Live: Travelling the World
Roxette Live: Traveling the World is the first and only live album by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on 6 December 2013 by Parlophone in conjunction with Warner Music. The set consists of recordings derived from three separate performances of the 2012 South American leg of "The Neverending World Tour". The music album contains their 5 May concert at the Teatro Caupolicán in Santiago, Chile in its entirety, while the DVD and Blu-ray also contains songs taken from their performances at the Orfeo Superdomo in Córdoba, Argentina on 3 May and the Teatro Positivo in Curitiba, Brazil on 8 May. Also included on the DVD/Blu-ray is an exclusive documentary, "It All Begins Where It Ends – The Incredible Story of Roxette".
Critical reception
Malaysian newspaper The Star gave the set a positive review, saying that "At 55, Marie Fredriksson may not sound like how she used to anymore", but that longtime fans would be pleased with her "energetic performance... it's good to know that she hasn't lost her mojo." They praised the performance of "It Must Have Been Love" as the album's best song, saying that Fredriksson "lets the audience sing the song for her before launching into a rocking performance of her own." Swedish publication Aftonbladet was also positive, rating the album three out of five.Formats and track listings
