Summary: One of the Greatest Voices in Rock Music
Review: A must for any true fan of music. One of the greatest singers in rock and roll. George Harrison knew it! Belinda stands the test of time. Up there with the singers of the past,present,and future,like Lesley Gore for example. Experience the voice.

Summary: So So !
Review: Although this DVD contains a collection of Belinda's greatest songs, but the performance of she and the band is so so and not outstanding. The quality of picture is not very clear, either. But this is the only DVD collection you can buy now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Star Quality!
Review: An excellent live performance from the woman with the most distinctive voice I've ever heard. Belinda may not be a perfect singer (like Celine Dion) but her singing is pure, emotional and expressive. As for the band? You could do better guys!

Summary: An Angel on earth, only in 2-channal sound :-(
Review: Convincing eyes...my heart is tangled up...I shake inside...I Get Weak everytime I see her! Belinda is still a perfect woman, looking good in her black and shiny dress (the white one is not...). But, unfortunately, she has not her beautiful long red hair, only a short cut :-( But she's an angel, with the corresponding voice.

The disc I have ... has no region coding and no extras. Only a bit textual information about her solo career. I am missing extras like VH1 Behind the Scenes and video clips. It cost nothing! No picture gallery and no alternative angles. The sound is very good for a 2-channel recording. There is no PCM stereo and no multi-channel sound as well :-( The only you have is a Dolby Digital 2.0 without any low-frequency effects. There is almost no bass drum to hear. It would be great to have the same in dts quality...or even non-compressed PCM sound. You've got nothing you wouldn't get on a VHS tape. The picture quality is moderate in 4:3 format.

The 80 min. concert is great. She is dominating with hear lead voice and the background vocal is also excellent. All musicans deliver superb musical performance.

Ovarall? A must-have disc for all fans, excellent concert, beautiful Belinda but very few extras. So go and spend an evening with Belinda in your own room...yes, I have daydreams sometimes :-)

Summary: I want Belinda Carlisle's Video Collection DVD!
Review: Hola Amigos;
Belinda Carlisle is for me the most beautiful girl and pop icon from the 80's specially since she started her solo carrer.
Here in Peru (South America) she was already very popular and well known since "The Go Go's".
Later on with her smashing hits "Heaven is a Place on Earth" and "Mad About You" --as a matter of fact-- they're still current tracks in different FM radio stations even now here in Lima!
I really hope that they were planning to launch her Video Collection on DVD very soon and with all the special features that a diva like Belinda deserves!
I just watched "Heaven is a place on earth" on "MTV Classics" (MTV Latin America) and it brought me nice memories of those years, it hasn't age anything.....I so want this DVD collection!
Belinda Carlisle is a fine lady and I really want to own this piece of collection pretty soon!.
I want her to know that she has here in Peru a big fan and that many people will definetelly would purchase her Video Collection on DVD in Latin America!

Summary: Nothing great, but worthwile nevertheless!
Review: I got my DVD copy of this at the same time I got Sarah Mc Lachlan's "Mirrorball", so my review may be somewhat biased in favor of the latter (which I believe is superior in both sound quality and overall "investment worthiness").

Don't get me wrong; I'm a diehard Carlisle fan and have been collecting her LP's/CD's (solo + Go-Go's) for years. I'm just somewhat disappointed with certain renditions in "Runaway Live". "Mad About You", for instance; Belinda was virtually drowned out by offkey-sounding second voices. Also a terrible-looking white-colored pant-suit outfit at the start ( later redeemed, however, when she changed into a dark, lacy dress and bare feet a la Mc Lachlan!).

Having said this, the DVD does have its high points. I especially liked her live performance of "Summer Rain", "I Get Weak", "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" and "World Without You". Despite these songs being personal favorites, I think that the blending of both Carlisle's distinctly raspy voice and that of her back-ups, along with strings, was perfect in these cuts. This plus the fact that it's the only available Belinda Carlisle DVD to date makes "Runaway Live" a worthwile investment for both fans of Belinda and retro/pop/new-wavers alike. Hence the four-star rating.

This disc's songs are as follows:1. Runaway Horses; 2. Summer Rain; 3. The Same Thing; 4. Whatever It Takes; 5. Mad About You; 6. Circle In The Sand; 7. Nobody Owns Me; 8. I Get Weak; 9. Valentine; 10. La Luna; 11. Vision Of You; 12. Leave A Light On; 13. Heaven Is A Place On Earth; 14. Our Lips Are Sealed; 15. We Got The Beat; 16. World Without You; 17. Shades Of Michaelangelo.

I wish they eventually come out with a music video collection (Belinda + Weidlin + Go-Go's perhaps).

Summary: BELINDA IS IN TOP FORM!
Review: I just bought this DVD last weekend, and I love it. Filmed on her 'Runaway Horses'tour in 1990, she is in top form on this concert. 17 songs, that are non-stop fun. All of the hits from her early solo days are here: 'Mad About You', 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth', 'Circle In The Sand', 'I Get Weak', and 'Leave A Light On'. She performs all 10 songs off of the 'Runaway Horses' album, as well as her 2 favorite GO-GO's songs: 'Our Lips Are Sealed' and 'We Got The Beat'. Her songs are a great mix of fast and slow, never missing a beat. Belinda has such a sexy, beautiful voice, and the proof is here in this concert. I got to see her with the GO-GO's last year, and that concert was equally as good.(non-stop fun, one of the greatest concerts I've ever been to) I also recommend the GO-GO's new DVD 'Live From Central Park'. If you want to watch 2 great DVD's, pick up both of these DVD's, 'Runaway Live' and 'GO-GO's Live From Central Park' and get ready to rock!

Summary: Belinda Carlise "Runaway Live"
Review: Not a lot to comment on I have just played this DVD and of course Belinda shows her talent in this performance,
The transfer is fairly good on the video side but the AUDIO is very bad in fact a shocking mix, I know this is a 13 year old recording. I have spent a lot of hard earned dollars to have gear that produces a repoduction that delivers quality audio but rubbish in rubbish out. a remaster is what this DVD needs it's a lousy audio field .I would not recommend it to any one who wants quality .cos! this doesnt deliver much at all
