5.0 out of 5 stars Truely the Best Damn DVD!!!, September 10, 2008

This review is from: Avril Lavigne: The Best Damn Tour - Live In Toronto (DVD)

This DVD is awesome!!! I went to Avril's concert twice, once in Chicago and then a month later in Tampa both times had VIP tickets so I was right at the front of the stage. This DVD is the entire concert from start to finish just how I saw it in person. The advantage of this DVD is that you can see the show from many different angles and perspectives that you cant see live since your stuck in one spot. If you loved the concert you will love this DVD even more, truely the Best Damn DVD of the Best Damn Tour!!!
The only let down is there are no extras like was originally anticipated such as video from behind the scenes and all the album music videos, such as the Best Damn thing, which to my knowledge has not been released on any DVD as of this time

This is the concert line up:

Girlfriend

I Can Do Better

Complicated

My Happy Ending

Im With You

I Always Get What I Want

Best Damn Dance Break

When You're Gone

Innocence

Don't Tell Me

Hot

Losing Grip

Bad Reputation Video Montage

Everything Back But You

Avril on Drums

The Best Damn Thing

I don't Have To Try

He Wasn't

Girlfriend ( Remix )

Sk8er Boi

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely overdubbed: Not LIVE at all! The Best Damn Re-recorder Tour!, October 5, 2008

By

This review is from: Avril Lavigne: The Best Damn Tour - Live In Toronto (DVD)

I was looking forward to seeing this DVD but was disappointed right from the start. The audio is completely overdubbed, which means that after the recording of the show they went and re-recorded almost all of Avril's vocals, and some of the guitars too. You're not really hearing the live recording of the show; you're hearing a studio recording made after the show. This means that the producers or label were very unhappy with the quality of the actual live recording and re-did it to make it as perfect as possible. There's nothing new about overdubbing a live performance, in fact it's quite common, but it's usually done to get rid of blatant mistakes. In this case it's been used to mask the entire actual performance. It was hard to find an example, with the exception of some of the dialog between songs, where the actual vocals were being used. How bad could her performance have been? When we buy a live DVD or CD, we don't expect perfection. We expect a few bumps along the way. What we lose in imperfection, we make up for in the drama, spontaneity, passion, and reality of a real person performing live, and singing live. The idea that Avril had to go back into a studio and sync re-recorded voacals to what appears to be EVERY song in the concert is appalling and a slap in the face to her fans. Is The Best Damn Tour (Live In Toronto) really the best that Avril has to offer her fans?

In some places the new audio has overdubbed parts of the song where the backing vocals from the other members of her band have been removed and were never put back in. You have people singing on stage with nothing coming out of their mouths. It's pathetic. If you just want to look at Avril (she does look great) and don't really care what you hear, then you might like this. But I say forget it. Maybe her next concert CD or DVD will really be live and not a fake, which is what this is. Avril, you should be ashamed of yourself for releasing this as it is. You should show a little more respect for your fans.

This is one of the best concert dvds I've ever seen. The quality is awesome and there's a lot of energy in the air. If you're an Avril fan you will find yourself watching this over and over again. If you're not an Avril fan I still think you will like this DVD, that's how good it is.
