Customer Reviews:
WOW! Can't wait for this one!.......2007-09-15
I've been waiting to see these shows for, well, forever! Up until now the only way to see these performances was on bootleg video (although I believe the CMT Network ran some of these at one time)and YouTube. This is some amazing music from a man who simply loved playing good music. And good musicians, young and old, black and white. It's a shame it lasted barely 2 years. But it's a blessing that someone had the smarts to preserve these wonderful shows. This will be worth it for the Clapton and Dylan footage. There is precious little performance footage of his tenure with Derek and the Dominos, and here he really shines. You can tell by his face how amazed he is to be onstage jamming with both Cash and Carl Perkins. I've never seen Dylan's performance but this was (arguably) his first ever live tv performance, he'd been out of the spotlight since his 1966 motorcycle accident and gone back to his folky roots while the rest of the world turned up the volume. So this is prime Dylan with one of his idols. As well as seeing CCR at their peak. The Neil Young footage can also be seen on the special edition of his "Live at Massey Hall" CD. Can't wait!
Great collection of hippie-era country and pop.......2007-09-09
This two-disc set collects highlights of Johnny Cash's short-lived musical variety show, which aired on network TV between 1969-71. At the peak of the hippies-vs.-straights culture clash, Cash boldly invited guests from across the American musical spectrum -- longhairs, country traditionalists, Nashville insiders, jazz musician, rock stars, pop tunesmiths and folkies. The guest list is truly astonishing, given the tensions of the times. Bob Dylan -- one of Cash's favorite artists -- was on the first show in '69, tipping viewers off that this wasn't gonna be your typical country TV show. Appearances by Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Wonder and John Fogerty followed, as well as master entertainers such as Louis Armstrong and Ray Charles. And of course, there was the cream of the country crop -- Waylon Jennings, Ray Price, Marty Robbins, George Jones, Loretta Lynn and Johnny's crew from his road show -- June Carter Cash & the Carter Family, the Statler Brothers, Carl Perkins and others. In the wings were some amazing sidemen: keep an eye out for Norman Blake plucking acoustic guitar, as well as the wealth of up-and-coming talent that Cash went out of his way to promote (notably Kris Kristofferson, who reminisces about the old shows in interview segments added in this DVD set...)
This is a great collection, generously programmed (the set list on the Menu goes on for page after page...) and many of the performances are pure gold (George Jones is awesome!) Some fans will complain that they'd rather see the original shows as broadcast at the time, and while I agree that that would be fun, I don't see any reason to give anything but praise to this set. The documentary format, with various Cash crew and compatriots interviewed and introducing different segments, is kinda cool, and for the most part they know when to get out of the way and let the music play. It's a pity they didn't shoot the whole TV show on film -- some of the video stock gets kinda flared out (the Dylan clips, in particular) but, hey -- that's history for you. Personally, I'm glad to see whatever stuff like this there is -- it's a great look back at an interesting cultural moment, when mainstream country was still pretty traditional, although the walls were starting to fall and new influences were coming into play. Cash fans and country fans alike will want to check this one out! (DJ Joe Sixpack)
Here We Go Again.......2007-08-23
I'm so tired of these "Best Of" compilations. I've been waiting almost 40 years to see these shows and, once again, they get chopped up. Why can't somebody (finally) get it right and issue complete variety series in there entirety? Geez, it only lasted two years! You could probably fit every episode in one or two boxed sets with double-sided DVDs, which so many companies do nowadays. Instead, we get all complete seasons of Friends when all one needs to do is turn on the TV at any given time of the day and see the same episodes in syndication - as bad as seeing I Love Lucy continuously until we have the complete dialogs memorized! Shame on you Columbia/Legacy for doing this. It's like a teaser of something we'll never have. This may be the "best" for you but not for me and, therefore, I will not be purchasing it.

