Kylie Minogue concludes her 2001 On a Night Like This tour with an unashamed pop extravaganza on home ground in Sydney, performing to a huge audience that consists of more adults than teenagers. Kylie has undoubtedly matured over the years, too, and--apart from a brief stint believing she could become a "serious" artist--appears perfectly happy in her role as the Princess of Pop. The joy of Kylie is that she has become all things to all people, offered up in a perfectly petite package: for women it's all about adulation; the men are offered a fantasy figure; and she simultaneously manages to be a gay icon without becoming overtly camp. It's clear that the years of work as a performer have paid off--her vocals are much stronger and more professional, and to demonstrate she performs two old favorites, "I Should Be So Lucky" and "Better the Devil You Know," as serious pieces. In true showstopping style, we're offered a multitude of costume changes: from hot-pant mania to refined suits and rock-chick leather, Kylie inevitably appears looking great. --Nikki Disney

Review
When Kylie Minogue wrapped up her 2001 world tour in Sydney, Australia, she went out with an extravagant bang. A veritable army of dancers, countless costume changes (each more shimmering and slinky than the last), and elaborate stage decorations/sets make for a concert that's as theatrical as it is musical. Whether she's dressed as a tropical tourist, a futuristic flight attendant/pilot, or a lounge-y master of ceremonies, Minogue looks as great as she sounds. Minogue has expanded her vocal range and singing skills light years beyond her 1988 cover of "The Loco-Motion," which thankfully doesn't make an appearance here. Indeed, her slow-burning take on her debut album's classic "I Should Be So Lucky" shows that she's developed loads of chops and maturity in her 13-year recording career. Though her backup singers nearly steal the show on a number of songs, Minogue infuses highlights like the robotic, sleek "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and the Olivia Newton-John cover "Physical" with an almost tangible passion and fire. Minogue showers her home audience with attention and love, taking the time to bask in their applause and feedback. She gets her fans particularly excited when she mentions before "Kids" that she and her singers will handle the song just fine without collaborator Robbie Williams. Minogue gives her all throughout the evening, and her dedication and charisma make this live concert video a great treat for old and new fans alike. ~ Tim DiGravina, All Movie Guide

Customer Reviews

On of Kylie's classic shows
one of the most amazing show i've ever seen in my entire life!
from the opening coming down in a huge anchor singing "Love Boat" Kylie Minogue shows that she is the real Princess Of Pop!.
the costumes and the coreography are great and the stage too! all the show is very cool.
the most amazing is the Medley "Step Back In Time/Never Too Late/Wouldn't Change A Thing/Turn It Into Love/Celebration" i love the part in the 'Celebration' when the crownd goes wild with this song! - also "Light Years", "What do i have to do?" and the Olivia Newton John's cover "Physical", when she sang "Shocked" was very cool. also she sang "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" in a very slow version. love when she performed "Put Yourself in My Place" 'cause her voice is amazing! and i love when on "Hand on your Heart" the crowd sings with her!, she performs 19 Tracks completely Live! including her #1 Hit "Spinning Around" when she comes up the floor with the Hotpants and the Brodway version of "Better The Devil You Know"...
this show is outstanding, really amazing concert!

includes Backstage scenes and the "Spinning Around" Music Video. this edition (Region 1 Edition) includes the unedited version of the Video, so you can see Kylie's ASS!!! LoL

A sound investment.
"Live in Sydney" is one of the best concert DVDs ever. The concert itself is beautifully staged, well chreographed and Kylie does a bang up job on the vocals. Kylie sings her old standbys but with a new twist (such as "Better the Devil You Know"). The backstage footage is boring at best. Do Kylie's fans really care about her dancers? Besides that blunder, the rest of this disc is awesome.

Great concert but one flaw...
The promo video for Spinning Around is toned down a little. Still sexy, but they edited out some of her hot pants shots. The famous close-up shot in the beginning of the video where she spins around has even been removed. Other than that, this is one of the sexiest concerts ever recorded. DTS sounds great, and the camera work is pretty good except more and longer shots of Kylie would have been nice, especially during Physical. Still, this is her best DVD with great replay value making it the one to own.
