The brothers Hanson--Zac, Taylor, and Isaac--successfully rework material from their third album, Underneath, into a jangly pop extravaganza in this fun concert taped in November 2003. Boys at the time of their 1990s international hit, "MmmBop," the trio are now young men on a mission to scale the heights of pop grandeur with such smart bubble gum tunes as "Penny and Me," "With You in Your Dreams," and "You Never Know," the latter an echo of the Beatles' jazzier side circa 1965. Highlights include Taylor's compelling vocal on the solo "Crazy Beautiful," and a couple of unexpectedly fine covers of "Teach Your Children" and "Ain't No Sunshine." Presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, the DVD also includes a “making-of” documentary. Recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
