Product: The Corrs: Live at the Royal Albert Hall/Lansdowne Road
Rating: 4.0
Not the definitive performance, but very good.
I own Live at The Royal Albert Hall as well as Live at Lansdowne Road. The Royal Albert Hall DVD is superior, in my opinion. The main differences between the two are the sound quality and the atmosphere. Live at The Royal Albert Hall has excellent sound quality and great sound mixing too. It was recorded in a more intimate atmosphere and doesn't have the echoing reverberations that the Landsdowne Road show has. Lansdowne suffers from poor audio--it sounds like you're standing at the back of the stadium. The mixing is also bad with non-existent percussion. The direction is also a bit frenetic for my taste.However, Lansdowne Road still has a lot going for it. Among the DVD highlights are, No Frontiers with Sharon and Caroline on vocals, a rocking version of So Young, great subtitles with both captions and lyrics, nice bonus features and, I might add, Sharon looks like a billion dollars on this night.I recommend this DVD but Live at The Royal Albert Hall is my favourite.
