DVD Reviews of N Sync - Live at Madison Square Garden

DVD Review: Mostly excellent concert, bad video work, mediocre audio
Summary: 4 Stars

This particular concert would have been astounding to watch from close up in person. The vocals were mostly spot on. I have to give these boys a hand. They really can sing in concert, which I was not expecting when I bought this video.

The grandeur of the show was degraded by the shoddy camera work, the bad cuts and the horrible audio mix.

Video

The camera work intercuts way too frequently usually not pointing at the correct location to get the perspective of the concert. Although, the camera work is good enough to get most of the action.

Audio

The audio recording sound quality is good, but not excellent. The vocal mixes were, in most cases, way too low next to the music. At many times, you can barely hear JC or Justin over the music and noise. It's probably tough to mix a concert in among loud screaming fans, but I'm sure there has to be someone who could have done it. Another example is during 'No Strings Attached', Lance's vocals are way too loud compared to Justin.

And, on many songs you can hear the breathing against the microphone (very annoying). While I know this can only be avoided to some degree, they could have turned the mics down during the non-singing parts.

Song Renditions

In most cases, the band does excellent renditions of the songs. Many times, they rival the studio recording... which is quite a feat in a live setting. Not many bands can accomplish this with such mastery no matter how hard they try.

The exception to this is "Bye Bye Bye". This is probably the worst rendition on the video. The haphazard dance movements get in the way of the vocals and cause noticable degredation. Plus, the guys were just plain tired and their vocals were not pristine seeing as it was an encore. This song should have been first, not last. I know they save the best for last, but in this case, I would have preferred to hear this one first.

The best rendition being "God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You" with a close second to "I Thought She Knew".

Dancing

While the dancing was very energetic, I felt that many of the syncronized movements got in the way of the song. The songs were, in most cases, just not energetic enough to warrant that kind of dance. I still have to give them cheers to be able to be that synchronized and still sing that well (except Bye Bye Bye).

Bantering

There was a lot of bantering by the band members between the songs. There was some kind of chatter between nearly every song. There were only two songs where they went from one song directly into another without stopping.

Overall

This is an excellent concert to watch on video. It's too bad I didn't get to see it live (and probably never will since the band has disbanded).

One last thing, throughout the video, they keep making references to being 'here to stay' in retort to those who were saying boy band days are numbered. To that, I say, told you so. Those were my sentiments at the time even though I have since watched the video and I do admire their ability to put on a concert without lipsyncing (that I can tell anyway).

If you're a fan, it's definitely worth a buy. If you like to watch excellent concerts, this is definitely one not to miss. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the production. Especially after having seen a Backstreet Boys concert where the production was so much lower and the quality was average (and in some cases, below average) concert quality.
