Following the best-selling album of 2007-the #1 Pop, quadruple-platinum Noel-singer, Josh Groban headlines a new CD+DVD set, featuring live versions of several of his hits plus appearances by Angelique Kidjo and Lucia Micarelli. Filmed in 2007 in Salt Lake City, in honor of his first arena concert, which was held in the same city where he performed at the 2002 Winter Olympics closing ceremonies, Awake Live raises up ever higher the most popular young Adult Contemporary star of our era.

I really appreciate this excellent DVD documentation of Josh's Salt Lake City concert on his AWAKE tour. I was blessed to see him in Sacramento during the first leg of this tour last March. When he added the second leg of the tour for late summer, I flew to Seattle in August to enjoy the magic of this concert once again. No matter where he performs he is fabulous and his energy and interaction with the audience is gorgeous. This DVD captures the energy and devotion of Josh's audiences. Even little kids were groovin'. It is rare to go to concerts where audiences are uniformly respectful and classy. Josh draws these kinds of fans and the feeling of being in a total "lovefest" with such a spectacular and flawless performer whose voice has no equal is beyond description. Not even a heavy duty downpour that we confronted after the concert could dampen the enthusiasm of people exiting The Key Arena into a traffic jam that boggled the mind. So I am going to close this brief review with a heartfelt thank you for a treasure that I will revisit often. Rain or Shine.

I have watched this DVD two times since buying it yesterday and I must say it is by far THE BEST of all of Josh Groban's DVD's! The entire concert is excellent, but it is worth the price alone for the live version of the song "Awake"! If you are a Josh Groban fan, this CD/DVD is an absolute must have!! It blows his other DVD's away!

I have already watched this DVD through twice, and couldn't wait to sit down and write a review. In short, it is absolutely FANTASTIC! The sound quality is perfect (just as good as "Josh Groban in Concert") and the camera work is terrific (Josh is all over the place, and there are more than enough camera angles to cover him and his band/orchestra.) Josh's voice is incredible, even with all his movement across the stage his voice is strong and lovely.

Highlights for me were:
1. In Her Eyes- if you haven't seen it elsewhere I won't ruin it for you, but I LOVE how he does this and still sounds so perfect!
2. Aurora/Kashmir by Lucia Micarelli- she's fabulous, keep on rockin', Lucia!
3. Pearls (duet with Angelique Kidjo)- a very different and haunting duet, performed perfectly;
4. Un Giorno Per Noi- not really 'pop concert' material, but performed just as beautifully live as in the studio recording;
5. Awake- beautifully done, words slightly changed to fit the circumstances, very emotional!

My only slight disappointment is that most of the fun 'goofy' stuff in between songs is not on the DVD (which is still much longer than the other concert DVDs, so I understand); also, his sweet "Not While I'm Around" from Sweeney Todd is also missing...

If you have had the chance to go to his concerts or wish you had, do the next best thing and get this DVD/CD. Keep it up, Josh, I will enjoy this and I can't wait for what's next!

Josh Groban's Awake Live is nothing short of amazing! His powerhouse voice will give you chills and goosebumps, and the passion with which he sings will bring you to tears! I love each and every song on this DVD, and the bonus features are simply outstanding! Take my advice, and buy this DVD today! You will not regret it! Josh Groban is THE VOICE!

This is absolutely a must have! I own six copies!

I became a Groban fan after seeing him in a one-night-only concert version of the rock musical "Chess" on Broadway. I started buying his CDs and DVDs. Watching this DVD was fun, but, for the first time, too many of the songs sound alike.

On his last DVD, Josh included Simon & Garfunkle's "America" as an encore. He has sung famous movie songs with John Williams and the Boston Pops. His songs from the "Chess" concert are some of the most watched videos on the Internet. His recent traditional Christmas CD was one of the best selling holiday CDs of all time.

Clearly, Josh Groban has achieved great success. Isn't it now time to try other things in his concerts? He has done it on Broadway and CD. If anything, I believe Groban has taken a step backward with this concert
DVD.
