Amazon.com: With a November 2001 Las Vegas performance that became an HBO special, Britney Spears headlines a visual spectacle that surpasses even Vegas's stage shows. From the opening 'Oops! I Did It Again' to the closing 'I'm a Slave 4 U,' Spears and her dance troupe athletically romp through a live, life-size, 90-minute music video. There's no musical emphasis (usually the original recordings play while Spears nominally pays attention to what she's supposed to be singing), but that's not the point.
Soft-spoken offstage, Spears becomes someone else entirely in front of an audience: numerous costume changes, a plethora of filmed footage, awesome acrobatics, and a gigantic stage set create the ultimate triumph of visuals over music. During the encore, 'Baby One More Time,' rain drenches Spears, giving a born entertainer one final opportunity to leave her fans awestruck. The concert was broadcast live to four military bases, and Spears acknowledges the soldiers' service in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. --Kevin Filipski

Rating: - too much props, no singing
I watched this at a friends house. That Britney the lip synched was no surprise. What I didn't expect is that every song was lip synched! It's a shame really. There is a highlight though: The backup band (did they even play before?) is set free during an interlude, and they really funk it up bad! If they did this for an hour and put it on a DVD, I'd buy that.
Rating: - Entertainment, nothing more
This concert is simple eye candy for those who just want to be entertained by a young girl in tight outfits performing sexual dance routines that young teens should not be seeing yet their parents are too redundant to practice parental discretion. The entire concert is lipsynched except for 2 performances. "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know" is completely live and is sung in Britney's natural tone instead of the tampered, high-pitched tone featured on her albums. It's extremely deep, yet soothingly beautiful. I only wish she would sing like that all the time. "...Baby One More Time" is partially live with some backing vocals.
Also, that song should NEVER be sung in ballad form because the lyrics are pure idiocy.
This concert gets boring for me since most all of it is just centered around Britney's costume changes and sexuality. I would much rather perfer a display of talent with little or no outfit ... Read More

Birthday present for my nephew who has been watching it ever since he got it! I think it was a definite hit!
Rating: - Amazing!
I am a huge fan of high production tours, and Britney Spears delivers! This is a filmed version of her widely successful "Dream Within A Dream" Tour to promote '...Baby One More Time', 'Oops!...I Did It Again', and 'Britney'. Alot of people claim that Britney ripped off other artists to create this tour, I highly disagree. Britney took parts of her favortie artists' tours and mixed it all together to make her own. This tour is not a ripoff of anyone, but a tribute at certain points while being strongly Britney's own show.
I purchased this expecting it to be cool, but not AMAZING! I never thought that anyone could equal any of Madonna's concerts, but in terms of entertainment and fun, I think Britney surpassed Madonna's tours.
