Format:DVD
Ill keep this short.
I actually took my niece to see these guys in concert the day they filmed this and i can tell you absolutely it was one of the best concerts i have ever seen.
Now bear in mind that im a bit of a rock chick and go to donnington park and leeds almost every year that has to tell you something.
My nieces face when she realised where we were on the day was priceless as i didnt tell her where we were going, and i have never seen a kid so excited in my life.
The concert was fantastic, i was happily singing and dancing along with everyone else, and im sure all the little added faux documentary additions will be fab as well.
If you didnt get a chance to go earlier in the year and your little girl/boy is a gleek they will love this.
Perfect christmas pressie for Gleeks everywhere !!

Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Didn't see the film at the cinema or the live concert so this was a first look.
I really enjoyed the film BUT why isn't the full concert released? I presume another Blu Ray/DVD will appear in the fullness of time to get you to buy it again.
Singing quality is awesome for a live concert - sounded like studio quality but I couldn't see evidence of lipsync and a number of singers threw in extra comments to audience members. Shows just how talented they are! Dancing is also excellent - though often you can't see much of it because the cameras focus on the singers more.
The running time for the film is list as about 1 hour 23 minutes but a large chunk of the film is fans chatting, backstage gossip and nonsense - not to say I didn't think those parts added to the film and were worthwhile in themselves (a couple of really moving and inspiration stories) but it cuts down the amount of music. I haven't measured it but I'd guess there is no more than 45-50 minutes of music.
The editing means that it is obvious that large chunks of the concert are simply cut out and many of the songs that are there are abridged (there are two extra copies of songs in the full performance version) which is a little sad.
For this issue - there are two disks in the pack. The Blu Ray constains the standard and 3D editions of the film (can't comment on the 3D because my TV doesn't support it) but the picture and sound quality of the standard Blu Ray version are very good. As for the CD there is a lot of audience noise but as you can seem them it is less intrusive and you do feel you are at a very lively concert. The drawback of the BR having both versions is that the majority of the extras are not present on the BR disk.... Read more ›

Format:Blu-ray
I purchased this blu-ray as a Christmas present and we were looking forward to a live Glee concert. Instead we were assaulted to a series of songs which appear to be shown out of order (spot some of the costume changes and see what you think), with the most irritating / distracting talking head clips from fans shoe horned inbetween. It also seems some of the performances when performed live had little sketch introductions which have been removed for the purposes of the movie presentation. A few remain as extras on the blu-ray hinting at what might have been.
What happened to the concert we were promised? The performances we do get are really good. They hint at a fantastic live concert. However bad editing from the actual performance to images of the screaming crowd, and fans talking about their favourite character and how Glee changed their lives, was very distracting. Ultimately these moments were fast forwarded through or we skipped to the next chapter anyway to get back to the concert.
Sue Sylvester's introductions to the performances are brilliant but unbelievably are now nothing more than a blu-ray extra when they are clearly the opening to the concert and introductions to some of the other performances such as the Warblers.
We were horrified when one of the Warblers songs was cut short by a child dancing in his living room in front of his TV playing the song from the actual episode, before switching to the actual live performance, at least a few lines into the song. We didn't buy a concert Blu-ray to watch a child dancing in front of his TV!
The truly cheesy, pass a sick bucket, "life stories" should have been extras as should the back stage scenes.... Read more ›

Format:DVD
I actually went to the Glee Live concert in London on the 26th June 2011 and words cannot describe how fantastic it is. It obviously doesn't have the real experience rolled into a DVD because being there was fantastic but it's pretty close.
If you love Glee, then you'll love this. It's a movie of the concert, with all my favourite songs. It also has some backstage peeks that you couldn't have experienced throughout the concert. Not only that, but it has a couple interviews of people with real life situations and it describes how Glee has changed their lives. How it's helped.
If your thinking of buying this for yourself or for somebody else who's passionate about Glee, I say go for it. It won't disappoint you. You'll find yourself re-watching it. I wish I could travel back to the concert, but i'll always have this DVD to look back on for the memories.

Loved seasons 1-3, season 4 is meh, this is meh.
I was quite disappointed by this. I loved the first three seasons, don't really like the current season (just telling this so you can calibrate your tastes with mine). Read more

I was really looking forward to viewing this in 3D (having missed the opportunity to see Glee live in the UK). Unfortunately, the 3D was fairly insignificant. Read more
