Summary: Amazing concert
Comment: Wasn't lucky enough to see the guys in person, but this dvd is the next best thing. I loved the
extras too, nice to see them commenting on the show, and judging by the humour, they don't take
themselves too seriously.
The award they won for best live act at the Brits was well deserved.

Summary: Incredibly good - for many tastes too
Comment: I'm not an old Take That fan. Being in my 50s my boy band was the Beatles! That just means I've seen
a lot of rock-pop over the years and can appreciate a top act when I see one. This concert is just
great theatre by anyone's standards.
Their material is also maturing and they are recreating
themselves in an enduring way. They are doing 'professional naturally sexy and talented individual
men' rather than 'boys' now. Gone (almost) are the old cutesy gestures that to my mind look a bit
odd on guys of this age (unless you are trying to recreate nostalgia for old fans). I have heard
'Could it be magic' in many incarnations but this version is the ultimate version. This is not only
because of the Cirque de Soleil type treatment visually but because it is sung with such feeling
(which I dont think this group has even put into it before). So often when performers go for the big
show look they do it with plastered theatrical smiles. What Take That offers instead is the poignant
and powerful emotionality put into this and all numbers and I see this ultimately as their big
strength. Should they get beyond their dancing days this is what should give them longevity as
performers. I like the way they are using the group more individually rather than sticking to the
boy band formula. There is a lot of individual talent among them and it shows them more as talented
in their own individual right beyond any manufacturing.
I have even now bought the CD this
concert showcases - and they sing even better in the show. 'I'd wait for life' is a new favorite
after the show -such feeling!
I can't say I did relate to the pole dancing thing as another
reviewer. These guys are naturally sexy and dont need this contrived stuff. They also move their
largely female audiences with their ability to hit and convey deep and personal emotion. This is
beyond cheap sex and I'm not sure whether this is really their fan's fantasy - and I could do
without the fire item-I feel nervous about the potential. However these are small quibbles. />There must be a comment on the filming too. This should be compulsory viewing for those shooting
concerts for DVD. There is a lot of variety with shots chosen that pick the moods and emotional
moments. The colour, lighting, staging and set design etc are also truly state of the art:
interesting and magic (with one intriguing surrealist coordinating of the real with a projection
-you'll have to see it- and the wonderful show-stopping 'Shine' number.
What more can I say
than a loud applause and if you havent been into this lot before they are well worth the journey.

Summary: Excellent package - Disc 2 as good as Disc 1
Comment: Ok, let's say it loud and clear: watching them live is WAAAAY better than watching a DVD in your
living room, but this DVD is the closest you will ever get to that emotion. And there is a plus:
disc 2 in which you can find the concert, again (and if you watch carefully you will see that there
are some different angle shots from the ones on disc 1), with commentary by the band; a photogallery
and a documentary called "the journey", which is highly enjoyable. About disc 1 all I can tell you
is one thing: I watched the gig in Milan(I live in southern Italy) and brought a friend along with
me. She is not a fan and knew very little about them but she went CRAZY and danced and enjoyed
herself all night. This means that every open minded pop music lover can enjoy this DVD!!! For those
interested the audio this time is much better than the one on "The Ultimate Tour". One last note: I
envy anyone who watched them in Manchester, because they got the guys singing "Mancunian Way" which
is one of the best tracks on the "Beautiful World" album.

Summary: The most amazing live DVD ever!!!
Comment: This is definitely the most amazing live DVD ever...performances are super, the show has no
precedents, the emocion, the dancing, the lights, the images, is absolutely INCREDIBLE. And you if
you a Take That fan, this is a MUST. The lads do give everything on stage, they leave with nothing
else to give, the performances show sooo much passion, it really is a pleasure to watch it. The DVD
with the extras is SUPER! especially if you happen to be a Take That fun, there's lots of humor
there and you can see how the tour was planned from scratch. There is also a band commentary about
the DVD where they are their own cristics, its fascinating!
