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
