Product Reviews

I viewed the standard concert-only edition offered at Wal-mart and on-line for a limited time the beginning of the week before receiving the Deluxe in the mail from Amazon, and overall I must say it's nice for the price no matter which version you buy. The cinematography was excellent and you get the feel of the venue and the intamacy everyone behind the production was intentionally trying to create. Her voice was top notch where it counted, but to see her not necessarily at her best and vulnerable vocally especially given her pregnancy (which you will see support early reports back when the show started after watching this) was to be admired because she knocked that show out with style, grace, and glamour like only she could. She just can do no wrong. Period.Off the top as the show begins to progress, you notice that it is being set up like the Vegas "I Am...Yours" one week stand back two years ago with the dialogue and script. Thank God it changes when she begins to do the songs from "4." Technically, like another reviewer mentioned, the editing and special effects on some of the songs like "Countdown" and the fact that various clips from her career and personal movies were mixed in with the songs can be a little jarring, but hey...she's clearly not going to tour in 2011 and who knows what 2012 holds, so this is your best bet. I myself was one of the lucky fans who snapped tickets up to this show when they went on sale and waited outside in the cold rain for 3-plus hours before the doors opened almost 2 hours after the intended start on the tickets, so for me it did hold a bit of sentimental value attending the first night and having to wait for this once in a life time opportunity. The DVD producers clearly wanted to play on that. However, it's quite clear that the DVD presentation is a culmination of all 4 nights as the stars such as Betsey Johnson and Lady Gaga didn't come until subsequent nights, some noticeable wardrobe issues, and the fact that the night I was there the young guy didn't give her the painting he made of her. And though she performed the songs in order save for "Start Over," they are out of order here which I don't quite understand but it is what it is. I would've preferred them in order since the album builds track after track emotionally, and to see her sing it in that order, you really get the true power of "4."As for the features on this Deluxe Edition, on Disc One "Roseland: Behind the Scenes" serves more like a 7-minute trailer than really an in-depth look into the show. Alot of the footage was featured at the show as teasers on the screens before it began. Disc Two's "Beyonce: Behind the Camera" is a little more what the Disc One featurette lacks as it appears like a documentary chronicling the behind the scenes of the album and videos. Much better piece and highlights Beyonce's newfound passion as producer and director. The packaging is similar to digi-pack and includes a book of glossy photos and writings.If you're a fan of Beyonce like I am or didn't get to attend this show back in August, this is a must.