OUTSTANDING TELEVISION!.......2007-08-08
I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who just appreciates good music. I caught a sneak preview of this amazing disc on my local PBS station in August of 2007, and it was one of the greatest things I had seen on television in a long time. Johnny Cash's prime time televion show aired from 1969 - 1971, and featured both prominent rock and country artists of the day. Groundbreaking television for sure, considering at the time that most rock artists were associated with the peace, drugs, free love and the anti-war movement by a conservative segment of American society, just when the war was really starting to sour. Filmed live at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee (with a few exceptions), in front of a mostly Southern country music audience, all the artists seemed to be warmly embraced by the crowd, with Johnny Cash's blessing and support. The first hour consisted of rock and popular music performers that Johnny Cash was an admirer or fan of, including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Neil Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Neil Diamond, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. The highlight was Derek and the Dominoes featuring Eric Clapton, and following their performance none other than Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash himself joined Derek and the Dominoes onstage for a raucous version of Perkins' Matchbox. Simply amazing.
The second half was Johnny himself performing solo, with his wife June Carter Cash, and with the Tennessee Three. Prominent country artists also featured were George Jones, Tammy Wynette, a young, short-haired and beardless Hank Williams Jr., young Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, and Charley Pride (possibly the only black country artist ever). These are only the performances shown on the PBS special preview. There were literally hundreds of great performances on this show over its two year run. There's no lip synching nonsense here. Every artist actually performing and singing live. This is priceless television and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of any of the artists I mentioned. You will not be disappointed. It won't be available until September of 2007, and I will most definitely be purchasing it.

The title is no misnomer: this is indeed the Best of Lyle Lovett Live (circa the mid-'90s, anyway), which means that it's very good indeed. Though he's probably still mainly known to celebrity watchers for the couple of years he spent as Mr. Julia Roberts, or perhaps for his roles in films like The Player and The Opposite of Sex, the Texas-born Lovett has been an exceptional musician for the better part of two decades, and this 70-minute performance, recorded in San Antonio in '96, offers ample evidence. Lovett's "Large Band," as it's known, is adept at almost any style--a good thing, too, as here they take on everything from Basie-esque big band jazz ("Blues Walk") and R&B ("I Know You Know I'm So in Love with You" sounds like something from the Bobby "Blue" Bland catalogue, while "Here I Am" is a genuine soul stomper) to western swing (the irresistible "That's Right You're Not from Texas"), country ("Closing Time"), and gospel ("Church"). Moreover, all of this impeccable musicianship is in the service of some terrific songs. While his influences are apparent, Lovett's material is sui generis; few others would even think about writing "a cheating song about Mexican food" ("Nobody Knows Me Like My Baby"), let alone lines like "penguins are so sensitive to my needs" ("Penguins"). With his droll, laconic lyrics matched by his wry stage presence, not to mention the ability to attract duet partners like Rickie Lee Jones (on the haunting "North Dakota"), Lovett is a major talent who has too often been under-appreciated, a circumstance that this beautifully recorded performance should help rectify. The DVD has no bonus features. --Sam Graham
Description
Lyle's talent for incisively witty lyrical detail with an eclectic array of music, ranging from country and folk, to big-band swing and traditional pop has earned him three Grammy's over the years. Now for the first time ever, a collection of his best music spanning over two decades is available on one DVD. Recorded at the Majestic Theatre in Houston, Texas "Best of Lyle Lovett - Live" captures the essence of this great performer.
Customer Reviews:
For the Lyle Lovett fan.......2007-09-07
If you love Lyle, you'll love this DVD! The big band is absolutely amazing! His voice compares to no other and his band compliments him perfectly. You must sit down and really watch and listen to every moment.
It's about damn time........2007-08-04
For those of you who bought Lyle Lovett's 1999 "Live in Texas" CD and wondered to yourself "Wow this is such a great performance, I wish they would have put it out on DVD". Well I'm pretty sure that this is it. A lot of the performances that were on "Live in Texas" appear here on this DVD...eight years later. The versions of "You Can't Resist it", and "North Dakota" are completely Identical to the versions on "Live in Texas". At a reasonable price of under $15.00, I cannot think of a better recommendation to Lyle fans. As for curious people who have yet to discover Lyle's music, this is a very good summary. The Large Band is very tight, there is not a missed note played. Plus Rickie Lee Jones' accompanying vocals on "North Dakota", is breathtaking. This is a good one to grab.
Customer Reviews:
A warm, not strident, call to join...........2007-07-07
John's songs are a treasure, but so is his friendly, inclusive call to join him in passionate causes. It is wonderful to hear him talk about what inspired the eloquent messages he put in his music, from issues in his life to nature's beauty. A Song's Best Friend is a short but inspiring blend of music and commentary that displays John's huge impact on our social conscience.
