I was actually at the show that was filmed for this DVD, and wanted to recapture the memories of the performance. All in all the show was satisfying, with music from all 3 of Kylie's record labels. Kylie interacted with the crowd brilliantly and brought the roof down with her bum wiggle!! However, his DVD fails to satisfy; I personally think it's the worst one from Kylie. But viewers can make up your own minds about that. So let's take a walk down memory lane and look back on the good, the bad & the ugly (the costumes)... Let's start with the positives: Kylie's rendition of classic hit `Shocked' is the best live performance of this song she's ever done. The ballad section is amazing. `The Crying Game', `Put Yourself In My Place' and `Finer Feelings' allow Kylie to show us how much her vocals have improved over the years. With a simple backdrop and no dancers the focus is on her. Sometimes simple is best. `Confide In Me' is one of Kylie's best songs, and I loved the dancier mix. The song's intro is killer. The Latin Section is interesting. In Your Eyes' and `Please Stay' is in a medley together with Gloria Estifan's classic `Rhythm Of The Night'. I don't rate either Kylie single too highly, so the lively performance added some passion to it. Her encore started with non-single `Burning Up'. Fantastic song should have been a single. I also loved her entrance for this one. Very well done. Her final song was the New order's `Blue Monday' bootleg of her massive single 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'. I used to love the original version, but it has been wildly overplayed, so I really loved the fresher mix. Unfortunately, I do have some negatives to feedback: Actually at the concert the music was so loud, that at times you didn't even know what Kylie was singing. The sound on the DVD has been improved. But is still poor compared to Kylie's other concert DVDs. The constantly changing camera angles are quite nauseating. Let's have Kylie centre stage. then cut away to zoom in on a dancer, spin out over the audience, back to Kylie - from the left side. It gets very annoying. Also annoying is having little icons superimposed over concert footage. Distracting. Remember Australia only single COWBOY STYLE? Thought not. How about non-single LIMBO? The Japanese 'hit' GBI? I suppose it's nice to cater to us fanatics who acually know these songs, but the casual viewer will be bored & hitting the `forward' button. While it has no bearing on the actual performance, the costumes - aside from the Clockwork Orange' bit - were disappointing. Also disappointing was the stage and backdrops. Not a major thing, but it lessened the impact of the show to me. Last gripe - the dancers routines were quite boring. Normally, your head would be bopping side to side to try and take everything in. Not here. We still love `Manchester Boy' though.Read full review
I was lucky enough to see this show live in Manchester, and the dvd does it complete justice. Kylie's perfomance is captured perfectly on this disc, and the bonus cd is just the crowning glory. Recommend this dvd to anyone who has ever danced to just one of her songs in the club. You'll be singing along in no time, and realise you actually like more of songs than first thought. While the extras on the disc aren't fantastic, they do give you something to watch when you need a break from dancing round your living room. Most of the big tunes from the Fever album are included here, and performed with the usual Kylie gusto, and her older tracks are also included, Cowboy Style and Better The Devil You Know being highlights for me. This is one dvd that will be played over and over again.
