Britney Spears - Live from Las Vegas

Amazon.com

With a November 2001 Las Vegas performance that became an HBO special, Britney Spears headlines a visual spectacle that surpasses even Vegas's stage shows. From the opening "Oops! I Did It Again" to the closing "I'm a Slave 4 U," Spears and her dance troupe athletically romp through a live, life-size, 90-minute music video. There's no musical emphasis (usually the original recordings play while Spears nominally pays attention to what she's supposed to be singing), but that's not the point.

Soft-spoken offstage, Spears becomes someone else entirely in front of an audience: numerous costume changes, a plethora of filmed footage, awesome acrobatics, and a gigantic stage set create the ultimate triumph of visuals over music. During the encore, "Baby One More Time," rain drenches Spears, giving a born entertainer one final opportunity to leave her fans awestruck. The concert was broadcast live to four military bases, and Spears acknowledges the soldiers' service in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. --Kevin Filipski

Very Good Concert!.......2007-06-18

This DVD is actually pretty good. It has the links to either watch the full show or to watch each performance separately.

Britney Spears gives a really good show in this HBO live from Las Vegas presentation. Her songs are very catchy and the cameras are very good on following her and catching good close ups to Britney and her dancers.

This DVD has a really cool beginning, as well as a fun little band video. Britney and her team really ran the extra mile with this concert as it's really entertaining. It has really good choreographed dances, as well as special effects, and lots of costume changes. Also you get to see at least one Elvis there in the mix.

While the show starts with fire explosions and very high teck looking. It ends really cool with rain and a very nice sensual "baby one more time" that I kind of like better than the original one.

It's a fun concert, didn't find any mistakes on this one, defiantly one of Britney's greatest concerts or her time.

OMG, could she be hotter?????? sexier??????.......2007-06-01

Unlike today (May 2007), Britney's public image was riding high at this point and her tight clothes, amazing body and sexy dance moves are completely erotic. She is so unbelievably seductive and sensuous!! Her confidence and energy are infectious.
I just have one question: What in HELL is Jon Voight doing here??????? Jon Voight was famous 10 years before Britney was born, for crying out loud. He's an anachronism here.
But seriously! Not to mention, his little segment was hokey and silly, embarrassing and painful to watch, and it was a distraction from the substance of the rest of the show. Maybe Britney (or her management) was trying too hard to show her wholesome side. No one came to this concert (and no male bought it) to watch Jon Voight read a story to a little girl.
I'm surprised there was no audible booing at that point. I have owned the videotape for some time, but I think the DVD would be even better!
I also strongly recommend her Greatest Hits DVD for sexy alternative versions of some of her videos.

I've seen it all before.............2007-01-09

this tour did nothing for me. I won't lie when I say the visuals were appealing to look at, with britney in her cute clothes and stage sets, but she TOTALLY rips off janet jackson with her dancing, style of dress and so forth, so I don't understand why little teenagers like her and won't give ms. jackson the time of day when she's the one who did it better than her. I got a sense of deja vu when I watched bits of this show, I felt that she purposely stole elements from the janet, velvet rope and all for you tours such as the costumes! Janet's All For You Tour, Madonna's Drowned World Tour and even Michael Jackson's 30th Anniversary concert were far more entertaining in 2001, and way more superior than this garbage. This garbage just goes to show that young & pretty stars are given more attention than those who actually have more talent that shines even without all the special effects in the world.

Dynamic Performer.......2006-08-26

I have to admit to being a new Britney fan. I never got into her work until recently when I was listening to a trance remix of one of her songs and all of a sudden I got her music! Don't say she can't sing...the emotional nuances, the tone, and the true sensuality are all rich. You don't sell fifty million records by just being cute to look at, and you don't have to posses the vocal range of an opera singer to be a good singer.You have to mean what you are doing. That said, this dvd shows off the result of what must be ten years of hard work by someone who seems to be a born performer. It's not all my cup of tea but it's one concert dvd that should be in a lot of peoples collections. All performers in it did a top job.
