Listening to James Blunt for the first time, I wasn't sure what to think of this artist. I've listened to many types of musicians during my time and I'll have to be honest it took me only two times to enjoy his music. When The Bedlam Sessions came out, it took no time for me to purchase this item. Watching the DVD of his performance shows how much passion and desire he has for his music. Not only this, but the CD/DVD also contains songs that are not on the Bedlam CD plus the shows are done a bit differently then the actually Bedlam album. It has more acoustic versions/piano versions as well as a beautiful remdition of "No Bravery" only with the piano and violen. The complete package is great. You get a live recording of a show from Ireland and then a DVD from a show at the BBC. On top of that, several videos of his songs, which have yet to be shown here in the states, plus an interview and documentary. The DVD can only play on Region Free or Region 2 DVD players but can also be played on your computer as well. If you enjoy the music of James Blunt, you'll be sure to enjoy this great package.

I had ordered this knowing that I probably wouldn't be able to watch it on my tv (having already read the comments) but I wanted the Live Cd anyway. I absolutely love the cd and I love listening to the couple of songs I haven't heard. I tried to play the dvd at a few different places to know avail, without even trying my own dvd player. I got it at Walmart for $17.oo the day after Thanksgiving and I'm cursing it every time I go to watch a movie because what would normally take 1.5 to watch a movie takes 2 or more due to the frame just freezing. But, this isn't the case 100% of the time, it will play a brand new one just fine. And imagine my amazement when I was able to watch James Blunt on my Tv with my cheap dvd player!!! I was literally ecstatic! He is so passionate and he has definetly touched my soul like no other musician/artist ever has. I know James has so many fans and the number grows every day I'm sure, everyone of them should own this dvd. It's fantastic!

Just a heads up to all James Blunt fans, that you can save yourself about $10 by buying this import cd/dvd directly from Amazon.co.uk

Check it out.

This CD is out of this world!! It's like being at his concert all over again. Thanks to R. Willits for the link for Videolan. (look for the review for the link)Although I can't watch the DVD on my TV, I CAN watch it on my computer. All in all I'm a very happy girl.
