I've been a Josh Groban fan ever since I saw his performance on Sarah Brightman's La Luna concert DVD. I was ecstatic when I found out he was releasing his own CD, and was doubly excited to learn he was releasing a DVD.

I rushed to buy this DVD the day it was released, and all I have to say is the other viewers aren't lying when they're saying this is good stuff. The quality of this recording is second to none. Everything from technical quality to artistic quality is superb. Josh's style is very simplistic; he's a minimalist. However, as the saying goes: "The simplest melodies are the hardest to play." Josh truly proves that. He has just enough flair- not too much as to detract from his voice- and it's just enough pizazz to come off as classy and sublime.

Josh Groban is on his way to becoming one of the greats. He is truly the only singer who's managed to unite heavy metalheads, rap fans, sugar high pop fans, grunge fans, and classical fans under one roof. I have not met a single person who's listened to him and not replied with something to the effect of "Wow" regardless of their musical preference. Such is the power of Josh Groban. Rick Dees even dubbed him "the annointed one."

His genius is his ability to channel into a deep reservoir of emotion, so even though he might be singing in a different language, listeners can understand the song through feeling... and he's only in his early 20's! If you enjoyed his CD, just wait till you get this DVD and can watch him!

Aside from Josh, the thing I was most impressed with on this DVD was the sound. This DVD features CD quality sound, which is a delight.

There's also a whole debate about Angie Stone singing with Josh on 'The Prayer.' I'll have to admit I actually enjoyed Ms. Stone's version more than the CD version with Charlotte Church. I felt, personally, that Ms. Stone's technique was better than Charlotte's. No, I'm not saying Charlotte doesn't have talent- she is a powerhouse of talent- but experience counts for just as much. Charlotte, lately, has a tendency to waver just below or just above the actual note. She falls either flat or sharp of the note. Ms. Stone may hail from an R&B background, but she hit each note on key, and she brought a different flavor to the song, one that was very vibrant and natural. Suffice to say, I really enjoyed the change-up. To each his or her own =)

Though this DVD is still in the making as I'm making this review, I'm truly confident that it will be a best seller when it is released. Many of my fellow Grobanites(Josh Fans) are already preordering this item like crazy. Witnessing the PBS taping of Josh in LA which will also be covered on this DVD, I can attest to you all that it is truly an amazing concert. Josh will be singing all of his songs from his first album in a live concert with a backup orchestra. I just want to relive that moment through this DVD. Interestingly, from what I heard(which can still change)the DVD will also contain special features like additional footage of Josh with David Foster, John Williams, and friends. The included CD is a plus which I think will contain some of Josh songs not covered by his first album. One indication is that Josh have one christmas song, "O Holy Night" in it. In any rate, this CD\DVD package will truly be treasured by many and are eagerly anticipating its release. But don't take my word, see it, hear it, and you'll talk more about it or even become a Grobanite someday. Don't tell me I didn't remind you because someday you'll know what I mean. See further details of this CD\DVD package as they become available.

This DVD is from his first TV Concert. It is "Great Performances" on PBS. The visual effects are a first to be seen on a PBS special. This DVD is history in the making...A super "Josh Experience" The guest stars are John Williams, Angie Stone and Lili Haydn. For the people that are not acquainted with pop classical, now is the time to experience it. How refreshing to listen to music that speaks to the heart, and lets it soar.

The DVD outtakes are also a never before seen experience. How this young man can unite people from all different states and countries, to meet together in love and togetherness. Age also was no barrier. Mothers sitting alongside with their children, people young and old, appreciating the common link that bonds us all..feelings in the heart.

If you never buy another DVD, you owe it to yourself to get the chance to expand your horizons, find the light behind the clouds, lift your heads in joy, raise your arms in freedom, sing out..grow..change..the Josh experience, is NOW

I first watched this concert on PBS then ran to my store to buy it!! This concert is perfectly sung by Josh Groban and his voice is so lovely it's hard to describe. The sets, guests, and music all mesh to provide one of the best concerts I've ever seen and I've seen many. The sound is so perfect you have to listen well to realize it's recorded "Live". I bought "Live at the Greek" also but was very disappointed in that one. With this, you get everything you could want and that includes an exquisite performance by Josh Groban.

I own Sarah Brightman, Charlotte Church, Celine Dion, and Secret Garden's DVDs. While I love all their music and songs, Josh's beat all others in terms of QUALITY of concert production. ...

** Video Recording

**** Bottomline: Josh has raised the par for Concert DVDs! Now, let's see who outperforms him.
