Rating: Summary: The Corrs got the looks and most importantly the sound! Review: Among the best concert DVDs I own, after you watch one you should pick up the rest in this order (and you will want more!):1. Live at the Royal Albert Hall 2. Live in London 3. Live at Landsdowne Road (Region 2) The quality of the 3rd disc is not as good as the first two but still excellent. It is though one of The Corrs best performance overall (save the best for last) and the highlight is the duet with the two sisters, Caroline and Sharon Corr. The sheer size and participation of the audience is amazing too. You will be in audio nirvana with the first two DVDs if you have a high end audio system. After upgrading and tweaking my stereo system, I find that Live at the Royal Albert Hall is the best recording, also most of the songs on there are my favorites so that one is the most replayable to me. If you were to only get one disc go for Live at Landsdowne Road.
Rating: Summary: Leaves me Breathless... Review: An excellent introduction to the Corrs if for some reason you've never heard of them before now, and a real treat for die hard fans as well. DVD is packed with special features I wish all concert DVD's had - like the "angles" feature on 3 tracks that lets you focus on your favorite Corr (perfect for those of us that just can't get enough of Sharon, or those who want to check out Andrea's bare feet!!) The short documentary included on the disc is fun too and includes some snippets from various Corrs music videos that I wish to god they would put on a DVD collection for us poor USA fans that never got to see them! WHY? WHY? Why do I always get obsessed with bands that are mega-popular everywhere but here?
Rating: Summary: this dvd is Brilliant! Review: Awesome picture quality,awesome features and behind the scenes feature. excellent audio! The band looks and sounds awesome!
Rating: Summary: Hooked on The Corrs Review: Caught a couple of their songs while surfin' the cable channels and remembered their name when I came across this DVD in a Frye's store. I was totally unprepared to be so captivated and enthralled with their skills and performance. I went back to the store a week later and bought the Albert Hall DVD and the Best of the Corrs videos, but this one remains my favorite. I absolutely cannot get enough of "Radio". Some words and phrases come to mind when I think of each of the girls, with Caroline it's "Hurt me again, please", with Sharon it's "Class, Elegance, Cream", with Andrea it's "Bruised rose petals". I may have to buy a spare disk or two just to make sure that I have a viewable one for the rest of my life, which ain't all that long as I turn 63 in a couple of months. Bottom line, if you have any love of music at all and listen with any degree of passion and emotion, then you must have this disk!!!!
Rating: Summary: Andrea in a little red top Review: Enough said ? I didn't find this to be as intimate as Royal Albert Hall, playing to what appears to be a stadium sized audience and filled with DVD extras, multi angles and manipulated split screens. Nevertheless, you get over 2 hours of audio/visual fun for not a lot of money. If you're a fan, buy it.
Rating: Summary: Live in London Review: Fantastic! Music the whole family will enjoy. Highly recommend.
Rating: Summary: what an awesome concert! Review: for usa fans of the corrs this is must have material!! great behind the scenes of the band! the music and lighting are amazing and I wish they would give us american fans more options of seeing them.With luck they will put out a dvd of all their music videos so we can finally see them! Until they decide to tour america us fans will have to just view this dvd over and over.live at royal albert hall is equally as amazing to on dvd. I wish unplugged and landsdown road would be released on region 1.
Rating: Summary: Terrific Review: I could not take my eyes off this when I saw it at a friend's home a few months ago. I had never heard of this band. I immediately went out and bought it. It is terrific.
Rating: Summary: Experience the Corrs Review: I don't buy recordings of concerts. Very often, they are so staged and over-dramatized that the music is lost amongst the theatrics. This DVD, however, is proof that great concerts can be immortalized on film -- and if you want to experience a great show, the Corrs are a sure bet. Recorded at London's Wembley Arena in December 2000, this show is packed with energy, adrenaline, audience participation, and, of course, great music. On this DVD, you can experience the passion of 'Only When I Sleep' and 'Runaway', the mysticism of 'Dreams' and 'Forgiven Not Forgotten', the energy of 'No More Cry' and 'So Young', and the overall greatness of 'Breathless' and 'What Can I Do'. The Corr siblings are amazing performers, and it really shines through at this concert. They are passionate about their music, yet sing with a professional gracefulness lacking in many acts. When Andrea Corr laments about lost love, you believe her, but she doesn't need to smash guitars or take off all her clothes to get her point across. This is a show that I WOULD watch with my parents -- there is nothing hard or obscene about it. The special features are a nice bonus for those wishing for something a little extra. "Access All Areas" is a half-hour documentary behind the scenes of a day in the life of the band, from rehearsals to performace, as well as their thoughts on performing, writing, and traveling as a group. The special camera angles are a great way to view your favorite band member throughout a song -- for instance, I can watch Caroline Corr play the drums without interrupting shots of her siblings. The bonus track, 'Happy XMas (War Is Over)' is a classic holiday song played with a gentleness the John Lennon would've admired. One of my biggest regrets about living in the United States is that I have not been able to experience the Corrs live. This DVD has allowed me to "attend" a concert and feel the passion, excitement, and fun that goes into a live show -- all without leaving my living room.
Rating: Summary: Great Concert and Great Bargain Review: I first discovered the Coors 4 years ago when "Breathless" hit the US charts and I saw their video on VH1. I've always loved the Irish/Celtic genre and thought the Coor's sound was unique. I bought their "Breathless" CD and thought it was okay--perhaps a little over produced. I questioned whether the band were really good muscians. Then I bought their "Unplugged" CD--which sounds incredible and really shows how talented these siblings are. Knowing that their CD's can sound over produced at times and that I enjoy their live sound (from "Unplugged"), I had been wanting to get one of their concert DVD's. "Live in London" was worth the wait. The sound is great--the lighting awesome-the band is talented--song selection is broad and versatile. 24-25 songs is a quite a few for any concert DVD! The camera shots are well done--alternate camera angles are available on 4-5 songs. A great buy--I highly recommend it! It's unfortunate the Coors have not been more successful in the US. They certainly have more musical ability than a lot of the pop acts that have made it big in the US in recent years.
