Our two year old daughter recently discovered The Wiggles (Going Bananas and You Make Me Feel Like Dancing being her favorites), so when I saw this was being released I pre-ordered without even knowing what it was. Well, here's what it is: a concert taping of The Wiggles performing in Sydney. Needless to say, our daughter loved it. The songs, the dancing, and she also got quite a kick out of watching the kids dancing in the audience.

I think the performance goes on a little long, and I think the camerawork could have been improved. But heck, I enjoyed it too. The songs from The Wiggles are simple, catchy, and easy to remember. That means I can sing and dance along with my little girl, and a good time is had by all. It was fun to see the parents in the audience singing along as well. Well done, Wiggles...well done!

Another hit with our 3-year old (almost 4) daughter. It reminds me of the concert they did here in the US, only with a MUCH bigger stage and longer show. A real must-have for Wiggles Fans!

If we're in the van and our two-year old gets a little road weary, we can pop this in and his mood greatly improves. We use it sparingly to keep the fun from wearing off, so this should last us for 6 months or so.

I have two children, a 7 and almost 2 year-old and it is amazing the affection they both hold for the Wiggles in their respective toddlerhoods. It's like "baby crack" as my husband calls them. My baby's earliest phrase was, "watch Wiggles". With my oldest, friends gave us vintage Wiggles videos and although the Big Red car was made of cardboard, they had absolutely no sets just a couple of props, and had to rely on their respective schticks to fill segments, they still had a captivating appeal on my daughter, then a toddler. Now we're watching the Big Big show and other new videos and their production values have come a looong way.

What I have noticed since Greg's departure from the group is Anthony's increasing role as front man. My kids would never notice it, but he's a bit of a limelight hog and his incessant chatter gets grating, at least after many, many viewings. I even noticed on one bonus track (maybe not this video's?) that all of Anthony's bloopers were full sound on the reel, but the rest of the casts bloopers were done in montage with a soundtrack over the dialogue even though some of them looked funnier than Anthony's bloopers. I hope he mellows out. The other guys still seem to be as sweet-spirited as ever.

But that's the worst I can say about them. The show is entertaining for adults and the songs are pretty contemporary and appealing to kids and parents. They stand up to multiple viewings before Anthony's behaviour becomes apparent and starts to wear. And the rest of the cast is charming and fun. And of course, they're baby crack.

Nice show with acrobats and some of the regular dancers. It is nice to see an entire "concert" video with Sam. Fun circus theme.

I just bought this for my 16 month old son and he has requested it numerous times all ready. It's a fun show with catchy tunes. I'm sure this will be one of his favorites.

When I purchased this DVD I did not know that it was a live show. My husband and I were pleasantly suprise when we started to watch. My son knew all the songs and sang along with the Wiggles. We all watch this DVD over and over for weeks after we received it. This is a must have DVD for your little one who is a Wiggles fan.

My 1.5 year old nephew loves The Wiggles. He dances to all the songs. I knew this would be a good holiday gift.

This live concert DVD is longer than most and really holds his attention. He sings and dances along to these 25 songs. Their stage is pretty elaborate and colorful, the acrobats and dancers do a good job. It's cute to see some of the children in the audience dance to the songs too. The Wiggles all come to the stage in the big red car that makes an appearance on stage which is cool. It's nice to see them on stage instead of just a studio setting. They do many of their classics - big red car, quack, quack, rock a bye your bear, getting strong, shimmie shake, hot potato, monkey man and Dr. Knickerbocker. We get so much enjoyment out of watching our son sing and dance.

My daughter is a Wiggle junkie. This is a good DVD, but she seems to enjoy watching the early Wiggles videos more than the Live performance DVD.
