Tour of Alaska.......2007-08-12
It's a great dvd if you're interested in a tour of Alaska and acoustic songs of the Goo Goo Dolls. Very nice pictures of Alaska, its people and countryside, but limited hard driving music. A lot of interviews, meeting of different group members and Alaskan residents. Just beware it's more of a tour guide and pictures than a concert of the Goo Goo Dolls.
Breathtaking!.......2007-05-30
Any fan (casual or die hard) will enjoy this collection of great songs coupled with amazing shots of Alaska. The Dolls seem to really be enjoying themselves, especially Robbie, and you can tell how well it translates into the music. My faves include: the iceberg, the high jump with the locals and Johnny jokingly complaining about the non-smoking bars. I also have the Alanis in the Navajo disc, but this is visually more exciting.
Goo Goo Dolls "Unplugged" in Alaska.......2007-05-26
Goo Goo Dolls - Live in Alaska (Music in High Places Series)
What a hidden little gem of a video. This is so awesome. The scenery is breathtaking and the music
is beautiful. It's great to see the band interact with the locals.....mud sliding with the children, sledding with the dogs, and just plain having fun. John is correct, he does have an awesome job being able to play his guitar on top of a 12 foot chuck of ice. If you are a true GGD fan, RUN, don't walk to get this one. It's worth every penny! Enjoy!
Just great!.......2007-04-28
Fix the writeup on this title please. It isn't Wynonna Judd, it's the Goo Goo Dolls!
Anyway, I bought the Live in Buffalo CD/DVD and fell in love with the Goo Goo Dolls. My wife got me this DVD (my first Music in High Places title). It's a combination of a music DVD and a travel show. The scenery in Alaska is just great and I love the stripped down versions of the songs, especially the drummer just using a shaker and a tamborine on several of the songs.
Make sure you watch it all the way through for the "making of" type stuff and the "music only" selection. You get an extra two songs that way!
Mud Sliding?.......2006-08-03
Not a bad video. The music was pretty good, Goo Goo Dolls sound pretty much the same "live" as they do on their albums...except John R. is a bit flat at certion places. Be sure to watch the "Just Music" portion, the scenery is some of the more awe inspiring for the whole show.
I enjoyed the views of Alaska, and the moutains from the train bit, were beautiful! The "interviews" with the guys were lacking something, John R. is not exactly articulate. But wait till the end, when the "behind the scenes" crew video is shown. That is funny!
And one last note; It was nice how the guys were playing with the local kids. They go "mud sliding", and then interview some of the kids. And it is too cute how the little kids are glowing about; "...I can't believe I went mud sliding with the Goo Goo Dolls!!!!!!!!!" -Mud sliding for those of you out there who haven't seen the video, is exactly what it sounds like.
Anyway, an all around fun watch. If you like "Music in High Places" this would be one to add to the collection!
Average customer rating:
- Great stripped-down music

Great stripped-down music.......2007-07-09
Full disclosure: Huge Ryan Adams fan. He can't do much wrong in my eyes so this review may be somewhat jaded (but then, what reviews aren't?). There are a few annoyances to it as it's not really fun watching stoned people stumble around Jamaica and the commercial bumpers should have been removed for the DVD. He does act a little goofy but not malevolent as some of his detractors would have you believe. The saving grace is that you can select "just the music" from the extras menu. This is definitely the way to go. It was a whole different experience when I chose this option on the second viewing. The tunes, mostly culled from Heartbreaker and Gold, sound great purely acoustic and it's fun watching him enlist the help of local children to sing back up on "Touch, Feel and Lose". For the price, if you're an Adams fan, you can't go wrong with this DVD.
Incredible performance.......2007-02-07
This is a great performance by Ryan Adams in some beautiful places in Jamaica. (I think someone needs to check the description. Wynonna is not on this DVD, but most people get that from the title)
Must have for any Ryan Adams fan..........2006-11-22
Remember MTV Unplugged, where artists did their stuff with acoustic instruments? Well, this film reminds me of that crossed with a travelogue. It is absolutely wonderful to see Ryan just jammin' and having fun... and his little side trips through Jamaica are a trip.
A definate must-have for any true Ryan Adams fan... And I think this DVD would be a great introduction to Ryan's music for some of my friends as well!
Highly reccomended.......2006-11-05
This is an amazing DVD. Ryan Adams of course, as always, is really good in this DVD, great songs and fun to watch!!
Ryan Adams followers will appreciate this disc.......2006-03-04
If you are interested in both the music and persona of Ryan Adams you will appreciate this dvd. Anyone who has ever visited Jamaica will find it all the more entertaining. Several of the past reviewers have already commented on the musical highlights (which were masterfully captured) but for me the most enjoyable aspect of the production was being able to "walk with" the artist along this adventure. Great added features make this a must have for Ryan Adams fans. Amazing-Amazon's quick delivery had this at my door just in time for the weeekend.

Angie Stone is Amaaaaazing.......2006-03-20
Angie Stone rules and it's a shame she doesn't get the props she is due. Everytime I watch a live performance of her, I get more convinced that she will be classified as one of the greats of our era. This dvd is amazing, she sings all my faves and she sounds great on every song. For all Angie Stone fans, you need to get the Pure Sessions dvd, she really gave a funky performance in a small intimate setting. You'll feel like you were in the club. Everybody in the club looked like they were having a ball. Personally, I feel that other soul singers (jill Scott, Erykah Badu & Alicia Keys) cannot hold a candle to her. The only person that comes close is Jill Scott. Please support a true artist.
Great Performances!.......2003-12-20
Angie Stone rules. The performances on this dvd are excellent except for one : "P!$$3D OFF". You can't hear the 2 backup singers very well like you can on the other performances. It seems like if there was a problem with their microphones and wasn't noticed. The dvd is also a little disappointing because Angie didn't perform any songs from "Black Diamond"

Young Californian Joy Enriquez sings her heart out in exotic sites in Puerto Rico in this installment of the Music in High Places travel and music series. The 11-time Star Search winner performs with a small band in various settings, including atop a battlement of the historic El Morro fortress, inside an enormous cavern, and at an old sugar refinery. The photography is often striking, and Enriquez, who is attired in a succession of halter tops, wrap skirts, and sandals, comes across as an attractive young woman who is serious about her vocal abilities. While not singing, she acts like a typical tourist, marveling over the scenery and talking to the locals, and she demonstrates a self-effacing sense of humor. As a suitable finale, she attends a village celebration and steals the show with a lively rendition of one of her signature songs, "Shake Up the Party." --Robert J. McNamara

A true talented beauti.......2004-04-20
A Must See! - I was surfing the cable channels one day and came across this special with this beautiful talented young lady, I had never heard of before. She was touring Puerto Rico and every song she sang was better than the one before, every location was breathtaking, I was totally floored. Only accompanied by 3 or 4 acoustic guitars, but this music really moved me like no other artist had ever before. She is so talented and I hope she has a big career ahead of her. She is truly an inspiration to all Mexican-American young ladies. Needless to say, I was looking on-line to find her music and found this very DVD purchased it and can't wait to watch it and share it with friends and family. Best of luck Joy - you are an inspiration!!!
