Summary: The best Corrs dvd ever.
Review: I watch the Corrs live in Manila concert here in the philippines and I was pretty excited when I bought this dvd,in here you can find all the latest songs perform live in a concert bec unlike before you can only find those new songs in MTV video. I especially like when they perform the song "give me a reason","breathless","dreams","radio" and so much more,a must have for all those fans of the corrs.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Weakest of the Corrs videos
Review: If you're here shopping for a Corrs concert DVD, then you are already a fan and are probably trying to decide which one to get. My recommendation would be Lansdowne Road as first choice, followed by Albert Hall, and this one (London) last. All three DVD's have different advantages and disadvantages. This one is the newest, so it has more features than the others and it has some of their newer material. BUT, the videography makes for a frustrating watching experience. A big part of the beauty of the Corrs is that their music and their skill stand on their own. The "fancy" camera work that the London dvd is very heavy on seriously detracts from the enjoyable experience of watching this concert. Lets face it, you don't know or care who produced these dvds and what their video "style" is...you buy them to see and hear the Corrs. If I wanted a music video, I'd be watching MTV. So why, every three minutes or so, do they have to turn black and white? Do closeups of Andrea's nostrils contribute to my enjoyment of the group? This concert is shot in a bizarre style. Lots of very tight closeups (partial faces), frequent cuts, frequent cuts to slow motion and/or black and white, and odd camera angles. Again, all of this is just distracting. If you must have Breathless and the In Blue hits, or want to collect all the Corrs concerts, then this is worthwhile. But both Albert Hall and Lansdowne are more enjoyable concerts to watch. I have a review posted of Lansdowne (far and away the best) if you want my two cents on it. Albert Hall is also a nice DVD, with a more intimate setting, excellent audio, Mick Fleetwood and more traditional video technique. But the London DVD is just too distracting.

Summary: Highly Talented Siblings!
Review: It's a shame we don't see more of this group here in the states - America doesn't know what it's missing! This phenomenally talented Irish pop group is simply amazing. I highly recommend their unique blend of traditional and pop sounds. Not to mention, the three sisters are beautiful to boot! I saw this group on Good Morning America and fell in love with them. I now own just about all of their CDs and live performances on DVD. This video is a must!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The always fabulous Corrs deliver a great show. Period.
Review: Maybe I'm biased because I've been a hardcore(pardon the pun) and dedicated fan of the band for years, but this DVD rocks! It's the fabulous Irish band live from Wembley stadium in London on their tour for In Blue. It includes a lot of favorite from the band, i.e. Runaway and So Young, and also many others. It's a great DVD with lots of fun moment and cool extras! A MUST HAVE FOR ANY CORRS FAN OR COLLECTOR(like myself).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Now I'm a believer!
Review: My thirty-something son, twenty-five years my junior, told me about a group called The Corrs several years ago. Since his musical taste and mine have never been too similar, I shortly forgot the group's name, and didn't listen to their music. That was until about a month ago, when I happened to buy The Corrs - Live in London, along with five other concert DVD's to view in our new home theatre. Wow! Now I'm a believer and after viewing this DVD for the first time, immediately called my son to apologize for doubting his recommendation.

The video, on a large screen front projection basis doesn't seem to be as good as a movie DVD, but does an excellent job of conveying the energy of this group. The sound, on the otherhand, is absolutely spectacular, particularly when listened to on the DTS tracks. The reason is that DTS, unlike Dolby Digital, doesn't use a compression process, which can definitely degrade the subtleties of music like this. Regardless, the sheer magnitude of this group's musical talent is almost more than I can stand. They sing beautifully, each play a variety of instruments and have arranged a wonderful group of musical performances that truly blow you away!

I absolutely love the Irish influence evident in the music, and everything about the arrangements themselves. Anyone that can listen to this music, at a reasonably similar sound level as the original performance would provide, and not start moving their feet or body, isn't alive. Don't miss the opportunity to own this magnificent music DVD.

Did I say they are three of the most beautiful women (sisters) I've ever seen perform together, plus of course, Jim (their brother)? And Caroline has to be one of the best drummers I have ever seen! The final result...you're in for a real treat.

Summary: The Corrs Live In London
Review: Not any where near as good as Live at Albert Hall. The video format was weak as were the vocals.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Corrs: Live in London Review
Review: Not to much to say about this DVD. If you are a fan then buy it. The DTS track is nice to finally have on a Corrs DVD. Video quality is great and there is really nothing else you could ask for, except maybe more DVD's available for us here in the States.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So far, the best live concert DVD of The Corrs
Review: Superb digital sound and picture quality. Packed with DVD features, maximizing the capabilities of dvd such as multiple viewing angles (focusing on your choice of The Corrs member), sound setup, interview and more. Includes famous John Lennon's song-"Happy Xmas/War Is Over" by The Corrs.
So far, the best live concert DVD of The Corrs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful...
Review: that sums up this concert DVD nicely and I can not recommend it highly enough:
Beautiful music.
Beautiful pictures.
Beautiful people.
Beautiful sound quality.

This London concert was shot in digital video shot and is presented in anamorphic widescreen. And it's appropriate because it's hard to imagine 3 more beautiful subjects for the camera than Andrea, Sharon, and Caroline Corr (I suppose the ladies might say the same about Jim).

Miles above the trashy norm of flesh, profanity and sleaze in popular music today, the Corrs sing a siren's song that is incredibly seductive, genuine, and entertaining that everyone can enjoy young or old. That alone represents stellar talent.

It might be tempting to pass the Corrs off as just another girl band. But you would be missing some very talented and polished musicians and songwriters bar none. Each Corr wears at least 2 hats (sometimes 3) during a tune and keep a guest bassist and lead guitarist busy as well.

Before I purchased this DVD I liked and was familiar with their songs. I purchased this DVD mainly because it is one of the few anamorphic widescreen concert videos. But after buying it I can say that I'm a huge fan.

Who should buy this DVD:
1. Any casual Corrs fan.
2. Any rabid Corrs fan.
3. Any videophile needing a reference DVD for sound and picture (it's that good) (at least the dolby, I have not tried the DTS).
4. Any fan of popular music.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: SAVE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE.
Review: The ladies are lovely, the lyrics are sensational, but the sound track is horrible. Like listening with two paper cups over your ears.

The levels are all wrong. The sound engineers need to remix. Maybe you can tweek your sound system and get better performance. I couldn't.

Save your money on this one and go buy their Live at the Royal Albert Hall DVD or Blue CD, both are quality productions.

My apologies to Jim, Sharon, Caroline, and little Andrea.
