While her bloom began with a few concert clips on her Live and More! video, Britney Spears shows on Live in Las Vegas that she is a performer in full, spectacular flower. Recorded on November 18, 2001, at the MGM Grand hotel and equipped with a small army of lissome dancers, ornate sets, a crack band, and an array of alluring costumes, Spears literally battles the elements on a gigantic stage. Flames, lasers, and -- in the shattering "...Baby One More Time" finale -- gushing rain prove no match for the moves of this pop sensation. Throughout the show, the performer takes time-outs to speak to soldiers in distant military bases, but her shout-outs never interrupt her flow. The grown-up hits, as well as a can't-miss cover of Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," convey Spears' essential grit and fire. There's more than a hint of bondage in "I'm a Slave 4 U," as Spears (leashed in an emerald bra) breaks out from a series of cages; still it never goes beyond Bob Fosse lite. DVD extras include a very amusing Janis Joplin parody and a spoof of a "Making the Band" documentary. Tracks are as follows:
