It's just truly amazing to see a sea of people at their concerts.. watching this band is something that goes down on your personal checklist of things to do while they are still around because no other band will be the same. I do think that Mick' voice is amazing.. its infact the opposite of Steven Tylers (Aerosmith).. Steve's got older and raspier.. Mick's sounds like its getting younger! He does his dances and struts around like he's married to a 20 year old.. oh wait.. he is..

Disc 3 they're in Argentina, China (first time visit!) and Disc 4 has interviews of the band.. and this is amazing.. the drummer speaks!!! Charlie Watts actually speaks! Its great to see them interviewed and how they naturally act.. Big fans of the band will not be disappointed! I did like the fact that the concerts were in full-length and not the complete taping because Im very fluent with fast-forwarding past boring segments and I rarely had to for these CDs.. except the few songs that I personally didnt care for... I also did get a chance to get re-educated on some of their songs and hearing how they performed them live. I always tend to prefer how live songs are performed as opposed to the taped album version.. they tend to be more liberal and I like free-flowing on the spur type of 'hey' 'yah' and 'ahhhhhh babyyy' thrown in during the chorus..

This set is only available at BestBuy, so hit your local store or rolling">online.. you wont be disappointed.. its a must-have in your music DVD library and its something that everyone will appreciate knowing that you've got a staple in your collection that everyone would love to own

Some observations I have about the CD: He's got several Spanish and mix tracks on there (I have the iTunes version). I skip those and I kind of wish they weren't on the CD . Although I do have to say I actually like the Spanish versions better. His voice suits it well but you know, the whole I don't know Spanish thing kind of gets in the way.

Most of the songs are ballads, classic Enrique material. However, there's so many in the middle of the CD they sort of just become forgettable and I usually skip songs like Sweet Isabel and Little Girl.
He's got some heavy pop and hip hop influences on the CD which I think is great. In the past, I think he's had a hard time coming into mainstream American radio. His sound is really unique and it never has seemed to fit anywhere.

The lyrics of a couple of the songs are VERY suggestive, even downright explicit in some cases. I kind of cringe at those. On the flip side, a lot of the songs are very sweet and romantic.
Fans of Enrique will enjoy songs like Miss You and Don't Forget About Me. The latin genre influence is clear and old fans will liken it to his older music.

Several of the songs have potential to be BIG radio hits despite or in some cases because of the lyrics. I imagine Do You Know, Push, On Top of You, Tired of Being Sorry and Somebody's Me will all do well.
I'm guessing unless you are an established fan of Enrique, there's no need to buy the whole CD. However, songs like Somebody's Me is worth checking out by just about anyone.

I am a huge fan of Polk Audio when it comes to speakers. Why? Well I know there are better sounding speakers out there but when I listen to them and realize for the type of quality I'm hearing and the price they're selling its a no-brainer! The last time I bought speakers was back in 2000, so when I went back out on the market looking for a subwoofer, I decided I was going to be non-biased and give other brands a shot at entering my home.

After a ton of research, it pretty much came down to Klipsch and *surprise suprise* Polk Audio. What were my requirements? My tv-room is pretty large so I needed something that could deliver big life-size bass. Since I dont have neighbors and tend to prefer movies where rockets are blasting off and guns are being fired.. I wanted something that could deliver the audio punch I was severly lacking. All signs pointed me towards the Polk Audio PSW-505 or the Klipsch RW-10D. I was really impressed with how the PSW505 was consistently receiving extremely high marks through out all the different home theatre websites, as did the RW-10D but when it came to price the PSW-505 beat out the RW-10D.. decision made.

Now I can feel the floor rumble when I turn up the volume when any action is going on and I'm that much closer to a true home theatre experience. I already dis-like going to the cinema so this has definitely given me more cost-savings by not needing to spend $50 (tickets+grub) at a dirty movieplex with a ton of annoying distractions.

The receiver is 500W 6.1 capable, and with my newest purchase of a Polk Subwoofer and utilizing the Rocketfish Wireless Speaker Kit I could see myself being setup in no time to have a true HD home theatre experience with this extremely cost-effective receiver. The BestBuy salesperson came along and even mentioned how this puppy has the 'Digital Cinema Auto Calibration' feature... naturally I bit and asked 'What exactly does that mean?'.. to which he responded that it has an outboard microphone to optimize the receiver output based on checking and adjusting for the speakers, distances from where you're sitting and sound pressure levels. Sold! Apparently there's a microphone which they include which you simply hook up and place right about where you intend to do your watching / listening from and the receiver auto detects and calibrates the experience to be at an optimal quality based from where you're going to be doing all the popcorn eating.

Now the reason I'm wanting a consumer home monitoring solution is not to replace my HSSP but to compliment it with some video surveillance monitoring of what goes on around the outside of my house. I am extremely interested in knowing that there might have been a stranger(s) who walked by my house at any time during the day/night. The ability of having a pro-active security system to monitor the outside and receive immediate alerts if anything gets triggered is a very comforting experience to have. I set out to look for a consumer product that can do just that and the first one I installed was the Motorola Homesight Wireless kit HMEZ2000.

Im a big fan of wireless devices, so when I found out that the Motorola Homesight product had wireless cameras/devices that could be implemented I was excited. The installation of the Homesight application went without any issues and getting the cameras all discovered went pretty smoothly also. I thought this was too good to be true! The wireless kit actually comes with one day camera, and a door/window sensor which I wasnt interested in since my HSSP again completely covers all things related to break-ins. I was pleased to find out that the system can accomodate upto 12 wireless and 3 wired cameras. I went ahead and hooked up a couple of the day and day/night cameras, it was pretty simple to find nice vantage view points from the inside looking out (i.e. front/back doors, upstairs looking out over the yards and driveways, etc) and luckily all the cameras stayed within the range for I was able to monitor all of them in unison.

The Homesight application was a little bit lacking in terms of user-friendliness and ease of use for speed purposes.. setting up alerts on each monitor and having to key in notifications was pretty simple thanks to the tabbed sections (Condition, Action, Notification). Naturally I setup everything to email me and SMS me and on the prowl I went.

I've got to say that the day/night camera did a pretty decent job in capturing a sharp image. Thanks to the infra-red engineers at Motorola! The notifications with an image came through without a hitch, and I also had the videos saved onto the computer for record keeping purposes. The videos were saved in AVI format and the camera's even have a microphone built into them so if the 'perp' says anything you might have the luxury of capturing their voices too.

Since it is Motorola, they have a lot of accessories available that can tremendously increase the flexibility and scope of the system. They've got temperature sensors, power controllers, motion sensors, waters sensors, and a keypad kit to allow for immediate arm/disarm without touching your PC. I soon enough realized that Homesight could also be used for automation purposes. I could setup the system to have a motion sensor setup in a particular room and once it detects movement it could trigger a power controller to light that rooms respective lamp as you walked in.

It's nice to see a product that focuses on the monitoring aspect more than the technology configuration requirements and implementation. I was able to get this completely configured within 2 hours, without any interference from my existing wireless network. I definitely would recommend this product for the price and functionality it has to offer.
