Amazon.co.uk Review
Kylie Minogue concludes her On a Night Like This tour with an unashamed pop extravaganza on home ground in Sydney, performing to a huge audience which these days consists of more adults than teenagers. Kylie has undoubtedly matured over the years, too, and--apart from a brief stint believing she could become a "serious" artist--appears perfectly happy in her role as the Princess of Pop. Kylie fulfils different roles for different groups within the audience: for females it's all about adulation--rediscovering her childlike appeal like a long-lost friend; the men are offered a fantasy figure--the camera drawn like a magnet to her derrière for 20 per cent of the concert; and she simultaneously manages to be a gay icon, without becoming overtly camp. The joy of Kylie is that she has become all things to all people, offered up in a perfectly petite package.
It's clear that the years of work as a performer have paid off, her vocals are much stronger now with a real sense of professionalism, and just to prove this she performs two old favourites as serious pieces, "I Should Be So Lucky" is offered as a ballad and "Better the Devil You Know" is transported to Shirley Bassey territory, allowing Kylie to prove her vocal range. In true show-stopping style we're offered a multitude of costume changes: from hot-pant mania to refined suits and rock-chick leather, Kylie inevitably appears looking great; although the same cannot be said for her backing dancers, whose outfits are often laughable, with all the style of a school play costume. Despite the many faces of Kylie on display here, pop stardom does not appear to have changed her girl-next-door image--Kylie remains in our hearts a true "neighbour".
On the DVD: This music disc is like Kylie, perfectly packaged in every way. The menu is beautifully laid out (even though the images offer an excess of cleavage) with a great range of easily accessible options. You can choose simply to play the concert straight in its pristine 16:9 anamorphic screen ratio or you can select your favourite songs from the track selection option; you can visit Kylie backstage or watch the great music video for "Spinning Around". The set-up has a choice of PCM Stereo, Dolby Digital or DTS 5.0 and a wide range of subtitles, along with the option to be pointed backstage at relevant points in the concert to get the full Kylie experience. --Nikki Disney

Format:VHS Tape
Kylie is the definition of pure talent and this video proves it. I recently saw the concert live and wow 'speachless'. She is the simply the best performer, she certainly knows how to entertain people Kylie Stylie and as for the live version of 'Kids' on this video- - who needs Robbie, she does a superb version of it without him. There is even a version of I should be so lucky on here, though it is barely recognisable from the cheesey original version, along with 'Better the Devil You Know'I just love it. There are also old favourites like the 80's stock aitken medley, What do I have to do, Shocked, classics such as Confide in me, Put yourself in my place, and who can forget Spinning Around- plus the hotpants are on for this one!!!.
I am not quite sure where Kylie will go from here but she always manages to go one better. Watch this space!!

Watch Kylie decend from a huge silver anchor from the top of the stage as she belts out 'Loveboat'. With this in mind, think boats, think tropicana, think style, think chic - and there you have Ms Minogue at her very best. This video is filled with recent hits from her 'Light Years' extravaganza and it also takes you back to her golden oldies. Kylie's voice is terrific, much better than you would actually think. The stage is very intricate and modern. The costumes are very chic (designed by none other than Julien MacDonald). Kylie gives us an insight into her latest project 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head', which is a surefire Number 1. With the elegance of the Royal Family and the Rock Chick effect of Courtney Love, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Ms Kylie Minogue!

Just finished watching this DVD - All I can say is she's brilliant, beautiful and sparkling!!! Kylie shakes her groove thing across the stage with class. Her updated, re-stylized songs from her past are great and her new songs even better.
Now if only they'd put Kylie's videos from the past on DVD.

How it's supposed to be
This concert is simply fabulous! Kylie is amazing, singing live - of course. Presented in 16:9 wide screen, the picture is very good. The sound is good in stereo, the Dolby 5. Read more

Not that impressive at all
I bought this DVD because I'd heard such good things about it and I liked her two most recent CDs. I'm afraid this DVD was very disappointing. Read more