An impressive tribute to a music icon.......2007-07-07
John Denver and his music were a big part of my life growing up, so I remember him with a great deal of nostalgia. But this documentary goes beyond nostalgic reminiscing, since it also allows you to appreciate the enormity of John's contribution to the world of popular music--and to the world itself. It is a celebration of his life and his talent, and honors him without getting overly sentimental or sensationalistic. The DVD is a must for any John Denver fan, and is definitely one you'll watch more than once. It's that good.
A Song's Best Friend - John Denver Remembered.......2007-06-11
DVD received promptly and in good condition. Enjoyed hearing more about John Denver who is my all-time favorite male singer. When I listen to his
music, it takes me back in time to the 70's.

A Song's Best Friend.......2007-04-11
Anything John goes good for me! He was a remarkable human..too bad we don't have more of him!
A summary of a career.......2007-03-26
If you love John Denver or have forgotten how much you once loved him, this is the DVD for you. A PBS special that has gone to disc. FABULOUS music, great interviews and show snippets. Really a great remembrance of a great singer, songwriter and performer. He is really missed.

Brilliant.......2007-08-18
This is one of the best music specials ever made. I remember watching on TV when it was first shown and recorded and watched it over and over and over. Below are the tracks and featured artists:
Boppin' the Blues (Carl Perkins)
Put Your Cat Clothes On (Perkins)
Honey Don't (Ringo Starr)
Matchbox (Eric Clapton)
Mean Woman Blues (Eric Clapton)
Turn Around (Carl Perkins)
Going to Jackson (Rosanne Cash)
What Kind of Girl (Cash)
Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby (George Harrison)
Your True Love (Perkins/Harrison/Edmunds)
The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise (Perkins)
Medley: (All)
Thats Alright Mama
Blue Moon of Kentucky
Night Train to Memphis
Glad all Over (All)
Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On (All)
Gone All Down The Line (All)
Blue Suede Shoes (All) & Encore
To pick highlights is very difficult because its all great. But for me the rare appearance of George Harrison is an absolute treat. Eric Clapton plays some truly blistering guitar solos, that put all the other guitar players into the shade, and Carl Perkins admits as much himself.
However it is Carl Perkins who is the star of the show and its great to see him in prime form. My only reservation is the picture quality which is OK but could be a lot better.
If you like 50's Rock 'n' Roll and a hint of country than this is an absolutely essential purchase.

Carl Perkins' Finest Hour...One of the Greatest Rock n' Roll shows ever filmed!!.......2007-03-03
I've had the VHS version of this classic rockabilly special for years, and the sound and picture quality are just fine. I'm wondering if this particular DVD is a newly remastered version of this show since the original DVD released in 2002 has many reviewers complaining about poor sound quality.
The legendary Carl Perkins is one of the often overlooked singer-songwriter-guitar players of early rock n' roll who had one big hit in the 1950's before a car crash stopped the momentum of his career right as it was taking off. He never achieved the popularity or recognition that his peers Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, and Elvis achieved. This rockin' performance clearly shows he was in the same talent league as his better-known contemporaries. Recorded in London in October of 1985, this priceless concert is Carl Perkins' finest hour! At 54 years old, Carl's musical powers were at an all-time high in this show. His country-rock vocal delivery and trademark rockabilly guitar licks are more potent here than they were in his younger days.
Few concert videos capture the sheer joy of playing music on stage like this show does. When I saw this for the first time over ten years ago, I was blown away by the joy and spirit of the music that literally jumps off the screen until you find yourself watching it over and over. The music here, wonderfully directed by Dave Edmonds, is quite simply as good as rock n' roll gets. The musicians did a great job of recreating Perkins' classic songs in their original arrangements while making them rock like never before. When all is said and done, this masterpiece should be hailed as one of the greatest rock n' roll shows ever captured on film!
The real beauty of this concert is the almost magical effect that Carl's presence had on all his famous guests. George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Dave Edmunds, and Roseanne Cash give some of the best performances of their careers as Carl's spirit and enthusiasm brings out the best in everybody on the stage! George and Ringo have never sounded better, and seem more inspired here than they were with the Beatles. Ringo's drumming is rock steady, and Harrison shines like never before as he shows just how well he could play rockabilly guitar.
