 - 1 of top 10 DVDs ever recordedThis captures Sarah at the peak of her carrer so far. Every song an Enhancement of the studio versions. The sound is rich and full, every instrument clear and present. Wonderful performances by all band members. Standouts: Ashwin Sood on drums (her husband): Sean Ashby and Luke Doucet on guitars. And the voice! Sarah has a vocal and visual presence here to rival Billie Holiay (tho no connection musically).Superb production at stage and recorded levels. Copliment to the artist's music and moods. Sarah captures spititual highs and technical brilliance here. Subtle and powerful. Play the DVD thru a nice sound/video system and and feel like you are there. Those familiar with her music; nuff said. Those looking to discover a show of intense musicianship and message: look no further. Rating: - Awesome Concert DVD & CD comboSarah is a favorite of mine and I was thrilled to get to tune her piano & attend her Afterglow concert here in St. Paul two years ago, so this DVD was a great way to relive that FABULOUSLY AWESOME SHOW. The DVD also has nice extras like a backstage video/glimpse into Sarah's life, concert photos, etc. My only disappointment was the HORRENDOUS EDITING and frenetic camera work that detracted from her relatively smooth, seamless, and well-put together stage production. (Seems like it was done by a couple teenagers trying to make their first rock music video.) The concert was BEAUTIFUL, designed to move you & thrill you & blow you away, just from right there in your seat. The DVD didn't need any *dazzling* effects & transitions -- a few well-placed cameras would have served nicely. Despite the video crap, it's a wonderful performance. I like the CD, too. Slightly uptempo versions of great songs. (*^_^*) Rating: - great CD/DVD, especially for us fans who are not concert freaksIt's a great enjoyment watching Sarah performance on-stage, wish I had been there. Her band is great as always. The way she re-mixed her songs just makes you feel like you are listening to her songs for the very first time. The only complain I have is that it doesn't have two of Sarah's MUST-HAVE songs:Elsewhere, Full of Grace and Time. otherwise you could buy this CD as a gift to someone who haven't been in touch of Sarah's songs. Rating: - Amazing CD/DVD comboThis amazing CD/DVD set includes live tracks from Sarah's "Afterglow" tour in the Summer of 2004. The songs are from her Afterglow, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, and Surfacing albums. The cd has 15 tracks: Fallen, World On Fire, Adia, Hold On, Perfect Girl, Drifting, Push, Witness, Answer, Angel, Train Wreck, Building A Mystery, Sweet Surrender, Stupid, and Dirty Little Secret. The DVD has 23 tracks: Fallen, World On Fire, Adia, Hold On, Perfect Girl, Drifting, Push, I Will Remember You, Ice, Wait, Witness, Answer, Angel, Fear, Train Wreck, Building A Mystery, Sweet Surrender, Possession, Blackbird, Ice Cream, Stupid, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, and Dirty Little Secret. The DVD version rivals the studio version. Sarah's voice is stunning. I enjoyed the song Fallen so much. Everything from her voice, lyrics, and instrumentals is breathtaking. If you are a fan and like "live" albums this is a great one to own. The only downside is the CD/DVD are copy protected. Rating: - Excellent CD & DVD combo set - Excellent Concert!A good price for both a DVD and an audio CD. It's a fantastic concert for S. McLachlan fans with some different, more rock-like renditions of familiar songs. You won't be dissappointed!
