Normally concert movies are cut down. You never get all the songs that are performed on the night.
Unusually George Michael released the full version. This concert at Earls Court in London in August 2007 was the last of his '25 Live' Tour. As he mentions in the film, it is also his longest concert of the tour largely due to it being filmed.
George packs more songs in here. There are Wham songs, cover versions and more of his solo output.
I say this because I went to see George Michael on this tour. It was a treat for my wife. I like to say the concert I saw up north was even half the show that was performed here. There were no Wham songs outside of Careless Whisper.
After 30 minutes of him appearing on stage he went off for a tea break. Nothing to be sniffed at, actually he needed a boost so he probably did sniff something. He then turned up half an hour later to do a 60 minutes set. That was it.
Maybe George felt sorry the audience out in the rain. Even though we paid a good dollop of dough to watch him in concert.
So it was nice to see this, where George made more of an effort.