Eric Clapton's segment is dynamite as we watch him unleash some of the hottest solos he has ever played. Clapton TEARS IT UP on guitar during "Mean Woman Blues", and Carl's amazed reaction to Eric is priceless! Watch closely for a great moment during "Matchbox" when Carl jumps back in disbelief while watching Eric rip into his first solo. I love it!!
This show is pure joy from start to finish, but the best is saved for last with a truly FANTASTIC performance of "Blue Suede Shoes" that is nothing more than rock n' roll at its joyful best!! Anybody who still associates this song with Elvis needs to hear Perkins tear into it with his heart and soul in this performance. It is worth the price of the DVD alone to see Carl and his friends rock their hearts out with the audience dancing all over the place. George Harrison is so caught up in the music that he suddenly leads the band into a rousing encore of the song. Dave Edmonds sums up the electricity of the moment as he turns to Carl and shouts "ROCK IT MAN!"
The most touching moment comes after the music has ended when Perkins is moved to tears of joy while giving a heartfelt thank you to everyone there. The warmth and sincerity of the man is truly admirable as he showers each and every guest with kind words of praise throughout the show.
The music world lost a fine musician and human being when Carl Perkins passed away in 1998. This unforgettable show will stand as a great tribute to his spirit, music, influence, and talent. If you love Roy Orbison's "Black and White Night", Chuck Berry's "Hail Hail Rock n' Roll", or just good-time rock n' roll at its best, this DVD is a MUST-HAVE for your collection!
Rock Your Blue Suede Shoes Or Your Beatle Boots Off.......2007-02-05
As an inveterate, avid, intense Beatle fan, I was thoroughly delighted with this dvd! Hats off to Carl Perkins not only for being a driving force during the inception of Rock & Roll, but for influencing George Harrison! George Harrison ROCKED! He tore the place up with his guitar playing! If you think he sounded phenomenal on this dvd, be sure to listen to "Beatles Live at the BBC" and George's guitar playing sets the place on fire! Check him out on "Youngblood!"
Although the transfer ain't great, the music and the artists are. Ringo keeps a steady beat and his former bandmate, the nonpareil George Harrison will have you rockin' your blue suede shoes or your Beatle boots off! His revival of his 1965 cover of "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby" brought many smiles to many faces. Gear up that 1963 Ford Falcon and take a trip to 1965 with George!
If you love Rock & Roll, the Blues and some EXCEPTIONAL guitar playing, this is the dvd for you. It is just plain fun and you will find yourself singing along with it and don't be surprised if you find you've started dancing!
VERY ENTERTAINING.......2007-01-04
THIS WAS A VERY GOOD DVD, WELL WORTH THE MONEY AND THE TIME WATCHING IT; WISH IT HAD BEEN LONGER!! GEORGE WAS THE BEST.

Customer Reviews:
oxymoronic!.......2007-09-10
caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). the title is misleading, because this loser has NEVER given a great performance, save for the starclub gig, from any decade. and yes, i've watched enough footage on him to back that up. the most overrated artist in music history.
A long overdue DVD for fans of The Killer!.......2007-08-12
This is the DVD that diehard Jerry Lee Lewis fans have been waiting many years for! Lewis will go down in history as one of the most flamboyant live performers in American music and the classic performances here are the proof you need. After all these years there still isn't very many Lewis videos to choose from, and until now there has been very little live footage available of the Killer in his prime. This DVD solves that problem with three different TV appearances from the 50's, a great appearance on British television from 1964, and two appearances from the 70's during Jerry Lee's period as a country music star.
Jerry Lee's historic television debut on the Steve Allen show in 1957 has to rank among the most wild and crazy performances in American television as he tears into "Whole lotta shakin goin on" like a madman! The Killer storms through the song with manic intensity, kicking back the piano bench and shouting the lyrics into the microphone as he pounds the piano keys with fury! This performance makes other 50's rockers like Elvis and Chuck Berry look tame in comparison. You can only imagine the horrified reaction of parents as they watched this performance in their living rooms in 1957!
Jerry Lee's performance of "Breathless" on the Dick Clark show is another example of Lewis at his flamboyant best, but the original recordings of "Great balls of fire" and "You win again" were overdubbed in the footage from the Dewey Phillips show which is the only real disappointment of the DVD.
