Wonderful to experience again, but also very disappointing

"I was able to attend this concert and it was so much fun to watch it all over again. Especially since this time I could actually see him (I could only get tickets WAY in the back) and be able to hear him (we had some VERY annoying screaming girls behind us). However, I was very disappointed to see how much of the concert had been cut out.
This DVD mainly only showed his singing, which was beautiful, but there were SO many fun parts that they'd taken out. They took out where his guest (sorry. I forgot her name) was showing him how to dance. Hilarious! Then he also was given some gifts by the audience, including a cowboy hat and "Elton John" glasses (as he called them) and would sing as he wore them making impersonations. But my FAVORITE part was when he was signing autographs for a minute for the audience and a little girl came and sat down next to him. He had her sign autographs too and then a little while later he sang "Not While I'm Around" to her (which is one of my favorite songs). It was SO touching!
I loved the DVD. It was a lot of fun to watch again, but I was very disappointed that so much was cut out. I wish they would've kept at least some of it in there."
His BEST yet!

"I have watched this DVD two times since buying it yesterday and I must say it is by far THE BEST of all of Josh Groban's DVD's! The entire concert is excellent, but it is worth the price alone for the live version of the song "Awake"! If you are a Josh Groban fan, this CD/DVD is an absolute must have!! It blows his other DVD's away!"
This is an absolute MUST HAVE DVD!!

"Josh Groban's Awake Live is nothing short of amazing! His powerhouse voice will give you chills and goosebumps, and the passion with which he sings will bring you to tears! I love each and every song on this DVD, and the bonus features are simply outstanding! Take my advice, and buy this DVD today! You will not regret it! Josh Groban is THE VOICE!
This is absolutely a must have! I own six copies!"
AWAKE LIVE

"Absolutely AMAZING concert- saw this in Denver last year when he was on tour to promote his then new CD "AWAKE". He is breathtaking to watch and listen to, and this DVD proves that with every glorious song. A treat indeed for your ears, and eye candy for those of us who drool at a mere glimpse of him."
You won't be sorry you bought this!!!

"Utterly amazing! This DVD brought me right back in time, when I saw this concert twice in person. It is so moving that I was actually tearing up while watching him perform some of the songs (much to my boyfriend's amusement)! It is truly worth every penny and more. Even my boyfriend admitted it was pretty darn impressive (that is amazing in itself!) ENJOY!"
