The Corrs Appreciation Thread


I think there's about 4 Corrs fans on the HTF, but I bring them up because their "Live In Dublin" CD comes out tomorrow (most places will have it for sale at $11.99, with Target the lowest at $11.88).

The Live In Dublin CD features a couple of duet between Andrea and Bono (U2), and Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) pops in with his guitar on a few cuts as well. There's 11 cuts on the CD, running time is just under 45 minutes. This is like one of those MTV Unplugged recordings, but it's done with VH1 this time. The Corrs are backed by an orchestra too. There should be a DVD of this performance out one of these months.

Here's a link where you can watch the video for the 1st song on the CD (Would You Be Happier), click the "film footage" icon and then select Windows Media Player or Real Player for the streaming file to be viewed.

And just a reminder that VH1 will be airing this concert on 3/14/02 at 9 p.m. EST, with a replay on 3/17/02 (but I forgot the time). They will also be appearing on The Today Show 3/15/02, and the Rosie show on 3/18/02.

Patrick, I guess I'm the 5th Corrs fan here at HTF. I'm looking forward to the VH1 release also, but more importantly I picked-up on a rumor that Warner would be releasing a Canadian "Unplugged" DVD sometime later this year, much like they did with "Live In London".

Unfortunately for many their only exposure to the Corrs is through their few US pop hits and are quickly dismissed as less than serious. The Corrs have done some terrific covers, particularly REM's "Everybody Hurts".

I've put together a nice compilation CD of all of their acoustic releases culled from the import "Unplugged", the
2-CD Australian "In Blue" along with a great version of "The Long and Winding Road" from the "Would You Be Happier" CD single.

Really hoping that the "Unplugged" DVD finds it way to North America.

Count me in too... I like The Corrs too (I only listen to female artists). I have the Royal Albert concert and In Blue DVD-A (And 3 CDs also)

I want more DVD, why can't we have them in Region 1???

Heh, I have over 180 videos of The Corrs. And there's no telling how many Corrs songs (plus all of their albums - usually from Australia because they seem to pack all of the bonus songs on those versions).

BTW, you can order their "Live In London" DVD Region 1, NTSC from Canadian online retailers. I got mine from C & L, a Canadian online store for around $20 including outrageous shipping (but the poor Canandian dollar helps in offsetting the price).

It's an excellent concert DVD, and highly recommended.

The cover of the DVD looks like this.

I'm a big time fan also and will pick up their album for sure. Luckily a Suncoast in town here actually had some copies of their Live in London dvd which I picked up of course.

The "Live In London" DVD seems to have sporadic distribution, but it was a slated Canadian release. Why it wasn't released full-blown in the USA is a mystery to me. I've heard reports that the DVD has been seen in San Diego as well. YMMV.

Wow, and I thought I was the only one with this rare affliction My collection of female vocalist CDs compared to male ones is something like 200 to 1 and spans styles from Björk and Hole to Diana Krall :b

You can add me to the list of devoted Corrs fan, shame we don't get more of those interesting R2 DVDs.

I also tend to favor female vocalists when I buy music. But the ratio is less than 200:1.

I'm hoping one day that The Corrs: MTV Unplugged DVD shows up here as a R1 NTSC DVD, as well as their Live at Lansdowne Road DVD (which I think is their best live concert to date from sheer joy derived from their performance).
