 From my posting on darwilliams.net:

I just got the new DVD and am listening to it as I write. To be honest 
it's much better than I was expecting from the preview video that's up 
online. It's nice to see her live in concert as it's been almost two 
years since I've been to an actual Dar concert. It's essentially in two 
parts: part one Dar solo and the second part with the backup band of 
guitar (Ben Butler), bass (Mike Visceglia), and drums  (Steve Holley). 
The track list is noted below and is a collection of her most popular 
songs plus the new Easy Way and an unreleased (to now) cover of the 
Grateful Dead's Ripple. I can't really attest to the quality of the 
sound as I don't have it hooked up to my sound system but the picture 
is good and clear and the mix is easy to listen to (ie; you can hear 
Dar clearly above the music). Weirdly, there seem to be a lot of middle 
age dudes in the audience (I don't know why I noticed that but there it 
is).  So nothing spectacular or overwhelming but a nice, solid Dar 
performance and a decent stopgap measure for those who haven't been or 
won't be able to get to a concert in while. My cat Bello was enraptured 
by the Ocean, he just sat there watching it with rapt attention and 
when it was over he was done . . . It is also nice to have a few new 
things to listen to. (You can pre-order it for US$14.95 from 
MusicSpace.com

Hope to see some of your dar-lings again soon,
Oh Canada Gail
