If Josh Groban's unabashedly melodramatic musical fusion inspires grousing on both sides of the classical/pop pundit divide, the screams of the (mostly) young female fans that punctuate these 2004 performances at L.A.'s historic Greek theater better underscore the real point. This set's CD and more expansive DVD complement each other well; if anything, supplemented by a live string ensemble and crack backing band, they're a warmer, more focused showcase for the singer's talents than the studio albums that made his meteoric fame. In peak form, Groban variously delivers forceful renditions of his pop-operatic powerhouses "Canto Alla Vita" and "Anna Luce Del Sole" (the former featuring a drum solo [!] from Groban, the latter a fine guest turn by Bela Fleck on banjo), takes a surprising solo piano break on Paul Simon's "America," waxes Central Asian on Troy's "Remember" and brings the crowd to its feet with the heart-on-his-sleeve dramatics of Closer's "Never Let Go." They're all informed by the singer's insouciant, youthful enthusiasm, arguing that Groban is gifted with more than just a magnificent voice; he's a complete natural as a performer as well. The DVD also includes a tour diary narrated with typical charm by the singer, as well as bonus live performance of "Believe" from the Polar Express soundtrack. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Josh Groban's 2002 PBS "Great Performances" special was a #1 selling DVD and the best-selling long-form music video of 2003. His second "Great Performances" special was taped at L.A.'s Greek Theater in the summer of 2004. For fans of the young sophisticated pop phenomenon who has sold more than 8 million albums, this CD+DVD package is just the latest great performance in the career of Josh Groban. DVD Extras: On the road with Josh for Summer 2004 Tour and a special performance of "Believe" from The Polar Express (it's PBS footage mixed w/ film footage).

Customer Reviews:

Josh is even better in live!.......2007-04-14

I recently saw Josh on his new tour with Awake, and it was so awesome that inspired me to buy this DVD to replicate the experience a little bit. I loved it! Especially loved the few extra songs I've never heard before (Mi Morena, America). Some people were complaining about the nasal sound and quality, but this is a live show so of course it sounds a little different. Bottom line is I think Josh is a great preformer and his very funny also :)

Very Good!.......2007-02-09

This CD/DVD was very good. I watched the DVD and was impresed with the way He handles the "spot light." He seems to be a very humble person and I think that is what makes his music so enjoyable to listen to. Not forgetting his awesome voice!

Let me explain..........2007-01-14

There are several reviews that talk about how annoying it is for the fans to wave light sticks and/or American flags in this DVD. Perhaps if I explain why, it will seem less annoying.

The waving of the light sticks was started at the very beginning of his first tour, mainly to show him how much the fans appreciated the concerts. The first idea was to wave them during the last verse of "You Raise Me Up," when the choir came out. Later, fans added another show of support by waving blue light sticks during "Vincent (Starry Starry Night."

OK, if you still find that annoying, that's your right. However, the flag waving at the end of "To Where You Are" was special. This concert was filmed on September 11, and the flags were waved at the end of "To Where You Are" for those who were lost, and the families of those who were lost, on 9/11/2001.

It's your right if you still find these things annoying. I just thought I'd try to help you to understand.

Since this is a forum for giving our opinions of the DVD, I have to say that I love it. He has a beautiful voice and I love listening to him under any circumstance. The DVD is wonderful, IMHO.

Re-Live the Concert Experience!.......2007-01-09

Was fortunate enough to attend Josh's "Closer" concert tour date at Jones Beach--amazing voice. Getting this album brought back all of the memories of that amazing evening outdoors under a "Starry, Starry Night." I used to not bother purchasing live albums because they had poor audio quality, but not anymore. Love this album! (Actually, I love all of his stuff.)

DVD is so worth the price.......2007-01-08

I disagree with some of the reviewers complaining about a nasal sounding CD. Yes, there are few parts where it may sound a little nasal but people have to remember that this a LIVE concert and if they wanted perfect sound they should buy the studio album instead. He still sounded brilliant and great. The DVD is fantastic for all those who don't have the luck or means to attend a Groban concert. It captures the energy and pure joy of a concert. Sometimes its even better than being at the concert because you can see Groban close up. I hope that there will be a concert DVD released for the AWAKE concerts.

