George Michael - Live In London Documentary - I'd know him a mile off!
"I'd Know Him a Mile Off".This behind-the-scenes documentary, named after a security guard's disbelieving comment, is your standard making-of rock doc, emphasizing the enormity and complexity of the stage production and the backstage antics of the star and crew. There's never a dull moment in this documentary, and even if you've seen plenty like them (you have), it doesn't make it any less engaging or charming. Highly recommended. Live in London is a live concert recording of George Michael's final two concerts in London's Earl's Court arena on 24th and 25th August 2008 as part of his 25 Live tour. It features a career-spanning set that includes Wham! classics and his solo hits. This is the first live DVD of George Michael's career.Year:

I'm not sure it's from this specific performance, because in the documentary they mention him changing the set list at one point, but they are still quite good. Recommended.Year:
