"Celtic Thunder: It's Entertainment"
Celtic Thunder came to the attention of the American public with the group's PBS specials. Paul Michael Byrom, George Donaldson, Keith Harkin, Ryan John Kelly and Damien Joseph McGinty, Jr. are the five Irishmen who make up the group that Billboard Magazine named the top world album artist. Their high-energy concerts sell out throughout the country, and their songs feature a wide range of composers like Sting, Brian Wilson, David Foster, Jim Croce, Leonard Cohen, Michael Buble and others. The songs include "You Raise Me Up," "Hallelujah," "Standing on the Corner," "Every Breath You Take," "Home," "Ireland's Call" and "Hard to Say I'm Sorry."
"All Together Now: The Beatles & Cirque du Soleil"
George Harrison and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte were friends and wanted to combine the uniqueness of the kinetic acrobatics of Cirque du Soleil with the music of The Beatles. After Harrison's death, there was a major effort to bring this idea to reality.
The story is captured beautifully in this new documentary, which takes us through the process of bringing it all together. Today, thousands of people have enjoyed the show "Love" at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas. We see the early stages where Sir George Martin and his son are working on the great music at the Abbey Road Studios, along with the first rehearsals at the Mirage.
There were disagreements along the way, but it's all worthwhile with the great show and the smiles on the faces of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
"Neil Diamond: Hot August Night/NYC"
Neil Diamond made his first recording more than 50 years ago. Since then, he has become one of the best-selling artists of all time.
His latest release was filmed at Madison Square Garden during his four-night sold-out shows. The songs, which have sold millions, include "Solitary Man," "America," "Sweet Caroline," "You Don't Bring Me Flowers," "Song Sung Blue," "Love on the Rocks," "Beautiful Noise," "Cherry, Cherry" and more.
"Vegas: Season One Vol. 1 & 2"
Director Michael Mann began his career as a writer for "Starsky and Hutch" and later created the show "Vegas" for Aaron Spelling. The show starred Robert Urich as private detective Dan Tanna who drove around the streets of Las Vegas in his 1957 Red Thunderbird. The show had the fashions of the 1970s and lots of action, adventure and romance.