Oye Mi Canto: Los Exitos.......2007-07-13

This is one of the best CD's ever by Gloria Estefan. It is vibrant, energetic and a joy to listen to!

viva tradition!!!.......2007-01-02

FIRST OF ALL LET ME SAY FOR STARTERS
"OYE ME CANTO" DOES NOT MEAN HEAR MY VOICE IN SPANISH
IT IS A LOOSE TRANSLATION,WHICH REALLY DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR
IT WAS TITLED THAT WAY TO ESCAPE IT REACHING CUBA'S UNDERGROUND
IT TALKS ABOUT FREEDOM,WHICH IS SOMETHING CUBA DOES NOT HAVE!
MI TIERRA MEANING "MY LAND OR HOMELAND" ALONG WITH A FEW SONGS FROM THAT ALBUM
SOME FROM HER GREATES HITS VOL.1 AND 2 IN SPANISH
ABIENDO PUERTAS AND THREE WISHED FROM "ABRIENDO PUERTAS" WHICH MEANS OPENING DOORS
DESDE LA OSCURIDAD WICH TRANSLATES INTO "COMING OUT OF THE DARK"
BECAME HER "COMEBACK SONG" AFTER HER TRAGIC AUTO ACCIDENT MANY YEARS AGO

SO EITHER IN ENGLISH OR ESPANOL,THIS ALBUM IS A MUST FOR ANY GLORIA ESTEFAN FAN
TO QUOTE A LINE FROM ANOTHER FAMOUS SONG
"RYTHEM IS GONNA GET YA"!!!!!!!!

Spanish hits.......2006-11-11

This is a good compilation of Spanish hits from Ms. Estefan. Even though I have heard most of these before through her original Spanish-spoken albums, and as bonus tracks on her albums, it is still nice to pop this little ditty into the CD player and enjoy them back to back. "Santo Santo" is a really good dance song....and it has a very modern Latin feel to it. It would be nice if Gloria would come out with some new music. It's been a while. She deserves respect for being one of the pioneers of Latin-flavored music in the U.S. Hopefully, this will not be the last of her Spanish-spoken hit collections.

Biased collection of Gloria's legacy.......2006-10-23

This is a great collection of her Spanish material, but I must express my dissapointment in the fact that it is mostly her 3 solo tropical albums that are featured. There are only FIVE songs on this CD that are not from this CD.

It would have been a great collection if they featured some of her early Miami Sound Machine hits like "A Toda Maquina" or even the Spanish versions of "Conga" and "Words Get In The Way". They didn't even include her huge duet with Alejandro Fernandez "El Jardin".

It's still a good CD. But if you're a real fan, there's really nothing on this CD that will really stand out for you, only the fact that now "Santo Santo" and the Spanish version of "Steal Your Heart" (No Pretendo) is finally available on a Gloria CD.

A Latin Queen's Crowning Achievement.......2006-10-07

The English translation of Gloria Estefan's "Oye Mi Canto" is "hear my voice," and this collection of Spanish essentials showcases an instrument more infused with passion and conviction than is often evident in the artist's mainstream output. The set opener, "Mi Tierra," is a nostalgic tribute to Cuba, and sets the tone for an album that makes quite an artistic statement. The eighteen songs here encompass the last twenty years of Gloria's career, from front-woman of the Miami Sound Machine ("No Te Olvidare" and "Si Voy A Perderte") to emerging solo artist (an inspired, gospel-fueled "Desde La Oscuridad," the Spanish counterpart to 1991's "Coming Out Of The Dark") to Latin songstress (the majority of the songs, culled from her three Grammy-Award-winning albums, 1993's "Mi Tierra," 1995's "Abriendo Puertas," and 2000's "Alma Caribena"). Also included are a sampling of non-album tracks, the most noteworthy being the #1 single "No Pretendo," a sultry ballad driven by flamenco guitars, and an alternate, more danceable version of "Hoy." The material blends a wide variety of styles and rhythms, from traditional Cuban balladry (the signature song "Con Los Anos Que Me Quedan") to salsa (the club anthem "Oye," "No Me Dejes De Querer," and "Hoy") and regional Mexican (the bubbly "Abriendo Puertas"). And while there are some glaring omissions here-namely, the beautiful ballads "Mas Alla" and "En El Jardin," both of which were chart-toppers, and the infectious "Corazon Prohibido," which peaked at #2-this album, as a whole, presents a striking and impressive array of sound and substance, with its singer resonating both maturity and confidence. Simply put, her voice is undeniable.

