I'll be honest with you. I love his music. I do. I'm a Michael Bolton fan.

For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings 'When a Man Loves a Woman'.

This is by far Michael Bolton's best DVD concert to date. Eagle Eye HD inc. has gotten the closest to capturing the actual concert experience. With the HD picture and sound quality that was recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound it will really connect with your home theatre system. These are some of the clearest vocal performances he's ever laid down and the venue is georgeous. Show stoppers include new song One Love, When a man loves a Woman, Hope It's too late, Nessun Dorma, Thats Life and and incredible vulnerable and powerfully depicted cover of Van morrision's Crazy Love-- in my opinion this is the definitive version now! You will not be dissapointed with over two hours of content and in depth interview and of course Michael Bolton at his best!

The acoustics at the Royal Albert Hall is fantastic and the audio on this Blu Ray does not disappoint. The choice of Dolby 5.1 or HD DTS brings to you the full theater experience, with Michael Bolton and his band rendering a sterling performance.

Although the video is 1080i, it's definitely one of the crispest Blu Ray concerts that I have seen! The video is certainly rendered close to 1080p quality - there is virtually no noise (sparkles).

As an added bonus, this Blu Ray comes with an 8 page color booklet/sleeve notes filled with generous photos of the concert and a "centerfold" of the full band.

This Blu Ray is now my number one choice for showing off my home theater!

Yet another great concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Well done Michael Bolton! 5 Stars!

The vocals are excellent and also his large band as well. The High Definition video and Dolby 5.1 sound is about as good as it gets. Many cameras were used to thoroughly capture this great concert.
A very good mix of some 'Vintage' songs, old 'Classics' and his popular cuts. This is probably Michael captured at his BEST.

This blue ray is one of the best conceive of all.
Image is pristine and master audio sound is superb.
If you are a fan of Mr. Bolton, this is a MUST HAVE.
If you're not a fan, I'm sure you'll star being one after you see this concert.
The band is magnificent and the voice is flawless.
Enjoy.

Personal Note: I have in my collection 3 concerts of Mr. Bolton and my favorite song it's not in neither one of them: "Completely".

I OWN MORE THAN 50 BLU-RAY CONCERTS....AND THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES BECAUSE OF THE PERFECT SOUND AND PICTURE QUALITY.

This concert sounds good in stereo and looks good, too. Unfortunately, all DVD functions do not work. I tried many times to get this to work as far as any function like selecting dts,etc. It would only play in stereo, which is a shame. It did sound fairly good in stereo, but that was not what i bought this for. I have a 8.1 home theater system and I had hoped for more than just stereo. The player that would only play in stereo is a brand new Oppo BDP-SE top of the line SACD/Bluray player. It has done well with all other discs, but this one. My other player is a lap top entertainment pc HP dv7. It refused to play it at all, saying I needed to put a disc in. I do like a lot of Michael Bolton's songs and have many concerts from Royal Albert Hall, so was looking forward to this one.
