If you are into contemporary jazz or simply just want to hear something new and refreshing, this DVD will surely captivate your heart as it has captured mine. Michael Buble (I cannot find the special 'e' character to denote a specific pronunciation of his last name. But yeah, it is pronounced with two syllables) who has I believe brought back to life Jazz in its more refreshing tune was sensational in this concert of his in Wiltern Theater in L.A. sometime in 2005. He was just so charming singing some hits of the past breathtakingly effortless. This concert just made me love Michael Buble more.
I especially like Michael Buble's duet with Laura Pausini on "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine." It is romantic and swaying and it reminds me of Robbie William and Nicole Kidman's "Something Stupid". "Feeling Good" is also my favorite in the concert. The song arrangement is excellent , very lively. The other songs have their own share of uniqueness, too. Chris Botti and Josh Groban also appeared in the concert.
David Foster who produced the concert was on the piano. He was I think the one who discovered this great talent in the person of Michael Buble. He also is producing Josh Groban's, Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion, Barbara Streisand and a lot more as far as I know. David Foster also arranged many songs in the concert. Many times the crowd gave Michael Buble standing ovations which I think he deserves. He was just so great in his performances in this concert. It was funny after he got down to the crowd and got back to the stage and commented that someone slapped his butt and it was a guy (lol). Michael Buble is just a great great entertainer - very talented.
Below is the list of the songs sung in the concert. 1. "Feeling Good" 2. "Sway" 3. "Try A Little Tenderness" 4. "Fever" 5. "Come Fly With Me" 6. "Moondance" 7. "You Don't Know Me" 8. "For Once In My Life" 9. "You'll Never Find Anothe Love Like Mine" 10. "Summer Wind" 11. "This Love" 12. "Got You Under My Skin" 13. "Home" 14. "More I See You" 15. "Save the Last Dance" 16. "How Sweet It Is" 17. "Crazy Little Thing" 18. "Song For You" 19. "Let It Snow"
The other features of the DVD are:
A Bonus Footage - "Backstage Pass" A Bonus Music Track - "Song for You"
CD Review
I was able to buy the CD first not knowing that is a digipak version of the concert. I loved the album and purchased the DVD and even loved Michael Buble more.
Being a digipak version or compact disk (CD), it only contains selected songs sung in the concert since as we know the memory capacity of a CD is limited. The album has 8 tracks. Although one may find it a short album, I think the songs chosen were the best ones among the songs in the concert - arrangement-wise.
Below is the list of the tracks included in the CD album:
1. Feeling Good 2. Summer Wind 3 .Home 4. You and I 5. The More I See You 6. You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine - (with Laura Pausini) 7. Can't Buy Me Love 8. Smile
No doubt, Michael Buble is one of the most talented music artists we have today and he proved it in this concert and the rest of his albums. I highly recommend this DVD.
