Although the music is good, I was very disappointed that it took until 2002 to release this DVD and it wasn't in Dolby Digital 5.1. His VHS tapes were better. Wait until they produce it in 5.1.

I am so glad to finally see this show out on DVD! I have waited a long time for it. When I first saw this on MTV, I was just stunned by the quality of musicianship, sound, and production. Bryan Adams is truly a great musician and he brilliantly surrounds himself with even more to pull off a stunning performance! I can't recommend this dvd enough. The cd is one of my favorites, now I can finally watch the show.

"Back To You" is one of my alltime favorite songs now. It just makes you feel good.

I have really come to enjoy the unplugged atmosphere. The indoor concerts sound so much better when transferred to DVD than a large stadium concert. Bryan and his band (original members from the late 80's are all here) are at their peak and you feel like they are in your living room. This isn't a 3 musician set. It's a very full sound with an entire orchestra to help.
Some people, however, may not care for this DVD. There are many of his top songs missing from this. It does however include Summer of '69, Heaven, Cuts Like a Knife, Can't Stop this Thing We Started, etc. Because of the unplugged effect, some of his songs sound rather "bluesy" but more important is you can tell his band is having fun.
Buy it as these MTV Unplugged series are going up in value. Many others are out of print and I'm sure this one will also be soon.

If you grew up during the 80s like I did, Bryan Adams is one of the icons of your favorite era of music. From "Summer of '69" to "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," Bryan Adams and his music encompass a great deal of what was magical about the music during the 1980s and early 1990s. This DVD revisits a lot of those memories from the 80s while demonstrating the reason why he continues to entertain audiences today. Besides reliving the past, this DVD demonstrates the wonderful musical talents of "The Dudes of Leisure." I am a big fan of MTV's Unplugged series, and this particular episode demonstrates how this format can bring the best out of a band. Every BA fan should have this DVD in their collection, and any fan of this style of music will be very much entertained.

Love this DVD. Watched it 4 times already and it is as good as the first time. I compared the songs performed on his unplugged set to their original counterparts and all the songs sound entirely different, which why I am such a fan of unplugged performances.

Best songs performed on this DVD are "Summer of 69", "Can't Stop This Thing We Started", "I'm Ready", "Back To You", and "18 Til I Die".

Worth every penny. Please get it!

OK, so its like when you see the younger bands in concert for months altogether and quietly and suddenly the established artist brings out something like this - you know that you can tell the difference. The only thing that I didn't like was his newer version of 'Fits you good'. Those who have heard the original version will probably agree. Besides that one minor glitch, its just an awesome performance.

This unplugged is a work of art. "Heaven" and "Back To You" are especially magical. I've been an Adams fan since I was a wee tike and this reaffirms all my love for the music he creates.

I was not used to buying Musical DVDs and brought this one to cross the 25$ mark for availing free shipping. I was amazed with the quality of the sound heard through the DTS out and also realised that all these years I was missing listening to live shows. This is Bryan at his best and listening to this DVD make you feel that you are listening to him live. Each and every instrument can be heard separately and both the video and audio recording is outstanding. The involvement of all the members in the troop on instruments and vocal is well captured and I found very difficult to realise that I was not with them atleast as a spectator. Watching this DVD also made me realise that my investment on a Harman Kardon receiver and Klipsch speakers were more than justified. A must buy for any music lover.

Unplugged albums just don't come any better than this excellent show of Bryan & band performing some of his biggest hits as well as some never before heard songs, all pants down. The atmosphere in New York's Hammerstein Ballroom seemns like that of a living room. Simply the best unplugged video ever!
