A year after his slickly produced recording debut launched him on a meteoric course to stardom, this combo DVD/CD set chronicles Michael Buble's crowd-pleasing live performances before amphitheater-sized crowds on a triumphant national tour. The audio portion kicks off with a pair of new studio recordings again reinforcing the 20-something Canadian heartthrob's 1950s-something artistic tack with mixed results: "Nice 'n' Easy" has a Sinatra-faithful jazzy swing; the overproduced, somnambulistic "Can't Help Falling in Love" evokes Perry Como more than Elvis. The remainder of the audio CD is comprised mostly of live versions of songs from Buble's debut, with his takes of "My Funny Valentine," "Fever," Van Morrison's "Moondance," and "Mack the Knife" again suggesting that Buble has an ear cocked wisely towards the Bobby Darin oeuvre. But with the notable exception of three elegant live-in-studio performances culled from Sessions@AOL, the live DVD does Buble's undeniably charming stage presence a great disservice. Intercut awkwardly with offstage comments by Buble and his band, the balance of that disc suffers from an MTV-inspired, cut/dissolve-every-three-seconds style that's intended to focus one's attention, but does exactly the opposite. If sudden stardom virtually guarantees that Buble's impossibly smooth, expressive voice seldom ventures very far outside the Sinatra/Darin mold here, hopefully he'll leverage that fame towards greater artistic challenges in the near future. --Jerry McCulley

What a great CD! CD came with a DVD containing his live performances overseas and here in the States. This CD is almost always in my car, and if the walls of my car could talk, they'd tell you i'm no Michael Buble! LOL Oh well, I'll just have to enjoy this CD and the DVD. If you enjoy crooners like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, and Bobby Darin, or enjoy artists like Otis Redding, Perry Como, and Ella Fitzgerald, this CD is definitely for you!

The CD is containing very nice songs , great performence, however the DVD part is almost only biography talk. I have purchased it for the DVD, I thought it is going to be a nice concert, that dissapointed me. I am listning to the CD in my car and it is great.

If you are a fan of Michael Buble, you'll love this combination DVD and CD. The DVD is very creative in its imagery, plus its interviews with Buble. More than a concert DVD, it is a movie about a young singer. CD is great, too!

I am a fan of Micheall Buble, so anything he puts out is "first class!!! A very well done DVD & an insight to what goes on when not performing. IT IS SUPER IN EVERY WAY!!!!!!

This DVD was the first one released by Michael Buble, and I bought it in hopes of seeing some of his live performances. There are segments of performances, but the editing and fast, wild cuts from one angle to the next to the next to the next really detract from the overall effect. The performances get largely lost. What remains is a LOT of footage of Michael and his original bandmembers drinking, clubbing, gambling, womanizing, and generally acting like rowdy frat boys.

If you really want to be wowed and experience what a live Buble concert is like, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "Caught in the Act". This DVD lives up to it's name as part of the PBS Great Performances series produced by David Foster. "Caught in the Act" is slick, glossy, flashy, enormously fun and absolutely true to the real experience. I've seen Buble perform live twice, and I can attest that "Caught in the Act" is just about as good as being there.
