"This CD is simply amazing. I have been to two of JL shows and this DVD does capture the element and energy of this electrifying artist and band. If you missed his show, cop this CD, get some wine and prepare to take off! Each song is performed with such energy and sensuality. He even gives you a sneak peak of Again, a song that will be on his sophmore album. I wish he had debuted Feak Out also. That's my only beef with the DVD. This CD further cements John as what he really is...a LEGEND!

An Awesome LIVE Talent = a must buy DVD

"I saw John Legend In Ireland a few months ago and wow what a talent. This man can definately put on a show and i cant wait to get this dvd.....His voice, his talent on the keys and his band are amazing. It's very rare in todays artist's to have a singer sound better live than they do on the studio album, but John Legend does just that.....he is a huge talent. if you ever get a chance to see him live then get a ticket cos you won't be dissapointed."

"What can I say about this concert? Electrifyng, energizing, sexy, outstanding, superb... no words can compare to the Legend! If you've only heard him on cds or the radio, you hear the passion he has for his music. If you watch the dvd, you'll see his amazing stage presence and want to fly to his nearest concert to be a part his aura."
Well Shot, Great Energy, Fantastic Voice

"I really enjoyed the Songs that John did by himself. All the background singers and band members seemed to draw the attention away from his vocals. I debated on whether to give it 3 stars or 4 and I finally decided on 4 because he sings so well and the lyrics stir you. The Blu Ray edition looks beautiful in High Definition, and it sounds superb. They did a good job packaging this DVD full of beautiful songs. If you enjoyed hearing John Legend on CD or on the Radio, check out this Well edited, well shot film."
