Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In some shots, she has a scarf wrapped around the belt of her dress. On others shots, it's not there! Now you see it, now you don't - sometimes in the same song, it's there one second and not the next. Should we put it down to poor continuity? What the heck - I don't mind....
What I do mind is the fact that this is such a warm and wonderful little gem of a DVD. I've always liked the album - all the songs are fabulous, but to see her perform them as on the CD is very special. This seems to be an intimate little concert, with only James Hooker seen accompanying Nanci on keyboards. However, I'm certain there is at least one more guitarist playing in the background somewhere.
Whatever! It's a little masterpiece and Nanci has this really comfortable rapport with the audience, which adds to the intimacy. At the end of the set, with the credits going up, there's a nifty little treat when she sings the "Wichita Falls Waltz" - a short and humorous piece which I had not heard before and is not on the original album.
The videos are a joy - I love all five tracks, but "I Knew Love", "I Don't Want To Talk About Love" and "Late Night Grande Hotel", (in which she looks stunning and different - it's the eye make-up and the fringe) are fantastic. The songs are breathtaking, but the videos enhance them.
Go and buy this - it is a wonderful gem. I wonder if there are any more of these DVDs just waiting to be unleashed on the unsuspecting public. Let's hope so.