Next we have a priceless, sensational British television performance from 1964 that is even more outrageous than the TV appearances from the 50's! This is possibly the greatest footage we will ever see of a young Jerry Lee Lewis tearing it up in his absolute prime. The Killer is UNLEASHED in all his wild, flamboyant glory as he rocks his way through a set of six tunes before an audience of fired up British teenagers who are gathered around the piano in a wild frenzy. The final explosive performance of "Whole lotta shakin" has the crowd of teens going crazy with excitement as Jerry Lee stands on top of the piano and tears the place apart!! This footage is a must-see for any lover of classic rock n' roll. It is a mystery why this electrifying performance was left unissued to the public for over 40 years and it is worth the price of this DVD alone.
At the time this performance was taped in March of 64, Jerry Lee was sadly boycotted from every radio and television station in America as "Beatlemania" was taking over the country. It is fascinating to see Jerry Lee having the exact same effect on a teenaged audience in England that the Beatles were having here in America. Jerry Lee proves without a doubt in this performance that nobody was rocking harder or better in 1964 than the Killer. Beatlemania might have been taking America by storm, but over in England it was "KILLERMANIA" exploding across TV screens!
The next two television appearances from Ralph Emery's show are much more tame and laid back. Jerry Lee had left the rock n' roll world to become a successful country star in the late 60's and 70's and he performs the great tunes "Who's gonna play this old piano" and Kris Kristofferson's classic song "Me and Bobby McGee". We also get some nice footage of Jerry Lee and his piano playing cousin Mickey Gilley who was also a popular country star at the time. Ralph Emery gives them a brief interview and lets them cut loose on a medley of old tunes including Jerry Lee's great rocker "Drinkin wine spo-dee-o-dee". The Killer's influence on his cousin can be clearly seen here as Gilley sounds a lot like Jerry Lee in both his singing and piano playing.
As a bonus feature we get a rare and excellent interview with Jerry Lee from 1993 where he talks about his early years, moments with Elvis, and more. If you are a long-time Lewis fan or a younger fan like myself who wants to explore the legendary pioneers of rock n' roll, this fine DVD belongs in your collection.
the killer in all his glory.......2007-07-14
any chance to see this artist in the first 3 decades of his career is a real treat. The performance on the 60s Granada program from Great Britain reminds me of the Live at The Star Club performance in Germany; it has to be seen to be believed. Would have given this 5 stars but the lip-synching in the 50s segment made that difficult. I agree with the reviewer who ranked Jerry Lee as the premier rocker from the 50s although we shouldnt forget Fats Domino. Dont miss the Live From Austin City dvd by Jerry Lee that was just released.
The First and Last Rock and Roller.......2007-06-27
While the performances are few, the 1964 London Granada set captured here are easily worth the price of the DVD. Jerry shows there that he really was at the heart of R&R in a way that Presley never approached.
Essential.......2007-06-13
Ok this is a great DVD with some great performances and a interview from Jerry Lee in 1993 at Sun records.Plenty of highlights best for me is Lewis boogie in the section with Jerry Lee's cousin Mickey Gilley who was a country superstar at the time.It is interesting to see the different years including the first Steve Allen performance of Whole lotta shakin'.The quality is as good as you can get from I guess the sources they used with some Jerry Lee fan's on forums saying they could have used the master of the 1964 Granada show.If you want to see a discussion on that there is one on the new Jerry Lee Lewis forum.I can't put a link here but if you go to Wikipedia Jerry Lee Lewis page there is a link there.You can see some screenshots of this DVD taken from my pc on that forum.I would have given this 5 out of 5 but although it is interesting to see the Duey Phillips show it is lip synched (one of the few times JLL has done that) so I would have preferred to see another late sixties performance instead.I would recommend this DVD as it is great to see one of the greatest performers in action especially if you have not been able to see his first performance on tv or just like to see the Killer at work!

