Editorial Reviews

Deluxe two disc (CD + NTSC/Region 0 DVD) edition of this 2009 live album from the Italian vocalist. Laura Live is her 13th album and the third live album of her career. This exclusive Italian version has a different tracklisting to the Spanish version (also import only) and has additional tracks on the CD and more footage over the stripped back US CD/DVD edition (due January 2010). The CD has 18 tracks, each of them recorded in a different city during her tour and Helsinki gets the honor to open the show as the Intro. The Italian version has different tracks recorded in different towns plus three new tracks recorded live during the soundcheck in Sao Paolo and extra track 'E Poi', a cover of Giorgia's megahit. The DVD has various video clips including 'Un Fatto Ovvio' and extra tracks 'Napule ‚', Sicilian folk song 'Vitti Na Grozza' and a cover of Michael Jackson's 'Heal The World'. Warner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ingenious, January 24, 2010

This review is from: Laura Live World Tour 09: Italian Version (CD/DVD) (PAL/Region 2) (Audio CD)

When most singers release live albums, it is simply a recording of one or two nights on stage - a drop in the proverbial bucket of touring. Rather than submit to this format (which she used on her previous three concert DVDs), Italian pop superstar Laura Pausini tried something new: she taped nearly every show she performed and released a song or two from each location. Instead of capturing one moment in time, she managed to present several moments from her most recent Primavera in Anticipo World Tour.

"Laura Live World Tour 09" is the result of this ingenious plan. Like most of Pausini's other live releases, it comes as both a CD and a DVD, though the tracklists are quite different. Whether you get the Spanish or Italian version, the DVD consists of songs performed in both languages, though the majority of this one is, appropriately, in Italian. Opening with 'Invece No' live from around the world, each track is introduced by its location and then a delightful performance. The actual filming is quite nice, with effects to make the music more powerful and a brilliant capturing of the essence of the venue. And the music is a good collection of Pausini's many hits - every single one of her albums is represented in some form at the show.

Then there are the extras - and Laura Pausini has certainly not skimped on these! Her four most recent music videos are here ('Un Fatto Ovvio', 'Con La Musica Alla Radio', 'Non Sono Lei', and 'Casomai'), along with two making of the video featurettes ('Con La Musica Alla Radio' and 'Non Sono Lei'). There's also a behind-the-scenes look at the tour, as well as several rare tracks that were performed at different stops. 'E Poi', a song by Giorgia, was sung at Pausini's Rome stop where the other Italian star was in attendance; 'Paris au Mois d'Aout' is a duet with her father, Fabrizio Pausini; 'Napule E' was performed in Naples; 'Vitti Na Crozza', a traditional Sicilian tune, was sung in Palermo; and 'Heal the World', a tribute to Michael Jackson, was done in many cities. And, like the concert, it all is subtitled in English, Spanish, and Italian.

The CD is slightly different. Since this is the Italian version of the set, the CD is entirely in that language, so some of the versions are different from those on the DVD version. In addition, the tracklist is different. While they weren't featured on the DVD, mega-hits like 'La Solitudine' and 'Resta in Ascolto' are in fact on the CD. I'm not quite sure why the two differ so much, other than the fact that Pausini may have wanted to simply include more music than there was room for.

There have been some questions posted about whether this set is in NTSC/Region 1/Region 0 format or PAL/Region 2 format. Since I have a region-free DVD player, I can't answer that. I can, however, give those of you interested a bit of a warning: the disc took nearly two months to arrive. Despite the fact that Amazon has consistently presented this item as if it is in stock, that has not actually been the case. Mine was pre-ordered back in early November and Amazon was unable to locate a copy until January 15. For me it was well worth the wait, but some of you may find it annoying.

Overall, despite the mix of languages on the "Italian" edition and a different CD/DVD tracklist, I absolutely love "Laura Live". Pausini is truly an extraordinary performer, and as she is still virtually unknown here in the majority of the US, this has been my only chance to see her "live". And since she has announced a two-year break from touring, it will tide me over until her next release.

The CD is great. The quality of the songs is outstanding. Her voice is crystal clear and it sounds like you are actually there. It could have had a few more songs on it though. None of the medleys are included.

The DVD is not so good. Laura appears in about 25% of the video. The rest is shots of the band, backup vocalists, and a whole lot of the audience. It also suffers from changing scenes every five seconds or so. It is quite distracting. If you want an example of how it should be done look up her performance of "Tra te e il mare" from the Italian show Due on YouTube.

What made this a three-star rating rather than a four-star was the selection of songs. "Non c'e" and "Resta in ascolto" are not there. For some inexplicable reason "Strani amori" and the medley that includes "Gente", "Il mio sbaglio piu grande", and "Bellissimo cosi" are in Spanish rather than Italian. "Bellissimo cosi" proved to be popular enough that in later concerts she performed it in it's entirety, yet it is only part of a medley here. At least she finally did a live performance of "Due innamorati come noi" which is one of her best songs ever.

I'm satsified with my purchase, but it could have been better. I would recommend her Paris concert if you can find a copy.
