Customer Reviews of Kylie Minogue - Fever 2002 (Live in Manchester)

Now the things I didn't like:

- No DTS track. On the contrary, the DTS from LIVE IN SYDNEY is superb.

- The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is the worst I've ever hear on a concert with almost no bass or "punch" in it, the sound is almost flat. Again, this one can't match the wonderful surround sound and powerful bass from LIVE IN SYDNEY.

- The incredible slow version of THE LOCO-MOTION sounds weird!.

- I've expected a more spectacular finale with CAN'T GET (BLUE MONDAY*) OUT WITH MY HEAD, but instead you get a "regular" and unispired performance of this smashing hit. *The remix version from ther FEVER SPECIAL EDITION CD is much, much better.

Anyway if you like Kylie Minogue LIVE IN MANCHESTER is a must.

Kylie's Biggest Tour
During half of 2002, Kylie Minogue toured Europe and Australia. This DVD captures it. Live In Manchester is a good concert that explores Kylie's musical catalog rather well from her days as a manufactured pop tart princess to her current status as icon and electro-pop diva.
The concert occurs in seven different acts meant to display Kylie in some of the different manifestaions she has adopted throughout her career.
Cultural references are everywhere in this concert. There's a nod to Keith Haring, and many others from Staney Kubrick, burlesque, and sci-fi flicks. It's all hard to catch, but done very well.
Kylie's dancers have a strange look that coincides with the videos from her 'Fever' album. William Baker (Kylie's stylist for almost ten years!) came up with the ideas for the concert. My only advice is that he should have hired a better choreographer because the dance moves are repetitive at times.
The music is the best thing (isn't that what should be best?) It ranges from latin, hip-hop, trance, euro-pop, funk, to the oddball. Some of her songs recieve heavy reinvention. Her older hits from her days as the 'Loco-Motion' girl are brought into the 21st century and the songs from her artistic, but commercial failure "Impossible Princess" bring an element of darkness to an otherwise frothy, but stylish show. In a great moment, Kylie references Donna Summer incorporating 'I Feel Love' into 'Light Years', songs that are very close cousins.
Kylie's voice sounds great. A definite improvement from her earlier days.
The documentary on this DVD is a fun piece of info about the concert although it was originally cut down from an hour to half an hour.
Projections are cool, although not all the projections are present.
I don't recommend this to a fan who has only bought the 'Fever' album. The lack of knowledge of the other songs might confuse them. This disc is one for the fans who have been with her for a long time and know the history of this lovely Aussie.

From Sydney to Manchester...4 Stars Lost Along The Way
The "Live in Sydney" DVD remains one of my all-time favorite concerts, and gets regular play. The "Live in Manchester" DVD has had its one and only...and a fast-forward one at that. After an interesting opening 2 minutes, I found the rest (save for Chapter 10) difficult to watch. The "let's look at everything from all angles at the same time" editing was tiresome and visually nauseating, and made the uninspired and repetitive choreography impossible to watch (perhaps a blessing in disguise). The dancers (costume, hair, and make-up included) belonged on the set of "Night of the Living Dead"...not a Kylie concert. I've never seen such an ill-conceived and poorly executed effort of this magnitude. A lot of talented people were involved in producing this dud. Someone should have had the guts to speak-up. I'll burn the edited audio to CD and toss the disc. 1 star is generous...this one is a black hole.
