Summary: ... it's all you need...
Comment: I saw the show in Las Vegas last summer, a few days shy of it's one year anniversary. The music in the theater is played in surround so that's why I bought this addtion. It contains both a standard CD as well as a 5.1 surround sound disc. The music re-mixes from the original recordings are beyond belief. Even though we've all heard these songs a thousand times before, the clarity of these re-mixes makes it almost like they truely are "new songs". Hearing alternate versions of songs as well as mixing the drums from one song into the melody of another (how'd they do it?) sound amazing. Listen to the end of Strawberry Fields and hear almost a half dozen different songs interwoven at the same time. It isn't for everyone, in fact most Cirque soundtracks probably won't mean as much if you haven't seen the show already, but you don't have to see "Love" to enjoy listening to these versions of Beatles classics.

Summary: Buy it, Buy it!
Comment: Once again, for the umpteenth time, Sir George Martin shows us what can be done with the melding of what was recorded on a few analog tracks, a few well placed microphones, and merging it with todays technology. You will not beleive what you hear. Overlain tracks, of different songs, but somehow it makes perfect sense. Segues from one track to another, seamless joinery, what a treat to hear! And best of all, very little over-doing it in the digital processing world. All the digital editing and processing seems as though it belonged there the first time the recordings were done, 40 years ago. ...Might have something to do with someone who *was* there having freedom to do this effort.
Gorgeously mixed, huge, wide, deep sound stage, there's something new to be found at each and every time you listen to it. Headphones might reveal some little background aberations from some of the original material now and again, but so what, it's original. This is a must have for any life-long Beatles fan.
Just buy it.

Summary: What a sound quality!!!
Comment: I've attended the live show, and I'd had to try the DVD to check out the sound quality. What a wonderful surprise, it's great. I felt almost like in the Mirage's LOVE Theater. If you compare the Stereo CD with the 5.1 DVD sound, you realize that it looks like a complete different sound experience.
The music: It's Beattles!!!
The production: Sir George Martin - what a wonderful job!!! Congratulations.

Summary: DVD-Audio problems solved
Comment: When I bought this DVD-Audio album, many of the tracks had a serious distortion problem that rendered the album unlistenable, which I now know is a fixable problem. I traded it in hoping for a non-defective copy. No luck. I went to the internet and found that I was not alone in this problem, but that it seemed to be somewhat equipment specific, my player, a Pioneer DV-578A being one of the afflicted. My center channel speaker doesn't have much response below 80hz so I have it marked as a "small" speaker in the setup menu, thus sending the lower frequencies to the front sides which are flat down to about 25hz. This works fine most of the time but not on "Love." When I changed the setup to a "large" center speaker, ALL audio problems vanished. I have never listened to the CD. Why would I want to! The audio quality on the DVD-Audio blows away any other Beatles sound I've ever heard except for 1960s vintage British pressings of the original albums, and in some ways, the DVD-Audio is to be preferred. For example stereo-recorded parts that were mixed down to mono hard panned to one side or the other on the original stereo album mixes are in real stereo here spread across 2 or more channels, as they were on the album, "1." Only here they sound much better with the much higher resolution of DVD-Audio. It rather whets ones appetite for SACD or DVD-Audio releases of the Beatles catalog with new mixes from the original parts in surround AND in stereo (and in some cases mono, too), designed to reflect the balances chosen in the original mixes, but without the hard panning and monoed down-mixes. Meanwhile we have this, not exactly the originals, but respectful and great sounding.

Summary: LOVE The Beatles
Comment: LOVE (CD + Audio DVD)
The sequence of grand classical Beatles music, both words and tunes, have been put together with sublime technical skill. The result is breathtaking for the ears. Did think some video on the DVD would have been available but I guess the video of LOVE The Beatles can be purchased separately. So all in all the CD is brilliant! Purchase and shipping from Amazon was spot-on, in a word excellent. Haydn Deane, Australia.

It begins with a twittering of birdsong lifted from "Across the Universe." And once the triple-tracked a capella harmonies of "Because" enter, followed by snatches from "A Hard Day's Night" and "The End," leading into a fired-up "Get Back," it becomes obvious that this is far more than just another Beatles compilation. This is Love, conceived by the Fabs' former producer George Martin and son Giles as a stageshow soundtrack to Cirque de Soleil's Las Vegas spectacular of the same name, but appears to have taken on a life of its own. Whereas the Beatles' last release, 1, delivered the (over?) familiar hits in a nice, simple package, Love is a mélange of the familiar and obscure, all literally mixed together in one 78-minute audio collage which succeeds in reminding the listener just why the Beatles truly are, as Lennon put it, "toppermost of the poppermost." There's no new Beatles material per se, but the songs are all approached differently--some are cut together in a flawlessly mixed medley (check out "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!/I Want You/Helter Skelter"), some reassemble different backing tracks and vocal performances to create new spins on old classics; but all the songs are revitalized considerably. Even in its weakest moments (which probably work better in the context of the show itself), Love is still a formidable prospect, and one has to admire Martin's willingness to go out on a limb with such a project. While purists may complain that the cut 'n' paste nature of the project is simply tampering with perfection, at the very least it'll make them reach for the originals and enjoy them all over again. For newcomers and everyone else, it makes a fine listen, both in its sonic clarity (the actual tracks are the best they've sounded on CD) and audacious nature. --Thom Allott More from the Fab Four
