N Sync - Live at Madison Square Garden

Amazon.com

Here's the full 90-minute show that 'N Sync performed live on HBO at Madison Square Garden in July 2000, including footage of fans outside the Garden before the show telling the camera how much they want to meet their idols. The taped show itself is flashy and professional, full of costume changes and allowing each Sync singer his own lead as they work their way through more than a dozen of their hits, including "It's Gonna Be Me," "Space Cowboy," and of course "Bye Bye Bye." Still, for a group that prides itself on its mildly hip-hop dance styles, the camera work is surprisingly slipshod when it comes to capturing the five boy-toys dancing in unison. The perfect gift for that 13-year-old girl in your life. --Marshall Fine

You feel like a part of the Concert........2005-09-11

Of all the concert dvds and real life concerts I've been to, this is probably the closest you can get if you want to chill on your couch and be part of this thrilling concert. This DVD is amazing, nsync is amazing. I'm not their top fan, but I truly enjoyed the music, and the incredible dance moves. It makes me want to jump up and dance with them! All five of them look great, esp Justin with his curly hair and bandana. They are very adorable, they enjoyed the concert and so did everyone. Watching the concert makes you feel like you are sharing a part of their incredible happiness and fortune, it's sad, but for a spur of moment, it is close to sublime.

Excellent concert, big in lights, fireworks and production! .......2005-05-30

This is really NSYNC at their highest point when they did the Madison Square Garden concert in NYC on HBO! I was in Brooklyn listening to it on Z100 on simulcast when I was there on vacation! On the DVD, it is a phenomenal show, with loads of fireworks blasting on many of the songs. They did a lot of the songs from the No Strings Attached album as well as some cuts from the debut. The best performance is It's Gonna Be Me, which the band played so good live! Followed by the big grand finale of Bye Bye Bye, and numbers such as This I Promise You, Digital Get Down, I Thought She Knew, the '80s looking set during Just Got Paid, the jazzy I Drive Myself Crazy and many others. Justin Timberlake still sounds strong vocally and JC Chasez is also that good in his leads. They put a lot of effort into this show and the stage, lights, and strobe lights are massive, which could rival some of KISS' concerts! While most of the audience were teen girls, I noticed a lot of adults in the audience and many male fans too dancing to the music! They really expanded and broadened their audience with this album as well as their music. One of the best concerts to open in the 21st century!

Mostly excellent concert, bad video work, mediocre audio.......2005-01-01

This particular concert would have been astounding to watch from close up in person. The vocals were mostly spot on. I have to give these boys a hand. They really can sing in concert, which I was not expecting when I bought this video.

The grandeur of the show was degraded by the shoddy camera work, the bad cuts and the horrible audio mix.

Video

The camera work intercuts way too frequently usually not pointing at the correct location to get the perspective of the concert. Although, the camera work is good enough to get most of the action.

Audio

The audio recording sound quality is good, but not excellent. The vocal mixes were, in most cases, way too low next to the music. At many times, you can barely hear JC or Justin over the music and noise. It's probably tough to mix a concert in among loud screaming fans, but I'm sure there has to be someone who could have done it. Another example is during 'No Strings Attached', Lance's vocals are way too loud compared to Justin.

And, on many songs you can hear the breathing against the microphone (very annoying). While I know this can only be avoided to some degree, they could have turned the mics down during the non-singing parts.

Song Renditions

In most cases, the band does excellent renditions of the songs. Many times, they rival the studio recording... which is quite a feat in a live setting. Not many bands can accomplish this with such mastery no matter how hard they try.

The exception to this is "Bye Bye Bye". This is probably the worst rendition on the video. The haphazard dance movements get in the way of the vocals and cause noticable degredation. Plus, the guys were just plain tired and their vocals were not pristine seeing as it was an encore. This song should have been first, not last. I know they save the best for last, but in this case, I would have preferred to hear this one first.

The best rendition being "God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You" with a close second to "I Thought She Knew".

Dancing

While the dancing was very energetic, I felt that many of the syncronized movements got in the way of the song. The songs were, in most cases, just not energetic enough to warrant that kind of dance. I still have to give them cheers to be able to be that synchronized and still sing that well (except Bye Bye Bye).

Bantering

There was a lot of bantering by the band members between the songs. There was some kind of chatter between nearly every song. There were only two songs where they went from one song directly into another without stopping.

Overall

This is an excellent concert to watch on video. It's too bad I didn't get to see it live (and probably never will since the band has disbanded).

One last thing, throughout the video, they keep making references to being 'here to stay' in retort to those who were saying boy band days are numbered. To that, I say, told you so. Those were my sentiments at the time even though I have since watched the video and I do admire their ability to put on a concert without lipsyncing (that I can tell anyway).

If you're a fan, it's definitely worth a buy. If you like to watch excellent concerts, this is definitely one not to miss. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the production. Especially after having seen a Backstreet Boys concert where the production was so much lower and the quality was average (and in some cases, below average) concert quality.

