• Travis - More Than Us - Live In Glasgow | DVD | (03/12/2001) from £11.52   |  Saving you £3.47 (30.12%)   |  RRP £14.99

  In the summer of 2001, Travis embarked on a rather hectic festival schedule which saw them headlining three huge gigs over the Bank Holiday weekend--the Reading and Leeds Festivals and Glasgow's Gig On The Green. More Than Us--Live in Glasgow is the final of the three shows, and captures them at their best. Coming on the back of the release of their third album The Invisible Band it was inevitable that most of the tracks would be culled from this, including instant favourites "Sing" and "Side", but they do keep a healthy amount of old favourites on the set list as well-"Driftwood", "Writing To Reach You", "All I Want To Do Is Rock" and "Why Does It Always Rain Me". Not that the crowd need winning over--this is a local concert for local people after all. They've come a long way from their humble beginnings as Oasis's favourite support act, so much so that Noel Gallagher is now seen watching from the wings. He looks suitably impressed, as he rightfully should be--this is a great performance from one of Britain's best-loved bands. On the DVD: The concert is accompanied by a video diary of the band on the road--with footage from their tour bus and backstage at the three gigs. Along with this is a wealth of special features including a great acoustic version of "More Than This" for the Jo Wiley show, which you can set up to be intercut with the concert footage or viewed as a separate film; a special playlist feature, which groups the tracks from the concerts in the order of the albums they come from to give you a chronological guide to Travis live and a full Travis discography. Recorded in Dolby 5.1 along with the option to view the concert from a total of four different angles. --Helen Marquis

• Paul Weller - Live At The Royal Albert Hall | DVD | (27/11/2000) from £12.70   |  Saving you £2.29 (15.30%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Paul Weller Live at the Royal Albert Hall is a snapshot of his compelling live act, which along with his ability to produce outstanding studio albums, has given him a reputation as the doyen of short-tempered dad-rock. His ability to cut through the gritty sound and grainy visuals (this video looks for all the world like a transfer from an over-exposed 8mm film) is what makes this release worthy of a place on fans' shelves. We get a slab of good stuff, including "Friday Street", a stonking "The Changing Man", "Woodcutter's Son" and no fewer than 15 other tracks. As once 'twas with The Who--and neo-mods will find that this performance reaffirms Weller's debt to that era--Weller's restrained belligerence carries the show, to the extent that his frequent and incongruously musoid guitar-switchings and tuning adjustments are easily forgiven. --Roger Thomas

• Eurythmics - Peacetour | DVD | (28/06/2005) from £9.43   |  Saving you £-3.44 (-57.40%)   |  RRP £5.99

  As music DVDs go, sweet dreams must surely be made of this. Quite apart from carrying a great performance (although the music production is perhaps too sanitary overall), the label appears to have gone all-out to ensure that pretty much every extra feature that the DVD format supports is represented here in the best possible way. The performance is taken from the final (London Docklands Arena) date of the 1999 tour in support of Amnesty International and Greenpeace and includes all the classics you'd expect. There are some nice multi-angle options on a couple of the songs, a self-congratulatory and patronising interview/documentary section (but better to have it than not), a discography, a complete lyrics section, and a rather dull gallery of photographs which looks like a way of using up the PR department's leftovers. But the music's great if you're a fan and pretty damn good even if you're not, and as a demonstration of how all music DVDs should be produced--i.e. stuffed to the last possible byte with all kinds of material--this release is the business. --Roger Thomas

• Pop Idol Tour 2002 | DVD | (25/11/2002) from £5.49   |  Saving you £14.50 (264.12%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Let's face it: Will and Gareth were always going to be the main draw on the Pop Idol 2002 Tour), the live show that took the kids out of the studio and onto the road. After the drawn-out finale of the TV show, the ones who didn't make it got to strut their stuff in front of thousands of teenage girls all screaming for Will and Gareth. It's a glitzy show, undoubtedly, but there is little here that bears repeat viewing, since we saw the wannabes do this every Saturday night for what felt like a century. Given that, thus far, not one of the other so-called "stars" (after Mr Gates, Mr Danesh and Mr Young) have even troubled the Top 40, this tour seems like 14 minutes more fame than most of them deserved. One for the fans only. On the DVD: Pop Idol 2002 Tour is presented in 16:9 anamorphic and Dolby 5.1, so it looks and sounds great, but the standard behind-the-scenes feature and split-screen options are dull and hardly provide much of an insight. --Jonathan Weir

The Prague Philharmonia, conducted by Eugene Kohn. The star-studded official Pavarotti Memorial Concert, filmed live at the stunning ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Decca releases this very special all-star pop and classical concert to mark the first anniversary of Pavarotti's death. Performed against the stunning backdrop of the ancient city of Petra in the Jordanian desert, this is THE official memorial concert, organised and supported by Pavarotti's widow. Fabulous guest line-up includes Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Placido Domingo, Angela Gheorghiu, Zucchero, Jos Carreras and Jovanotti, with the Prague Philharmonia conducted by Eugene Kohn. Televised across the world and filmed in HD widescreen this makes a wonderful addition to the Pavarotti legacy. Pavarotti had a special relationship with the Queen of Jordan and always wanted to perform there. Unfortunately he never got to do this during his lifetime, so holding the Memorial Concert at Petra seemed only fitting. Filmed in High Definition Widescreen Extras: Memories of Pavarotti (11 minutes of interviews with artists) and the Memorial Ceremony (approximately 1hr 15 minutes)
