Summary: Nearly impossible to stay seated!
Review: An all-out blitz of excitement and energy. This concert dvd really sets a high-water mark for all other concert dvd's. Tina is as good and as sexy as ever, the raspy voice is intact and capable of hitting all the high notes; she and her talented (and sexy) band are relentlessly energetic; there seem to be cameras rovin geverywhere and the video editing is smart and musical (which is rare in concert dvds!). Downsides are overall mediocre sound in DTS and some poor sound editing (the concert was filmed over 3 days in Amsterdam but some audio tracks were cheated from other concerts). Still, these criticisms are minor as the overall impact is tremendous. I had my lawyer over for dinner - normally a fairly reserved woman - played her a few tracks and she was literally jumping up and down in front of my set going, "Tina! Tina! Tina!"

Summary: Good concert, but her voice annoys after awhile
Review: I am a big Tina Turner fan who personally thinks she sounds better on record, than live. This concert is enjoyable, but after awhile her voice is annoying because she tends to scream. Tina has a good voice, but not great, in my opinion. Her studio recordings have always sounded better probably because she can do them again and again until she gets them perfect. Concerts don't allow such luxuries.This DVD is available in a 5.1 surround sound version, or DTS version. I have the 5.1 surround DVD and it is more than adequate. I have to ask why the concert wasn't filmed in widescreen to give the viewer more of a feel for the concert. The DVD also includes a lengthy interview with Tina where she discusses each track of the then new album "Wildest Dreams". The interview, while promotional based, is very enjoyable and contains video excerpts for each album track.

Summary: The best sound in DVD!
Review: I will try to be as bried/concise as possible: "Live in Amsterdam: Wildest Dreams Tour - DTS DVD" is one of the best DVDs ever released. The sound quality and 5.1 channel mix is truly amazing. Listen to how the whole stadium sings along with Tina while performing "Simply the Best". It gives you a true feeling of a live concert. Just close your eyes and imagine yourself at the stadium...watchng this legendary performer act for you...just for you. I can't stop watching this concert over and over. If you are a true Tina fan or just like good quality music, YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS DVD! Now we are waiting for the final Tina Turner Video Music Compilation 1991-2003 exceptionally in DTS sound ! I wish there was a regulation or something forcing the DVD manufacturers produce their music DVDs in DTS sound only.

Summary: Will remind you why you bought a home-teather system
Review: Well, I didn't have any previous records from Tina, in DVD or CD. I bought this DVD due to the great reviews it had in Amazon, and since I really love sound and was told this could test my system to the limit, I bought it. This is definitely one of the best buy decisions I made. This DVD is more than music. It's an experience. From the dynamic cameras, the music, the performance (dance and sing), the public (man, it *feels* like if you were there), everything will remind you WHY you inverted a lot of money into your system and what kind of experiences you can get out of it.
The DVD is long, takes many of Tina greatest songs, performed by a 100% magnetic and inspired singer, with outstanding musicians and fantastic dancers. I always show two DVDs to people. With the first, Eagles: Hell Freezes Over DTS, people say 'This sounds really great, crystal clear'. With the second, this one, people just say 'WOW!' and start asking how much they would need to spend to buy a similar system. If you love music, specially the 5.1 experiences, this is one of those 'must-have' DVDs. Being of an indredible quality, it doesn't have the crystal clear sound of Eagles: Hell Freezes Over DTS, nor the absolute purest image quality. But it has what made many of us buy a great system: bringing a full experience into your living-room.
