OK, it’s a safe bet that there are a number of you out there who really hate Michael Bolton. The truth is, he might not be the cutting edge rock music, but he does what he does quite well. There is obviously a market for this type of music or he wouldn’t be as popular as he is. So, like his genre or hate it, at least give the guy the credit he deserves. As this DVD shows, he is an excellent performer who knows how to please a crowd. The DVD itself is well-shot and both sound and video are extremely good. There are also some nice bonuses, including an extensive interview. If you want to get a different view of Michael Bolton, this might be a good place to turn. If, on the other hand, you are a diehard fan, then this is a mandatory purchase. Even those of you who are haters might find a new understanding, if not appreciation, of the music of Michael Bolton if you just give it a chance.
