Disco de Keane: “Live [DVD]”

There are often occasions where seeing a live performance of a band you like is disappointing. This concert DVD is just the opposite. Not only does it confirm my belief that Keane are one of the best new artists around, it gave me a new found respect for them. I was a bit worried near the beginning of the performance because it seemed like Tom Chaplin might be getting into a bit of the self indulgent crowd interaction too much but I think after he calmed down the band concentrated on a great performance. And it was great. Chaplin's voice was absolutely solid. The sound quality is perfect. A fine mix despite the fact that it's only 3 guys and often just 2 making the music. The visuals are fantastic. It's really a pleasure to see that Keane has people that understand that lighting and visual effects add so much to a good concert. This DVD is an absolute must for Keane fans and anyone else that appreciates great new music performed by seriously talented individuals.

Okay, I'm getting seriously fed up with these idiots giving this DVD a bad review because they can't READ. It clearly says on this page that this is a REGION 2 DVD, and it even says that it won't work in US players. Reviewers here need to focus on the performance of Keane, not on the fact that they are so insipid. Keane is releasing this DVD for the FIRST TIME in North America on July 14th, and it will be a Region 1 DVD when released. So get over it and learn how to shop smarter and READ!

The whole thing's fantastic, but the vocals are just tremendous. One of the best voices in the last 50 years shines through. The video is incredible as well - certainly a reference concert for a nice home theater. It won't exercise your sub much, but you need a different genre for that.

Most concert videos are bad. You are watching them and just feel like an intruder to the show. This concert video makes you feel a part of the show. It starts out with thundering piano by both Tom and Tim and with Richard backing up on the drums. It is incredibale the energy you feel from this video. It makes you just say "wow" in almost every part of the show. I highly recommend it to any Keane fan or any music fan. It is that good.

After Keane's first two albums, they were on a way to be one of the greatest bands ever ... They seemed to have appeal to wide variety of the audiences. They were new, they sounded fresh and MUSIC was definitely great. They had classic pop songs, with amazing melodies and incredible Tom Chaplin's vocals. What more can you ask for from a new band? They really were brilliant. I saw one of their concerts during this tour in 2007 and I became fan for life. This DVD is a concert from that tour I saw and it's really amazing. Music, set-list, performance, audience ... The whole tone is a real treat. I got this DVD the day it came out in Canada and I played it over and over ... Somehow everything seemed to be amplified from what I saw in concert. Highlights from this DVD would be "Everybody's Changing" - any-time favorite song to hear, "Nothing In My Way" - this one feels like it was written about me and it is my #1 personal favorite song by the band. "Bad Dream" and poem before the actual song was performed was real treat. Ultimate high as far as vocals is "The Frog Prince" - this could be acoustic or accapella, either way sounds amazing. "Bedshaped" was final song and seems like band's favorite - live sounds just great. It's been over 5 years since this DVD's release and I still gladly watch it from time to time. Great job Keane and keep up!
