Ricky Martin: One Night Only
is a gig performed at Liberty State Park - featuring his trademark hit
Livin' La Vida Loca - and also containing a collaboration with
Carlos Santana and Jose Feliciano on track 9.
Also included is Ricky showing you a brief bit of footage of Puerto Rico,
"Who Am I?" - Ricky getting very philosophical about his life and some very
dodgy haircuts, plus 90 seconds of Ricky singing with some kids from the town.
His singles chart history to mid-2000 is as follows :
Sep 97 No. 6 (Un Dos Tres) Maria
Jul 98 No.29 The Cup of Life
Jul 99 No. 1 Livin' La Vida Loca
Nov 99 No.12 Shake Your Bon-Bon
Apr 00 No. 9 Private Emotion (with Meja)
The picture quality is okay, but nothing outstanding as it's an okay NTSC-to-PAL
video transfer, all presented in fullscreen. The average bitrate is an
excellent 9.17Mb/s.
The sound comes in Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1, with no problems whatsoever.

The music promo for Shake Your Bon-Bon, even though we already have it

probably look at once and not bother with again.

Better than his

the menus here are all animated and contain the man's music.
