Customer Reviews:

not bad for what it is...........2007-09-04

I do understand the other reviewers complaint about this being a accustic DVD without really saying it on it anywhere. However, that does not make it a bad DVD. Although to be honest I have only listened to it twice and that should tell you something. I love accustic music, however, this show really does drag more than it should. I saw him live in St. Louis and the live performance was MUCH better. Worth a chance if you are a big fan -- otherwise spend your money on some of his CD's first.

Songwriting and musicianship at it's finest.......2005-11-15

If you're one of those Ian Moore fans who are stuck back in 1993 and can't get over the "guitar god" label that the media stuck on him while pigeon-holing him as the next SRV, then this is NOT the DVD for you. However, if you really enjoy excellent songwriting along with AMAZING vocal and guitar skills and appreciate musicians for their originality and true talent...then you'll enjoy this immensely. Having seen Ian many many times (both acoustically and with his band), I can say that this DVD is a showcase of his newer (and much better) songs, performed the way the should be...with minimal production, so that the rawness and true beauty of the music shines through. Highlights of the disc are Caroline, Sir Robert Scott, Running on Me, April, and Abilene.

Study the Luminaria album, then get this. .......2005-06-09

One star off for bad video quality. Nevertheless, it's a must for any fan of the album. See my review of Luminaria. Yet another example of the disgraceful paradox which is the American music industry: artists of this stature play small venues in relative obscurity while tripe earns millions.

very lame,puts you to sleep.......2005-03-14

Another great musician,that thinks we want to see and hear an accoustic set.I wanted a DVD of a concert band but got an egotistical,{I'm great by myself,its me they love},load of self indulgence.I've seen him "live" twice,and own all his cd's,but this DVD is a waste of his time and my money.The DVD is not clearly advertised as an accoustic set,so don't waste your money.

Almost as good as being there.......2003-10-05

For thoose of you lucky enough to see Ian in concert, we all know it is a event unequalled, for thoose who have not, you have not been lucky enought to see a master guitar player, song writter, story teller and entertainer. Ian Moore is one of the biggest enigma's in the music business. Somebody with more talent, drive and charisma than any major star in the past 10 years, but also somebody who refuses to play the Holywood game and give up his soul, vision and independance just for mainstream pop fame. This DVD shows a master at work. Somebody who is as driven for perfection as McCartney in the 60's but as friendly and engaging as Jagger at his best. While Moore's reputation is for big sound and blues rock, this DVD show his new direction as a songwritter ranging through multiple levels of emotion, direction and style in an small venue.... amply just a man, a guitar and an unbelievable voice. You judge what is best, the guitar, the voice or the songs... all wrapped up it should not be missed and unfortunatley the music industry and the majority of the radio listening world has.
