Nelly Furtado - Loose: The Concert [CD/DVD]

Released in time for the holiday season of 2007, Loose: The Concert is just what the billing describes: a package that documents Nelly Furtado's tour supporting her hit 2006 album Loose. Like so many live releases in 2007, this is a CD/DVD package, with the DVD containing the entire 16-track set and the CD containing 11 highlights from the show.
