I was very fortunate to see Seu Jorge perform last year. It was a very special experience and I lingered in a pleasant, post-show Seu Jorge hangover for quite some time. This dvd of his concert at Montreux is very true to the experience I had. This dvd primarily consists of an acoustic set with many songs that were originally recorded on Cru. The music is pure, simple, raw, and gorgeous, which only adds to the soul and dramatic demeanor of Seu Jorge. This concert will give you an excellent feel for why this guy rocks, and is one of the most talked about artists on the international scene.

I'm new to the music of Seu Jorge but absolutely LOVE him and his music and have been ordering all that I can! I highly recommend! Beautiful and funky Brazilian music. I guarantee you will enjoy!

As a big fan of Seu Jorge, I was disappointed at myself for waiting so long to get this DVD. I was very pleased with it. However, if you get a chance to purchase the Ana Carolina & Seu Jorge concert, that to me, has a far more personal touch versus the Montreux Jazz Festival. I got the vibe that Seu Jorge was somewhat "unknown" to the French/European scene (although I may be wrong), and felt that his performance was rushed. The one with Ana Carolina is very personal, and even has extra performances after the concert at a little bar where they sing old Brazilian songs. It's a different portrayal of an "artist" and it's very refreshing.

So, if you're just getting into Seu Jorge, or Brazilian music in general, this is a GREAT dvd. Other than that, I think there are other sources that can be tapped into. <3 u Seu Jorge!

Wow, I saw this man in concert and was floored!! It's amazing how a five guy band can sound so great!! I've heard many versions of Tive Razao on other Seu Jorge CDs but he nails it on the DVD live version! And the acoustic performance is so enchanting. You don't need to understand a word of portuguese to enjoy this concert! If you've seen City of God you know how talented this man is! He can act and sing and to it all!
