Cher - Live in Concert

Summary: Excellent DVD! Cher at her best.
Review: My spouse and I were both absolutely floored when we saw this DVD for the first time! We attended the 2nd Cher concert here in Atlanta, and this DVD comes extremely close to how we remember it. Excellent picture clarity and sound. My Dolby Digital 5.1 system was having a blast, and so were we. Cher is as talented as ever, no wonder she's been around so long. Forget the VHS video. If you have a DVD player, this is a must have for any Cher fan. My only criticism (albeit tiny) was that they actually took pictures of the video display used in the concert (as if we, the viewers were actually attending) instead of patching into it and recording its signal directly. It made sense to do it that way, but sometimes you had a little difficulty seeing the images on the display, or they were slightly distorted. Otherwise, I'd had given it 5 stars. But that one little nit shouldn't detract from your enjoyment of this concert if you're a true Cher fan!

Summary: Entertaining rehash of the other "Divas"
Review: It's a pity that Cher had to turn to the other "Divas" to find a suitable performance for todays advanced audience. The show is without a doubt a spectacle but that's only because she's rehashed all the elements of past concerts from Madonna, Gloria Estefan and Janet Jackson. What we're left with is a taste of leftovers from a woman of great potential, now if only she'd put some of that to the test and injected a large amount of her own imagination instead of relying on what came before. I was entertained but sadly disappointed with the show as Cher's onstage presence is little over an hour, the rest is spent watching her dancers (who by the way are excellent) perform or watching old video clips of Cher from days gone by while she's off changing costumes. 7 costume changes in a 90 minute show does seem slightly ridiculous as she's only in some of them for one song! Saying all that, she can sing live and is a great performer and the picture quality and sound of the DVD are excellent.. but maybe next time she'll take a step towards originality instead of playing safe and stealing from the best. In the end credits it says show "conceived by Cher"...It should read, show conceived by Madonna, Gloria Estefan and Janet Jackson.

Summary: Don't buy this DVD
Review: An embarrassing recording....surely Cher did not view this prior to release? I would recommend that you not make the big mistake I made....this belongs in the trash bin.

Summary: Cher Reigns in Pop Splash Production
Review: In all her years Cher has never pulled her audio visual act together better than this. The selection of songs, supporting performers and her vital personna are all in check. Finally we have a video document of Cher at the top of her powers getting the adulation due her. The most endearing moments are Cher entering from above singing the u2 song "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for", and the mock romance of her 3 song gypsy trilogy(Dark Lady, Gypsies Tramps and Thieves,Half Breed)."All or Nothing " is choreographed like a Broadway piece. Her costumes are the usual artistic heaven(Bob Mackie).To top it off Cher is in peak vocal form despite the demands the show places on her voice( disco-rock music).Camera work is great showcasing the talented dancers and her staple back-up musicians! The songs off Believe cd are all done with force and style."Believe" winds up the show with trapeze gymnastics and optimistic joy! "Believe"! We hope Cher continues to reign beyond Believe!

Summary: CHER IS TERRIFIC!
Review: I am from Brazil, but I have lived in the USA since 1995. I have just recently discovered Cher and her talent and radical change of looks never cease to amaze me. I think this woman is terrific and her work is even greater! Hope to see many more Cher CD's and concerts in my life! I thought this concert to be awesome and I would recomend it to anyone!

Summary: Divine spirit....
Review: ...is simply floating out from your video. I have seen this CHER-show here n our phantastic Velodrom hall in Berlin - and it was imazing & brilliant. If you would like to have the impression of an concert with that superb Lady, buy this video. I have got goose-skin when I've thought about the concert experience. It s a little pitty that you can't see the whole of the stage sometimes, because in the 7oties section it was brilliant to see the tall lava lamps. But for the next time. go for the Original CHER-Concert. Here in Germany the crowd went wild from the first second on....

Summary: Cher Does it Again!
Review: I have seen Cher in concert on both the East and West Coasts, and a few places in between. This performance certainly does not and will not disappoint anyone. Despite her health problems and personal issues, she is high energy, fun and as always, entertaining! Anyone that questions what a legend or icon is, should see this video concert....you will become aware very quickly, what Cher has been up to for the past 37 years.

Summary: Cher Rocks !
Review: This is without a doubt the most amazing Cher concert ever filmed ! She goes through her fashionable closet about as much as she does her extraordinary catalogue of songs,many of which she has never performed Live in concert ! Definetly worth a buy if you didnt catch the Diva on her "Do You Believe " Tour . I saw her live and have got to say seeing this video gives the audience the feeling of being Right there at the show !
