One the many boy bands to hit the 90s, a period when boy bands were the most looked forward to. This 80 minute DVD features Britain's FIVE live in concert before tens of thousands of screaming fans.

FIVE, which stands for Federation of Interactive Visual Exploits, make the leap into the fray of boy bands on DVD with their disc Five Live. Included here are 15 live performances from their Invincible Tour in Manchester, England. The tour was a promotion for their second album, ‘Invincible’ as well as ‘5ive’, and performances by Sean, Scott, Ritchie, J, and Abs.

While they do follow the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync formula, FIVE have their own flair. Their hits Everybody Get Up, Two sides to every story is here, and they do a great update of Queen's We Will Rock You. A promo video of the latter tune is also included.

Some people may think FIVE is a regular boy band, like many others, but that is not true. They surely sing pop music and have synchronized dance moves, but that's not what must be noticed when you see them performing live. FIVE has great singers, with lots of rap introductions to their songs and some interesting lyrics too.

This is a must have for any fan of FIVE, especially if you have grown up in an era when the boys were in the true form. I started to listen to this group when they came on the scene and they are different from any group out there. A great talented group of guys, and since they have never visited India, then this DVD is great to experience the band first hand

This DVD contains their full concert from the "Invincible tour" with the best songs of their 2 CDs. DVD features include a 25-minute TV documentary featuring various aspects of preparation for the Invincible Tour. Activities from the five weeks prior to departure can be selected individually. Also included is a backstage tour, a photo section with several group shots. You may also choose to have the lyrics on-screen. The best DVD feature is Five-Cam: Two of the songs from the concert were recorded using one camera for each lad, so if you have a favorite, you can watch him even when he isn't singing the lead. The multi-camera angles are awesome.

This concert series shows their true charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. Great concert DVD with fantastic songs by these 5 lovely guys.

In this BMG Music release, presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and featuring a selection of Dolby Digital 5.1 or Dolby Digital Stereo soundtracks, this release is sure to have FIVE fans cutting loose in their living rooms.
