What a Fantastic DVD!!! - Now I can relive the tour memories again, and again!
I'm a huge Gary Barlow fan, and was lucky enough to secure tickets for his recent tour, which was handy as it turned out to be uttlerly amazing! So you can imagine how ecstatic I was to find that there would be a DVD released of the concert - and it was worth the wait! The DVD is presented and edited really well, it sounds great, the songs are perfect, the singing is perfect, and Gary Barlow is of course, absolutely perfect! He has a great humor and an easy rapport with the audience, and his love for what he does comes across really well, and makes you enjoy it even more I think. I loved all the songs, performances and little jokes on tour so its nice to be able to keep it on DVD and re-live tour memories every time I watch this - and the big suprise is that I found I wasn't watching the DVD alone - the whole family were quickly hooked along with me as soon as 'The Greatest Day' started playing! They even joined me to do the 'Never Forget' arm actions!! The DVD Extras are a great little bonus, I love the behind scenes bit and am so happy to see Forever Autumn included, as I thought that was a lovely performance on tour. In summary - a must for TT/GB fans (whether they went to the concert or not, fans will love it!) but also don't be too shocked when suddenly the rest of the family join in watching too! Gary Barlow has that effect!

Wished for something different...
I'll be honest here. I have not seen this DVD.I've been a huge fan of Gary Barlow with all the TT and solo releases on the shelve to prove it, for more that 15 years. In fact, I'm such a big fan of Barlow I was actually excited for a solo live video. Unfortunately I was expecting this to contain at least a FEW solo songs, not just Take That. I have both of Barlow's solo albums and it's like he's ashamed of them.I was looking forward to seeing some of those solo songs performed live for the first time ever, and I only regret not realizing this before buying this DVD (I wouldn't have bought it if I had known).I'm sure this is a good show, Barlow is nothing short of professional, talented and good entertainment. But this is not the Gary Barlow show I was expecting.

Excellent DVD, he really sounds that good live
The DVD shows Gary's fantastic singing abilities, his warm voice and personality, although it doesn't do him justice in terms of energy and interaction with the audience.I had the chance to see him live during his solo tour and I can only say that he sounded note-perfect in all the songs, so if anyone doubts his live voice is like that, they should go to see him and check it by themselves (I hope we have the chance to do it again soon). And besides his voice, he also showed great energy; you could tell he really loves his job and that's why the people attending his gigs enjoy it so much as well.The DVD is worth watching. I love the Behind the Scenes bit, but I wish it was longer. You won't regret it!Truly amazing singer-songwriter and man.

Quality Entertainment
I have now been a fan of take that since they released their comeback album beautiful world back in 2006-07. Though, as much as I love TT as a group, its great to see gary releasing some solo material (PS We are still waiting for the follow up to twelve months, eleven days). The show does not disappoint- brilliant live vocals and energy. However, as a fan of gary's solo material I would have loved the show to include more songs from the his solo efforts on the setlist (e.g wondering, for all that you want, UK #1 hit love won't wait etc).For all TT fans and music lovers, this concert is highly recommended.

I don't have an opinion either way on this DVD
suffice to say it makes my wife a very happy lady and when she is happy she tends to make me happy. Bedroom activity has increased by around 70% and am quite happy to let her sing along to this whilst 'performing' although his monotonous dialogue and fake Manc accent doesn't always help me in the 'recovery phase'.All in all I would recommend this to any 40-something man who is looking for an increase in the horizontal pleasure department even at the expense of knowing she is a million miles away lost in a dream somewhere.Was ironic that Kleenex was the "what other buyers purchased when buying this" option.

very enjoyable 90 minutes
This live film of a show at the Manchester Apollo has obviously been heavily edited but never the less it was excellent. I am not one of his fans, nor 'Take That' either. I bought this because a friend who is a 'Take That' nutter had seen the show in Aberdeen and raved about it. Obviously he has a good voice and is a good entertainer. A good buy.

GB gets under your skin
Easily one of the sweetest live gigs you can get!GB's voice gotta heal cancer!The set list is great, with couple of swing numbers. Just great. The band is the same old TT's backup band, amazing guys-amazing vibe.Me personally, i would love to hear more solo songs from the Captain Barlow, but it's just me, probably!I would reccomend that for all those who love great quality pop music! I cannot imagine a person who wouldn't admit the class of it all!Thank you, Gary!cheers from Ukraine

So great !
I was in London at the Hammersmith Apollo, the 27th december for seeing and listening Gary! It was gorgeous... He has a great sense of humor! The audience sung all the songs with him! Take That's fans :o)This concert was videotaped in Manchester on December 6th... "Shine" with Mark Owen is amazing! So happy to see them together! Soon, the return of the band? I hope so!This DVD is a good idea! The concert was an intense moment of happiness... This DVD will help me not to forget ... So thank you!