George Lamond is absolutely brilliant in this new reggaton cd. Together with K7, he has created a danceable cd that you won't be able to stop listening to! Once again, George has showed us his unique ability to adapt to the changing latin music world and has his finger on the pulse of what's hot. I highly recommend this cd!

Real Verdi singing.......2006-05-08

Thomas Hampson should be tied down and forced to listen to this great artist sing Verdi, THE WAY IT SUPPOSED TO BE SUNG. He would learn about phrasing, breath control, power, tone, artistry and drama all at the same time. Hampson can't carry Maestro Warren's scores for him.

Leonard Warren Had a Great Voice.......2005-11-02

I just read some reviews here that said the sound quality was not good on all the songs contained in this collection. Up to now I only have heard three of the songs on Disc 1...but they exemplify great singing. Those three songs from Pagliacci, The Barber of Seville, and La Traviata make this set worth buying in and of themselves. I read that Mr. Warren died at 49 years of age during an actual performance while singing on stage at The Metropolitan Opera House! That's quite a story! This set looks alittle expensive but I usually buy used---in this case $10 off the new price. I will listen some more to the rest of the set and ammend my review if necessary. But, for now, I'm very glad I purchased a sample of the beautiful voice and musical and dramatic artistry of Leonard Warren. Email:boland7214@aol.

A great collection.......2004-10-12

Leonard Warren was part of two great traditions: Firstly, from a tradition of American Baritones, featuring the likes of Robert Merrill, Cornell MacNeil, and more recently, Sherrill Milnes. Secondly, and sadly, from a tradition of opera singers who died when they should have been at the height of their powers: a list that includes Ettore Bastianini, Mario Lanza and countless others.

This collection shows the artistry of Leonard Warren. On the first cd, is the work most people would recognize Warren for, Rigoletto, Iago, with a few roles he didn't normally play thrown in, such as Escamillio, and most interestingly, Wolfram from Tannhauser.

The second cd is fun only if, like me, you like to hear opera singers singing, and singing well I might add, in a different medium. On this cd, Leonard Warren sings sea shanties, Irish songs, religious songs, all with that marvelous instrument of his. It was a side of Leonard Warren I Was excited to hear, to hear this American Baritone singing in English for once.

It's fantastic to see an artist of his calibre getting the recognition he deserves, and the two cds are an excellent purchase.

A magnificent collection.......2003-04-25

Warren was a superstar. His voice of supreme power and lovely sound was so versatile. He could sing Verdi like Verdi always wished his wonderful music to be sung and he could sing American songs with the patriotic passion they should convey. This collection is magnificent.

