Disco de The Corrs: “Live at Landsdowne Park”

The Corrs need no gimmicks to sell their music. Over 40,000 people lined up in Dublin to see this fantastic, talented band perform some of their best songs, "runaway," "forgiven not forgotten," and "so young." Their traditional pieces, "haste to the wedding," and "joy of life" are real treats and brilliant as well. This is an enjoyable, refreshing dvd to watch and listen to. The Corrs do not use foul language in their music. They don't write explicit lyrics about sex. And the singer, Andrea Corr, is not running around barely clothed half the time. This is a band that is based on pure talent, something the music industry (particulary the American music scene) is lacking these days. Buy this dvd and see for yourself, a band unlike no other that is probably the best in the world right now.

LONG LIVE THE CORRS!

As a long-time fan of The Corrs and owner of all of their DVDs (including "Live In London", "Live At Royal Albert Hall" and "Unplugged"), I must agree with previous reviewers that this is the creme de la creme of the set (and all of them are excellent). What sets this one apart is the energy level and emotions brought out by the homecoming Dublin crowd. Clearly, this was more than just another concert for The Corrs. And though I wish the set had included a couple more covers interspersed with their popular hits (as I really get a kick out of their concert very unique covers of hits such as Little Wing, Everybody Hurts, Ruby Tuesday, Summer Wine, et. al), the group was in top form here. Highlights include the previously mentioned "Runaway", Sharon and Caroline's beautiful duet "No Frontiers" (performed with much more emotion than on the Unplugged DVD), a rare performance (and hard rocking, at that, at least for them) of "Secret Life", and an extended version of the traditional "lough Erin Shore". I only wish the VH1 Live From Dublin performance would come out on DVD.

The VHS cassette is hands-down one of the two or three best concert videos ever made. There's no reason to think the DVD will be anything less.

The band was at its peak. The direction, lighting, and sound are superb. The camera work, in particular, is close to ideal. The hometown crowd is delirious. The Corrs are clearly touched by their devotion and motivated to skyrocket.

In short, I cannot praise this video enough. It's right up there with Simon & Garfunkel At Central Park, the Stones rendition of Brown Sugar at Madison Square Garden broadcast on Dick Cavett in 1972, and The Beatles' promo video for Revolution. The Corrs Live at Landsdowne Road is that electric.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Overall great performance. If you only were to buy one of The Corrs videos this would be the one. Totally amazing to see them perform in front of 50,000+ fans. The only complaint (if one could call it that) is that they do not highlight Caroline enough. I have to admit she is my favorite of the group and it is totally delightful to watch beating on those drums with all that energy of hers and her drop dead smile !!!!

I was torn between 4 and 5 stars. The concert itself is wonderful, but the first time I watched it, I was very disappointed in the resolution. I don't know if that was intentional, but I would like to see one of their concerts in HD.
