5.0 out of 5 stars a great live performance!, March 13, 2001

This review is from: Savage Garden - Superstars And Cannonballs: Live And On Tour In Australia (DVD)

I got this DVD as a birthday gift and it's really great. I've been a savage garden fan for years, and that was the first time I could experience them performing live, in concert. Darren is a great performer and sings the whole concert without using a single playback! The concert has 17 musics and memorable moments, such as "Hold me", in which he chooses a fan from the audience to stay with him on the stage, and "chained to you", in which Darren performs a la elvis presley, with some dance routine.

Besides the full concert, this DVD also brings some videoclips, and an interesting documentary about the band ("parallel lives") in which you get to know Darren and Daniel better, to find out they are so different, but equally talented.

There's also 3 multi-angle on selected songs. Using this function, you can choose one, among 4, cameras to watch the performance.

This is a great DVD, and a must-have item for SG fans around the world!

5.0 out of 5 stars You MUST buy this!, June 16, 2001

This review is from: Savage Garden - Superstars And Cannonballs: Live And On Tour In Australia [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Here's what I have to say :

SONG ORDER : 1 - The Best Thing, 2 - Break Me Shake Me, 3 - To The Moon & Back, 4 - The Lover After Me, 5 - I Don't Know You Anymore, 6 - Santa Monica, 7 - Two Beds and a Coffee Machine, 8 - You Can Still Be Free, 9 - The Animal Song, 10 - Hold Me, 11 - Gunning Down Romance, 12 - Crash and Burn, 13 - Truly Madly Deeply, 14 - Chained to You, 15 - I Want You, 16 - I Knew I Loved You, 17 - Affirmation

This is a must buy. Just thinking about it I can't stop grinning like an idiot. Let's see...helpful things to say... I Don't Know You Anymore, Santa Monica, Two Beds and a Coffee Machine, and You Can Still be Free are sang by Darren without back up singers and without the band, except for Daniel. Dan is playing the piano for those four songs.

Darren cuts Santa Monica and Two Beds and a Coffee Machine short by a few parts. But they still sound great!

Gunning Down Romance is one of my favorite, especially the way he performs it. He has just a bit too much fun playing with shadows in it :) Truly Madly Deeply was probably the only disappointment -- it was a duet with the back up singers. It should have been obvious to me that it would be, since he can't sing over himself. But other than that small thing, I LOVED IT! Chained to You was hilarious -- let's just say I never liked guys obsessing over their crotch until Darren did it.

Over all, this was the best purchase I have EVER made. If you never got a chance to see Savage Garden live, this is the best alternative! After the concert there is a documentary. Daniel speaks (as does Darren, but that's not new).

One last note -- THE BEST PART of the whole concert (in my opinion) is during The Animal Song. Just this look on Darren's face is adorable. It's when he's near Daniel and singing "There's so many rules to follow". Tell me if I'm insane, it's quite possible if I am, but I think it's just so cute. Hope this was helpful!

5.0 out of 5 stars A worth buying DVD, February 27, 2001

This review is from: Savage Garden - Superstars And Cannonballs: Live And On Tour In Australia (DVD)

I've been a Savage Garden fan for a long while.... So I bought their first DVD as soon as I saw it on my DVD Store. But I was a bit dissapointed because I only had 5 songs, and no extras at all.

Well, this DVD was kind of a vindication. It not only includes the great concert, but also the other Music videos they released: I Knew I loved You... , Affirmation and Crash and Burn.

You can also find a documentary the group "behind the scene.".

But the option I like the most is the multi angle they include in three songs. You can see those videos from different angles during the concert, so you can play like a video editor, it's really cool.

The video quality is great, also the audio. 5.1 option rocks you out, you feel as if you were there in the middle of the concert.

The only weak point of the DVD is the lack of subtitles in the extra music videos like the first DVD. They ruined my Karaoke...:(

BTW, the DVD is not region 1, it's a multiregion DVD like almost all the Music VIdeo DVDs.
