DVD Reviews of Avril Lavigne: The Best Damn Tour - Live In Toronto
DVD Review: Completely overdubbed: Not LIVE at all! The Best Damn Re-recorder Tour!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was looking forward to seeing this DVD but was disappointed right from the start. The audio is completely overdubbed, which means that after the recording of the show they went and re-recorded almost all of Avril's vocals, and some of the guitars too. You're not really hearing the live recording of the show; you're hearing a studio recording made after the show. This means that the producers or label were very unhappy with the quality of the actual live recording and re-did it to make it as perfect as possible. There's nothing new about overdubbing a live performance, in fact it's quite common, but it's usually done to get rid of blatant mistakes. In this case it's been used to mask the entire actual performance. It was hard to find an example, with the exception of some of the dialog between songs, where the actual vocals were being used. How bad could her performance have been? When we buy a live DVD or CD, we don't expect perfection. We expect a few bumps along the way. What we lose in imperfection, we make up for in the drama, spontaneity, passion, and reality of a real person performing live, and singing live. The idea that Avril had to go back into a studio and sync re-recorded voacals to what appears to be EVERY song in the concert is appalling and a slap in the face to her fans. Is The Best Damn Tour (Live In Toronto) really the best that Avril has to offer her fans?
In some places the new audio has overdubbed parts of the song where the backing vocals from the other members of her band have been removed and were never put back in. You have people singing on stage with nothing coming out of their mouths. It's pathetic. If you just want to look at Avril (she does look great) and don't really care what you hear, then you might like this. But I say forget it. Maybe her next concert CD or DVD will really be live and not a fake, which is what this is. Avril, you should be ashamed of yourself for releasing this as it is. You should show a little more respect for your fans.
