This is the first Corrs concert to ever feature on DVD and it comes from one of the most important performances of their career playing live on the BBC to a British audience on St Patricks Day. The concert features songs from their two multi-platinum selling albums: Forgiven, Not Forgotten and Talk On Corners. The performance is great and you can really see how this band began to sound musically on stage, sticking to the original studio recording as opposed to their live show in Live at Lansdowne Road concert some years later. Some notable moments include "Queen Of Hollywood" where Andrea's performance is done with such passion, she is nearly brought to tears. Other highlights include Mick Fleetwoods appearances and some interesting lighting difficulties is noticed in the background during "Joy Of Life"(one of the projected 'The Corrs' symbols is up side down so you see it being corrected throughout the instrumental LOL). This DVD contains no bonus material but the concert is quite enjoyable enough alone.

Nicely performed live concert by the talented Irish Corrs group, recorded on St. Patrick's Day 1998 (Caroline Corr's 25th birthday), at the famed Royal Albert Hall. Good song selection from their then two recorded releases. Musicianship is tight and skilled by the Corr siblings and two back-up members. Many shots of youngest sister and lead vocalist, Andrea, who's beautiful voice and looks are enough alone to hold a viewer's attention. Oldest sister, Sharon, also sees a lot of the camera with her fine violin playing and attractive features. The girls' older brother, Jim, plays keyboards plus guitar and seems content with his sisters as the main attraction. A few flaws, however, do exist in the program. Guest Mick Fleetwood's presence could be done without on three songs, including the bands cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams". If there is a worst part of the whole, it is that the drums are under-amplified. While at the time of this recording, Caroline Corr had only been playing the instrument for seven years. In that short span, she had become quite a competent musician, and downright hits like a ton of bricks. Stories of her often having to replace drum skins and breaking cymbals are surely accurate. This is quite an accomplishment for such a petite young lady. As much a pleasure to the eyes as her sisters, a bit more time in the camera's eyes for Caroline would be in order as well. Overall, though, this is a DVD deserving of a spot in the collection of any Corrs fan.

This concert is superb. This is without a doubt the best concert ever released by the Corrs. Like Mick Fleetwood said: Playing with passion. Truly amazing.
