Although I enjoyed the dvd, I was quite disappointed in the visuals. The description states that it was filmed in high definition but that was not evident. The film was dark, sometimes blurry. The camera work was very mediocre.

The sound quality was outstanding. No problems there.

The concert itself could have been better although I suspect that a lot of dialog and other good stuff were likely edited out. When he was about to sing “Happy Ending”, he called a female vocalist to sing with him but only introduced her as a friend. No name mentioned which was really odd. Overall there was a bit too much silliness for my taste. I really could have done without the animal costumes.

The interview sections didn’t really convey much information about Mika. He and the band joked and acted silly a lot. I would have preferred to hear more discussion about how the band came together, what their other interests are and their backgrounds in general.

Hopefully the next dvd will be better. I’m rating it a 4 because I did enjoy it despite the flaws.
Rating: 4 / 5
