Summary: What a great DVD!
Review: Hey there Eurythmics fans.
I am finally reviewing this DVD after waiting so long to buy it. The wait was worth it, cuz I didn't expect it to be this good. Time certainly flew by since the recording of the DVD in 1999.
My review title is simple, just like the show in its entirety.
The army pants, and stage designs, as well as the choice of songs they did are just outstanding.I never knew that Eurythmics Peacetour would be so good. It seemed like the idea of making a live tour of the old and new stuff would be so cliche and tired, but it was certainly a great idea to bring back Annie & Dave that way too!
From the first song to the last, plus the beautiful pics and extra stuff, owning the DVD is really nice. This is only the 3rd DVD in my collection. It makes it all the more special. There are some songs on the DVD that I haven't played in a long time, and never really took the time to think about til now.
Especially "Love is a stranger". This particular track has always been one of my favourites on the Greatest Hits CD, but never live. Annie puts so much emotion into it, as well as in all the songs, and it seems like she forgets herself in her own little world of music and melody whenever she performs like this. "Why", even being a non-Eurythmic song, is beautiful in all its accoustic glory. That purety in the song makes me appreciate it even more now. The duo has definitely not lost its touch, and it seems like they are made to do this type of thing. Wow, the background singers really put a lot into their contributions on the DVD. They can belt out a tune and make a new life for the great "Sisters are doin' it for themselves" act.
I love that song, and have just learned to love it more. To type all the tracklist would be senseless, as you all must know the list of songs by now, but let me tell you, if you liked the Peace CD, then you'll love the DVD of Peacetour. Hope my review helped you.

Summary: Concert Video far surpasses modest "Peace" album
Review: How does she do it? How exactly does Annie Lennox, a truly brilliant voaclist in all of her studio recordings, manage to regularly surpass herself in her live concert recordings? I bought Annie's Central Park concert on VHS once it became available in the US, and was blown away by the way Annie, the consummate performer, cranked up the intensity of her vocals for the crowd, and found myself wishing for the features that DVD brings: clearer picture and sound, ability to easily slide back and review nuances of performance and the ability to jump back and for the between elements. Luckily for us, the Peacetour DVD delivers, hands down. First off, the performance itself is spectacular - not just a live run-through of the Peace album, but a retrospective of all the Eurythmics hits you'd want from this "reunion" tour. But beyond the magic of the concert, this DVD truly delivers on the promise of the DVD format. In addition to the concert, the DVD includes 60-minute "behind-the-concert" documentary, which features additional performances of all of the "peace" tracks. The disk also includes comprehensive lyrics of all of the songs, as well as a hyperlinked discography, which allows the viewer to jusp directly to the performance of a song within the concert from the album track listing. Bottom line: if you even kinda like the Eurythmics, buy this DVD, and it'll make you a die-hard fan. If you know and love Annie but don't know the older Eurythmics stuff so well, fear not; this DVD brings you enough energy, excitement and great performnces to bring you up to speed. If you don't know 'em at all; you should STILL by this DVD - it's great music, performed and presented extraordinarily well.

Summary: Annie Lennox is a goddess
Review: I am a huge Annie Lennox fan; her voice is just unbeatable. I pre-ordered this DVD the second I saw it announced; I only wish they'd put Annie's "Live from Central Park" on DVD! This disc met my expectations, and then some. The menus are clean and cool, even containing a complete discography with selected music clips. The concert it's self is excellent, old and new Eurythmics tunes plus a few of Annie's own from Diva. There is also a documentary on the disc. The encoding is impecable, sharp and vibrant. It was shot on video and processed through 'film look', which usually looks very fake, but it was well done and looks natural. (A couple of the songs have 2 extra camera angles you can toggle between, and you can see that they _weren't_ processed through film look.. see if you can tell the difference!) My only problem with this DVD is that it's a dual layer disc, and there is a layer change right at the beginning of chapter 5 during the concert. If you have an unbuffered DVD player, as do I, it winds up pausing for a second just as Dave begins his guitar into. It really stinks. But I put the DVD into a Mac G4 with a DVD player, and it plays through the layer change without pause, so if you happen to run into this, no, your disc isn't defective.. your DVD player just doesn't buffer through the layer change. It makes me want to go out and buy a new DVD player just "fix" this disc :) Now like I said if we can get "Annie Lennox Live from Central Park" on DVD, and a new solo album, I'd be in heaven.

Summary: This concert was good - but 1987 concert video is better
Review: I consider myself a follower/fan of Dave Stewart & Annie Lennox in both their Eurythmics and solo career incarnations since almost the "beginning" (let's say 1981). So, having said that, let me now say that I enjoyed the "peacetour" concert. They did a great job of bringing many of their classic songs (some of which are almost 20 years old - gee, can I be getting that old? ) forward into the new millenium. So, for purposes of this review, the DVD is worth your money. But, Eurythmics fans, if you can find it, there is a concert video release of theirs from the "Revenge Tour" (Feb 14, 1987) called "Eurythmics Live." Concert shows its age a bit in the clothing and hair styles, but D.S./A.L.'s performances (as well as their band's) is better than the "peacetour" concert. If you can find it, that's the concert that is truly worth your hard-earned dollars.

Summary: Not for the half-hearted Eurythmics follower like me...
Review: I must admit that virtually as soon as I bought this DVD (out of curiousity because many other reviewers are in the "gotta see them live" camp) I wondered if I'd done the right thing; when I played it I SO much wanted to justify my purchase but alas cannot; there is energy, yes, but little variety - all musicians apart from Dave S are subordinate & the performances, to me, are formulaic; I almost cut it off after the first 6 tracks but skipped forward to "Walking on Broken Glass" & "There must be an Angel" &, thankfully found some comfort in the familiarity of these & the (few) songs which followed. Bottom line: fine for true fans but not for the half-hearted.
