I got all of Michael Ball's concert DVDs and in my opinion this one is the best so far. The sound quality is top-notch, the song choices reach from current chart-hits to "oldies" from the sixties and seventies to musicals, form slow romantic ballads to ubpeat uptempo numbers and Michael himself is at his best. If you already are a Michael Ball fan, this DVD is a must. If you're not: Be ready to become one after buying this DVD. There's also a special about how putting together a concert, including comments by Michael and his background singers.
The setlist is as follows:
Heroes medley (the band playing themes from different "Hero"-movies and series)
Holding out for a Hero
Bad Things
Don't stop believing (Glee-version)
Let the Heartaches begin
Play me
Misty
I'm never going to fall in Love again
New York State of Mind
New York Medley:
- On Broadway (with Adrian Hansel and Gary Watson)
- Empire State of Mind (by Laura Tebbutt)
- An Englishman in New York (with Gary Watson)
- Fame (by Holly James)
- Broadway Baby (by Sandra Marvin)
- New York New York
Weekend in New England
Sunset Boulevard intro (band)
As if we never said Goodbye
Sunset Boulevard
Empty Chairs at empty Tables
I dreamed a Dream
Pretty Women
Not while I'm around
This is the Moment
Somebody to love
Avenues and Alleyways
Pencil full of Lead
One Step out of Time
I can't help falling in Love with you
Help yourself
Love changes everything
For once in my Life

Michael Ball-Heroes Live Concert DVD
Can't understand why I've been asked to review this as it's not due out until next month, but here goes:-
I'm happy to say I was there in Birmingham the night this wonderful concert was recorded. My daughter bought the tickets as a surprise birthday present for me, and we had a wonderful evening! Michael was his usual scintillating and energetic best. A joy to watch and listen to. His support group and musicians were simply top of the range, and added to the magic of the evening. It was standing ovations all the way through, with Michael singing songs written and recorded by musical HEROES past and present. If you love Michael Ball you can't live without this, he just gets better and better.
By the time this DVD actually comes out I shall have been to the Chichester Festival Theatre to see him in 'Sweeney Todd' (she gloated)!

I'm not quite sure exactly why...I had a fantastic christmas and I was in a perfectly good mood, but when I sat down and watched this concert DVD I could not help but be very very disappointed. Don't get me wrong. I'm a big MB fan and normally like every concert and CD that he does, but I ended up skipping through this concert and it left me feeling rather empty. I felt that the camera work was rushed with several fast moving zoom in/out angles and the band were limited and Michael Ball himself looked at times like he was either tired or just couldn't be bothered. I didn't like much of the song choice either. It was nothing on previous concerts which featured a string of songs from a variety of shows including Les Mis, Blood Brothers, Evita to name a few. Plus he put his hand to songs by Amy Winehouse and more recent artists. However here, we just got a lump of Broadway classics which felt rather boring and lazy to be honest. The DVD itself is badly printed and mis-leading. There are type errors e.g. it says he sings "Pretty Woman" and he doesn't...it is a spelling mistake and instead he sings a new song from his next project. The Tracklist also jumps about and is hard to follow. Putting all this aside - there are some good points. When Michael Ball is on top form he truely is. It's just a shame that it isn't all the way through. His backing singers were fantastic as always. Although at times it felt like they were doing more of the concert then he was and making a far better job of a poor selection of songs. Sorry Michael - I'm a fan, but I didn't like this one at all.
