James Blunt - Chasing Time: The Bedlam Sessions

CD/DVD (NTSC/Region 2-5). Armed with guitar and piano, heart-wrenching songs and the sweetest voice heard on the airwaves since the classic singer-songwriter era of the Seventies, James Blunt rose from obscurity to become the biggest selling British artist of 2005. The most openly emotional of the new wave of sensitive singer-songwriters, when James left the army to pursue his musical dreams he found himself being championed by such luminaries as Elton John and legendary US songwriter Linda Perry (who signed him to her Custard label). Released quietly in the UK by Atlantic in October 2004, his debut album, 'Back to Bedlam', rose to prominence by word of mouth, fuelled by amusing and touching live performances. 'You're Beautiful', a song about a lifetime lived in a moment, became the soundtrack of a turbulent year, despite taking several weeks to reach number one. Back To Bedlam went on to become 2005's biggest selling album in the UK. Everything that makes James such a special talent can be seen and heard on these extraordinary live performances, filmed before an invited audience at the BBC in November 2005, and on tour in Ireland in December 2005. Whether solo or backed by a full band, he loses himself in his songs. It is the same quality of intensity captured in his promo for 'You're Beautiful', included here with his other videos. Between songs, James can be light-hearted and debonair. Warner. 2006. * Please note you will need an All Code DVD player to view. Album Description

Music CD is GREAT! If you have Sony as your DVD player watch out!

"Playback prohibited by area limitations". No one at Amazon tells you that some imports don't play on some DVD players. Gee Thanks March 28, 2007

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!

I live in Oregon. I bought this set and could not play the DVD. It will not play on the DVD player or on the computer and we even changed regions. I love James Blunt and have his CD (the CD in this set is great too after you get used to it being live) but I found the DVD impossible to play. I paid for something I can't even use! March 10, 2007

Region 2 DVD being sold in Region 1?

This DVD is an import from the European market and does NOT run on US machines. I have 4 DVD players and all 4 rejected this item. Amazon is trying to refund me 8.51 for a 22.98 purchase that THEY SHOULD NOT BE SELLING IN THE US in any case. What a ridiculous rip off. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!! Amazon is totally irresponsible in selling it. James Blunt himself should be furious. BAD, BAD, BAD deal. February 3, 2007
