"If you have heard Josh Groban's debut CD, then you know this is a kid [only 21!] with a remarkable voice. The CD in this package include 6 previously released songs performed LIVE, one live performance of a new track - Broken Vow - and a studio version of his chart busting Christmas single - O Holy Night. The DVD contains his Great Performances - Josh Groban in Concert video that has been airing on PBS. It was taped in Pasadena on October 3 & 4, 2002. Beautiful staging and lighting enhance all 13 tunes that were on his debut CD, plus a solo performance of For Always from the A.I. Artificial Intelligence soundtrack and Broken Vow. The DVD include guest performances with Andrea Corr of The Corrs, Rhys Fulber and Lili Hayden on Canto Alla Vita, Lili Hayden on Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, Angie Stone on The Prayer, and John Williams conducting on For Always. The additional footage provided of backstage and various interviews with the guests is excellent. Josh's brother, Chris, also did a short backstage video with some interesting footage of rehearsals, backstage, and personal impressions.I would highly recommend this CD/DVD for your collection!"

CAUTION: CONTENTS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!!!

"How can I describe Josh Groban? His voice makes my spirit soar, rends my heart, and makes me weep. In the car, I sing along at the top of my voice. In the office, I enjoy hearing people ask "Hey, isn't that (insert your favorite opera tenor)?" and the look on their faces when I tell them the name and age of the artist they're hearing. I bought this package for the song "O Holy Night", but was completely blown away by the live concert on the DVD... what a wonderful show! I felt like I was right there in the front row, and now I won't be happy until I really do hear him perform in person! Last but not least, Josh Groban is so NICE - a humble and unassuming person. At first glance, he is a guy who just stepped off a train on a windy day. Then he opens his mouth to sing, and - poof!- he's an angel. Listen and find out for yourself."

The most amazing voice you will ever hear.

"Somebody at work introduced me to Josh Groban's first CD. They played one song for me and I thought it was the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. I went out and purchased his entire album and became an instant fan. Josh Groban has such an incredible voice he is truly blessed. This CD/DVD is amazing. O HOLY NIGHT is the most beautiful and powerful rendition of this song I have ever heard in my life. It will give you chills and bring tears to your eyes everytime you listen to it. The DVD is spectacular. His voice again is amazing and so powerful and to make it even better it is encoded in DTS sound so anyone with a higher quality home theater will be literally blown away by the sound of his voice. Josh Groban deserves more than 5 stars. I give him 10!"

""There is such a place in this world for your voice." ~ David Foster

Josh's voice is the purest of spiritual ecstasy. His voice is almost timeless in beauty and inspires hope, courage and compassion. "To Where You Are" was my introduction to Josh's voice and yet I didn't fully realize the complexity or the beauty of his voice until I found his "Closer" CD.

His very existence seems to raise your consciousness and the graciousness he displays on stage only made me respect him more. Josh seems as comfortable on stage as God must feel in heaven. His voice raises your spiritual awareness, drenches you in a tearful romantic high and at times can stun you into silence. At such a young age, he truly owns the stage. He even plays the piano in an impromptu moment amidst a conversation with David Foster.

I was impressed with how Josh allows the creative process to evolve around him and how he shares the stage with talent from near and far. Angie Stone and Andrea Corr sing duets with Josh in this concert.

The moment with Lili Haydn is stunning as she seems to appear as an angel and Josh looks on in wonder to where she plays her violin with a backdrop of special lighting/shadow visual effects that takes Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring to entirely new levels. Josh climbs stairs in "Let Me Fall" and then actually "falls." It is all planned and they show the details in the Making of the Special section. Rose petals swirl in the breeze in the background on huge screens as Josh sings Alejate.

I never felt so much love in my soul

And no one but you loved me

I laughed and cried, I was reborn...

Song Selection - Quickly locate any of the 15 songs from the concert.

Special Features - Making of the Special, Chris Groban's Backstage Footage and Weblinks.

Setup Options - The lack of song translations in the subtitles was slightly disappointing. I would have loved to read the words in English, as it would have added an additional layer of depth to the romantic Italian and Spanish ballads. Fortunately song translations for Un Amore Per Sempre and Alejate are readily available online.

Josh Groban in Concert is a highly collectable and romantic concert that not only displays Josh's breathlessly beautiful voice, it also displays the depth of his commitment to music and his spontaneous comedic side.
