As music DVDs go, sweet dreams must surely be made of this. Quite apart from carrying a great performance (although the music production is perhaps too sanitary overall), the label appears to have gone all-out to ensure that pretty much every extra feature that the DVD format supports is represented here in the best possible way. The performance is taken from the final (London Docklands Arena) date of the 1999 tour in support of Amnesty International and Greenpeace and includes all the classics you'd expect. There are some nice multi-angle options on a couple of the songs, a self-congratulatory and patronizing interview-documentary section (but better to have it than not), a discography, a complete lyrics section, and a rather dull gallery of photographs that looks like a way of using up the PR department's leftovers. But the music's great if you're a fan and pretty damn good even if you're not. As a demonstration of how all music DVDs should be produced--i.e., stuffed to the last possible byte with all kinds of material--this release is the business. --Roger Thomas

 Annie & Dave Reunite for "PeaceTour" September 20, 2007
Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart reunite for "PeaceTour," bringing their collective talents once again to their fans in a very enjoyable concert performance. Annie has never failed to astonish me with her amazing vocal range. Opening with the hard edge rock beat of their "Peace" cd's "I Want It All," the duo moves through both their Eurythmics hits, as well as selections from Annie's solo releases. Standouts include a rousing medley including- "I Love You Like A Ball And Chain," "Would I Lie To You?" and "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves" which showcases vocal talents from three of the back-up female singers. Dave's skills on guitar are brought solidly to the forefront as he and Annie go into a nice acoustic session, (with a GreenPeace inspired backdrop of pine trees) featuring a lovely take on the duo's "Here Comes The Rain Again" and Annie's solo hit "Why," which is followed by an enchanting take on "The Miracle of Love."
As the concert grows to a close the audience is informed that the proceeds from the "PeaceTour" concert will be donated to two environmentally conscience organizations, "Amnesty" and "GreenPeace," This is followed with Annie sweetly pleading, "please think about joining these worthwhile organization to make a difference," and then we're swept into a performance of "Peace" (is just a word) and the concert is closed suitably with Eurythmics signature "Sweet Dreams ."
Annie and Dave are outfitted in camouflage Army pants and shirts with bright silver, fur lined jackets and hoods! The entire band and back-up singers are also clad in Army camouflage clothing. But the poor taste in costuming is forgotten when the music, and most of all, Annie's vocals kick in! She could stand wearing rags and be dripping with mud, and her voice would still transcend the listener to overlook her attire. All said, the Eurythmics's "PeaceTour" performance is an enjoyable experience and a very welcomed addition to any fan's dvd library!

Very Good Live Concert..Excellent Picture,Excellent Sound.And the Camera Work is VG+.
Dave Stewart is getting some real nice Guitar Tone and he also plays some Sweet Slide Guitar on Missionary Man.Annie Lennox is having Fun from the Start and her Vocals Cook.She has a Great Presence on Stage and a Very Good Trio of Backup Singers.The Band Rocks with Dave and Annie.
This is a Very Good Concert to Watch and even just Listen to.They play like 21 songs here.
So if you are a Eurythmics Fan this is a Must Have DVD.If you have heard their songs but never bought any of their CD's then this is an EXCELLENT LIVE MUSIC ANTHOLOGY for you.
I can say no more.

Living Proof That Not All Artists Are Made In A Studio February 29, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I've read other reviews posted here and what I think they have all failed to touch on is this: Live is the proof in the pudding! If you can listen to the stripped down to guitar versions of some of their most popular songs they render here like only they can, and NOT have chills listening to Annie break her heart up into pieces and vocalize it, then you are the one who placed the chill in her heart.Watch Dave look at her as she sings and pick up on when she is going to hold a note out and when she is not while backing her with nothing but a few strums of a guitar! THAT! Is the meaning of ART. Listening to the different arrangements they have come up with for some of their most popular songs is reason enough to buy this DVD.
 A few good songs December 29, 2003

Overall, not as good as I was expecting but o.k. Relative to other concert dvd's a 3 star. Better to rent this one.