Customer Reviews:
Need this one for your collection!.......2007-05-16
When reading the reviews, you can tell that the majority of them are Marty Robbins's fans. What about those of you out there who have never heard of him? He was the first country music artist to receive an acadamy award for his Country-Pop hit for "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife". He was a songwriter, actor, book-writer and music artist. Marty died in December, 1982. He was ahead of his time in writing and recording songs. I would strongly recommend that you hear examples of some of his songs that are available with various CD's for sale on Amazon. You will find out - he was truly a great artist & very versitile in the different forms of music. His last hit was a song called "Some memories just won't die". This is fitting. When you hear him sing (even for the first time) - you will be amazed. You will discover that his music plus the memories of fans who watched him perform while he was alive "just won't die" as well. You might be surprised - for you might find out it will be the same for you after watching this program. For those who are collector's of Marty Robbins - This is a must!
What a treasure!.......2007-05-12
We are so fortunate to have these old films of Marty singing his songs and I am so glad that I ordered it. Marty was one of a kind and there will never been another one like him. No one has a voice like his! He always sang his songs with such ease, and had a big voice for such a small man.
Definitive anthology from a prodigiously talented man.......2007-04-25
One of the real tragedies in music was Marty Robbins' early death in 1982. He - and we - never got to savor what might have been a career autumn, where he might have had a chance to deepen further an artistry, that, taken in hindsight, was mind-boggling in its wide range of styles. A country boy at heart, he always kept the base of his music there, but he showed how thoroughly adept he could be at Hawaiian, jazz, reggae, rock n' roll of course, gospel, and just plain old pop. He could do honky-tonk authentically. And he was the true master of the gunfighter and trail songs. The word here is versatile - to the gills!
Robbins had an astonishing vocal range, which could encompass deep, brooding lows to the sweetest tenor falsetto imaginable; take a listen here to the tropically-infused "Ka-lu-a," which is sung with real tenderness, and the upward switches into falsetto is masterfully done, e with a sound that can be metaphorically described as a golden ribbon of honey.
What's so rewarding about this collection, is that it shows his evolution through probably nearly thirty years of performing. It is fortuitous that so many video-documented performances survive. We see Marty from the clean-cut 1950s boy to the mustachoied hipster look of the 1970s. The voice remained intact throughout (his intonation and diction are both models of impeccable musicality), and his identification with the lyrics more deeply personal as time marched on. His rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" is poignant, moving, and you get a great sense of melancholy, almost as if he knew his time was getting shorter. Elsewhere, we get his classic rendition of "Singing the Blues," which , when you compare it to Guy Mitchell's monster-seller, shows Marty to have the much better vocal production and is livelier in expression. We also get all his signature tunes, such as "A White Sport Coat," "El Paso," "Don't Worry," "Ruby Ann," "Devil Woman," "My Woman, My Wife," among so many others, encompassing all his styles. We also get some bonus clips, from what appear to be some rare, early kinescopes.
What makes this release different from his commercial audio versions of these songs is the joy of seeing Marty perform these songs. A born performer, you see the music just oozing out from his pores. Though he displays an involvement and energy consistently, giving his all, he is so at ease and relaxed being a showman, you get the feeling that it was his natural metier.
We also get some thoughtful commentaries in between songs by Merle Haggard, Barbara Mandrell, and Robbins' son, among others, and the love all of them show is palpable.
Watching this produces a bittersweet feeling. Marty should have had so many more years, yet, he left no short measure of his prodigious talents. Here's to one of the true kings of music; long may his art endure.
great music and memories.......2007-01-17
I saw this show on PBS and loved it. Marty Robbins is an artist for all seasons.
Fantastic gift for Mom.......2007-01-15
My Mom LOVES this DVD. She has always been a huge Marty Robbins fan. When we put this in the player she oohed and ahhed at the start of every song and love all of the commentary. She even stopped it occassionally to add her own commentary, too. A must have for true Marty Robbins fans!

Nothing encourages one to ignore those silly contradictions in Shania Twain's music (is she country? is she pop?) like a collection of her highly playful videos. The Platinum Collection rolls right over boundaries of tradition and genre with its concentration of imaginative, often surprising visuals. "The Woman in Me," for instance, is set among Egypt's pyramids, while "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" finds a stunning Twain fronting a band of mindless hunks in a funny reversal of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" video. "You're Still the One," easily one of Twain's most affecting songs, still holds up as a softly erotic short film. Even Twain's more prosaic videos (the go-kart mania of "You Win My Love") bear repeat viewing, but it's her heck-with-it aesthetic that leads to such unexpected sights as Irish step dancing in "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)." Then, of course, there are those hot pants in "Rock This Country!" Long may Shania wave. --Tom Keogh

Interesting view at Shania's development as a singer.......2007-08-01
I can't say that I am a big fan of her early work, though there are some good songs in there. However for a true Shania fan this is a must have because you can clearly see not only costume changes but even how she sings a song. It is like watching a kid grow up but in roughly an hour+. If you are only interested in her later work, the concert at Chicago would be a better dvd for you. I have both and like them for different reasons. Overall a good piece of work, with my only regret being that eventually there will have to be a "Platinum 2", and likely there will be duplications on the second one. Minor, but still it would be nice if music and movies did not re-hash themselves just to make even more money.
