Review - Amazon.com
Singer-songwriter Bryan Adams has been turning out hits for more than 20 years now, despite being dismissed as a lightweight with little more than a cocky attitude and an ear for a hook. But there were no nay-sayers at Tokyo's Budokan auditorium when Adams appeared there in June 2000; indeed, the young Japanese audience knows every word of every tune, screams out the names of his musicians, and seems generally enraptured by anything he does. There are no frills here--not only is the band stripped-down (Adams plays bass, with Mickey Curry on drums and Keith Scott on guitar), but there's no stage show to speak of and precious little patter. Still, Adams and his white-clad mates clearly deliver what the people want: i.e., one catchy tune after another. A whole lot of 'em, too: the DVD contains 22 songs, plus four bonus tracks, and the accompanying CD has 15. --Sam Graham

- In Top Form

I didn't know what to expect from this collection. I,ve always been a Bryan Adams fan and a live album collector. Live Live Live was great, Unplugged was weak. This one is unbelievable. Although Live Live Live was somewhat more rocking, this one shows Bryan and his two bandmates in top form in a more polished effort. Bryan has tended to mellow in his later years as have his peers but even the later ballads are brought back to life here. Musicianship is top notch and the sound quality is impeccable. I only wish the cd would have more closely mirrored the dvd. Clocking in at about 62 minutes, there certainly was room. I would reccomend this one be played loud!

- Great DVD Rock Concert

If you have a good 5.1 channel DVD setup, take the CD and throw it away, you will never use it. Best rock concert I've ever been to, without acually going to the concert. So far the only surround sound concert I know about on DVD, it's like your in the audience. Of course the music rocks, but there is something more going on here, hopefully there will be more surround sound concerts from other artists, if you have the sound equipment, it's a great ride.

- Bryan Adams made a night to remember for me!!

What an awesome package from Bryan Adams!...I had recently purchased his new release entitled "11" (which is fantastic and also highly recommended), and was itching to watch some concert footage. Found Live At The Budokan on Amazon and for the price, what a deal! He belts out 26 songs on the dvd and the cd has 15!! All that for only fifteen bucks! The dvd quality is superb and it's great to be able to watch him onstage without rapidly changing video angles as many new dvds have recently. Very well put together and very highly recommended!!!

- Not as good as it should have been

I love the 'Live Live Live' album - where Byan and the gang was in top form. I mainly bought this album because I wanted to hear the new songs in their live versions - and the album coming with a DVD was an incentive as well. My first disappointment was, that 'How do ya feel tonight' was cut off after about 1 minute. Bryan's voice in the beginning sounds weird, until he finally kicks in during Summer of '69. 'Have you ever really loved a woman ?' is even worse than the studio version - but the biggest 'crime' is 'When you're gone'. The Japanese girl singing with Bryan should not even be allowed on a Karaoke stage - plus she does not know the lyrics... this might have been funny during the concert, but on a CD where you spend good money on, they should have used a professional singer. The rest of the concert is ok, but the band never really looses up. The best moments are 'Getaway' and 'Run to you'. Also, they could have put more songs from the DVD on the CD - there is plenty of space on the disc. The DVD is nice, but if you are after Bryan 'live', buy 'Live Live Live' instead, where he really rocks the night away.
