With a November 2001 Las Vegas performance that became an HBO special, Britney Spears headlines a visual spectacle that surpasses even Vegas's stage shows. From the opening 'Oops! I Did It Again' to the closing 'I'm a Slave 4 U,' Spears and her dance troupe athletically romp through a live, life-size, 90-minute music video. There's no musical emphasis (usually the original recordings play while Spears nominally pays attention to what she's supposed to be singing), but that's not the point.
Soft-spoken offstage, Spears becomes someone else entirely in front of an audience: numerous costume changes, a plethora of filmed footage, awesome acrobatics, and a gigantic stage set create the ultimate triumph of visuals over music. During the encore, 'Baby One More Time,' rain drenches Spears, giving a born entertainer one final opportunity to leave her fans awestruck. The concert was broadcast live to four military bases, and Spears acknowledges the soldiers' service in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. --Kevin Filipski

Rating:  - too much props, no singing
I watched this at a friends house. That Britney the lip synched was no surprise. What I didn't expect is that every song was lip synched! It's a shame really. There is a highlight though: The backup band (did they even play before?) is set free during an interlude, and they really funk it up bad! If they did this for an hour and put it on a DVD, I'd buy that.
Rating:  - Entertainment, nothing more
This concert is simple eye candy for those who just want to be entertained by a young girl in tight outfits performing sexual dance routines that young teens should not be seeing yet their parents are too redundant to practice parental discretion. The entire concert is lipsynched except for 2 performances. "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know" is completely live and is sung in Britney's natural tone instead of the tampered, high-pitched tone featured on her albums. It's extremely deep, yet soothingly beautiful. I only wish she would sing like that all the time. "...Baby One More Time" is partially live with some backing vocals.
Also, that song should NEVER be sung in ballad form because the lyrics are pure idiocy.
This concert gets boring for me since most all of it is just centered around Britney's costume changes and sexuality. I would much rather perfer a display of talent with little or no outfit changes instead. Also, the speech she gives seems dishonest and with false emotion. Everyone who has viewed "Crossroads" knows that Britney can't act nor pull off the 'sweet and innocent' stereotype. It just seems so scripted and follows up with "now, I'm going to sing for you..." in which she doesn't actually do, but lipsynchs to add comical mockery to it all.
Overall, it's not really a concert I'd expect from a musical artist. It's
just entertainment and something I'd expect to see on an adult version of Broadway. Not recommended.

Birthday present for my nephew who has been watching it ever since he got it! I think it was a definite hit!
Rating: - Amazing!
I am a huge fan of high production tours, and Britney Spears delivers! This is a filmed version of her widely successful "Dream Within A Dream" Tour to promote '...Baby One More Time', 'Oops!...I Did It Again', and 'Britney'. Alot of people claim that Britney ripped off other artists to create this tour, I highly disagree. Britney took parts of her favortie artists' tours and mixed it all together to make her own. This tour is not a ripoff of anyone, but a tribute at certain points while being strongly Britney's own show.
I purchased this expecting it to be cool, but not AMAZING! I never thought that anyone could equal any of Madonna's concerts, but in terms of entertainment and fun, I think Britney surpassed Madonna's tours.
You won't be dissapointed if you buy this.
Rating: - Very Good Concert!
This DVD is actually pretty good. It has the links to either watch the full show or to watch each performance separately.
Britney Spears gives a really good show in this HBO live from Las Vegas presentation. Her songs are very catchy and the cameras are very good on following her and catching good close ups to Britney and her dancers.
This DVD has a really cool beginning, as well as a fun little band video. Britney and her team really ran the extra mile with this concert as it's really entertaining. It has really good choreographed dances, as well as special effects, and lots of costume changes. Also you get to see at least one Elvis there in the mix.
While the show starts with fire explosions and very high teck looking. It ends really cool with rain and a very nice sensual "baby one more time" that I kind of like better than the original one.
It's a fun concert, didn't find any mistakes on this one, defiantly one of Britney's greatest concerts or her time.
