This DVD is fantastic! The techincal quality is outstanding for a live recording. Katie's performance is exquisite as ever with amazing voice control and she's so down to earth for someone with such enormous talent!
The band are a mixture of seasoned musicians from a variety of backgrounds with one thing in common... they are all superb! There are a number of unusual musical arrangements such as using distortion on an acoustic guitar, and some fantastic keyboard work in "I put a spell on you". Use of a double bass (played by a absolutely stunning blond girl!) gives a wonderfully thick smooth bass line, and there's plenty of other musical genius from the band!
This DVD is pure quality! Order it with one click... NOW! You'll love it!
There is a second DVD in the box with some other stuff such as "making of the video", all good, but for me the live disc shines!

At the outset of this review, it should be noted that I am not a particular fan of watching concerts on DVD, they always seem to fail to capture the atmosphere or ambience of such an event - I was literally stunned at how good this footage was in giving me the impression I was there, that Katie Melua was singing on the live disc as if I was in the front of the audience there on that night!
Technically the DVD is of superb quality with a very high standard of audio and video reproduction. In fact it is the best I have ever seen or heard on any DVD of a live concert. The equipment I was watching on was of a good standard, Katie Melua makes good audio-display equipment worth every penny in my view.
For me and many others, Katie Melua has such a natural gift and talent that it is an absolute joy to watch her perform - the DVD is a showcase for her seemingly boundless talents. I love her honesty, the calibre of the performance and watching someone so relatively young, so incredibly mature, so easy-on-the-eye, and someone so incredibly at ease on a stage in front of a live audience.
What also impressed me about the live DVD was how relaxing I found it, and comfortable I was watching it - Professional musicians on stage combine effortlessly to pour out beautiful music along with Katie Melua who is such a precious talent.
I treasure this DVD already, I just hope Katie Melua continues to grace us with such great performances and great music in the future. With such a great team of musicians, producers and band members supporting her and allowing her talent to reach its unbounded potential, I trust her rise to the very top of international performers will continue but she will continue to perform in such venues where her beautiful voice and aura are a simply delight to experience.
I would highly recommend this DVD, for both the technical quality of it and the experience of watching Katie Melua and her band perform. I have always enjoyed watching or listening to talented people perform across a range of musical genres ,to me Ms Melua has her own unique qualities but already can be put on a level with such musical greats and talents as Eva Cassidy, Carly Simon and Barbra Stresand.
Simply stunning, I think you will agree should you watch the live disc.

Wonderful
A wonderful collection of Katies work focused around the featured concert. The extras are almost as good as the show itself - sit back and enjoy

Superb Vocal - Tight Band
Just listen to the track "I put a spell on you". This is just enough to buy this dvd. I watched and listened to the DVD on my flight from LA to Istanbul nearly four times.
