chloe, Meav, Lisa, and Orla; fiery fiddler Mairead; music director David Downes; chorus and orchestra; and the New Age-y Celtic and traditional music. New for this show is New Zealand vocalist Hayley Westenra, a picturesque outdoor location, and an almost entirely new song list. Chloe sings "The Prayer" (made famous by Josh Groban) and "Panis Angelicus"; Lisa covers "Caledonia," "The Blessing," and "The Voice"; Orla sings "Newgrange" and accompanies herself on harp for "Carrickfergus"; Meav sings "Dulaman"; Mairead plays "Granuaile's Dance" and "Shenandoah: The Pacific Slope"; and Hayley sings "Scarborough Fair" by herself and duets with Mairead (Handel's "Lascia Ch'io Pianga") and Meav ("The Last Rose of Summer"). Then of course the group performs together ("The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun," "Over the Rainbow," "Beyond the Sea," "At the Ceili," "Sing Out!", "Spanish Lady," "Mo Ghile Mear"). Encore performances from the original show are Enya's "Orinoco Flow," "Danny Boy," "Somewhere," and "You Raise Me Up." Hayley proves to be an excellent fit among the beautiful voices, and Lisa seems to emerge as the talent most deserving of attention, but overall the show lacks some of the fresh sparkle of the original. The song list isn't quite as strong, and some of the "primp and pose" choreography is just silly. But Celtic Woman is never less than charming, and at its best can be quite stirring. --David Horiuchi

A delightful "celtic inspired" program........2007-07-09

My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed this DVD. The ladies in Celtic Woman are energetic and talented. The songs were lovely and the production excellent. We recently saw them in person in Portsmouth, Virginia, and that compounded our enjoyment. Seeing them in person was every bit as memorable as the DVD. 5-star entertainment.

Awe Inspiring.......2007-07-05

These ladies are absolutely amazing. What angelic voices! Truly gifts from God himself! Let us not forget the violinist. She is one with her instrument and comes very close to stealing the show! Well, worth the money. Bravo!

Just marvelous.......2007-06-27

I did not know anything about Celtic Woman before I bought this product. I have a lot of concert DVD's, but this turned out to become one of my top favorites. I don't know how many times I have watced it, it is just marvelous. I have showed it to many of my friends, who also has been taken away by the beautiful music, fantastic setting and outstanding performers!!

Tron Syversen, Norway

I'm sorry but............2007-06-13

This DVD (not so much the CD) really is a bit over the edge....The Stepford Wives Do Celtic Music???...the guy pounding away wildly on the drums...the 3,000 extra singers...the constant awkward fashion show runway walk down the stage....the costume changes..the castle....waaaaaaaaaay over the top for my tastes...and the inappropriate CONSTANT switches to the audience reaction...this entire production was monsterous....I know that I will be the ONLY person who makes any of these points and that PBS stations from L.A. to the Suez Canal will broadacast this thing forever in membership drives... but this DVD is just not crafted to these wonderful singers....I just couldn't believe it.

I have every CD any of these women have done individually and I would highly recommend those CD's along with the original DVD and all the Celtic Woman CD's....but this DVD is so bad.

This is CELTIC music which relies more on simplicity and beauty...it was like sitting in a dentist chair WATCHING the tremendously talented Haley Westenra suddenly be thrown into this group as if she needed to do this to advance her own career....it was shocking if you have followed Haley's career over the last few years to see her as part of this overblown mess..I think this was a step backwards for her. She seemed out of place.

The gal jumping around with the fiddle like some sort of adult elf was just about the "my god, what next?" limit for me...until they focused on the wild bore Caliban guy trying to break his drums...banging away like he was smashing huge boulders.....

Looks like a bunch of Wall Street people got a hold of good thing (as they did with the Olympics and soon with NASCAR) and then said if a little is good..than an avalanche of it is better...no matter if it descends into bad taste...

The "good thing" here are gorgeous women who can sing very well.....that should have been enough on its own merits but instead what we get here on this DVD is every cliche known to man.

Cringe...and then cringe some more...

Sure it will sell but I hope the next time around all those handlers understand the words subtle and nuance. This DVD is like watching a war documentary. Again..the music on the CD is OK..but this DVD uber production is just so overblown that it leaves you dazed and beaten up...how they could have managed to do that with Celtic music is nearly criminal.

one of the best videos to watch while not in the sober state of mind..or on any drug, its amazing

visually intoxicating.......2007-06-16

This is the best way to experience the RHCP. They started out as
performance artists and do their best work in front of a live audience. Their live cd is also a must have. The quality of the photography makes it all the more better to watch these beautiful performers do their thing. From Anthony's tireless dancing vocals to John's sexy guitar strumming, your eyes get a feast. Chad never falters as his engine keeps the team moving along so Flea can be the zany bass player he is. Don't miss this masterpiece.

Not a "review" - A thumbs up rather.......2007-06-09

After several less than satisfactory transactions with ebay paypal et al, I decided to deal with a company that has class. RHCP's 'Live at Slane Castle' version of Californication with the imcomparable intro between J.F. & Flea
drew me into buying the DVD. Glad I did. Amazon made it easy and affordable to also score Stadium Arcadium
with same order. Prompt delivery and considering what it would have cost locally, I saved BIG.
So not a review - just a seldom used thanx of appreciation that was not solicited in any way.

