Product Description: Josh Groban in Concert is a special DVD package including a CD featuring footage from his PBS Great Performance appearance. The CD contains songs not available on his self-titled debut album. Over a dozen songs are performed during the show including "To Where You Are," "The Prayer," and a cover of Don McLean's "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)." Additional footage includes a 20-minute conversation with Josh and John Williams. ?
Amazon.com: Josh Groban in Concert has all the ingredients to be a long-running PBS staple: a young (21), good-looking performer with a golden voice; songs in Italian and Spanish for the crossover crowd (i.e., Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman) and pop and movie songs for the mainstream crowd; guest stars galore (David Foster, John Williams, Angie Stone, Andrea Corr, Lili Haydn); a large orchestra; and striking but not obtrusive visual effects. The centerpiece of this DVD/CD combo (also available in a CD jewel case) is the 80-minute concert DVD, filmed in Pasadena, California, in October 2002 and featuring numerous songs from Groban's debut CD, including "You're Still You," which catapulted him into stardom when he sang it on Ally McBeal. There are also two new songs--the ballad "Broken Vow" accompanied by Foster, and "For Always," with the orchestra conducted by John Williams, who wrote the song for the Steven Spielberg film A.I.
The 37-minute CD offers seven songs performed in the concert (including the two not on the previous CD, "Broken Vow" and "For Always"), plus "O Holy Night." The DVD has excellent picture and sound (PCM stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1, and DTS), interviews, and backstage footage, and the combination with the CD is an excellent value. Groban's fans, of course, will consider it a treasure at any price. --David Horiuchi
Josh Groban (spouse Brenda Reid) Josh Groban has a wonderful voice. Any Cd/dvd he does comes out great.
Fantastic concert, a must see!! This is Josh at his best! It is a very laid back atmosphere allowing Josh to show his audience his more personal side. His vocals are impeccable along with his featured guests appearances. Well worth the money.
Good Gift for a Josh Fan I bought this for my wife when she first discovered Josh Groban. She has enjoyed it and the quality of the film, given that it was a live concert, is pretty good. The DVD won't satisfy a hard core "Grobanite", but then again, they probably already have a copy of it!
Absolutely beautiful! Josh Groban is an angel sent from heaven! There is nothing more beautiful than the sound of his voice. And to be able to watch him is just an added bonus! The DVD is great and it is nice to also have the live CD that comes along with it. If you are a fan, you will love it all and if you aren't, you will become one! Josh is the most amazingly talented man, and to hear that voice come out of someone so young is almost unbelievable! His music and voice will fill your soul with the most peaceful and beautiful feeling! He is one of a kind! You will see the passion in what he does when you watch him sing. You can't go wrong with this purchase!
Can't stop listening I'm a big fan of Josh Groban's so this is a treat to see a concert. Seeing faces to names is a plus too -- his family, his fans, the people behind the whole production, musicians, etc. All the background info. What can I say; Josh could sing the alphabet and I'd be happy. I'd addicted to his voice.
