Great great show!, June 9, 2005
This review is from: Seal - Live in Paris (DVD)
Seal tends to have a very specific fan base, but anyone who owns even one Seal album is really going to enjoy this concert. I wasn't expecting a big production, and rightly so. Seal does little more than stand on stage grasping the mike stand as he sings. But this show is not about being a spectacle. It's the music that's on display here, and Seal and his four bandmates do such an incredible job playing these songs. Seal's voice is in top form, and the audience is 150% into the show. I was mesmerized during the entire show!
Most of the songs are from Seal IV and Seal II (1994 album), with a few from Seal I. Sadly, there is only one song on here from Human Being. That album definitely deserves much more exposure. The DVD quality is spectacular. The picture is crystal clear...never have I seen a concert DVD that captures the lighting effects so crisply. There is no bleeding of colors, absolutely zero pixelation! It's almost like being there. The DTS sound is amazing...this is how all concert DVD's should be mixed. I wouldn't be surprised if this DVD has better sound than that venue in Paris did!
One word of warning though. Amazon.com says this DVD package includes an audio CD of 14 tracks from the show. That is incorrect. This only has the DVD (and no special features). The only package that has a CD and DVD is the one that comes in a CD jewel case. Search "Seal Live in Paris" under Amazon's "Popular Music" category. I'd actually recommend buying the 2-disc set, as most of the songs are done with a different arrangement. I wish I'd bought that one instead of the DVD only.
Again, a fantastic concert!

Awesome!, June 8, 2005
This review is from: Seal - Live in Paris (DVD)
My wife and I are big fans of Seal. We have not had the opportunity to see him Live, so needless to say, when we heard that he was about to drop this Live DVD, we jumped on it. Seal does not disappoint at all. The sound is absolutely outstanding. Those audiophiles that are able to listen to the DTS format will be totally pleased. The set list is incredible as he does most of his biggest hits. With this being his first ever Live DVD, not only should he be pleased, but his fans should be also. I highly recommend this to not only fans of Seal, but to people that love music...period.

I always liked Seal's music, this DVD just makes me like him more
The Video quality is very good, with nice close ups and nice lighting, The DTS and Dolby Digital sound is Outstanding great bass and nice dispersion of sound. I highly recommend this DVD to those who Like good music and Seal's brand of Rock mixed with R&B.
