Live in Atlantic City is the eighth video album by American singer Beyoncé. It was released on November 22, 2013, by Columbia Records and Parkwood Entertainment.

Released as a part of the home video for her autobiographical television film Life Is But a Dream, Live in Atlantic City contains footage from Beyoncé's four-night residency show at Revel Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, (2012). The concert film was directed by Ed Burke and Beyoncé herself. It encompasses live performances of 21 songs, while the album includes Beyoncé's previously unreleased "God Made You Beautiful" as a bonus audio track.

A commercial success, Live in Atlantic City peaked atop the US Top Music Videos alongside Life Is But a Dream, becoming Beyoncé's fourth number-one album on the chart. Furthermore, it reached the top ten in numerous other countries, being certified platinum in the United Kingdom. To promote the album, Beyoncé premiered videos for performances of "Schoolin' Life", "Dance for You" and "Party" via her YouTube channel.

Background

On February 16, 2013, Beyoncé released Life Is But a Dream, an autobiographical television film. It premiered on HBO, garnering 1.8 million viewers for the initial broadcast, becoming the largest audience for a documentary since Nielsen Media Research revised its method of measuring viewership in 2004.[1] However, critical commentary towards Life Is But a Dream was mixed with divided opinions by critics.[2]

Film synopsis

Live in Atlantic City contains live performances of twenty-one songs along with a new song "God Made You Beautiful", written by Australian singer-songwriter Sia. Several short excerpts of the performances found on the film are also featured in Life Is But a Dream itself.[3] The film opens with Beyoncé appearing in front of a large screen with her silhouette being seen. As the music of "End of Time" starts, she performs a choreography with her female dancers and French duo Les Twins on stage further singing the song's lyrics. "Get Me Bodied" follows with a similarly choreographed performance and for the third song "Baby Boy", the singer dances with her background dancers in front of a holographic background performing a Dutty Wine dance at the end. "Crazy in Love" and "Diva" are featured as the fourth and fifth song, respectively. "Naughty Girl" is preceded by a video projection with a voice-over by Beyoncé talking about female sexuality. A snippet of Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" is interpolated within it and the singer performs the song with her female dancers. She continues with "Party" for which a prominent Las Vegas showgirl theme is featured.

Prior to starting "Dance for You", Beyoncé announces to the audience that she is going to dance to the song without singing it. "Freakum Dress" opens with a short interlude during which several dancers appear onstage dancing with long dresses. Beyoncé appears and performs the song, interacting with her guitarist towards the end. "I Care" is performed by the singer alone on stage and during "Schoolin' Life" a laser show is displayed for a choreographed dance. "1+1" sees Beyoncé singing the song atop a piano and "Flaws and All" follows. "Run the World (Girls)" is preceded by a video interlude set to the music of "Countdown", shown on the screen onstage. A video featuring various footage from Beyoncé's life follows as she recites the lyrics from her song "I Was Here". After that, she performs the opening lines of "I Will Always Love You" a cappella as a tribute to Whitney Houston and continues with her own song "Halo". "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) is performed afterwards with the same choreography from its music video and "Green Light" is used as the encore. "Love on Top" is the last song on Live in Atlantic City, performed by Beyoncé and her dancers as the credits for the concert film are shown.[4]

"God Made You Beautiful" is featured as a bonus audio song on the album and it premiered online on November 22, 2013. It is a down-tempo ballad, with a staccato beat and a gospel-tinged chorus.[5] Instrumentally, it consists of drums, strings, pianos, runs and hand claps.[6] [7] It opens with an "echoey" a cappella choir and it lyrically talks about Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter Blue Ivy as the singer tells that she "brought me back to life/you bring me back to life."[8]

Release

Live in Atlantic Citys home video release for DVD and Blu-ray formats was announced on October 30, 2013 along with a trailer.[9] During the video, it was revealed that the release included a two-disc set, with the second part, Live in Atlantic City, being bonus concert footage filmed during Beyoncé's four-night residency show at Revel Atlantic City between May 25–28, 2012. A new song, titled "God Made You Beautiful", was also featured on the concert film and heard as the background music in the trailer. The home media release was made available for pre-order on November 1, 2013.[10] [11] [12] Live in Atlantic City was first released in Germany and the Netherlands on November 22, 2013 as part of the two-disc set of Life Is But a Dream. Three days later, the DVD was also released in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, and the Blu-ray edition was released in the latter country the same day.[13] [46] |-! scope="row"| United States| rowspan="4"| DVD| | align="center"|[47] |-! scope="row"| Poland| November 26, 2013| rowspan="3"| Sony Music| align="center"|[48] |-! scope="row"| Australia| November 29, 2013| align="center"|[49] [50] |-! scope="row"| Turkey| December 5, 2013| align="center"|[51] |-! scope="row"| United States| December 17, 2013| Blu-ray| | align="center"|[52]

    After the film was released, videos of the performances of three songs were released online. The performance of "Schoolin' Life" from the film was previewed on Beyoncé's official YouTube channel on November 25, 2013.[13] A writer of Vibe magazine felt that the laser light show from the performance "brighten[ed] up Atlantic City".[14] The performance of "Dance for You" was also uploaded to the singer's channel two days later.[15] The live rendition of "Party" was the final uploaded video from the concert film on December 2.[16] John Walker of MTV reviewed it positively writing: "The sparkling, goddess-like centerpiece in a swirling sea of pink feathers, Beyoncé shines like a true showgirl on stage. Thankfully, unlike the 1995 camp classic, none of her backup dancers look nefarious enough to try anything funny". Walker further praised Beyoncé's vocals and dance moves as "on point as always" and the "flawlessly areolicious bustier" she wore.[17]

    Commercial performance

    On November 30, 2013, Live in Atlantic City debuted at number four on the Dutch Music DVD Chart and later peaked at number two.[18] The same week it also debuted at number ten on the Belgian Music DVD Chart in Flanders and at number thirty on the French Music DVD Chart.[19] [20] The next week, the album moved to number nine on the French Music DVD Chart, setting a new peak position in that country. On the Spanish Music DVD Chart it peaked at number eleven on November 25, 2013, which became its only placement outside of the top ten on a DVD chart.

    The album debuted at number one in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2013, becoming Beyoncé's first UK Music Video Chart number-one.[21] It remained at the top in its second week, before falling to number two by One Night at the Palladium (2013) by Robbie Williams the following week.[22] [23] It spent six more weeks within the top five on the chart and it was seen for the last time on May 31, 2014 at number forty, having spent a total of twenty-six weeks on the chart.[24] On December 27, 2013 the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) certified the album platinum for shipments of 50,000 copies in the United Kingdom. In the United States, Live in Atlantic City became Beyoncé's fourth number-one album on the Top Music Videos chart, debuting on top for the week of December 14, 2013.[25] In Australia, the album peaked at number two on the chart and was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipments of 7,500 copies.[26]
