- BEST DVD EVER!!!!
I have never reviewed anything on Amazon, but after listening and seeing this DVD I had to change that. This is undoubtedly the BEST DVD I have ever seen and heard! I waited years for this DVD to come out with Region 1 encoding, and it was worth the wait. This is The Corrs at their best. Clear, crisp vocals with just enough instrumentation. The "No Frontiers" duet with Sharon and Caroline is wonderful! I knew they both could sing, but not this well. Andrea is incredible as always. She has to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. It's easy to tell the group enjoyed making this video. The cozy setting with the partial orchestra was a wonderful idea. I haven't figured out how the audience stayed in their seats the whole time. The instrumentals make you want to jump up and dance. This is a MUST HAVE DVD for any Corrs fan! I only wish I could have given it more than 5 stars!

- The Best!
The Corrs are the best band in the world. I love their music, and on Unplugged, they are performing at their best. Andrea's vocals are beautiful, and so is her tin whistle playing. Jim, Caroline, and Sharon are also multi-talented. This video showcases the humorous side of the band, as well as the raw talent that they have. This isn't just some band who was created by some record company, this is a family. Two of my favorite parts are when Caroline messes up "Runaway" and Jim makes a joke about it, and when Sharon and Caroline sing Heaven Knows (No Frontiers). This is definitely a video that you will want to own.

- PURE BRILLIANCE! THE MOST AMAZING VIDEO MADE TO DATE!
If you're a Corrs fan, this video is totally 100% for you. I'm possibly one of the biggest Corrs fans on this planet. I practically worship the four of them. I just adore them, and when I saw this video, it made me love them so much more. It is SUCH a fantastic video. The band is relaxed, they look fantastic, their performance is brilliant, and they're hilarious! Jim makes a joke about Caroline's mistake on "Runaway", Andrea shoots her big big smile every 2 minutes, and they truly look like they're having a good time. It is brilliant. Amazingly brilliant. YOU HAVE TO GET THIS VIDEO! I will tell you, it is worth every penny that you pay!

- Excellent - worth every star
I've always liked the Corrs but this DVD really highlighted their talent (and beauty!) even more. Unplugged/acoustic music DVD's are always a measure of how much is real talent and musical proficiency. Especially with singing, there's no hiding a lack lustre performance behind sound effects and noisy crowds. Andrea's singing is spot on and the viewers are small in numbers so as she puts it, it is "intimate" giving it a different atmosphere to a concert of thousands.
I think their set list worked well to, also giving Andrea a break by having the other two sisters perform a duo.
I'd really like them to do another unplugged/acoustic set with some of their material as its been a few years now since this DVD was recorded.
The Corrs are real musicians and artists. No need for lip syncing here. If you're a Corrs fan, and can only afford one DVD, this is the one to get.

- Finally Here
After finally receiving this DVD with region one encoding(from Amazon Canada)I am more than a little angry that it has been withheld from the North American region for so many years.I had seen a couple of performances from this album on the Best of the Corrs Videos and had wanted to see the rest of the performance. I am absolutely ecstatic. The duet with Sharon and Caroline on "No Frontier" is so much superior than on the Landsdowne DVD. I had never heard the two of them sing solo before and their voices are amaxzing and so clear and true on this DVD. Watching and hearing Andrea sing "Little Wing" and "Everybody Hurts" is a treat in itself. What I really like about this "unplugged" performance is the ability to listen and to appreciate their vast musical skills without the noise and visual distractions of the concert audience. This makes the performance intimate and very special. I think I finally have all the available Corr's DVD's now and this will probably end up my favorite.