Shania Twain Platinum Collection DVD.......2007-07-06
This is a great DVD - Shania Twain is awesome. I actually thought I ordered the CD but I accidentally ordered the DVD what a PLEASANT surprise. I highly recommend this DVD!!!
Up Up Up.......2006-11-10
Great Collection! This really showcases Shania's different styles of video. A fun DVD. "From This Moment" is my husband's and my favorite!
Barbi Doll.......2006-04-02
I don't really like video collections. Live music is so much more interesting. The only exception I can think of to that rule is the video collection by Tom Petty, because he put out the most imaginative and well produced videos.
I'd much rather see Shania actually singing and relating to an audience than lipping it to these recorded songs. The only songs on this vid that are live are the last two, and one of them is the boring Rock This Country, one of her weakest songs, a sort of takeoff on Donnie and Marie's I'm A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock and Roll.
It's mostly all glitz and glitter. It's mostly just seeing the latest outfit and makeup Shania is wearing. That is superficial. Let's have a real person instead. I don't care about the outfits and the makeup. Seeing her pretend to sing just doesn't cut it. I've heard these exact versions of the songs plenty of times. Come On Over is a fantastic album.
She looks great, particularly in her Hawaiian look during the romantic You've Got A Way. I love that song and I love her Hawaiian look. It's all so romantic. I'm not wild about her look when she's wearing slacks or sweat pants. It makes the bottom half of her look so ordinary and boring. She looks so much better in something feminine. Sporty Spice is not a turn on and is not romantic.
If you want to turn it up a notch in your music videos, pick up somebody's live performance. It's a whole different feeling. Granted, some of them aren't the greatest, but when they are good, they are a lot better than this. You actually see a real person on stage. Not just Barbi Doll in her newest outfit and makeup.
Her music videos, part 1.......2006-03-21
Her most recent hits are NOT included in this collection. This package covers up to "Come On Over"... and includes most of her hits from the 90s and early 00s. This is, though, an interesting look at how a superstar made the transition from country bumpkin' to international "don't-peg-me-as-country-anything-my-image-is-universal" pop star. The package starts with Shania's country roots as she sings her earliest hits and looks more like a Loretta Lynn-wannabe than the Sporty Spice clone her handlers transformed her into when "Come On Over" launched her into superstar territory. It also shows how flashy music videos progressed over the past 15 years. Unless you're a diehard Shania fan from her early years, you'll only be watching the second half of this collection. There's even a couple of live concerts clips to break up her later videos, which have lots to do with "artsy" and little to do with the lyrics. If you're into close-ups of her piercing eyes and high cheekbones, you won't be disappointed. She's one of the most photogenic singer/songwriters this hemisphere has offered in decades... and some of the songs are catchy, too.

This stunning performance was recorded live at the Church Street Station Theatre in Orlando, Florida. Here Gene Watson, a real singer's singer, puts on one of his trademark breath-taking performances. The world stops spinning when he sings, marvels Robert K. Oermann, the dean of country critics. In his voice is all the ache of existence. In 1974, when Watsons steamy single Love In The Hot Afternoon made the Top 10 it ignited a firestorm of hits including Farewell Party, Fourteen Carat Mind and Speak Softly Youre Talking To My Heart - all of which are included on this DVD! He will always hold a special place in the hearts of country-music lovers around the world.

Country Music's Finest Voice!.......2007-09-16
This DVD is absolutely awesome! I have only one complaint...it was not long enough! It is a live show of Gene Watson done several years ago when he was a lot younger but his voice is uncomparable. It has been said that he is a singer's singer. The other country stars envy him and love to hear him sing too!
