Much can be said about today's artists and the assembly-line fashion in which they are produced, packaged and marketed. Thankfully, Beyonce is not from that mold. The test of any great musical performer is how well their performance can hold up in front of a live audience, away from the safety of music video magic. The Beyonce Experience is one of those rare live performances where if you weren't convinced of the hype surrounding an artist beforehand -- you will be afterwards.

I saw this concert live in Chicago, IL and it was wonderful to find this DVD; it captures every moment of that amazing concert experience. Unlike others where the show relies heavily on stage production and quick edits to hide the weakness of the performance, The Beyonce Experience is one of those rare concert video's that put you right in the experience using camera angles that allow you to actually SEE THE PERFORMANCE.

From the opening in which Beyonce asks her Los Angeles audience, "...are you ready to be entertainnnnnneeeddd!!!," The Beyonce Experience is a magnum opus of all the great work she's compiled throughout the years as lead singer in Destiny's Child to her present solo efforts. Although brief, this concert DVD features brief guest appearances by Jay-Z, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Beyonce brings the heat with every track with exceptional performances on: Crazy in Love, Flaw's N All, Irreplaceable, Jumpin' Jumpin' and Soldier. Even the interludes by her all female band and her dance troupe are crowd pleasers.

The Blu-Ray image is presented in beautiful 1080p and a 1:78.1 aspect ratio so if you have a 16:9 widescreen television (or digital projector in my case); it fills your screen completely without letterboxing. The Dolby 5.1 sound substantially captures her vocals, the music and the crowd's excitement. The PCM audio will drive the neighbors to call the police on you because of the explosive sound quality. For the Blu-Ray fans who like all those fancy little extras, sorry you'll be disappointed. The video is a direct port of the DVD version. Even still, running at a lengthy two hours and ten minutes, for the price this is hands down one of the best concert experiences any artist has ever offered. It's a must for any MUSIC FAN and Beyonce fan alike.

I would like to first admit that I am a fan of this artist, but for those that are not fans; this would be an excellent collection to any Blu-ray set. It sort of angers me this is only available through certain retailers because this is truly a treasure. I have quite a few Blu-ray concerts, and this is probably in the top 3. The video production is wonderful - very crisp and colorful on screen. The audio is top notch as well, and it's great to see a live performance throughout the concert. This is an artist that truly describes the word. She captivates the audience (and the viewer if I may say so) to sing along with and dance with her every move. Some of my favorite performances are: Suga Mama, Naughty Girl and Suga Mama. I know a lot of fans of Jay-Z and Destiny's Child will also be excited since all three "extras" make an appearance on the disc.

A must-have blu-ray title! Excellent audio and video with an almost complete line-up of songs from Beyoncé.

I have previewed a number of Blu-Ray music videos lately and I would rank Beyonce Live as one of the tops. The quality of the production is excellent with shots ranging from beautiful close ups of her and great stage shots of her performing troupe.

The video production in Blu-ray brings up how truly beautiful and talented she really is. You know how good the performer is when you see a live performance. Beyonce really delivers in this video and makes it look easy. She dances as good or even better than her backup dancers while delivering excellent vocals. You will be able to witness the energy of her fine,live performance.

If you have a sound system the recording of the music, sounds concert like. I have an older-tube hd TV running the video at 1080i and the video reproduction remains great.

I recommend a buy for this Blu-ray of Beyonce; you will not regret your purchase.

Rated 5 stars. Great picture and sound quality. Beyoncé is so great! I live in Norway, It's region free, it plays on my ps3/blu-ray player bought in Norway.

This is one of the best concert DVDs I've ever seen. The production quality is outstanding, with the hard work that's gone into the variety of different numbers, and Beyonce over-delivers as always in a world-class performance. Seeing stunning clarity and energy captured on blu-ray from one of the world's top performers is a memorable experience; I've re-watched this dvd many times - it's great.

On this dvd, my favorite tracks are deja vu, get me bodied, check on it, naughty girl, baby boy, beautiful liar, and crazy in love. Sensational work ethic and performance from everyone, B and the dancers and band did a great job delivering a high energy concert - worth watching many times. The showmanship on this is outstanding, the energy and excitement are fun to watch, and this is a great dvd. Thx to Beyonce and team for doing it right... nice job!

The Beyonce Experience Live [Blu-ray]

Truly, BeyOnCe is the greatest performer I've ever watched. I own a lot of Concert DVD and I could say that this concert experience showed what the true entertainment is. From the Opening till the end she gave her best. The stage was really conceptualized to fit on each of the song and her personality, there were no dull performance. The Light Effects on the stage made the concert so Fabulous and Amazing and I think that's what made the concert Great. Another thing she doesn't forget where she came from, From being in a Girl group (Destiny's Child) and She still sang their hit songs, even though she has her own already. Personally my favorite prod here was the Get me Bodied, the routine impressed me lot, the costumes, the routines, her sexiness and her being artistic. So the Question is ARE YOU READY TO BE ENTERTAIN ??? Well if you want, grab a copy of this from Amazon !!!

Wow this concert was one of the best I've seen. it is worth every penny. The video is window perfect, and the sound just amazed me. I felt as if I was there. Beyonce really knows how to give a true great show all around!!!! Highly Recommended!!!!

The Beyoncé Experience - Live!
This woman is absolutely amazing and hardworking. Even when off-stage to change clothes she leaves the audience with something to do. And those changes are perfectly placed too! Beyoncé's voice is incredible as shown by many songs but REALLY shown in "Dangerously In Love 2". Her ability to dance SO hard, giving her all, and to sing at the same time is AMAZING! This is truly an Experience...