One of the Richest High Baritones of the Century..........2001-09-08

Leonard Warren possessed an unusual voice; a lyric baritone with the fullness of a powerful basso cantante. His high notes traveled into the upper baritone stratosphere, with a beauty matched to my ears only by Riccardo Stracciari... and he sang them with an ease most tenors can only envy. (And I love the tenor voice, don't make any mistake about that!) Listening to this two CD set brought one thing forth to my mind- Leonard Warren flat out enjoyed singing and he enjoyed spreading that fabulous feeling far and wide.
Listen to his renditions of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, the four sea shanties gracing this disc, and America the Beautiful. How many singers have ever rendered these old songs with such enthusiasm and beauty? To my ears, few can compare. A Little Bit of Heaven is a charming little piece of nostalgia for old Ireland, with perfectly placed high notes that provide a baritone counterpoint to the marvelous Scottish and Irish tenors that have graced our ears throughout this century. The sound on most of the songs is clear, showing off Warren's voice to his and the listeners' advantage.
Now we come to the opera arias and there's a rich assortment on display here. The Gounod Faust aria is from a rare Russian concert recording and is gorgeous, though it's accompanied by a piano. (Nothing against pianos, but I wanted the full orchestra. On other selections in the songs CD, the piano works superbly. Just a matter of personal taste.) The classic Scintille Diamant from Offenbach's Tales of Hoffman shows off his upper range, as he hits the high G-sharps with authority and ease. One of my favorites is the great aria from Verdi's MacBeth, in which Warren gets it all together. MacBeth's humanity is rarely on display in this version of the drama, but here it is in spades, along with his arrogance, fear, and anger at being attacked. "Birnam Wood on the march indeed!" The ease and fullness of the high notes, which are all in service to one of Warren's greatest characterizations, are a wonder.
Don't get the idea that only his high notes sounded good, or that Warren was a bellowing beast. He floated a pillowy pianissimo that has to be heard to be believed. The only other baritone voice that compares in this respect, of those whom I have heard, is Cornell MacNeil. I regret that there seems to be no great baritone duets these two great singers could have engaged in, like Verdi provided for bassos in Don Carlos. Does anyone out there remember either of the two great performances by Ghiaurov and Talvela of the King Philip/Grand Inquisitor duets under either Stein or Solti?
Back to Leonard Warren...
In terms of sound on the opera selections, the later, the better, though most of the pieces sound fine. I must agree a bit with an earlier reviewer in the case of Il Balen, from Verdi's Il Trovatore. The sound is fuzzy, bloated, and unclear, at least on my machine... but most all the others sound fine on the same machine. What happened? I had several versions of this great aria on LP, and I do remember one of them being well below the sonic standard of any of the others. The version on the old Cellini conducted complete recording with Bjoerling and Milanov sounded fine, as did the version he recorded with Leontyne Price and Richard Tucker. Why have this one, which does a disservice to the singer and the CD as a whole? And where is his incredible Per me ora fatale from the same opera? Even hearing a badly recorded version of Leonard Warren performing this aria would be a thrill. His singing of Il Balen is excellent- it just sounds foggy. Except for that, I would recommend this set to anyone interested in Warren's singing who might not have many of these recordings on CD. If you have virtually all of them, why bother with this set... unless there's a song you just cannot live without?
The Otello excerpts are exceptional, and there's the treats of his Nemico della patria (Andrea Chenier by Giordano) and Di Provenza (La Traviata) which are my favorite versions of these arias.
To those who might love the singing of Sherrill Milnes and Thomas Hampson, Leonard Warren should be heard and savored for what he was: an American original we can all be proud of.

Este cancion tan caliente pero..........2006-04-29

"Oye mi canto" is N.O.R.E.'s first foray into reggaeton. According to Nore's bloated ego( his ego matches his weight, bloated! ) Oye is the FIRST breakout reggaeton in the States. Well, I wouldn't say that at all. It may have preceded 'Gasolina' by a few days or weeks, but whatever the case may be, it is still a banger I give it to Nore! Let me just get this out the way, Nore is NOT a reggaeton artist he is a MC and an ENGLISH SPEAKING mc at dat! He, in my opinion, simply jumped on the bandwagon and used his boricua half to capitalize. The fact that he got Daddy Yankee, Gem Estrella and Nina Sky on the track helps as well. Nore DOES NOT SPEAK SPANISH let's be clear!! the extent of his spanish are cornball lyrics like "Padrino, while i lay up in the casino" and dropping towns in PR "I be Fajardo, San Juan, Bayamon." His rhymes have always been off the wall and i like the early Nore stuff ALOT! " The War Report" is one of the best hip hop albums EVER! But when Nore jumped on the reggaeton bandwagon, he lost my respect. The song is good yes but trust me, if Nore didn't have Yankee and Luny Tunes and others to back him up, he'd be a complete joke! Say I'm hating huh? If you ever see Nore go up to him and ask him to kick a freestyle in Spanish. Watch him scratch his fat head and go " I be the padrino in the casino oye mami my name is Nore here's the story." His medicore bi lingual AT BEST reggaeton attempts are duds, "Oye" is his one shining moment. Nore, please, go hook up with Pone again son cuz without Pone you really just un payaso yatu sabes? Back when CNN was the ish is when Nore could be respected now I really look at him and have to blurt out a big QUE QUE???!!

The Clean Version would be 5 Stars.......2005-12-31

I really like the Oye Mi Canto song, both versions, with that great danceable beat. However, I just don't need to hear any profanity! I have kids and I have to make sure I fast forward the beginning of the song on the album version. Still hoping a cleaned version gets released.
