Sweetbox // LIVE (CD/DVD)

YAY! The first ever OFFICIAL Sweetbox cd/dvd was released on the 1st August 2006. But what is it exactly. Well, it's the concert that Sweetbox performed on Christmas Eve in Seoul 2005 and for thoses of us lucky enough to get the Limited Korean version of Addicted that had the teaser, it was nice to see the rest of the show.

So what of it? Well, in truth, yes it was nice to see the performances but what makes a concert is having the "banter" between songs. As soon as one song has finished, it's quickly onto the next. But with the CD, you get more of the "banter". What's going on there? Shouldn't it have been the other way around with song after song on the cd and the songs + banter on the DVD? However, the DVD does clear up some of the "myths" that started circulating with a few images that were seen on the net.

As said before, this is the first time a Sweetbox concert has been officially released (the 2004 show has been seen by a few) and really I suppose only serious collectors would consider buying it or those intreguied to see a concert. The only draw back that can be seen is that it’s not a full proper concert, just basically video of Sweetbox songs live.

Rating: 3/5
