Music in High Places - Boyz II Men (2001)

In this part of the Music in High Places series, Boyz II Men go to wintry South Korea where their modern R&B sensibility meets traditional Korean culture, resulting in a surprisingly simpatico series of acoustic performances. Boyz II Men perform some of their most popular songs, including "End of the Road," "Step On Up," and "On Bended Knee." The latter two are performed in the Chin Sul Fencing Stadium during which children and young adults display the grace and power of tae kwon do. While in a conference room in the Demilitarized Zone, the group sings "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" into microphones that are broadcast into North Korea. In addition to the beautiful locales and well-done photography, the charm lies not only in how much the group enjoys experiencing another culture, but how much the military personnel and locals enjoy hosting them. --Dana Van Nest Amazon.com

Nothin comes close

At first,i gat this masterpiece from ma brother as a birthday present, tho' it was on vhs.a close friend borrowed it and he wont return it!Hence, I decided to roll to AMAZON;this time i purchased the dvd fomat.Dam!See,the diff btw Boyziimen and anyother is that they sing music not just songs.

I am a singer/song writer myself and voices like those of the philly brothers dont come by any means cheap.The blend of their delicious harmony brings laughter to a dyin' heart.In North Korea, the weather is cold and freezin still their voices is nothin but pure bliss. Uhhh oh.

I adore them to that extent where i have every album and possess every selection that ever came out.As a matter of fact, i own a spanish version of "I'll make luv ii u inspire my musical career every day that passes by.

Therefore, i must stress that even if, this dvd cost $50,i wont vacillate to have it as part of my selection.hey, are u still readin this, u should be on ur way to the store right now....and hey, go to AMAZON because u wont find it at HMV! February 29, 2004

boyz 2 men "harmony excelled"

i've always been a fan since the early days. i'd bought all the albums etc... and saw this advertised in dvd magazine. of course i bought it!! what can i say? being a musician/vocalist myself these guys really make me sick! there harmonies and awareness of each other is frightening. all the favourites fom all the albums sang acoustic in seoul with the mountains as a backdrop and the snow on the ground. these boys are the undisputed kings of close harmony vocal. a great buy even for non boyz 2 men fans. buy it now!

My New Favorite DVD

This much-anticipated DVD finally arrived to my house last night, and it completely blew me away. As an aspiring R&B singer, I look to Boyz II Men as one of my main influences. The presentation is wonderful, and the vocals, despite Mike's absence, are simply heavenly, especially on a jam-session-style improvisation of "Never Go Away". Their candid interviews bring insight into many facets of the lives and careers of one of the most talented vocal groups ever. If you like good music, I strongly recommend this item.

Great acoustic performances!

The boyz prove once again that they are the best group EVER! their vocal talent is shown here in a all new light thanx to the acoustic renditions here! only a few quibbles though; poor Mike wasn't there (not his fault) and they did not sing On Bended Knee (properly anyway) and I'll Make Love To You. All in all fantastic. Worth every penny. January 27, 2002
