Consumer DVD Review
[Top]
Having been a fan of Chris De Burgh since the 1980's & having watched the solo concert in Manchester I was very eager to get hold of this DVD & re-live some of the magic of the evening's concert.
Unfortunatly when my wife & I sat down to watch this DVD we were really disappointed. The sound quality & the filming made me think I could have done better with my own video camera. The content of the DVD was representative of the songs that were performed but compared with previous C de B videos this was a very poor presentation. Given the high quality music & video Chris is known for I find it hard to believe he would put his name to this.
If you are going to buy it anyway get it from here at least you will waste the least ammount of money. The one redeeming feature was the interview with C de B whish was very good. But still not a good buy! A dissapointed fan
