You don't have to actually like Cher to at least respect her for having the chutzpah and sheer resilience to overcome any number of ill-conceived moves (most of which she acknowledges with wry self-deprecation), including bad records, disastrous relationships, embarrassing infomercials, and enough cosmetic surgery to underwrite several surgeons' Beverly Hills manors. This 90-minute concert, filmed in Las Vegas in '99 and subsequently broadcast on HBO, is Cher in all her kitschy glory. She's a performer, not just a singer (a good thing, given her limited if distinctive voice), and the show gives us the requisite array of Bob Mackie costumes (Valkyrie and vamp, pirate and prostitute, and one item that she herself describes as "Bozo the Clown meets Braveheart"), wigs galore, a host of beautiful bodies writhing about onstage in what might charitably be called "interpretive dances" (also known as "filler while the star changes outfits").... Oh, and there's music too, from the old hits ("Half Breed," "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves") to "Believe," the late '90s techno-dance smash that here is saved until last, with a few covers thrown in for good measure (U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"? Go figure). We also get some old Sonny & Cher TV clips (bet you didn't remember that Ronald Reagan and David Bowie appeared on their show), highlights from her very impressive film career, still photos, drawings of Mackie's creations, and the "Walking in Memphis" music video. All in all, it's a weird, extravagant, campy stew, and a heck of a fun ride. --Sam Graham

 Cher is Amazing - A Spectacular Concert!! September 1, 2008
One of the very best concert DVD's I've ever seen. Not just music and singing, but a real performance which included Cirque de Solei type acrobatics, a wonderful band, great back-up singers, old movie and TV clips, a music video of Cher doing "Walking in Memphis", lots of dancing, and the magnificent Cher in all her glitzy glory! I absolutely loved it and watched it more times than I can count. Anytime it's a rainy day, or I need a lift, this concert lifts my spirits. I would highly recommend seeing it, even if you weren't a real big Cher fan.
BEST SOUND COMPARED TO THE OTHER CHER DVDS ~ THIS IS THE ONE ~ OUTSTANDING!!!!! October 3, 2006
I have several DVDs of Cher's concerts; however, the sound was not always the best. THIS ONE IS OF TRULY GREAT QUALITY, as the sound is really the most important to me. Of course, Cher is FABULOUSLY SEXY, costumed beautifully too, and has many wonderful dancers to accentuate this LONG performance. YOU GET LOTS FOR YOUR MONEY with this SENSATIONAL DVD. Buy it you will just love it!!!!! BUT YOU WILL BE YEARNING FOR MORE ~ THAT'S FOR SURE!!
CHER STILL ROCKIN EXCELLENT QUALITY July 19, 2006

We love you Cher and wish you the best . Randall nurseboy35@aol.com

Great concert DVD-almost more fun than the Farewell DVD!
Need more Cher concert DVDs released - and would love to have the FULL Divas concert instead of the small selection chosen for that release.

This concert was so colorful and fun. Her Bob Mackie outfits and her music is timeless! You just gotta love Cher. The best their is, the best that was, and the best that will ever be. Cher.
