'Imagine Dragons - Smoke + Mirrors Live'
(Imagine Dragons / Blu-ray+CD / NR / 2016 / Eagle Vision)

Overview: 'Smoke + Mirrors Live' is a multi-sensory production, but equally an intimate fan experience as the crowd sing along word-for-word with the band. Featuring sensational performances of their multi-platinum hits and fan favorites from their first two records, including 'Radioactive', 'I Bet My Life', 'Shots', 'Gold' and 'Demons'; and the never before played live 'Thief'.

DVD Verdict: For those not in the know, here's what you should know about the highly inspiring musicians known as Imagine Dragons. The American band hail from Las Vegas, Nevada and have a line-up that consists of lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman.

The band gained exposure following the release of their debut studio album, Night Visions (2012) and first single 'It's Time'. According to Billboard, Imagine Dragons topped the year-end rock rankings for 2013; Billboard named them "The Breakthrough Band of 2013", and Rolling Stone named their single 'Radioactive' "the biggest rock hit of the year".

MTV also called them "the year's biggest breakout band". Night Visions peaked at number two on the weekly Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart. The band's second studio album Smoke + Mirrors reached number one on the Billboard 200, Canadian Albums Chart, and UK Albums Chart.

Track Listing: 1. INTRO 2. SHOTS 3. TROUBLE 4. IT'S TIME 5. FOREVER YOUNG/SMOKE AND MIRRORS 6. POLAROID 7. I'M SO SORRY 8. THIEF 9. GOLD 10. DEMONS (feat. BLEEDING OUT and WARRIORS) 11. AMSTERDAM 12. HOPELESS OPUS 13. ON TOP OF THE WORLD 14. FRICTION 15. RELEASE 16. I BET MY LIFE 17. RADIOACTIVE 18. THE FALL

Filmed as part of their current award-winning tour, 'Smoke + Mirrors Live' kicks off in real style (after the obligatory 'Intro') with both 'Shots' and 'Trouble,' before unleashing 'It's Time,' 'Forever Young / Smoke and Mirrors,' 'Polaroid,' and the stirring 'I'm So Sorry.' The never-performed-live-before 'Thief' is then backed by 'Gold,' before a quite stunning 'Demons' (featuring 'Bleeding Out' and 'Warriors') is brought forth to the singing-their-hearts-out packed full house.

Folowing on from that we next get 'Amsterdam,' 'Hopeless Opus,' and both 'On Top Of The World' and 'Friction,' before 'Release' and 'I Bet My Life.' Then comes the Grammy Award-winning 'Radioactive,' from their platinum-selling debut album Night Visions, before the show is wrapped with a massively impressive 'The Fall.'

So come on now, one and all, and experience (or re-live!) the original concert up-close-and-personal with the band, on the big screen in 4K and Dolby Atmos* – the ultimate cinematic music experience, of that have no doubt. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs, an audio CD, and the 2-disc set also includes Exclusive Bonus Features: Multi Angle Options for 'Roots' and 'I Was Me,' and Alternative Versions of 'Hopeless Opus' and 'Gold.'
