5.0 out of 5 stars They really do sound much better live, Aug 29 2003

By

Ben (New York City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Corrs Live at the Royal Albert Hall (DVD)

Among the best concert DVDs I own, after you watch one you should pick up the rest in this order (and you will want more!):

1. Live at the Royal Albert Hall
2. Live in London
3. Live at Landsdowne Road (Region 2)

The quality of the 3rd disc is not as good as the first two but still excellent. It is though one of The Corrs best performance overall (save the best for last) and the highlight is the duet with the two sisters, Caroline and Sharon Corr. The sheer size and participation of the audience is amazing too.

You will be in audio nirvana with the first two DVDs if you have a high end audio system. After upgrading and tweaking my stereo system, I find that Live at the Royal Albert Hall is the best recording, also most of the songs on there are my favorites so that one is the most replayable to me.

If you were to only get one disc go for Live at Landsdowne Road.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic DVD From A Classic Era Of a Classic Band., Jun 2 2004

By

Se�n Curran (Oakland California.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Corrs Live at the Royal Albert Hall (DVD)

In the modern age of Pop/Rock music, it is quite often a rarity to find a band as hard working and determined as The Corrs.And in 1998 in the heat of thier Promotional tour for their latest album Talk On Corners they landed what would be one of thier best gigs yet.
After practically selling their first album door to door in 1995-97,the band finally recieved mass success in the UK with their hit cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" and that would only lay the foundation for a good many ears and eyes to recieve the music of The Corrs in their own home.
Originally broadcasted in the UK, The Corrs: Live At The Royal Albert Hall was finally recieved by American fans later that following year.
In My opinion their performance is raw yet flawless as they showcase thier true talents blended with a Celtic heartbeat. In fact as I mentioned above, with their cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" they are accompanied by McFleetwood on (I believe) 3 tracks on this DVD. One highlight of the DVD is watching Caroline Corr play drumside with McFleetwood during "Dreams" and through the classic Irish traditional set "Toss The Feathers". McFleetwood truly looks like a primal beast up on that set as he beats out some AMAZING rythym and rolls.
Vocally They sound astounding. Visually the DVD provides a simple yet detailed look into a live Corrs show, Thus examplifying how they work as a unit live in concert. The Show has a few different sound options (that which I cannot remember at the moment) but if you have a good stereo system, this show will sound almost real . . . I played it on my Dolby system at my father's home and I was absolutely blown away, It sounds as though you are really there and once again visually (Along with Audio) the show is truly amazing.
In the end I HIGHLY suggest adding "The Corrs: Live At Royal Albert Hall" to your personal concert DVD collection. Once again this is a great band but an even greater DVD. Enjoy!
(And P.s.- Please don't mind my Typo's and Grammarical error's, I donnot have MS Word to assist me in cleaning this baby up lol)

4.0 out of 5 stars gorgeous sublime pop, Jan 9 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Corrs Live at the Royal Albert Hall (DVD)

Filmed in a more polite royal albert hall setting, this concert does not have quite the energy that their other live videos have, but still the sound quality is wonderful and their overall performance pulls you in more and more as the concert develops (and by the end even the stuffy british are dancing).

A couple unique features of this concert: (1) a beautiful rendition of "intimacy" which I haven't found elsewhere; (2) fantastic guest performance by mick fleetwood on "dreams" and other songs; (3) a vibrant version of "hopelessly addicted." The rest of the songlist is similar to other pre-breathless concerts.

A must for Corr fans and not a bad start for newbies.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Show
Being an American fan, I don't get to see the Corrs on television often -- if at all. This was my first glimpse into the band's live performances, and I was amazed at what I... Read more

I saw the Corrs on Saturday Night Live and this Royal Albert Hall concert somewhere on my satellite dish. When the DVD came out, I broke my neck trying to buy it! Read more
