Just to clarify, this Blu-ray disc does play on US machines. This concert is the best Blu-ray showcase my TV has ever put out. Perfect mastering crystal sharp with the exception of a few audience closeup shots that are apalling (I think it was some different camera format in the crowd of people that couldnt be fixed). At first I thought this band was a little cheap because they do a lot of covers and ballads, but they really have grown on me. Everybody sounds great, although something is wrong with Stephen Gately's singing. He sounds weak at times, forced at times and just not as cool as he sounded 10 years ago on the albums. This is a pretty big production with at least 8 female dancers, lots of props and more lights than any concert I've ever seen which might be why it looks so spectacular in HD. They also fly over the audience and shoot out of toasters. You also see them shirtless for the entire "Going Gets Tough" song and they sing on treadmills. My favorite songs are "Picture of You' "All That I Need' and 'Love Me For A Reason". I wish the "Where We Belong" album had been bigger in the US but what can you do. Their new single, "Love Is A Hurricane" is cool and a new rougher sound kind of like when Backstreet Boys came out with the "Never Gone" album. Get this Blu-ray!!

Overall I enjoyed so much of the choice of song they brought back to the Audience. I was very satisfied with the clarity of the Blu Ray.
The only part which dissapointmented me so much was the Choreography of the Female Dancers, it is almost like watching a striptease dancing..If ever they decide to go to a national tour I wish they would redo the Choreography which would coordinate with the song. I love the song "When you say Nothing at all" but the Choreography was very tasteless..
