Like Paul Carrack? Buy this!.......2004-05-11

I have been a Paul,Carrack fan for some time. I have not had (so far) the chance to see him perform live.

Paul Carrack fans sould be pretty stoked at the chance to see him on this DVD. While I agree with others who find it hard that no track from his CD "One Good Reason" is not covered on the DVD, there is no shortage of great material. He covers some of his Mike & the Mechanics tunes as well as "the best Squeeze song", Tempted.

"The Way I"m Feeling Tonight" and "Over My Shoulder" are the gems of this disc to me! He has an excellent band. Steve Beighton, who plays the sax, tears it up when he gets the chance.

If your are a even casual fan of Paul, you should add this to your DVD collection. Die hard Squeeze, Mike & the Mechanics, and Ace fans would probably like to have this too.

The sound is great.The band is tight. This is a "must have" if you are a Paul Carrack fan. There is also news of another DVD. If it isn't out already, his "It Ain't Over" tour DVD, will be out shortly.

"Paul Carrack in Concert" is worth the purchase.

I'd forgotten how good a singer he is!.......2003-12-13

Can't believe there are no songs from his 1987 album "One Good Reason", though.
Carrack performs a dozen and a half songs from his underappreciated career. Sound is DTS and is stellar. The concert production itself is somewhat small in scale, but the video experience does not suffer for that.
ONLY weak spot in the concert is when Carrack's 15 year-old back-up singer vamps a little bit during "How Long". Her vocal vamping just seems a bit too derivative of how young pop divas sound when trying to show off their "musicality". But that particular vamp phrase I am talking about here only lasts about 6 seconds, so maybe I'm getting too picky, huh?

Another reviewer here is right: this is good "background" concert music - music to play while you're doing other things. It is not exactly a showcase performance visually, but still worth listening to.

A solid product.......2003-08-21

The sound quality is great. Paul's voice is smooth as silk. The video image is good but at times amateurish. The song selection is good. Not too up-tempo, which should satisfy those like me who enjoy having concert DVDs as background but not the centerpiece of their living room. It does not compare to a Diana Krall Live in Paris in meeting that requirement, however.
I like when concert DVDs offer subtitles to follow the words, but this DVD does not offer them. But this is definitely a worthwhile purchase.
