Description
Any fan of true art knows that an artist is most alive when he is on stage. Tupac Live At The House of Blues is Tupac's final recorded performance—eternalized on July 4, 1996 at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip—and a celebration of his vital musical genius. One of the most respected aspects of Tupac's grand personality was his absolute sincerity, and Tupac Live... stays true to that legacy: it is a completely honest performance sans censors and retakes. Unlike other Tupac Shakur DVDs that center on the tumultuous facets of his biography, Tupac Live is simply the portrait of an artist in his element: the stage. The performance, the energy and the artistry speak for themselves and further present Tupac as one of the most brilliant entertainers in the history of popular music and a master craftsman of the stage. The supplemental features of Tupac Live expand this representation of his talent: a remix music video version of "How Do You Want It" including concert performance at the Palace Theater in Hollywood and a documentary titled "G-Funk—Just The Music, No Drama," about the sonic backdrop that inspired and accompanied many of Tupac Shakur's poetic verses. Tupac Live is a fitting coda to Tupac's legacy of brilliant performance before he moved on to immortality.

 The God Returns. September 19, 2006
Pac was the man.Yes,he was not the greatest MC,but who can refute the fact that he is the greatest rapper. Here we get to see a rear glimpse of a pac live performance. Pac stalks the stage like a man possessed! his energy level is on full blast. This was at the height of his beef with BadBoy and others so he rolls on them with the heater "hit'em up", but my personal favorite performace was "How do you want ft. Jodeci" you must turn up your surround sound. Although I would see pac in Manhattan,and saw all his videos, I have never seen him in concert. This is must for any fan or budding artist take notes. He was a bad,bad man. We all miss him.
 My Belief about Tupac March 27, 2006
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am an intelligent man, when I speak my seniors both in age and status listen to me..I'm not a gang banger,I'm not a killer but I am a product of society AND SOMETIMES I wonder if Tupac Shakur knew how great he was...I wonder if he knew the level of his power.
With all my academic degrees and education I will put all that on the line and say that tupac was the greatest African American leader of all time..greater than Martin Luther King, Malcomn, Garvey all of them...and I know this comment will turn this review from a 'helpful' to a 'not helpful' but I dont mind that at all.
Only thing is that he was the poster child for paradoxy...unpredictable, a truly tortured soul who loved his people and never found out just how to adapt...he was an articulate intelligent and well spoken young man ( when he wanted to) who somehow couldn't handle the expectations of the hip hop scene compared to what he felt deep within.
This disc is recommended.
Were I to meet this man I wouldn't know what to do..just wouldn't...I think i'd break down in tears.
Live at the House of Blues January 3, 2006
Tupac Amaru Shakur had many sides to him. There was the revolutionary that spoke on how powerful the streets would be if finally unified. He also was able to flip it to a much more poetic type who shined on "Brenda's Got A Baby" and "Dear Momma." What made him infamous though was his Thug Life persona. He was a rock star in his own brash and reckless way. In one of his last performances while on Death Row Records, Live At The House Blues (Death Row/Eagle Vision) captures Pac' in rare form in front of a Los Angeles crowd.
Tupac gets the crowd buck with "Ambitionz Az A Ridah." The Outlawz back him up on stage as he sets the mood with the hard hitting album cut. Pac does smooth it out with the "How Do You Want It." K-Ci & Jo-Jo make a brief cameo to help out on the hook. The Deathrow Records atmosphere is further established when Snoop rocks while Pac takes a breather. The two close the show appropriately with "2 Of Amerika's Most Wanted." Even though Pac' only performs a handful of tracks, the quality is exceptional. This should hold down any Tupac fan until the next posthumous release.
Pac and Snoop tear it up November 24, 2005
I bought this DVD as soon as I heard it was coming out, I had waited for a long time for a live Tupac DVD to come out, and this doesn't dissapoint. Pac does a load of his classics, obviously mainly from his Death Row days like Ambitionz Az A Ridah, Hit Em Up, All About You and also a number of unreleased tracks (some you will recognise from posthumous albums). I couldn't give this any less than 5 stars, Pac just brings the house down in his final recorded performance, I would like to hear less of The Outlawz though, while they don't ruin the performance, it would definetely sound better without their limited skills.
It is a bit misleading to sell this as Tupac live, their is actually more of Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound, who perform most of the classics off Doggystyle and also tracks off Dogg Food. Unlike the Outlawz, Kurupt and Daz are both great mc's and the live performances with Snoop are electric.
All in all a great dvd, also featuring Nate Dogg & K-Ci and Jo Jo. Buy this for Tupac, Snoop, Kurupt and Daz, all dropping great performances, best of all being 2 Of Americaz Most Wanted at the end, buy it.
really great... we need more November 19, 2005
i had never seen tupac live and only heard 2pac live(deathrow)a cd which had so many cuts it sucked. Finally, this dvd does him justice. Tupac is in great form here, it was cool to hear hit em up. the snoop dog set was much longer though but at the end tupac comes back and disses biggie.
there are 5 bonus videos. i was glad to watch them all. the hit em up video is the censored version with alt lyrics. that was cool!
i would have given it 5 stars if it was all tupac. we need more of his live concerts on dvd!
