Jul 15, 2003 1h 25m Music

The Writings On The Wall established Destinys Child as one of the largest-selling female groups ever, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Survivor debuted at #1 in ten countries including the U.S., and sold more than 8 million albums worldwide. Filmed at their show in Rotterdam, Holland, Destinys Child World Tour gives fans the electrifying experience of a Destinys Child concert. Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams give a hand-clapping, foot-stomping live performance of their #1 hits-Bills, Bills, Bills, Say My Name, Bug A Boo, Jumpin, Jumpin, Survivor and Bootylicious, making sure not to miss any favourites along the way. This full concert showcases music from their self-titled debut album Destinys Child, as well as The Writings On The Wall and Survivor, and includes dynamic solo performances from all three ladies.
