5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta Know, Gotta See -- What Is He Building in There?!, July 27, 2008

This review is from: The Time Machine Tour (DVD)

I need not proclaim or laud Hayes for his musical talent or artistic evolution. It is 2008; either one knows of Darren and finds him a genius or, as has been the case with most of my peerage, he's an undiscovered gem. For those in the latter category, this is an *excellent* stone from which to step. On this superbly captured closing night of The Time Machine Tour, Darren Hayes does that which so many of his fans thought wholly impossible: he improves upon perfection.

My advice to you?
Buy this DVD; see the man in all of his glory; build your own time machine (or, if you'd rather, simply put the disc on "repeat") so that you can relive the wonder.

WHAT'S MASTERFUL --
+ Hayes's fantastically unique (and well-trained) voice
+ The tour's beautifully designed video projections
+ Darren's energy & enthusiasm
+ The simple yet stylish choreography
+ The crew's lighting design
+ The artist's larger-than-life (not to mention disco-fied) paper crane

WHAT'S MEDIOCRE --
- The disc's "extras"... or lack thereof
- The number of costume changes (one)

WHAT'S MISCARRIED --
X Darren's almost anti-climatic entrance
X The fact that Amazon.com doesn't post a set-list (I'll help you out with this one :D)

5.0 out of 5 stars Darren, Thank You For Giving Us Your Best Concert Ever On DVD, May 8, 2008

This review is from: The Time Machine Tour (DVD)

When I first heard Darren Haye's first solo album "Spin" I always assumed that he would have a better carrier solo than with Savage Garden. Well afew years past and I really didn't hear much from him.
Then in 2007 I was flipping thru the channels and I ended up on LOGO and I saw this incredible music video (with this awesome song). The weird thing was that the singer looked and sounded so familiar to me. It turned out that it was Darren with his music video "On the Verge of Something Wonderful." I immediately ran on the computer went on amazon.com and bought his CD "This Delicate thing We've Made." When I got it I couldn't stop listening to it it was smart, clever, and I think HIS BEST CD EVER!!!
Now, I know most of you who are reading this are wondering what the Hell this has to do with the concert, but, one of my friends had the pleasure of seeing him in concert and he told me that the show was great. The best song he performs is "Casey"(which is coincidentally the best song on the CD) and that he compared it to a Madonna show (only it was a little more intimate).
If you like Darren it would be extremely wise for you to get this DVD. Oh, and if you want to see Darren in concert check out the Savage Garden DVD "Live and on Tour in Australia."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have to go back in time with...., August 2, 2008

Darren is one of those artists who never fails to disappoint in live performance, and he can pull off a great show no matter the size of the venue, and number of people in the audience.
The Time Machine Tour proved he could pull off a show that most artists would dare only do in an arena type environment. With help from Willie Williams (who has done set designs etc for U2 and the like), Darren proves he can have the show of his dreams & keep the audience entertained at the same time.
The show shows off some tracks from his recent cd release "This Delicate Thing We've Made" along with tracks from his previous solo releases plus some Savage Garden songs too. Just over 2 hours of live performance which will take you back in time, and you will want to go back in time again and again.
