Product: Cher: Extravaganza - Live at the Mirage [VHS] (1992)
Rating: 4.0
Why we can't get the whole show?.
I originally bought the VHS version of this 1990 concert and I really like it. That version released in 1992 was cutted to 13 songs, leaving behind hits such as "JUST LIKE JESSE JAMES" or "HEART OF STONE". Now this re-release on DVD is loaded with special features such as an alternative opening, a big blooper from a concert of this tour that started and Cher's microphone wasn't working, a TV Commercial promoting the the tour, a backstage of home movies with Cher's commentary (Cher makes some comentaries throughout the development of the DVD), a clip from "HEART OF STONE" (song) with a personal camera, photo gallery and a cut from footage of Cher's crew backstage. Next to this extras you can find the tracks "TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS", "HOLD ON", "MANY RIVERS TO CROSS" and "TOUGHER THAN THE REST" with multi-angles of your choice. What I find ridiculous is that on the VHS version this songs were on the concert on its part of the show but now they appear as speacial features. And well I still wonder why they didn't release the WHOLE show without cutting it to just 13 songs. Well I believe that we still have to wait for that version.Other than this, I can say that the show is really good and even tough the production isn't as her "Believe Tour" or as the "Farewell Tour",you can enjoy hits such as "IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME", "I FOUND SOMEONE", "WE ALL SLEEP ALONE" between others and Cher was at her best. If it wasn't for all the cuts, I would've rated it with 5 stars.
