I discovered SIA while looking for unique music to cover on a demo cd. When I listened to her I could not believe she wasn't global yet. I have had the absolute pleasure of offering her style and energy to others that haven't yet heard her. It is one thing to HEAR her and quite another to see her "live", on this dvd. Her passion is a glaring example of why I love her like I do. She is in total surrender to her music during performance and I just wish I could actually SEE her in person working her magic. Get this !!! Watch this !!! Experience her and just see if what I am saying is not the truth. You will not be sorry. See her now, before she conquers the world of music, and you can say you discovered her for you and your friends before anyone else.

I love Sia. I have just about every one of her songs, and love all her videos on YouTube. But this DVD sorely disappointed me. Compared to every other live performance of hers that I've seen, these have very little energy, virtually no real interaction with the audience, and her voice is strained and weak compared to the power and emotion she usually shows. This is a waste of money.

This is a great concert DVD of Sia with additional footage and music videos. I've become a big fan of Sia's in the past year, but also have built a 5.1 home theatre system that I wanted to test this DVD on. Great way to enjoy live music from the comfort of your living room couch.

Put the music aside. Put the imagery aside. Put the backstage antics of crew and band aside. If you hold any one part of this video dear to you it should be this: she's the genuine article.

Now add in the other parts, reconstituting them on the warmth of that--in this plasticine age--rarest commodity and you have something worth keeping.

This video makes you believe in musicians as people and artists, rather than celebrities, again.

This DVD is a must have for Sia fans. I love how she gets into character for each song- it's amazing how her live singing matches the affectations that she used for her studio releases. Her band is first rate. A word of caution- some of the chit chat between songs contains adult language.

The picture is satisfactory- it's a little fuzzy, but it is only DVD quality. I wish it were released in blu-ray. The music is fairly well recorded. I only listened to it in 2.0 channel stereo, so I can't comment on the 5.1 channel mix. Overall, the sound is a little fuzzy (as you would expect from a "live" performance), but the vocals are nicely recorded. There's plenty of sweet midrange in Sia's voice.

Sia, if you're reading this and ever need a place to stay if you come to the Raleigh, NC area, my wife and I would love for you to be our guest!
