(PRWEB) September 18, 2004 -- Shot on high-definition video July 11, 2002 during his critically acclaimed "Evolution 8701 Tour" in Orlando, Florida, Usher: Evolution 8701-Live In Concert captures the newly crowned "Mr. Entertainment" performing amidst a hail of pyrotechnics, smoke, maxi-screen video images and backup dancers.

Bonus material for Usher: Evolution 8701-Live In Concert features a photo gallery plus exclusive footage of Usher performing "U Dont Have To Call" in an empty 10,000 seat venue without lighting or effects -- just Usher singing from the heart in a personal and intimate setting.
