Celine Dion: A New Day - Live In Las Vegas (2 Discs) (Blu-ray)

I saw this show in Vegas and i have also reviewed it for the standard DVD release, as far as this Blu Ray version is concerned its a clone of the DVD, but obviously with high definition, viewed on full 1080p resolution and with the 5.1 surround (2 channel optional) sound., it really makes the whole show jump out at you, the HD picture is very much better than the DVD version as youd expect.
The lighting, dancers costumes, beautiful sets,and the theartre, all look vibrant and scaringly sharp.
The extras on the discs are the same as the DVD version, the "All Access" option is the full show but with added and behind the scenes footage running in real time with the show, so you get to see, the dancers, musicians, technicians, runners, lighting cues. sound mix, and all the other stuff which is happening, far from being midly boring you can actually enjoy the show all be it with a bit of split screen, mostly behind the scenes footage, its quite an eye opener to see all the… more »

If you've got the gear for Blu Ray this is really worth it stunning both visually and in sound, the DVD version is great but with this type of lavish multi million dollar cutting edge tech production , in the Blu Ray format it becomes another beast.
When you have the perfect picture, sound, theartre, visual effects, artist (subjective), eye candy athletic dancers, an adoring audience, and all the love in the building, how do you better it all?. well you cant really, just enjoy it.
Amazing Vegas show (now finished Dec 07) if you were one of the millions who saw it in Vegas then re-live it, if not then live it asap ...

I have to agree with bigdan80. I have never been a fan, I tolerated listening to her but certainly would have never bought anything she released.

That was before I made one of my very regular trips to Las Vegas and I thought I'd better see what all the fuss was about the biggest ticket on the strip.

The whole spectacle is amazing -the purpose built theatre, the music, the dance, the stage, that truely brilliant backdrop (I'm a total tech geek) and yes Celine Dion and that voice! Just a total package that needed to be seen to believed - she's touring soon and I really can't bring myself to go and see her in one of those aircraft hanger sized arenas after being treated to the show Ceasars Palace offered.

I've since been back to see the show a further 4 times - but alas it's all gone now and this is the next best thing. There has been talk for the past 2yrs about this being released on DVD but I'm glad they waited for HiDef to become more available.

Anyway enough… more »
