If Josh Groban's unabashedly melodramatic musical fusion inspires grousing on both sides of the classical/pop pundit divide, the screams of the (mostly) young female fans that punctuate these 2004 performances at L.A.'s historic Greek theater better underscore the real point. This set's CD and more expansive DVD complement each other well; if anything, supplemented by a live string ensemble and crack backing band, they're a warmer, more focused showcase for the singer's talents than the studio albums that made his meteoric fame. In peak form, Groban variously delivers forceful renditions of his pop-operatic powerhouses "Canto Alla Vita" and "Anna Luce Del Sole" (the former featuring a drum solo [!] from Groban, the latter a fine guest turn by Bela Fleck on banjo), takes a surprising solo piano break on Paul Simon's "America," waxes Central Asian on Troy's "Remember" and brings the crowd to its feet with the heart-on-his-sleeve dramatics of Closer's "Never Let Go." They're all informed by the singer's insouciant, youthful enthusiasm, arguing that Groban is gifted with more than just a magnificent voice; he's a complete natural as a performer as well. The DVD also includes a tour diary narrated with typical charm by the singer, as well as bonus live performance of "Believe" from the Polar Express soundtrack. --Jerry McCulley2) Album Description
Josh Groban's 2002 PBS "Great Performances" special was a #1 selling DVD and the best-selling long-form music video of 2003. His second "Great Performances" special was taped at L.A.'s Greek Theater in the summer of 2004. For fans of the young sophisticated pop phenomenon who has sold more than 8 million albums, this CD+DVD package is just the latest great performance in the career of Josh Groban. DVD Extras: On the road with Josh for Summer 2004 Tour and a special performance of "Believe" from The Polar Express (it's PBS footage mixed w/ film footage).

Average Customer Rating: 2.5 out of 5
1) LOVE IT [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I LOVE this cd/dvd. The dvd is almost better than being at the actual concert!2) Ladies and Gentleman, the lovely and talented...Lucia Micarelli. [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Important Note: With this DVD, you can only change the audio from the menu, just choose: 'Set Up'. I listened in Dolby 2.0 stereo (still very good), but it has DTS and Dolby 5.1 surround stereo, as well. It cannot be changed while the DVD is playing the concert.I'm only a moderate Josh Groban fan, but didn't hear anything nasal in his performance of the songs done in English. I only listened to some of the Italian ones, but still thought they were fine.Yes, I enjoyed many more songs (and the staging) from his first DVD, but I really enjoyed at least three of the English songs, and the barefoot violinist, Lucia Micarelli on this one. Plus, the bonus behind the scenes featurette, of his 2004 summer tour (20.5 minutes long), was also good. Although, I didn't care for the bonus song, "Believe", from the "Polar Express" movie, because some scenes from the movie were thrown in. It ruined (ughh!-a cartoon version of Tom Hanks) the otherwise nice song...for me, anyway.However, the real star of this widescreen DVD, is 20 year old, violin enchantress, Lucia Micarelli. Check her out during "Mi Mancherai" (chapter 4) and her 6 minute violin solo (chap. 8) consisting of: "Nocturne" (with piano), and then "Bohemian Rhapsody", with both piano and band accompaniment. Simply, amazing!I'm not really a classical fan, but she's great! 3 star Dvd without her, but 3.5 stars with her. However, since Amazon allows no half stars, I'll round it up to 4 stars, because of the glow sticks. :)3) Awesome Concert DVD!!! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Josh Groban has one of the most amazing voices of all time. It is shown off exquistely in this concert. He shows his diversity between languages, instruments and of course, his delightful personality. My son who is just 3 has been watching this DVD non stop since he was about 6 months and I've never tired of it. Josh is simply amazing and any fan should have this live performance in their collection! Having just seen him live in concert in Hershey, NOTHING can compare to his passion and energy live, but this DVD comes as close as you can get!4) Josh is even better in live! [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I recently saw Josh on his new tour with Awake, and it was so awesome that inspired me to buy this DVD to replicate the experience a little bit. I loved it! Especially loved the few extra songs I've never heard before (Mi Morena, America). Some people were complaining about the nasal sound and quality, but this is a live show so of course it sounds a little different. Bottom line is I think Josh is a great preformer and his very funny also :)5) Very Good! [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This CD/DVD was very good. I watched the DVD and was impresed with the way He handles the "spot light." He seems to be a very humble person and I think that is what makes his music so enjoyable to listen to. Not forgetting his awesome voice!
