I just bought Keith Urban's new concert DVD. All I can say is- WOW! Fantastic showmanship, musical accompaniment and expressive demonstration. I am a relatively new Keith fan, and I saw him in concert in September 2007. The concert DVD is expertly woven and (Garth- take a hint here) more or less a complete show.
If you enjoy any of Keith's music, I would recommend you pick it up.

I first saw Keith Urban in 2001 as the opening act on the Brooks & Dunn Neon Circus and Wild West Show (possibly my favorite tour of all time). He only did six songs, but I knew he was gonna be big. The next year, he played a show at a local club called Coyote's and I was a couple blocks away at the library for research before the show. I couldn't find anything to do downtown to kill enough time until the club opened, so I went home.
In 2004, shortly before I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and my concert attendance took a nosedive, my then-fiancee and uncle and I saw Keith at the Louisville Palace Theater. If you ever have the chance to see anyone or anything at that venue, do it! It's magnificent. I was absolutely stunned by Keith's show that night. At one point, he thanked the "18 people" who had showed up two years ago at the Coyote's show I had almost attended, and recounted some of that night. I've never heard an artist actually describe his or her last time in town with such detail. Even if he takes notes at shows and refers back to those the next time he comes to town, that alone shows an attention to detail no other artist has exhibited at shows I've attended.
Also, it's one thing for an artist to gladhand the front row, but Keith Urban strolled around the entire audience during one of the songs. And when I saw the "entire audience," I mean the dude was up in the balcony for a good five minutes. Since that show, I've found a lot of Keith Urban's songs to be over produced and lyrically cluttered and generic. No matter what he records, though, that 2004 concert will always stand as one of the single best and most memorable of all.
