Disco de Kylie Minogue: “Live in Sydney”

Kylie Minogue is so marvelous in concert that us Americans should be begging for a US tour. She couldn't have gotten more creative after naming her tour after one of her hits aptly titled "On A Night Like This". This concert is a timeline of Kylie's singing career. Kylie goes through all her hits a most of her "Light Years" album. She does a medley of fantastic cover songs such as "Celebration" and several other great hits. The worldwide hit "Can't Get You Out" was introduced during this concert. Kylie also does a performance of "Your Disco Needs You" which is by far one of the worst songs I have ever heard, but be that is of may, it's different and creative. Kylie also does a ballad/up-dated version of "I Should Be Lucky" which is superb. In addition, Kylie does an updated version of "Better The Devil You Know" which compared to the original is by far much better. Kylie goes on to sing yet another cover song, "Physical" originally performed by Olivia Newton John. Kylie's version of "Physical" is the turn point in the concert and everything from here on out including the dance moves to the songs become more sexual. Kylie does her own solo version of "Kids" being that Robbie Williams couldn't be there to perform the duet with her. Light Years is a great song to end the show with and the dance moves, outfits, and scenery is extremely creative and memorable. With one last surprise she decides to sing two more songs before ending the show and to my surprise the last one was "spinning Around" which is by far one of Kylie's best tracks ever. This DVD also features the video for "Spinning Around" and if you are asking my opinion, I think it would have been an excellent single here in the United States. See what you have been missing out on in the past 15 years of Kylie's career and check this out.

This has to be by far one of the best concerts kylie has ever done. the track list includes

1. intro

2. loveboat - great way to open up the show. i like how she's on the anchor

3. koochachoo

4. hand on your heart

5. put yourself in my place - kylie slows it down

6. on a night like this - very sexy song.

7. medley (step back in time/never too late/wouldn't change a thing/turn it into love/celebration) - kylie goes back in time with these great hits

8. can't get you out of my head - one of my favorites. she introduced this song on this tour

9. your disco needs you - you gotta love it.

10. i should be so lucky - she sings the 1st verse and the chorus. the song is slower and intimate

11. better the devil you know - she makes this song into a big band version. really sounds great.

12. so now goodbye - my favorite song on the light years cd. also love the performance.

13. physical - a slower sexy version of the olivia newton-john hit. my favorite song performed on tour.

overall, the show was fun, sexy, and awesome.

Whether you are an old fan or a new one, this concert DVD will not disappoint!! From the song selection to the production values, this show is great. I actually purchased this from Australia as an import and bought a multi-regional DVD player just to play this DVD. The extra cost was no waste. This is finally being released for North American DVD players.

This concert tour was from early 2001 in support of her then current cd release "Light Years". Nine songs from that cd are performed during this show. For the new Kylie fans, yes, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" is performed as her new upcoming release. "Light Years" is one her best cds and contains a lot up very uptempo and sometimes campy songs. The concert reflects this feel. Kylie surrounds herself with a lot of lights, color and 11 attractive dancers. Not that she needs a lot of support however. This isn't filled with a bunch of head-tossing, bootie shaking, lipsynching performing like some of her contemporaries. Kylie shows how she can be an overall live entertainer, as well as being a writer on many of her newer songs.

The one and only disappointment was the fact that she never performed "Locomotion", which was her biggest hit in the U.S., but then again this tour was never done in the U.S. On Kylie's earlier material, she does a good job of updating it with a more contemporary sound while not making it unrecognizable nor disappointing.

Bonus material includes backstage footage of Kylie and interviews with dancers and stagehands. This truly gives you an idea of the genuine person Kylie is. Her admiration by those around her seems sincere, which explains her longevity. Kylie has been a huge success for 14 years all around the world except in the U.S. and it's about time she's given the recognition she deserves, so buy this and enjoy!!

I've been a Kylie fan from her first release in the US.....that's 14 years ago if you figure it out. Alas, I had never seen Ms. Minogue sing live in concert. At last, with the release of Kylie Live In Sydney I can now see what kind of amazing performer she's become. I was not disappointed. In fact, I am now a bigger fan if that is possible.

Highlights include "Hand On Your Heart", "Better the Devil You Know"(turned into a jazzy, tap dance number...amazing!), "Butterfly", a hits medley("Step Back In Time","Never Too Late","Wouldn't Change a Thing","Turn it Into Love" and her cover of Kool and the Gang's "Celebration") and my favorite, her cover of Olivia Newton-John's "Physical"(better than the recorded version and very HOT!)......but these highlights are just the best of the best as theres really not a down moment here.....from the opening montage of the LOVELY star to her last number, her "comeback" hit "Spinning Around" she doesn't miss a beat and you shouldn't miss this one!

Before her sell-out tour for Fever2002, Kylie did this great tour in Sdyney, just after her Intimate And Live Tour. (I strongly reccommend you pick these two DVDs up aswell) The sound quality and picture quality of this DVD are also amazing! It is also avilable on VHS.

I love the way Kylie interacts with her audience or talks to them alot. I think it is very cool the way she does that. She does it the most in her Money Can't Buy Tour. (Pick this up too, aswell as Ultimate Kylie!)
