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

5.0 out of 5 stars VIVA LAS BRITNEY March 30, 2002

By A Customer

Format:DVD

Britney Spears has always been one of my favourite performers. Her albums are always so funky, her videos are always so ... and she always puts so much energy into her performances. Okay, so she may lip-sync every now and then, but that's not to say she isn't a damn good entertainer, and this DVD proves it. Singing all of her hits and the best bits of her albums, Britney's Las Vegas Show is a tour de force and is sooooo much more than your average concert, it's a show.

She opens with former No.1 single "OOPS I DID IT AGAIN", tied to a spinning wheel she rotates for the first verse, before coming on to the large stage to finish. She follows it up with (YOU DRIVE ME) CRAZY,.... OVERPROTECTED follows. Dressed in a very ... catsuit-type attire she puts plenty of oomph into one of the freshest and funkiest tunes of the show. Next is the enjoyable medley of BORN TO MAKE YOU HAPPY / LUCKY / SOMETIMES. She is dressed quite scantily, and that's always appreciated. BOYS, one of her more different sounding tunes, allows Spears to put her ... to good use, as she writhes around on stage and interacts, quite intimately, with her dancers. STRONGER and NOT A GIRL, NOT YET A WOMAN come after this. I LOVE ROCK 'N' ROLL is one of the more energetic performances as she pips away on a raised platform, before she hangs from the ceiling mid-air, in a stunt you could see the Backstreet Boys or NSync pulling off. Her urban influenced track WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ME has plenty of synchronized dancing and energy. LONELY would have to be one of the better performances as she interacts with a computer generated version of herself, seen on a big screen. The song is almost like a duet. Very cool. Ballad DON'T LET ME BE THE LAST TO KNOW gives Britney time to breathe in a rather uninspired performance which is very lifeless and in this she sounds like a drag queen. Sorry Ms Spears, this was the shows' downfall. She picks up the pace with the cheery pop tune ANTICIPATING. Plenty of colour, this peformance is vibrant and very much for the young. She incorporates the audience into this one, by asking them to sing along and clap their hands to the chorus. This all changes when she strips off to a tiny, shimmery skirt and green bra top, basically what she wore at the 2001 MTV's, minus the snake, for the pumped up performance of I'M A SLAVE 4 U. This is an awesome performance with plenty of heat and no doubt her male fans will have a field day, thanks to Spears' bust and her attire. You'll see what I mean. After thanking everyone for coming out, she appears back on for an alternative take on her biggest hit to date, BABY ONE MORE TIME. This is where she is drenched in a shower of rain for the performance which is not the ...BABY, we remember hearing. But seeing a wet Spears is satisfactory enough.

I strongly recommend this to any Britney fan. You'll have fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not ashamed to admit it! Britney is HOT! January 9, 2002

By Jason

Format:DVD

I happened to be going to a conference in Vegas the week that Britney was performing at the MGM Grand. I heard Rosie O'Donnel Say on her show that she had just got tickets for the Britney show in Vegas on the 18th of November. Not paying much attention I quickly forgot all about it. The following day I got bored at work and while daydreaming I remembered what Rosie had said and thought, what the heck, "I'll check out the ticket prices", Figuring that they would be sold out for sure and I had no idea of when they went on sale. Much to my surprise they still had seats available, so I (just to see) typed in 2 seats and I could not believe that the seats were really good and not high priced considering what I have paid recently for concert tickets, like for Madonna. (well worth it though).
Anyway, bought the tickets, went to the show and although compared to the majority of those around me, I felt like a grandpa(I am 30). Even so, as much as I tried to act my age, before I knew it, I was up on my feet and feeling the energy.
I was not expecting much and have to say was embarrased to admit to anyone at home that I was even going. After her incredible show, I have admited to everyone that I am a fan of Britney Spears and you will be too, I guarantee it! I am sure the DVD will be less powerful than seeing it live, but just feel her amazing energy and see her for what she is, A young woman living out her dreams and allowing us to tag along! AMAZING!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oops!...She did it in Vegas! April 1, 2002

By Alex Hutchins

Format:DVD

Yes, pop star Britney Spears has another DVD out this year. Besides past "Live and More", "Britney The Videos" and "Time out with...". This one takes the taco. Britney performs her "Dream Within A Dream" 2001 tour LIVE at the MGM Grand Garden Arena - November 2001. The MGM has seen its share of great artists. Barbra Streisand held her Millennium Concert there.

This concert is spectacular for all Spears fans. The choreography, the back-up track, the special effects, and the whole thing. Britney performes hits from her 3 albums "...Baby One More Time", "Oops!...I Did It Again", and "Britney". Britney has never disapointed me, and for that, she has millions of fans. Recently her little mishap in the UK didn't help for her persona, but, who can blame her. I'd be the same way!

"OOPS!...I DID IT AGAIN"
This number opens the concert. It is naturally lip-sunc, but if you listen closely you can hear Britney sing a little. It's a great start.

"(YOU DRIVE ME) CRAZY"
Remixed. Britney usually opens with this number. She tackles this one with tuns of dance moves and all pure Britney.

"OVERPROTECTED"
The newest single for the USA. This is performed as the album version. This is my favorite track off of the "Britney" album.

"MEDLEY:"
a) Born To Make You Happy
b) Lucky
c) Sometimes
This Medley basically gets rid of the "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!...I Did It Again" album hits. It's nice to have a Britney medley!

"BOYS"
This is a FUNKY song. It's a R&B-type dance track. Britney is very sexy.

"STRONGER"
One of my most favorite songs. The dancing is increadible!

"I'M NOT A GIRL, NOT YET A WOMAN"
Britney sang A LITTLE BIT on this track. It's very beautiful.

"I LOVE ROCK 'N' ROLL"
This is more fast than the album version. It's funky.

"WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ME"
The Britney-Justin song, since they recently broke up I'm sure she's not very thrilled about it. I like what it has to say.

"LONELY"
This track or "Boys" is bound to be a single off of the album.

"DON'T LET ME BE THE LAST TO KNOW"
My absolute favorite Britney song. I wish she would have performed it because she can perform the hell out of it!

"ANTICIPATING"
A Disco-type track. It's in a CRAYOLA type of background.

"I'M A SLAVE 4 U" (Encore)
Very sexy and better than the album version. It's like the MTV Music Awards 2001.

"...BABY ONE MORE TIME" (Encore)
This BIG-WET encore. A nice end to the show!

For the retards out there that think Britney won't be around for a long time...THINK AGAIN. She'll always be around. I LOVE YOU BRITNEY!
