Keane Live

• Factory sealed DVD.

Finally available in the U.S.! On July 21st 2007, Keane arrived at London's O2 Arena for the climax of the 18-month world tour which had accompanied their multi-million selling second album "Under The Iron Sea." The band performed in front of 17,000 dedicated fans, a record-breaking crowd for the O2. To preserve this one-off occasion, they invited legendary concert director Dick Carruthers (The Who, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, White Stripes) to film it for their second DVD release (following 2005's accled "Strangers"). The band didn't disappoint. From the moment the gig burst to life with an incendiary "Everybody's Changing," Keane had those 17,000 fans spellbound, delivering anthem after anthem from the 2-million selling "Under The Iron Sea" and its 5.5-million selling predecessor, "Hopes And Fears." With Richard Hughes' propulsive drumming, Tim Rice-Oxley's heart-tearing keyboard melodies, and Tom Chin's second-to-none live singing voice, these three men proved just how well they can fill a huge room with their beautiful, brooding and enormously touching music. Highlights of the show include a belting "Is It Any Wonder," a singalong-tastic "Somewhere Only We Know," a spellbinding "Hamburg Song" delivered on a B-stage in the middle of the arena, and a foreboding "A Bad Dream," introduced by the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon reading the poem which inspired the song, "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" by W B Yeats. The gig eventually culminates amidst a sea of ticker tape with an exhilarating rendition of "Bedshaped," leaving the hairs standing up on the back of around 17,000 necks. Now everyone will be able to relive the experience through this DVD and Blu-ray, which also feature a host of behind-the-scenes extras, offering a fascinating in into the build up to the show. They include a second angle of the whole concert, footage of the soundcheck, a short film made backstage, and the live visuals from several songs.
