Advantages: A great package, high content
Disadvantages: slightly below par performance

Bon Jovi have been among the elite touring acts of the world for more than twenty years, and to see them live is one of the top concert experiences in music. So it is with great anticipation that any fan waits for Bon Jovi concert releases. Filmed on August 30th 2000 during Bon Jovis hugely successful comeback in support of their first album for five years, the Crush tour DVD sees them wow 55,000 people in the Letzigrund stadium in Zurich, Switzerland. ...
...best you have ever seen Bon Jovi perform (Newcomers should be suitably impressed) There is a certain spark that is not quite there like in other shows, although this may be down to the fact the crowd are largely uninspiring; it is a fine performance but lacks the magic Bon Jovi concerts are famed for. It is worth saying it rains through the whole show which maybe dampened the spirit. The DVD as a package on the other hand is very good. This was ... Read review

...The Way I Am: Eminem showed his anger with this song, Eminem told the world dont judge because you dont know me, the press ridiculed him because of his views but thease people have know idea were he's come from and what he's gone through. Another powerful video. The Real Slim Shady: Eminem shows another side to his personality, a comical side which turned out to be a massive hit, fantastic song. the video is also brilliant.

Just Dont Give A f***: This song shows the rebelious side of Eminem as he tells it how it is and the video shows a trailer park were he was brought up. Brilliant A fantastic DVD ... Read review

Advantages: Paul Weller live DVD
Disadvantages: Can't be seen full screen on normal TV

I've followed Paul Weller now since he started with the Jam in 1977, through his days with the Style Council, and now throughout his 'solo' career. I've seen him live 6 times, and for those of you not fortunate enough to have seen him live, a live DVD like this one is the next best thing. Paul Weller has inspired the 1990's bands such as Oasis and Blur, and got the title 'The Modfather'. He regularly plays on 'Later with Jools Holland', and in February ...
...to London the next time Paul played the Albert Hall just to see the concert. Anyway, about this DVD. It captures Paul Weller and his band doing a 95 minute live set that comes solely from Paul's solo career. The full band and track listing can be found at the end of the review. I've always thought that Paul Weller sounds even better live than he does on vinyl/cd, and this DVD captures the vibrant energy that is evident whenever he is on stage. ... Read review

Disadvantages: Lack Of Songs

I have been a fan of meatloaf for many years and have seen him in concert may of this year.Though he is continuing to write new material it is not a touch on his music from the late seventies and early eighties. I purchased this dvd knowing that the best of his musical career would be on this and it would be one i could enjoy time and again. Of course there are people that would disagree and maybe prefer his new music but im here to give an opinion ...