RHCP rock!.......2007-03-16

I was looking for a DVD of RHCP in concert and took a chance with this one. Fantastic choice! The sound is great, the music wonderful, and the cinematology fantastic! This is a must have for any fan, fanatic,or the curious. I wish there were more DVD's of this quality out there of RHCP!

If you thought Bryan Adams was just another pop star, this impressive performance will prove a revelation. Before an appreciative crowd of 56,000 fans in the natural amphitheater near Slane Castle in Ireland, Adams and his bandmates (drummer Mickey Curry and guitarist Keith Scott) provide a hard-driving set of Adams's best-known songs, working wonders with their muscular three-piece arrangements. While providing a solid bass foundation, Adams is an amiable host in top form, moving quickly and confidently from rockers like "It's Only Love" to the chart-topping ballad "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You," and the crowd proves its devotion with a massive sing-along. Former Spice Girl Mel C. appears--along with a lucky girl from the audience--for a lively rendition of "When You're Gone," and the entire concert is faithfully reproduced in crystal-clear 5.1-channel audio. It's a rockin' good show, and the backstage footage and interviews are a welcome bonus. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews:

Not as bad..........2005-12-24

While reading some of the other reviews for this concert you might get the feeling that this concert isn't so hot. The Japanese show may be better (can't say as I have not yet seen it) however that is beside the point as we're reviewing this show not that one.

The audio is quite good... not perfect but certainly not a disgrace. The video can be rather grainy at times especially in the low light shots but it isn't bad enough to take away from the overall concert experience.

Yes, Bryan pulls a fan on stage to sing Since You're Gone with Mel C... and yes, the girl has the singing ability of a tone deaf squid but thankfully you hear only a few lines before her mic magically dies. ;-)

One track on this DVD/concert that really caught me off guard is the techno styled "Don't Give Up". This is pretty cool coming from BA as it isn't exactly his genre. He and Keith do a nice job mixing electric guitars into a techno beat and the crowd really seems to enjoy it. A cool and unexpected track!

Overall I think this is a very good concert. The songs are well performed, the setting is great, the crowd is into the show, and the disc has a few nice bonus features.

NOT nearly as great as...BRYAN...Live at the BUDOKAN : 2000.......2005-06-01

The live DVD...BRYAN ADAMS-Live at the BUDOKAN : 2000...is MUCH better than the live DVD...Live at SLANE CASTLE.

Recorded by NHK...[JAPAN NATIONAL T.V]...the sound recording and production is second to none...The Japanese are great at music sound recording...And they are great with 5.1 sound.

SLANE CASTLE...only gives you 20 songs with 2 of the best songs in the bonus tracks for some reason?

INTO THE FIRE...and...HAVE YOU EVER LOVE A WOMAN...are part of the main set on...the live DVD...BRYAN ADAMS-Live at the THE BUDOKAN : 2000.

You also get in the main set the classic...BRYAN ADAMS'...song...REMEMBER.

Live at the BUDOKAN : 2000...has 26 songs and if you get the * 1 live DVD + 1 live CD edition * you also get a 15 track BONUS live CD , from the same show!

SLANE CASTLE...does not offer that.

In BOTH DVDS....a girl comes on stage to sing a song.

SLANE CASTLE...doesn't have that " I was there " feel and the sound is not as good as the...BUDOKAN : 2000...live DVD.

The BUDOKAN...live DVD...has GREAT 5.1 sound.

BRYAN''s...singing is also MUCH better on the...Live at the BUDOKAN : 2000...live DVD.

KEITH's...great GUITAR playing...is much more obvious on the...BUDOKAN : 2000...DVD...The sound is just incredible.

So you don't miss the KEYBOARDS , at all.

So , do yourself a favour and please read for yourself the major differences between...SLANE CASTLE...and the DVD...Live at the BUDOKAN : 2000...and see for yourself that it has allot more to offer than...SLANE CASTLE.

You will be happy that you did...I own both DVDS and I chose the BUDOKAN : 2000...live DVD hands down!

Best BA I have ever heard.......2004-02-02

BA is in the best voice that I have ever heard from him. I am an old fan - I have heard everything from BA - and most of the songs in this concert were better than his recorded/radio versions. His voice seems to have gotten better with age. (No, really!) It was unusual to have the concert done with only a three-piece band, but I enjoyed it...but it would have been better with another guitar to fill out the sound. The editing was excellent, blending shots from many different cameras and angles in order to keep the DVD moving.

The extras are good - but the band interview could have been much better and in depth. I especially liked the photo gallery included as an extra on this DVD. Overall, an excellent buy and a must for any BA enthusiast.

Bryan Adams is the best Canadian performer EVER!.......2003-11-19

I went to the Bryan Adams concert in Edmonton, Alberta Canada on Thursday November 13th 2003. It was amazing! Bryan is the best Canadian performer EVER! This DVD is excellent, I have had it for over a year and watch it at least once a month. The "live" aspect is so much better than watching a series of music videos.. you really see him for who he is. I would recommend this DVD to anyone!
