Pink filming two shows in Melbourne for a live DVD

PINK fans seeing the star in concert tonight and tomorrow in Melbourne will be caught on film for a DVD release.

Pink makes a grand trapeze entrance at her first Melbourne concert.

MELBOURNE Pink fans with tickets to her concerts tonight and tomorrow should warm up their voices.

Pink will film both Rod Laver Arena shows for her The Truth About Love Tour DVD, due to be released before Christmas.

It follows the souvenir DVD of the Funhouse tour being filmed in Sydney in 2009.

That DVD became the fastest-selling music release in Australia, and has gone platinum 31 times, with sales of over 465,000 copies.

"The feeling from Pink and her management is that Melbourne is her biggest market in the world so why wouldn't you film a DVD here?," Pink's promoter Michael Coppel said.

"We're doing it early in the run, we want to get the really enthusiastic audiences, the hardcore fans who bought tickets the first day the show went on sale. It's exciting, she's really enjoying the tour, she's in a really good frame of mind."

The two Melbourne concerts being documented will be No. 11 and 12 of her 46 shows in Australia.

Rod Laver Arena has been bathed in pink lighting this week for the start of her record-breaking 18 show stint at the venue.

Pink has sold over 220,000 tickets in Melbourne for The Truth About Love tour, and around 550,000 in the whole of Australia.

Coppel said Pink, real name Alecia Moore, is settled into her stint in Australia that will end on September 8, also her 34th birthday.

She will have a week off during the three-month run, and has taken daughter Willow to Disney on Ice in Melbourne.

Pink celebrated her first Melbourne show on Sunday night with drinks at city establishment the European.

"Alicia said Australian audiences really get this tour," Coppel said. "She feels everything's working, from the host that introduces The Truth About Love concept and all the gags, she thinks Australians are getting it much more than the Americans and the Europeans. She really feels at home here, the audience get her humour, her nuances, they just get her. There's been fantastic responses, the audiences are loving it."

Promoters Live Nation have issued a late release of tickets for all of Pink's Rod Laver Arena shows over the next week.

Rear and restricted view seats are also available for $79.90 from Ticketek.

The Pink pop-up merchandise store, which is at Melbourne's 1000 Pound Bend until July 21, will now move to Sydney's Metro Theatre from July 28 to August 11.
