 No subtitles September 24, 2013 By Anthony Q. (New Rochelle, NY) See All My Reviews "If you expect subtitles, do not buy this item because it has none. What irked me was that the info on the jacket clearly stated that there were subtitles. I tried the dvd in several machines with no luck. For a concert that was attended by thousands and viewed by probably tens of thousands, and performed by one of the most popular singers in the world, and, finally, one that was recorded recently and sold as a first class recording, this was a profound disappointment. Otherwise, the concert was very enjoyable." Report Abuse
