"Have you ever had a dream that felt so real, you couldn't tell the difference between the real world and the dream world? On November 18, 2001, the world's biggest star, Britney Spears, brought her "Dream Within a Dream" Tour to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in legendary Las Vegas, Nevada. This defining concert moment, witnessed by millions of fans as it was broadcast live on HBO, is now yours on this DVD, Britney Spears Live from Las Vegas. The spectacle is truly fantastic. Never before has Britney performed so fearlessly, so confidently and with so much energy and enthusiasm for her singing, her dancing and her fans. Indeed, Britney gives her all in this concert: from bungee jumping to playing a jewellery box ballerina, from running through a row of fire trees to "singing in the rain", Britney is a one-woman explosion of talent. Britney Spears Live from Las Vegas showcases 15 of Britney's biggest hits from her three multi-platinum albums, ...Baby One More Time, Oops!... I Did It Again and her latest smash release, Britney. Plus, you'll love seeing Britney posing as a Janis Joplin wannabe in a comedy take-off of a "Making the Band" documentary.
