I loved George Michael since WHAM! FANTASTIC…He is a pop music genious–writes great songs in various genres, produces, plays instruments and has an outstanding voice….on studio recordings…

I’ve seen George Michael sing live on WHAM! In China, LIVE AID, On a concert on Disney in the 1990′s, but, I just don’t think he is that great live..I’ve never seen him in concert in an arena, but what I’ve seen on film–he just doesn’t impress live on these performances I’ve mentioned, nor on this 1st ever live full concert dvd…

The set list was OKAY–would have wanted more songs from Older and Faith, but…It’s just through the concert, he seems to depend too much on his background singers and audience participation than singing the songs himself…And he never stays with the same style when he sings live as the songs were originally recorded–I will say, that many of the songs musicly sounded close to the studio versions…And he’d sing like back to back versions of the same song–but with different arrangements (remixed/ like with I’m your Man and Spinning the Wheel–when he could have fit in maybe another song or two in the setlist)–The lighting and the stage is also just too busy on this concert—I thought I’d have a seizure watching all these LCD lights all over the place!

The best I ever heard/seen George Michael live was when he did the MTV Unplugged in 1996…I had to buy many import Singles/EP releases to get those songs from the show to add to my collection and wish he would release THAT concert on DVD–for that’s the only memorable live performance I’ve seen him do…To watch George Michael “Perform”, I’ll stick to watching his 25 Music Video DVD collection…It’s sad when you think a musician/band doesn’t sound that good live when you attend a concert, but I think it’s even WORST when they dissappoint on a live cd or dvd where the musician can actually have the opportunity to tweak and overdub the product in a studio…..And not for nothing, but doesn’t George now resemble Clair’s Father on the TV show Heroes?…Whatever–Again, if you want a great George Michael DVD, I’d say skip this one and go with the 25 Music Video Collection–Better setlist of songs, better footage and you can have a fun nostalgic trip watching videos from the WHAM! and FAITH era videos from the 1980s!

George Michael LIVE in London is AWESOME!!!!! If you are a fan or just learning about George Michael you will LOVE this!!!!

Simply put, the best DVD/Blu-Ray that I own – the audio and visual presentation is outstanding, George’s performance is flawless, and every song is a gem… for a gifted artist who has only 1 live performance available for fans to enjoy over and over again, this is the perfect 1!
