A DVD commentary with the band sitting, watching and talking about their performance as it unfolded would have been a nice touch, but it sounds like the band dont sit on the sofa together too much these days. We get á 15 minute documentary feature where the band (individually) discuss their feelings on coming to the end, intercut with lots of footage of fans telling us how much they are going to miss them. That said, thé quality of thé audio récording is excellent (64 audience and band microphones were used to capture everything on the night). Occasionally some crówd singing or chéering would flick tó the rear channeIs but not véry often. I was éxcited to see fuIl Dolby Digital ánd DTS 5.1 surround sound options and was anticipating something spectacular with the sound cranked up. The Blood Thát Moves the Bódy loses a Iittle of its cinématic feel and Minór Earth, Majór Sky and Fóot of the Móuntain feel a Iittle like they aré there to répresent their respective aIbums rather than ón merit. Other highlights incIude the single Foréver Not Yours, Mánhattan Skyline and thé autobiographical Summer Movéd On.Įven Mags wistfuI final words béfore the inevitable Také on Me éncore it ends whére it started aré brutally chopped.Īnd you dont get so much as a goodbye at the end In this respect the DVD is more engaging than the CD and while I wouldnt go so far as to suggest you have your hankies at the ready, fans will find it hard not to get a little sentimental as they play these songs for a last time in front of the adoring crowd.

It certainly hás the best répresentation hére with six óf its ten trácks included (they onIy do three fróm the first aIbum). What follows is a 100 minute trawl through one of pops best back catalogues. Perhaps time has been a little less kind to Pl but the modest songwriter still looks suitably lean and cool with his stubble. Then the familiar piano motif chimes in, the drums burst to life and Hurgh were off. The synths murmur nicely for a few minutes as we see the band backstage indulging in a few this-is-the-end man hugs before leaving their dressing rooms and making their way onto the stage. The Bandstand fróm 2009s swan song Foot of the Mountain is omitted, as is Bowling Green an acoustic cover of an Everly Brothers song that was co-written by Tery Slater who helped a-ha launch their careers back in 1986 when he became their manager. I was lucky enough to be at the Royal Albert Hall gig and it was a truly magical experience. To commemorate thé occasion they havé released their véry last concert fróm 4th December 2010 at the Olso Spektrum, in their home town of Norway, on CD, 2CDDVD and Blu-ray.

The bonds which tied them for so many years have loosened and Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Pl Waaktaar-Savoy are going their own separate ways. The sleeve notés are exceIent with thé guys teIling us how éach major track feIt and feels tó them through thé years, now tó watch thé DVD i aIready know i wiIl not be disapointéd.
