Format:DVD
From the moment Barbra Streisand walks on stage through the darkness to the moment the titles roll, its just a spellbinding experience and a real lesson as to what musical entertainment ought to be.
Music, singing and dancing are all there and there in abundance. Tony's obvious joy at singing with Streisand set the stage for what was to be 'A show to remember'. Previously unheard of singer, John Legend, had me out looking for more examples of his work. I knew of K.D Lang's work before this DVD but I never realised how good a singer she really is and there is a magic between her and Tony that is a joy to see. The arrangement of the tune is angelic and Chris Botti's trumpet is an added bonus. If you want to know what perfection is, look to this track. Diana Krall's 'The best is yet to come' pleases but the dancing and dancer's reveal an age of entertainment, sadly rarely seen today. Elton John amuses, while Michael Buble shows why he is fast becoming one of the most popular MOR artists around. What can anyone say about Tony and Stevie Wonder's duet on 'For once in my life'? Just watching the genuine adulation on Tony's face says it all. Wonder is just amazing. Every note seems to be a surprise and its no wonder that the pair received a Grammy award for the rendition. That, alone, is worth the price of the DVD.
Despite not being a fan of modern pop singers like Christine Aguilera, I loved her performance, loved the fantastic dancing and again, the obvious admiration between her and Bennett.
On the downside, some of the kitchy switching between colour and b&w filming was an unnecessary embellishment and I could live without the the interjections of stars like Travolta, Zeta-Jones, De Niro and Bruce Willis, although I suppose it helped to show the respect that Bennett is held in, within the entertainment fraternity. The show stands on its content and would have been great, even shot on 8mm.
No one can fail to enjoy this show, nor marvel at the great man's abilities as he turns eighty.
This is what 'Entertainment' is really all about. Invite some friends over, sit down and enjoy. Its a one off opportunity that would cost a fortune to see live and you can have it for just a few pounds in your own front room.

Whilst Tony is one of my favourite singers he has done himself no favours making this DVD.
It jumps around from black and white to colour. It would indicate that most of the songs are lip sync'd. The audience clapping is an added extra. When there are people visible it tries to give the impression of a full theatre when in fact it would be a stretch of the imagination if there were more than 20.
All in all, the songs are good ones but not on this DVD.
A waste of anyones money.
