- Not good. Not good at all.
I got this on the premise that it was region 0 and would therefore play in a normal US DVD player and could replace my region 2 copy. This is not, in fact, the case. The DVD cover makes it very clear that it is for regions 2,3,4,5 & 6. So putting that aside, I thought the CD might be okay - I know it's a great show. The CD is absolutely terrible - I haven't managed to get through the whole thing because the tracks I did try to listen to - "Hunting High and Low" and "You'll Never Get Over Me" both faded out halfway through the song. For example, "You'll Never..." cut out the whole part of the song where Anneli sings the countermelody - "I will get over you", so that's pretty much at least 2/3rds of the song.
I cannot believe that this was approved for release. It is atrocious. Do not waste your money.
The only reason it gets 2 stars is because despite all it's flaws, it is still a-ha, and i could never give them just one star.

- Great music, DVD does not work in USA
I love the music and the live concert is just fine (I don't agree with other reviews on the quality of the sound)! However, the DVD does not work on my US system which is something I was really looking foward to seeing.

- Great addition to any A-HA fans collection.
I purchased this cd and dvd for my wife. I knew the cd would work from reading the other reviews. I wasn't sure about the dvd. My wife loves the cd! She listens to it almost everyday. The dvd works perfectly fine in our laptops. It is actually a really clear and sounds fantastic. My wife had seen some of the concert footage from YouTube. She was totally excited to see the whole concert together without clicking from song to song. We both recommend this cd/dvd combination to any A-HA fan. You will not be disappointed.
- Ugh!
I was really hoping this was just an audio recording of the DVD. They butchered the audio to death.
1. The songs have been shortened with poorly timed, unnatural fades.
2. The songs were rearranged completely out of order from which the were played on the DVD.
3. The recording itself sounds like someone put a cassette recorder in front of their tv while the DVD was playing. I highly doubt this is even a stereo recording.
The DVD is not region 0 as advertised. It does not play on my U. S. DVD player. Someone mentioned in another review it played on their computer - I hope that works. Although I do have the standard region 1 DVD from when it was first released so that's not too important to me. I bought this primarily for the cd. I am disappointed.
- Simply respelendent!!!
Okay so I bought this due to the fact I am a die hard a'ha fan...then I read the only two reviews on here and was worried but to my delight this set is wonderful. I realize the dvd is not zoned for us here in good ole California but luckily my computer was willing to run it for me and its fantastic!!! love it love it love it. The CD quality was excellent quality. This could only be better if the cd was zoned for the states. Other than that you couldn't really ask for anything more. You wont regret this purchase.
