The LOVE album was recorded to provide the soundtrack to the groundbreaking Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas, USA. As a standalone audio release the album has sold over 6 million worldwide, with 2 million in the UK.
Over 82 minutes, this DVD contains the story behind the making-of the show, with behind the scenes footage from conception through to the star-studded opening night. It features interviews with Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison, as well as other key players such as Sir George Martin and his son Giles. We also get a true insight into the creative and sometimes gruelling process that the members of Cirque have to go through to produce one of the most acclaimed live shows in the world. Cirque du Soleil is now one of the most recognisable and important entertainment brands around and this film gets behind the scenes like never before.
The DVD has many extras over and above the film itself, notably:
1. Changing the Music - 22 mins covering the decision to rework The Beatles original music for the new show.
2. Music In The Theatre - 9 mins showing the creation of the surround sound mix and the installation of the cutting-edge sound system in the theatre itself.
3. Making Love - 10 mins on the creation and overall design of the show.
All in all, this is a unique DVD which provides exceptional insights into both the world of The Beatles and of Cirque du Soleil. A must-have for any true fans of either party or even just those who loved LOVE and want a visual fix!
The package is a single disc in an Amaray case with a cover that reflects the close connection to the original LOVE album. Anyone that has bought this album will see the connection and be tempted to try the DVD too.
