Hot off the heels of just being honored as Billboards Woman of the Year, receiving multiple Grammy nominations, and having played 140 shows in 13 countries around the globe, P!nk brings the sold-out tour and amazing spectacle of THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE TOUR: LIVE FROM MELBOURNE to fans on DVD and Blu-ray on January 21, 2014. The 1 hour and 50 minute concert, which was conceived and executive produced by P!nk and Baz Halpin, was filmed during the Australian leg of the tour, in Melbourne. Pulling from her seven album repertoire, the show includes some of her biggest hits such as "Blow Me (One Last Kiss), " "F*in Perfect, " "Try, " "Raise Your Glass, " "So What" and "Just Give Me a Reason" featuring Nate Ruess which was recently nominated for 2 Grammy Awards for the coveted Song of the Year category and Best Pop Duo/Group. THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE TOUR: LIVE FROM MELBOURNE features the jaw-dropping theatrics and acrobatics that P!nk has become renowned for, collaborating with creative partner and show director Larn Poland (who also directed THE FUNHOUSE TOUR: LIVE IN AUSTRALIA) to produce a visually stunning stage production that includes pyrotechnics, soaring stunts, and career-spanning hits.

Pink Isn't Just a Great Artist, She's a Phenomenon, and This DVD Shows her in All Her Glory
I almost feel silly raving about a rock act at my, uh, advancing age, but... Pink is just an amazing artist in every way. We have watched this video of her Melbourne concert many times and are not tiring of it. Normally, a concert that requires 400 tons of equipment would be something I would shy away from, expecting more gimmicks than quality, but she makes it all work. She never misses a beat, never misses a note. She never lip-synchs, even when doing somersaults 40 feet above the audience.One of the things that distinguishes Pink from the others is her sense of humor. Her lyrics are brilliant, clever and very, very funny.Her musicians are top-notch, particularly guitarist Justin Derrico, who I think ranks with the best (and I've seen Clapton, Hendrix, Townsend and Richards in concert.... couple years back!)But if you are reading these reviews, you are probably already a fan. So the review should probably focus on this specific DVD and this concert. The DVD quality is excellent, and the photography really gives you a sense of being at the concert. My only small quibble is the quick edits- the average shot is probably less than two seconds. But concert and music videos have been trending that way for a long, long time and it's just something we Baby Boomers need to get used to, I suppose. But it's not bothersome enough to give the DVD less than five stars- I'd give it more if I could. Pink is not just an artist, she's a phenomenon, and this DVD makes that abundantly clear. It's a real joy to watch.

She's the ultimate performer
Even without having seen it yet, I know it will be another knock your socks off production. She is the ultimate performer. I'm still patiently waiting for Amazon to tell me when I am getting my pre-ordered copy. The day of release they were back ordered and out of stock. Hope to be able to enjoy this by Christmas if not sooner.Even so, Pink is my all time favorite artist. Since I've not been able to catch her show live here in the states on this or her previous Funhouse tour, the tour dvd is my ticket to this amazing show.What I would like to know, however is why it was originally supposedly released on December 3rd here in the states and then suddenly was out of stock and backordered, and now it says this item will be released on January 21st. So which is it Amazon? Was it ever actually available on December 3or was the release date always January 21? I will wait another month for it because I am a huge fan, but I wish Amazon had been upfront about the real release date from the beginning. I had hoped to have this item before or by Christmas.

Great concert
The concert is great, Pink and entourage are great. She puts on one hell of a show and 21 songs! Full of energy and charisma.

It's P!nk -nothing else to say
While I was buying this DVD regardless, the people responsible for editing it should be BANNED forever from editing. There is more time spent on the fans, far away views and seeing how many shots they can fit into each second of viewing time, than on P!NK herself. For anyone who went to her concert and saw all the funny or just little cute things that she did, you will not see them on this video. The quality of the video overall is less than I would have expected, at times it looked like it was made with a iPhone and not professional cameras. With that being said, it's still PINK and she is phenomenal and an amazing performer. Hopefully she will get the crew that made the videos for the other tours back for the next DVD and permanently fire this bunch. I did give this DVD 5 stars, not for quality of the video, but for PINK and her band for just being amazing.

Very entertaining
I had just gone to see a P!NK concert and wanted to get the DVD, but it was not out yet, so I got this one of an older tour. My husband happened to be in the room when I started watching and he stayed for the whole thing, even though he didn't think he was going to like it. He said afterward, "that was very entertaining." High praise from someone who had probably never heard a P!NK song in his life. She is a great entertainer.

It catches the excitement of being there!
I have been to 2 of the "Truth About Love" tour shows and enjoyed each one immensely. I've been a huge P!NK fan since seeing the Funhouse tour DVD in 2009. I even have P!NK FAN on my Ohio license plates.But, that said, I must admit that the jumpy editing of this concert has taken away much from this DVD. I have to agree with other comments that talk about the jumping from scene to scene. The continuity with the music is there, but with each image on view for only seconds, it is hard to watch and focus on something you'd like to follow on stage.I'm a big fan of Eva Gardner, too, and tried to find and follow her on this DVD, but it was almost as if she wasn't there. From being at the shows, I knew where to look, but had trouble seeing her more than just a very few times in the 1 hour and 50 minutes.Like the Funhouse tour DVD, this one has images that last from one to 6 seconds max on screen, My calculations say that for the one hour and 50 minutes there must be between 4,000 and 5,000 images used to make this DVD. I'm amazed they could keep the music in sync.But that frantic image changing, and the many shots of the audience singing along captures the energy that is present at a P!NK concert. The audience is part of the show and no one sits for any of it. Everyone is on their feet and the DVD catches that energy.But, I wish I would have been able to follow the dancers through their routines and see Eva Gardner doing her thing.I still recommend this DVD for those who didn't get to see the tour shows to see what it was like and for those who did to relive it.

Watching this was like re-living the concert all over again!
I was fortunate enough to see this show twice when it was on tour so I bought the DVD in the hopes that it would take me back to those wonderful moments and that I would see things I may have missed when I was standing in the pit. It did all that and more. I jumped off my couch and danced around my living room singing along at the top of my lungs too many times to count. If you have never seen P!nk live then this is DVD is your perfect introduction! The only thing it made me wish is that I could see her in Australia because the crowd was just so much more pumped and active then when I saw her in Texas. :)

An absolute amazing DVD
Wow. What can I say about pink. I've watched this dvd over and over again and can't get enough of pink. She is such an amazing artist there's no words to describe it. Every time my family and I watch this DVD we want to watch it again. I've just recently purchased a VIP GAPIT ticket to see her on tour this march at her Beautiful Trauma Tour in Toronto and I cannot wait to see what she has up her sleeves for this tour. I absolutely love her. You need to add this DVD to your pink collection

strepitoso concerto con innovative coreografie.
Ho scoperto da poco Pink per la sua bella canzone Try. Ho voluto comprare questo dvd per conoscere meglio questa cantante. Beh, sono rimasto a bocca aperta. Mai visto una coreografia circense abbinata ad un palco rock durante un concerto live. Lei è una artista e ginnasta strepitosa e le sue canzoni unite alla danza raggiungono nuovi traguardi di spettacolo. Che dire se non che è uno dei più bei live degli ultimi anni. Soldi ben spesi e non resterete delusi. Sono rimasto veramente colpito dalla bravura di questa cantante e dal suo modo di presentarsi al pubblico che nell'insieme spicca e distanzia molti e molte dive del rock che cantano e basta. Semplicemente strepitosa. 5 stelle strameritate. Potete comprare questo dvd ad occhi chiusi, dubito che non possa emozionarvi.
