Josh Groban has talent beyond compare and a voice so beautiful that I can't help but feel major disappointment with this second concert. I bought both of his concerts and there's definitely a difference in his voice. Where the first (2002) was beautiful in every way, the "Greek" is flawed. Groban's voice is strained and noticably nasal in some vocals. I don't buy the "defective DVD" excuse. That would be laughable if it weren't for the fact that I paid $29 for this concert DVD/CD set. If the vocal weaknesses weren't disappointing enough, I also have issues with the new arrangements for his standards like "Canto Alla Vita," the song he previously did in his first concert with the Coors. Josh goes to the keyboards and plays an introduction that sounds like scratching your fingernails across a chalkboard! What was that?! The staging, lighting, stuff projected on screens behind him were just annoying distractions.

I was really impressed by the song Remember in the movie Troy. So when I saw this dvd/cd with it, I quickly bought it even though what I wanted was the studio recording of Troy. I figured that a live version can't be that bad as Josh has a gorgeous voice. After just one play, I returned it to the store and changed it for something else. Josh sounds really nasal here. Perhaps he had the flu? Then they should have postponed the recording. I cannot sit through this concert without comparing it to the previous which was

excellent. Josh, back to basics please.

Josh Groban's attempt to jazz it up at the Greek falls short because his voice, not his rock-style presence, is what people buy. Unfortunately for Josh his voice is poor during one-third of the concert.

The usually superior voiced Josh Groban didn't quite live up to his standards with "Live at the Greek." From the looks of it he also knew he wasn't quite able to hit the strong notes. His presence was stiff and he looked very uncomfortable in the first few minutes. It's unfathomable that the professionals (?) in charge of post-production for this concert didn't edit it better. With so many non-professional listeners catching the nasal strains, where were they? Oh well, that's not really the issue now. There are a few who will buy the "Greek," warts and all. It's their money. Mine will wait until there's a better CD. If not, I'm that much the richer.

I've read about 20 of the reviews and see that I'm not the only one disappointed enough to return the "Greek" DvD. I won't keep it around because it's just not good. Josh Groban sounds poor, but it's not my problem, it's his.
