Seal recently put out a "Live in Paris" disk that in Canada at least, comes with a companion DVD. Here are my thoughts on the disk.

The disk packaging is... well... small. It comes in the CD format even though there is a full DVD inside, which means you will want to get another case for the DVD. Was it the price of a CD plus a DVD? No. I paid $29 CAD at an airport, so you could get it cheaper for sure, but still it was worth it even at the airport price - I have no issue with the value.

The selection of songs was really good. Old and new from all of the albums. Interestingly there is a version of 'Hey Joe' (yes - Seal does Hendrix) on the DVD disc, and there are interviews and other such things one would expect to find on the DVD.

Sound quality of the CD is good, and the DVD comes with a DTS 5.1 track that is (pardon the pun) Killer.

The Band with Seal is... well... adequate. This is my gripe on this product. The guitarist and the drummer both must have had small breakfasts or something. The keyboardist was OK, and the other fellow that alternated guiter and bass was really good. Seal was... Seal. He worked the croud, and they loved it. He sang like that guy you've heard sing all his hits - but in a live setting. Maybe better than you would expect, actually.

If you like Seal and haven't seen him before - this is a great value.
