If you are a Phil Collins fan you'll love this video. It is a live concert of most of his hits, and the people in his band are incredible. Its worth every penny!!!!

Magnificent performance by Phil and the group. The concert is a high energy performance featuring great video, good sound, and excitement. Several of the older songs are played as well as the newer ones. Great musicians accompany Phil in this unforgetable show in Paris.

If your a Phil Collins fan - this is a MUST HAVE DVD. The lighting and sound quality are outstanding. This is the concert that Direct TV aired as a free-view in Feb 2003.

This concert is amazing in every aspect. Most important, the quality of the performance is unmatched, from the first note of 'Hand In Hand' to the last note of 'Sussudio', none of the tracks have ever sounded better, with the possible exception of 'Another Day In Paradise', of which the 1994 rearrangment was very interesting.

Furthermore, the show is one that you can watch again and again. Phil said in an interview that this was his most enjoyable tour to date, and this truly shows. The musicians are laughing, joking with each other and obviously having a great time. And all the while delivering the most amazing performance... What I wouldn't give to have been there!

The only let down is that only approximately half of the concert is included! Cut-outs are the medley of 'River So Wide', 'Take Me Down' and 'Find A Way To My Heart', the beautiful 'Do You Remember' and 'One More Night' played in the piano section with 'Long Long Way To Go' and the encore including 'Take Me Home'. And that's just some of them.

The full concert would have been awesome, but this 90 minutes takeout is still fantastic. If you're a Collins fan, this is a must, if you don't know him, you could have no better introduction to his music than this. So there's no excuse!

I really recomend this dvd to all phil collins fans. This is the best performance Phil had ever done. Not only does he put out an outstanding performance, but also all the members of the band put out an outstanding performance. It is just great! You won't regret to buy that dvd it's just fenomenal!!!!!!!

Great DVD. The music is great and the selection of songs keep the DVD burning throughout. Collins makes his point by having a series of drum solos that guitars are not the only instrument driving rock. There is good brass to add to the overall sound. There was no prblem with the sound on Dolby 5.1. I enjoyed the sound once I tweaked my amp a bit. listen to it and enjoy. Highly recommended.

Although the "entire" concert is not included, this DVD includes some of the best renditions of some of Phil's greatest work. There is no doubt that Phil is in a class all by himself when it comes to performing. He and his band seem to enjoy every song they perform and improve over past concert tours. Diehard Phil fanatics will enjoy "Long Long Way To Go" and the entire-band-on-the-drums "Timbantiocha," which you know Phil had to love writing. The stamina of Phil is incredible as you shall see throughout the video. A must for all Phil-fans!

This is one of the greatest concerts I've seen! The scenario, the people, the music, the band, and of course Phil Collins as you've never see him before. The lights and all effects were incredible but the quality of the show and songs were even better. Phil Collins has an awesome voice and carisma. He's the best male singer of his generation. I love this DVD from A to Z.

I own lots of Phil Collins music and DVD's. Live and Loose is my favorite Phil Collins DVD. The circular stage gives you 360 degrees of viewing pleasure. This is by far the most energetic performance I have seen by Phil Collins, either live or recorded. The lighting, the sound, the interaction between the band members, the crowd reactions, and Phil's awesome energy makes this a must buy DVD. This DVD is great for viewing or just having on while you do other things around the house. If your budget limits you to only one Phil Collins DVD, this is the one you want to own. None of the others come close. If you like Phil Collins, you will love this DVD.

I waited for six months for this disk. I was so excited when I got home and slipped it into my progressive scan DVD player and cranked up the volume on my Dolby surround receiver. To my amazement, not much happened. The picture was clear, but due to the 5.0 sound mixing on this disk, the center channel is all but silent. It was all I could do to distinguish Phil's singing from the other vocal performers. Alas, this is the only DVD I have found so far with Phil in concert. I can only hope that the Seriously Live VHS tape gets re-mixed to DVD in 5.1 or DTS format some day.
