Pink's ‘Funhouse Tour: Live In Australia’ [Blu-ray] [2009] [Region Free]

Circus stage set sets up the show to be a performance to remember.A phoenix rising from under the stage swinging high above the crowd P!NK appears and the show begins."Bad Influence", "Just Like a Pill" , "Who Knew" , "Ave Mary A" , "Don't Let Me Get Me" all come as ringmaster P!nk is in control of musicians who are tighter than P!nk's abs.A very steamy rendition of "I Touch Myself" sees a sensual elegant performance on the sofa of hidden talents that every schoolboy would dream of as well as a few dads. There is interplay between P!NK and guitarist Justin Derrico which shows the playful naughty side, then the light up gloves for "U +Ur Hand" as energetic dancers fill the stage. There is a full on pillow fight between dancers and a guy who resembles Carey Hart as "So What!" rings out.Things turn serious as a piano interlude leads into "Family portrait" P!NK appears in torn t-shirt and jeans and the crowd is illuminated by lighters being held aloft as the story of a family break up is played out on stage.Things become more intimate as the singer, guitarist nd others are seated front stage and acoustic guitars are played. "I don't believe you", "Crystal ball'," Trouble" and a fantastic version of Led Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", which sees the full band back for the rock out section.Two white clad dancers perform a haunting dance before a blindfolded P!NK is hoisted high above the stage where she performs aerial acrobatics with a dancer, note perfect suspended upside down the singing "Sober" P!NK effortlessly performs a trapeze. Next comes a powerful rendition of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" adorned in a Freddy inspired jacket. "Funhouse" sees the stage invaded by manic clowns, "Crazy" by Ce LO Green ees more circus themed stage craft and a sing along by the crowd.It seems strange to encore with "Get the Party Started" since this party has already been in full flow for about 2 hours but more aerial performance as P!NK is lifted high to then bungee jump over the stage. The beautiful "Glitter in the Air" sees P!NK adorned in a tight glittery outfit once again taking to the air on silks which are attached to a human chandelier, lowered into a pool of water and then spinning upside down not a single note is missed as the beautiful graceful finish is bought to its conclusion and then perfect breathtaking evening ends. ***** performance.Bonus features include the 'On tour with P!NK' featurette which gives some insight as to what a day in the life of a touring band is like. There is a blooper section and some unseen material from the tour "It's All Your Fault" & "One Foot Wrong", plus a humorous look at Justin Derrico as he 'Shreds the Gnar'.

I have been forced into writing this by the sheer class of whats on offer here. Never bothered much about Pink before, but as my wife is a closet rocker (unfortunately she spends far too much time listening to Bon Jovi), I felt she needed something fresh to enjoy. Bought her 4 CD's and off she went. She played them so much that in the end I knew most of the lyrics as well (sad, I know). Well, here comes the killer blow. Bought tickets to go and watch the show at MEN as a surprise. I couldn't believe quite what I was seeing at first. Pink is a lady who at the current moment is completely on top of her game, and I remember standing there for the first hour or so with a stupid grin on my face, not quite able to grasp the magnitude of what was happening in front of me. A few slow ones in the middle (with a bit too much 'waffle' for my liking, can't have everything), but picked up for a quite amazing finale. I knew all the songs played. They were all played very well. They were all sung very well. Execution was damn near perfect. The stage show was magnificent. Her stage presence is hypnotising. The main thing about this show is that every single person on stage is smiling and they all look like they're having a fantastic time, which they undoubtedly they are, there is just so much energy. I bought her the Blu Ray for Christmas and it's just like being there all over again. It has rarely been out of the player and, i'm ashamed to admit, is probably in the top 10 of all the music vid's that I have (and I have quite a few). If you like Pink, if you're in two minds, if you don't really like Pink, you will not go far wrong by buying this. It cannot be recommended highly enough. If she ever manages to top this, then I hope i'm there to see it. Buy, buy, buy.

I have been a P!nk fan for many years, this women can't do wrong in my eyes and she really doesn't disappoint in this DVD. I was lucky enough to have seen this tour live at the 02 in London. This is the perfect memento to keep the amazing memorizes alive! Every time you watch it you see more and more detail and fall for her songs more and more!P!nk always puts on so much more than your average 'concert', her tours, are more like Broadway or West End shows, this tour's theme is obviously the 'Funhouse' and the set, which was like a movie set, was based around that of a fun fair and a circus. Her aerobatics and pure gymnastic skills and performances are just out of this world, jaw dropping. Her energy is unreal, her fitness, strength and power is that of an athlete.The costumes are outstanding and so fitting to the theme, the backing dancers and singers performances and wardrobe are phenomenal too.Her own material is always on point but the covers she also performs are just amazing.I do not think anyone can dislike this women. I recommend this DVD to ANYONE, whether you are a P!nk fan or not, old or young!One word; AMAZING!

I bought the Bluray of this and the Truth About Love a couple of years ago. I have to say to say I was so struck TAL that until the other day I hadn't opened the shrink wrap on this. The reason for opening it is unfortunately my only real disappointment with the BR. The rest of it is superb and a very, very good music vid if not as good TAL. My disappointment is not to do with the music but the graphics on "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" where the production is trying and sadly woefully failing to emulate the guitar solo by Jimmy Page on "Stairway to Heaven" on "Song Remains the Same" film. Personally I just like to see a guitar solo being played (fwiw I didn't care for the Jimmy Page visuals either).Back to this Video HIGHLY RECOMMEDED

It's a great show from pink for fans

tolle show 1+++++

Pink est une superbe artiste, une grande performeuse et pas de playback, dans ce concert filmé en Australie , elle virevolte encore dans les airs, sa version de Bohemian R. de Queen est extra. Excellent concert du début jusqu'à la fin.

Uno de los mejores directos de éste siglo

Uno spettacolo per occhi, orecchie e anima.Buona resa audio-video.

Amazing SHOW! delivery was faster than expected! Item said it was used, like new, but it actually looks as if I just bought it, came sealed and in perfect condition. Blu-ray image quality is a bit grainy on darker lighting, but overall sound and image are incredible!
