Summary: LODVG - in concert
Review: As a major fan of LODVG, living far from Spain and their concerts, I was really excited when I noticed on their Website that there was a DVD containing video of their 2003 concert tour. It was a while before I was able to find it for sale, however. I happened onto it in an Oklahoma City bookstore (before I found it here at Amazon - sorry about that, Amazon!).

As for the DVD, it turned out to be a DVD and a CD. The CD contains the audio-only portion of the concert that is presented on the DVD. I guess the idea is that you can take the CD and play it in a car or personal stereo or something. The audio quality is quite good, and the live performance is a nice alternative to the already-good studio recordings. The video quality is okay, with the occasional pixelization of the scene during fast pans and scene changes.

Contents of the DVD include the 70-minute concert itself (no idea where it was), presented as a single entity (but in selectable chapters, of course) and with various camera angles (if you're into that sort of thing). The songs in the concert are: Intro, Puedes Contar Conmigo, Deseos de Cosas Imposibles, Un Mundo Mejor, Cuéntame al Oído, Soledad, Vestido Azul, La Esperanza Debida, Geografía, El 28, Adiós, Pop, Cuídate, Rosas, París, La Playa, 20 de Enero, and Bonustrack. There are also video clips. Like their previous DVD ("La Oreja de Van Gogh"), there are videos of: Cuídate, París, La Playa, Pop, and Mariposa. Video quality of these clips is a little better on the older DVD. One or two of the videos on this DVD are clipped a bit early at the end, too, losing a couple of seconds of the videos. The newer videos, for Puedes Contar Conmigo, 20 de Enero, and Rosas, appear on this DVD. The video quality isn't much better than the presentations on LODVG's Website, though, but you don't have to worry about "buffering" problems on the DVD!

There are also interviews, documentary-type stuff, photos, - and subtitles in English and French (although I haven't tried them yet). One odd thing is that the DVD and CD come in a double-CD-style case.

I almost gave this 4 stars, due to the mediocre video quality and a couple of annoyances in the usability of the DVD, but went with 5 because the disc set makes up for it in what matters - content and audio quality.

I wish I could do this review in Spanish, but I would wreck the grammar. Suffice it to say, "compra los discos - ¡la música es mejor que nunca!"

Summary: Excellent concert, almost perfect DVD/CD edition
Review: I'm not a fan of LODVG, and just bought this edition for a gift. The very first good surprise is that this is a bundle that contains a CD with the concert audio tracks in the exact sequence as the DVD. The DVD itself has loads of extras in the form of photos, discography, video-clips and interviews with band members. The only drawbacks to mention could be a fair video quality noticeable during some passages, perhaps some abuse of camera/lighting effects and the interactive menus which are somewhat ugly. But besides that, this is an almost perfect bundle LODVG fans will certainly enjoy.

Summary: Excellent Buy
Review: If you are a fan of this group you will absolutely love this CD/DVD combo. It is their entire concert on both a cd and a dvd. You can hear all of their greatest hits from the first 3 albums all together in one package. The voice is absolutely clear and sounds like it was recorded in the studio even though she is singing live. And the DVD is great with lots of bonus footage like making of the album and the concepts behind it. Also it has some videos which are available on their other dvd and others that are not like "Puedes Contar Con Migo", "20 De Enero" and "Rosas" Get this NOW.....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: La Oreja de Van Gogh es buenísimo!!!!
Review: This album contains a concert CD and a DVD. The DVD also includes music videos, interview, photos and of course concert. It is worth to buy and you can find that Amaia sings really well. There is no difference between CD version and live version!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get this if your a fan
Review: This DVD has been out for a while in Spain and I was almost about to buy it from overseas then i ran into it here and it just came out with the NTSC version! even better. Whether you hate them for being way to poppish/mainstream or love them ( personally i think the best cd is still dile al sol ) you cant deny their success. They sound really good live, i saw them 3 weeks ago in los angeles, and amaia is absolutely amazing. They put a lot of energy, noise, and distortion in their live show that made their regular pop/mainstream songs rock and the whole expirience was just a blast.

Summary: LODVG - Gira 2003
Review: Todo el concierto y el DVD en general es genial!!! El concierto, los videos, las fotos, los documentales, todooooooo es muy bueno. Se los recomiendo, yo no era un mayor fan de LODVG, y cuando escuché su 3º disco, me encantaron y ahora tengo el CD y el DVD. Además, el CD que trae el DVD trae el mismo concierto del DVD!. Es muy, pero muy recomnedable para toda la gente, y la selección de temas para el concierto es espectacular; yo vivo en sudamérica, muy, pero muy lejos de España, y cuando vinieron, hace 1 mes aprox., fui a su concierto y fue fabuloso! El DVD es muy, pero muy bueno!
