There are plenty of hacks that can change the region code of DVD's. A better way to do it, though, would be to buy a region free DVD player. As this will last a long time and is worth the money.

WyomingGrizFan and Zack, that CD is bootleg, Universal Music only produced "Alizée En Concert" with a compilation of performances from several different locations. That CD is either the same thing as the normal one for an extremely elevated price, or you're getting some guy who was wearing a mic, and it'll be awful quality. In short, don't get that one, it's a waste of your money.

If you want the En Concert CD, Amazon.ca is a great way to go. It's about $25 US plus some shipping, but that's significantly less than what you just posted, and it's real.

And that's why you shouldn't buy them. Why would you pay the same amount or extra on a lower quality product where none of the money actually goes to Lili or the people who made it? It doesn't make any sense. The CD on amazon.ca is guaranteed to be equal or better quality, cheaper, and you can trust Amazon. I can't see why you'd possibly go for this "Nice" version, in the same way that it doesn't make sense to buy the Taiwanese version of En Concert.

I think I'd definitely heed your advice on this one, 'espire.' Besides the high price for this CD, 'Alizee en concert a nice,' which has an exchange rate at present of 1 EUR = 1.3826 USD, or 1 USD = .7233 EUR, the price for this would be slightly over $ 55.30.
I have both the 'official' CD and NTSC DVD of 'Alizee en concert' and was but wondering about this one. If Universal Music only put out the 'Alizee en concert' then I'am happy with what I have and would consider this an 'other' type of recording which would most likely not be up to quality standards let alone in allowance of royalties to legitimate parties.

Thanx for your responses.
Good day.

P.S.-The link I provided earlier about 'Alizee en concert a Nice' is the first and only instance that I have seen of this particular item being sold separately, evidently, from the 'official' release by Universal Music. There is no telling of which, if any, musical company is really reponsible for this release. Interesting though.

Here's an interesting item; the only site that I know of that advertises 'Alizee en concert' with a "not for sale to persons under age 6:"

I wish they would have told me sooner; but I still would have bought it anyway.

Heh, those wacky German rating systems! I mean, what if my 5 year old neighbor wants to use his credit card to buy it? Why should he be left out?

...selling for EUR 40.00 in used but excellent condition.

I have that CD. It's an uneditted recording made from the audience, released as a supposed "exclusive limited edition" by folks claiming to be "Road Warrior Records." Ironically, it has all the normal full copyright warning printed on the disc and such.

Sound quality is not especially great, and is at times pretty bad (though the CD itself is well made). On the other hand, it does have fun stuff like Alizée making fun of her audience for not dancing along during Moi... Lolita, and of course, Bon Anniversaire sung by the audience to one of her friends :-)

It is not worth 40 EUR. If you want it, you can find it much cheaper, or can download it in various places online I believe (nothing wrong with bootlegging a bootleg!).

I can only hope any new concert footage from her third album release will be recorded in Blue-Ray or HD-DVD. That way, it won't matter too much with quality. Alizee will be crystal clear...

Of course, first thing's first, she's got to release the third album...
