I had the pleasure of seeing Owl City play at The Cockpit in Leeds on this tour and for me this release has been a fantastic way to re-live the show. 'Fireflies' is particularly epic with a beautiful piano/guitar/drums introduction, and likewise the transition from 'Swimming In Miami' into 'Umbrella Beach' is inspired, it was worth buying this Blu-Ray just to be able to watch these songs again. The interview clips are also a nice addition, if a little short (only about 15 mins worth).
What I do find a little disappointing though is the 'live' audio mix, where the majority of the synth, strings and percussion parts have been replaced with tracks taken from the studio album mixes. This is presumably to reinforce the sound or perhaps the original live audio wasn't up to scratch, either way it becomes quite apparent with the drums in some places where what you're hearing doesn't match up to what the drummer is playing! The audio in general is also a little bit thin with a lack of low frequency from the bass guitar and kick drum.
Still, the video quality is excellent as is the overall editing and production. Here's to another live DVD from this year's tour!

Last September I got dragged up to Dublin by my teenage daughter to see Owl City (Adam Young) play at The Academy and, despite feeling a little old and out of place, I found the show really good. Adam appeared to be enjoying himself, happy to be in Dublin and really in touch with the audience. The songs were chirpy, witty and up-beat and the girls with the violin and cello gave the whole thing a touch of class.
With a similar set-up and play list, this concert DVD gave us an opportunity us to try to relive the experience. Overall it was quite close to the show we saw, and fun to watch, but there was definitely something lacking. Whether it was because of the American audience, or just nerves, Adam Young didn't seem to have the same joyful exuberance and enthusiasm that enthralled us in Dublin and he sometimes seemed to be just going through the motions. Perhaps this LA concert would have felt more exciting if we had actually been there, but for whatever reason the film doesn't get this across.
Otherwise, this is a nicely put-together concert DVD, including an interview and some background footage. The song list is fairly comprehensive - we were pleased that he played 'Plant Life' which he left out in Dublin although we missed 'Honey and the Bee' and 'Hospital Flowers' and unfortunately he skipped the Ronald Reagan intro to 'Galaxies'. For any fan of Owl City this is a good buy, but if not it probably won't convert you. I think he enjoyed the Dublin show more!
DVD is 'NTSC' all-region so it should play on all DVD players.
P.S. If you want an example of a really good concert DVD, full of passion and energy you should check out The Band's farewell concert - The Last Waltz [1978] [DVD].

This is an absolute must have for all Owl City fans!!! A mixture of songs from 'All Things Bright & Beautiful' and some older ones. The interview on the DVD with Adam is really cool as well!!!
