Josh Groban in Concert has all the ingredients to be a long-running PBS staple: a young (21), good-looking performer with a golden voice; songs in Italian and Spanish for the crossover crowd (i.e., Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman) and pop and movie songs for the mainstream; guest stars galore (David Foster, John Williams, Angie Stone, Andrea Corr, Lili Haydn); a large orchestra; and striking but not obtrusive visual effects. The centerpiece of this DVD-CD combo (also available in a DVD keepcase) is the 80-minute concert DVD, filmed in Pasadena in October 2002 and featuring numerous songs from Groban's debut CD, including "You're Still You," which catapulted him into stardom when he sang it on TV's Ally McBeal. There are also two new songs--the ballad "Broken Vow," with Groban accompanied by Foster, and "For Always," with the orchestra conducted by John Williams, who wrote the song for the Steven Spielberg film A.I..
The 37-minute CD offers seven songs performed in the concert (including the two not on the previous CD, "Broken Vow" and "For Always"), plus "O Holy Night." The DVD has excellent picture and sound (PCM stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1, and DTS), interviews, and backstage footage, and the combination with the CD is an excellent value. Groban's fans, of course, will consider it a treasure at any price. --David Horiuchi

awsome Josh:
this cd is the best!!!Love it, love it,love it!!!! and the DVD is great. Only wish all of the songs on the DVD were on the CD
Excellent:
I am so pleased with my purchase of Joshua Groban's CD, that I recommend it to others. I do not understand Italian , but I can sing along or hum.I enjoy the English songs as well.
Fabulous Voice!:
There is nobody in this world who can do "O Holy Night" like Joosh can. Sends chills right through you. BRAVO!!!
Great debut live DVD and album:
This is the recording of Josh's first live concerts for PBS in the USA. Aged just 21, his voice is simply incredible. Here he performs all the songs from his self-titled debut album, plus "Broken vow" which ended up on his second album "Closer", and a fabulous performance of "For Always" which he recorded for the soundtrack of the Steven Spielberg film A.I. and conducted live by the composer John Williams. There are a number of other special guests including David Foster (his producer) and the Corrs.more info
