Movie Reviews of The Corrs - Live in London
Movie Review: Gotta Love the Corrs!
Summary: 4 Stars
Nice sound and very entertaining; although, their live performance is lacking in comparison to their remastered work. Live, the voice and band quality just aren't up to par, and the music mixing quality is lacking as well. The violin solo in excellent! I just love the creative video graphics!Movie Review: Corrs- live in London dvd review

I love this dvd. The sound and video quality of this one is good. I felt this is a good buy.Movie Review: Weakest of the Corrs videos
Summary: 3 Stars
If you're here shopping for a Corrs concert DVD, then you are already a fan and are probably trying to decide which one to get. My recommendation would be Lansdowne Road as first choice, followed by Albert Hall, and this one (London) last. All three DVD's have different advantages and disadvantages. This one is the newest, so it has more features than the others and it has some of their newer material. BUT, the videography makes for a frustrating watching experience. A big part of the beauty of the Corrs is that their music and their skill stand on their own. The "fancy" camera work that the London dvd is very heavy on seriously detracts from the enjoyable experience of watching this concert. Lets face it, you don't know or care who produced these dvds and what their video "style" is...you buy them to see and hear the Corrs. If I wanted a music video, I'd be watching MTV. So why, every three minutes or so, do they have to turn black and white? Do closeups of Andrea's nostrils contribute to my enjoyment of the group? This concert is shot in a bizarre style. Lots of very tight closeups (partial faces), frequent cuts, frequent cuts to slow motion and/or black and white, and odd camera angles. Again, all of this is just distracting. If you must have Breathless and the In Blue hits, or want to collect all the Corrs concerts, then this is worthwhile. But both Albert Hall and Lansdowne are more enjoyable concerts to watch. I have a review posted of Lansdowne (far and away the best) if you want my two cents on it. Albert Hall is also a nice DVD, with a more intimate setting, excellent audio, Mick Fleetwood and more traditional video technique. But the London DVD is just too distracting.Movie Review: horrible video editing makes it a long Music Video instead of a concert
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this after a friend sent me a clip of the Corrs performing somewhere. I loved the clip, and hoped to "get to know" the band better by getting this full-concert DVD.
Alas, the editing of the DVD video is the tired, way-overused format used for "music videos" on MTV. There were at least 5 or 6 cameras, and in the edited final product, no particular shot holds for more than about 3 or 4 seconds. As a result, this isn't a "concert", it's a long, long Music Video.
You're whiplashed back and forth between the back of the audience, super close-ups of various of the beautiful performers, close-ups of instruments, etc., with no chance at all to get any sense of intimacy or "presence". They also stir in a mess of extra video tricks such as shifting from color to black&white even during the same 3-second shot, going to slow-motion partway through a 4-second shot, and on and on.
The performers are beautiful, the musicianship is wonderful, the musical arrangements are upper-middle-of-the-road for the most part, the audio is great... but the video editing belongs to what some video editors call the "Look at me!! I'm Editing" school of MTV-influenced triteness.
Movie Review: SAVE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE.
Summary: 2 Stars
The ladies are lovely, the lyrics are sensational, but the sound track is horrible. Like listening with two paper cups over your ears. The levels are all wrong. The sound engineers need to remix. Maybe you can tweek your sound system and get better performance. I couldn't.
Save your money on this one and go buy their Live at the Royal Albert Hall DVD or Blue CD, both are quality productions.
My apologies to Jim, Sharon, Caroline, and little Andrea.
