LAVIGNE AVRIL LIVE IN SEOUL Review: For Any Avril Fan, a must from 2004 show - First Kudos to desertcart, I got this DVD 2 days after I ordered it using the free shipping....way to go friends! Now, this looks like a DVD made from a HD TV "pay per view" kind of thing....that's good, the picture and sound are great. First note the show starts with a non-credited (in fact the wrong song name is printed on the screen....) Sk8er Boi as her opener....so you get at least one more song than listed. There is minimal stage craft, a bit of stage smoke and lights are the only "technical enhancements." Moreover a good listen detects only digital delay and maybe just a hint of reverb on the vocals (the reverb might be natural from the theater). Let me add, forgive my sexist language but Ms. Lavigne plays decent rhythm guitar for a few numbers on her little Telecaster....in jeans and a T shirt...I'm a sucker for a girl with a guitar! Also FYI I detect no protection for copies on the disc.... And the only annoyance is the "HDSBS" logo on the screen at all times. Note finally that the applause is minimized, she goes from one song to another extremely rapidly; you don't miss a note, but that does make this a shorter DVD than it would otherwise be. A very good glimpse of Avril almost unplugged (minimal show-person-ship) and music mainly from her first two CDs.....I really enjoyed it even after multiple listens. I believe this is from her 2004 world tour. Expensive, but worth it to the true Avril-phile. Review: Avril obviously likes to perform. Very energetic. Concert was from 'Under My Skin' era. - She got off to a bit of a slow start, with her singing a bit flat. Her vocal range was not as broad as on her records, but her voice at the concert was lower, which I loved and her voice was much richer. She sounded older and more professional on stage. By the second half of the performance she was in very high gear. She is always a knockout; very pretty without being slutty or revealing in dress in the least. She's sexy without even trying. She really belted out the songs. My wife and I were pretty riveted to the dvd. This was the first time we saw her in a concert video. We never saw one of her shows. I admit I am a huge fan. I have everything she has done as far as her studio albums and many of her videos. It seems that there are many bogus Avril DVDs out there, and even sold by desertcart. This one was great. It was obviously filmed off a TV program, so I guess it was a bootleg, but so what? Highly recommended to any true Avril Lavigne. fan. We love Avril!

For Any Avril Fan, a must from 2004 show
First Kudos to Amazon, I got this DVD 2 days after I ordered it using the free shipping....way to go friends!

Made from a broadcast channel, logo on the screen the whole time. Sound quality is subpar.
First of all, the first copy didn't play and I had to exchange it for another. This doesn't appear to be a professionally recorded video designed for dvd. It looks like someone with a dvr recorded it from a tv broadcast, even the channel logo is in the top corner of the screen the whole time. I can handle the less than perfect video quality, even though the logo on screen implies it's HD, looks like any other run of the mill non-HD concert video, would probably look pretty good on a 55 inch or smaller tv. But the sound!! The sound sucks, to be kind. It sounds as if you are listening to it through your I-phone inside of a box. There is no true stereo, no base, no rear surround, nothing. That being said, it is watchable as long as you aren't expecting a concert experience in your home. If this was recorded in HD or remastered in HD and 7 channel sound and lose the logo, it would be fantastic, because it has a bunch of great songs!

Love the concert of 2010, but bought a wrong DVD concert of 2004
I am reviewing for the Avril's concert I went to while I was living in Korea at that time. Love the concert, and got couple of good shots of her. Too bad, I went there pretty late after work (90 minutes plus on sub-way). No seats but all was cool because I managed to see her live. I am buying the official DVD finally. UPDATED (16 Aug 2014): This is not Avril Lavigne concert I went to at Seoul back in 2010. The concert on the DVD was from August, 2004, and I already seen in from Youtube but released date is on 2013 on the DVD. Oh well, I bought the wrong item. I really want to put 5 stars just because of Avril Lavigne but the title didn't specify what year of concert, and I wrongly assumed it was year 2010 because of the released date was 2013. So 3 stars only for the review.

A great DVD from the earlier days of an original dynamic Canadian singer, This DVD shows how Avril if she is not already an icon soon will be. This DVD shows the promise she showed,

bien :}
LES CRIS DE LA FOULE SONT SOUVENT TRÈS GÊNANTS. c'est la raison qui m'a poussé de ne pas évaluer le DVD comme étant génial. souvent le montage est mal fait,c'est a dire il n'y a pas une liaison entre une chanson et une autre. Avril rentre un peu en retard sur scène {quelques secondes de retard} malgré que ses musiciens ont débuté la musique. la liste des chansons est la suivante: 1.sk8er boi 2.he wasn't 3.my happy ending 4.losing grip 5.take me away 6.freak out 7.nobody's fool 8.i'm with you 9.forgotten 10.fall to pieces 11.unwanted 12.nobody's home 13.don't tell me 14.complicated 15.knocking on heaven's door

DVD Top, Hülle Flop
Die DVD ist für einen Fan richtig gut, der Ton ist zeitweise nicht der beste, aber ganz ok. Leider hat mich die Hülle sehr enttäuscht. Als Fan sammle ich natürlich die DVDs und möchte diese ins Regal stellen. Die hier kommt in einem Karton anstatt in einer richtigen DVD Hülle. Nach etwas bastelarbeit und einer alten DVD Hülle ist nun alles ok. Ich wusste dies vorher nicht, also bitte beachten.

Better than Toronto, not as good as Tokyo
Excellent enregistrment. Le DVD est de moins bonne qualité que le Live au Budokan mais le packaging est magnifique. Pour les collectionneurs!
