Following a massive 55-city North American Tour in support of her quadruple platinum selling FEELS LIKE HOME, Norah Jones’s historic ride continues with the release of an amazing DVD. Filmed in August 2004 at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, the concert film includes performances of most of the songs from FEELS LIKE HOME as well as hits from her landmark debut album COME AWAY WITH ME, and choice covers. Special Guests include Dolly Parton, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, and Richard Julian.

Summary: Not what I was looking for

Comment: Norah is truly a gifted performer. This is not her best DVD, but I do enjoy watching her perform.

Summary: Wierd band members
Comment: Norah is great in the concert, however theres a few picky things that I found annoying. Her band is really annoying, dont get me wrong they can play their instruments alright, but they get really annoying to watch. The guitar player especially. Also in a bunch of songs the entire band did not need to play, however no one was left out, so there are extra musical parts that are extremely unneccesary and actually make the songs worse. Example, The long way home would have been 100 times better if it were Norah alone on the guitar. Also the girl with flute and backup vocals is so unnecesary, she stands there 80 percent of the time looking afraid. And whos that Grandpa??? Also the venue they selected to film this sucks. It looks like the inside of a church or something in NASHVILLE. I probably sound negative, but Norah was good in it. Try the New Orleans DVD.

Summary: Excellence
Comment: For fans of Nora Jones, this is an essential DVD own, and you don't need my review to figure that out. For others, here are a few observations which might help with your decision making: Musicality is first rate. Never flashy, just excellent overall without any weak points. The video is a bit grainy in places, but the editing and sound are well done. Especially wonderful are the mini-documentaries. This is a band that will grow on you. You will like these folks, and will want to know more about them.
If you are a hard-core blues, rock, jazz or country fan, you may be dissapointed, as this DVD does not easily fall into your favorite genre. At the same time, if these flavors of music are within your sphere of enjoyment, and you especially like wonderful songs with sophisticated performances by a tight band populated with excellent musicians, this could be for you.
Finally, the performances are not theatrical, over-wrought or ego-driven. What you have is excellent talent doing their thing with upmost consideration for the overall sound, dressed more as if they are going to the mall to buy shoes than getting ready to be Kiss.
