Summary: SWINGS LIKE MAD MAN
Comment: i haven't seen her other dvd , but caught this concert while visiting family some while ago . i own it now . with anthony wilson (a killin' brit player) on guitar and peter erskine on drums , you are talking some serious swing my friends . i forget the bassist just at the moment , but he is terrific as well . the three musicians i mentioned by name are all leaders with many recordings in their respective catalogs . it's all here . the full range of expression . great sound and dynamic range do great honor to both whisper quiet intros and delicate solos as well as insanely swinging flights that rip it up . and what groves . expect to be transported . sublime . what a wonderful woman and what an exceptional group of artists . trad jazz 101

Summary: The cover picture looks like.............
Comment: ....a vulnerable little girl. [Nice feet]. But the musical performance is a strong as anyone could want. Once again, Diana is giving us well known standards in a manner that is pure perfection. Her vocal and piano genius are well augmented by as fine a group of side-men as you will ever hear...Anthony Wilson is a genius in his own right.
The specific numbers need no introduction....the connection with her audience was fabulous...the technical aspects are all way above standard. Diana Krall is a gift from God, a pure delight. Am I smitten? Of course. Grab this fabulous video, and see why.

Summary: Casual version of Live in Paris
Comment: I have bought this for half an year, then put it into my DVD player.
I think that it must be worse than Live in Paris, but it is not.
They're different style, this made me feel so natural and more comfortable.
If you have already listened Jazz for more than 15 or 20 years, you may be not like her performance. It seems that her performance is suit for the younger people and is more easy listening. BTW, she is not look like a traditional jazz singer, but a pop/jazz singer more.

Summary: Video for the MTV generation
Comment: I attended this concert and the music was superb. However, the cameras were very intrusive (at one point a camera on an extended boom was about three inches from the keyboard. Whenever I tried watching the concert on the large screens I was distracted by the quick camera changes. If the video editing had been better, the DVD would have rated a 5. Foretunately I had a good seat stage right in the balcony and could see well without having to watch the screens too many times. I found the remote camera on a rail that was set up along the front of the screen almost as distracting as the two boom cameras set up on stage. Her songs with Elvis Costello were a pleasant surprise. If you want to hear the music, buy the DVD and listen to the music, skip watching the video.