IT ROCKS !!!!! ALL nsync fans MUST see it !!!!!.......2004-03-12

Awesome! When's the next one?.......2007-03-11

I wouldn't give the 5-star so easily, but it cannot be denied that this is one of my favorite DVDs. Yes, it was "cut" -- not a complete continuous concert -- but that takes nothing from it.

I was impressed -- yes impressed -- by Mariah's lack of showmanship. It isolated her talent, which is her incredible voice (along with some great songwriting). It made me appreciate the later CD, The Education of Mimi even more. What a difference between the singsong stuff on this DVD, versus the bold stuff on Mimi. When do we get a more recent concert, Mimi??? I'll buy it!

Additionally, for those of you with kids, this is a completely family-friendly DVD, including the "Camp Mariah" segment. Mom, Dad and kids can sit in the living room on a Saturday night and enjoy the heck out of this DVD. The part where Mariah enters stage-left during One Sweet Day is an inspiring moment.

Buy it. I'm a "Mimi" fan for life.

Mariah Carey Madison Square Garden.......2006-11-05

I thought this was a full concert. It is just parts of the concert I was disapointed with the flow of the video.

Mariah Carey sings live!.......2006-07-04

This was the only "official" recording I could find (on DVD)of Mariah live. It's sort of old now, but sounds great, I think.

Could of been better.......2006-06-28

I liked this concert, but I was still a little disappointed. Matiah's vocals were top-notch, but I wished she moved around the stage a little more. She just stood still on the stage in a lot of the songs, which got a little boring. Also, the setlist was too ballad-heavy. There should of been more up-tempo tracks. I liked the two bonus videos a lot, and I enjoyed the little interview snippets we got.

Sony Is Cheap, But This DVD Is Still Worth Buying.......2006-06-28

What is Sony thinking? They release a great concert on dvd and don't even think about how the audio feature should sound. No 5.1 here!!!! That is some cheap crap for a great performer who made Sony hundreds of millions in the 90's. The picture comes is great but you better turn your system up very high to capture the greatness of Mariah's voice. Hopefully Island Def Jam won't be so cheap when they release The Adventures of Mimi Tour on Dvd this holiday season. (I don't even know if they are releasing it on dvd just wishful thinking)

An 'unforgettable journey'.......2004-04-13

Anyone who is of the opinion that Rob Lowe comes across as being 'dull' on screen, or perhaps 'just a pretty face', should take time out to watch 'Square Dance'. His 'Golden Globe nominated performance' was justly deserved for his portrayal of the 'mentally-impared man-child', Rory.

There are some films watched during your childhood or teenage years that have a profound effect on you and, for me, 'Square Dance' is one such film. It is nice to see it released on DVD format so promptly.

Lowe skilfully plays the role of Rory, eliciting what can only be described as an emotional reaction from myself and, I'm sure, many others who have watched this heart-warming drama. It is roles like this and his portrayal of deaf mute, Nick Andros, in Stephen King's 'The Stand' that substantiate Lowe's talent and versatility as an actor.

'Square Dance' also features Winona Ryder in her acclaimed screen debut as Gemma, a 13-year old girl tired of living in Texas with her quarrelsome grandfather (Jason Robards), and who decides to go live with her mother (Jane Alexander) in Fort Worth. Whilst there, Gemma falls in love with Rory. She also discovers some hidden truths about her mother and the father she has never met. Life in Fort Worth turns out to be not as exciting and uncomplicated as she had initially expected.

Critically acclaimed, 'Square Dance' is an emotional drama that will remain with you forever.

Music: Don Henley, Ricky Scaggs, George Strait and Trace Adkins.

Special Features: Widescreen presentation; Audio commentary by producer & director Daniel Petrie ('Cocoon: The Return' & 'A Raisin in the Sun'); Director's biography.

a.k.a. HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.........2004-02-09

For a drama made in 1986 on a low budget "Square Dance" isn't bad. It does have a few rewards to offer. First off it has a top-notch cast. Winona Ryder is wonderful in her first lead role. She first appeared in a supporting role in "Lucas". Also Rob Lowe is convincing playing a semi-retarded boy. Jane Alexander is a scene stealer as Ryder's loose living mother. Not to mention Jason Robards as Ryder's grandfather who (if nothing else) does one nice thing for her. He taught her how to square dance. For fans of Winona Ryder, you'll be happy to see that she is in every scene of this nearly 2 hour coming of age drama. If your reading this your likely to be a fan of Winona Ryder. Here is a list of other films you may like to see her in. LUCAS, 1969, BEETLEJUICE, HEATHERS, GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!, WELCOME HOME ROXY CARMICHAEL, MERMAIDS, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, NIGHT ON EARTH, BRAM STOKERS DRACULA, THE AGE OF INNOCENCE, HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS, REALITY BITES, LITTLE WOMEN, HOW TO MAKE AN AMERICAN QUILT, BOYS, LOOKING FOR RICHARD, THE CRUCIBLE, CELEBRITY, ALIEN RESURRECTION, GIRL INTERRUPTED, AUTUMN IN NEW YORK, LOST SOULS, MR. DEEDS. camero appearances in.. ZOOLANDER (and) SIMONE.
