Live Travelling The World [Blu-ray] [2013]

I did not realise that Marie was unwell until i saw them at the o2 London on this final tour. She was carried onto the stage with two large men lifting her under here arms.The show went on as normal but clearly Maria was unable to move around the stage to much.This concert does a great job of reflecting many of Roxettes well know songs with a great band assembled. The film makers did a great jon of showing Marie clearly having a great time on stage , whilst at the same time as preserving her dignity and by panning in on all of the band it minimised the actual reality of her condition.i sustained a traumatic brain injury in 2004 and the effects on the body are the same as brain cancer , stoke and meningitis. I cannot help but admire Marie for actually standing up for 1 1/2 hours and singing. The crowd here are Argentinian are are practically bouncing off of the walls with enthusiasm. it is not surprising that Marie had to cut short the planned world tour as these shows would really have taken their toll on her health , and ultimately shortened her life.I watch this film with a mixture of admiration , enjoyment whilst at the same time find it an emotional experience.

It's great to see roxette back as i saw them on tour last year in glasgow and it was superb,as always the songs are all classic roxette.This dvd and cd set capture the magic and energy on stage,and as there is no great selection of dvd's released by the group,this isvery welcome in the collection.You also get a tour documentary which is on for an hour,and the concert itself runs for 95mins,and between songs although not all you getsnippets of backstage footage without it spoiling the concert itself which i'm glad of.On the cd nearly all the concert apart from a few songs due to running times of cd's,also 5.1 sound or dolby digital(that i chose for my set up).So a great release and a great concert and i've followed them from 1990 on,and if you ever get a chance why not give per gessle solo albums a go.

I have been a fan of Roxette for some years and have always been struck by Per's amazing gift for writing superbly crafted 'pop' songs. Over the years Roxette have matured into a band with a much harder rock edge but still with the nucleus of those songs. It is a testament to the quality of the writing that they still stand up today..The songs that is!If you look at the earliest videos of the band it comes as a shock that they have in fact been around for some years. Yes they are older, there have been health issues but boy can they still cut the mustard.The CD is cracking stuff and is a good continuation to the live CD that they issued with their CD 'Charm School'.You also get a good documentary to plough through. Sit back with a bottle of rioja and enjoy.The DVD is great. Bits of different concerts stuck together with some backstage tomfoolery, great stuff. Marie and Per are really having fun and they have really honed a superb 'rox' band. Fabulous playing. Although they play the old favourites you dont get the impression this a 'pension top-up, going through the motions smug old git tour'. The band is truly inspired and invigorated.Superb quality DVD.I only have a couple of issues withe DVD which are more irritating than anything frankly. The box says there is DTS surround sound. Access the menu and it says Dolby surround sound NOT DTS. Whatever surround sound it is a lot of atmosphere seems to be lost. I changed it to Dolby 2 channel digital and it still seemed to fill all speakers (albeit a lot more sound at the front) and the sound and live feel improved considerably. Weird. The other thing is the tracklisting on the box and the menu isnt the same as on the disc. 'The introduction' is in fact the first track so if you want to access the first song 'Dressed For Success' press 2 and not 1 and so on!Dont let this put you off. This set is fantastic. Well worth investing in. If you havent heard of Rox for some time take a chance with this. It will appeal to a new audience believe me.Thank you Marie and Per. Keep the product coming. Wonderful stuff

superb live album but rather tragic in some respects as marie's voice was a bit gentle on the high and long drawn out parts but the girl did excellently considering her illness . a fabulous memory to remeber them bywhat could they have achieved if ...if....all love and prayersTONY

Having seen Roxette at Wembley in November 2011 I was delighted to hear that this Blu Ray was going to be released. It's filmed at three different South American venues, but apart from seeing different crowd scenes you wouldn't really notice. Soundwise it seems very good although I would have preferred it if Per's guitar were more of a 'choppy' rock sound than the jangly tone it seems to have in the first few songs. This is no fault of the video though - it's just his personal choice I guess. When you consider what Marie has been through she is an inspiration.As with all these concert videos, make sure you play them loud through decent speakers. Definitely recommended though. Well done Roxette!!

Finally got a copy of this for Xmas. The concert is great, although would have liked to have seen "Way Out", "Only When I Dream" and "Opportunity Nox" included. "Stars" should have been dropped in my humble opinion.Sound and picture quality is great throughout the concert. Great to see Marie back on form following her battle with Cancer. She's one tough lady, inspiring!Loved the documentary also - very touching. All in all - power pop at it's best.Last but not least, it's always great when you're featured in the booklet. What a great xmas surprise!

Meravigliosi

I never was a big Roxette fan, but catching a couple of the songs from this Blu Ray on Youtube piqued my curiosity and I decided to order it. Overall a very entertaining , energetic performance from Roxette. The sound and picture quality are very good as well and I find the live renditions superior to their original studio versions. This Blu ray is region free (good news for North American fans); however it is in the European PAL format. So if you are in North America, make sure your Blu ray player (like my Oppo BD103) can decode PAL.

Muy bueno, lástima que las tapas sean de carton

1st off, you will probably only be able to play the concert DVD on your laptop or home PC DVD player, not your home DVD player. It has a big Region 0 label on the cover, but don't believe it. That being stated, this is a GREAT live DVD concert, with a documentary too, & a GREAT live CD set !!! Really nice combo, done in 2012 reunion tour. I have the standard DVD, not Blu-Ray, & the video / sound quality is perfect. Another reviewer said the video is bad, I have no idea why ?? I am VERY HAPPY !!! If you are a true Roxette fan , you need to pick this GREAT combo set up , while you still can find it, at a decent price, about $ 20. The live CD & the DVD concert are not identical song lists, which is good, a little variation

Soy gran fan de Roxette, en este video el audio se escucha muy bien sin embargo la calidad del video y la edición pudieron ser mejor. Ampliamente recomendable para grandes fans.
