| Rating |  | | Date | October 19, 2004 | | Summary | Love Sheryl Crow -- Hate this Sound Mixing | Content
 | Lovely, highly talented, Sheryl Crow is a joy to listen to and look at while she's singing. However, if you are a highly sensitive audiophile, pass on this DVD. The sound mixing is an embarassment to any professional. Sub-standard doesn't describe the sound mixing on this DVD. It's so bad some instruments are barely audible, and Sheryl's voice is set at a lower level than the drums at times. Shame, shame.
For me, though, I got it at a six dollar price and it's worth it just to get to watch Sheryl do her thing (yeah, baby). |

| Most of the negative comments surrounding this DVD are valid, yet I decided to give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. Even though the sound mixing is substandard, Sheryl's performance is quite good. In addition, it's nice to have footage of Sheryl singing her lesser-known (but still high-quality) songs such as "Am I Getting Through" and "Riverwide." Customers should buy this DVD despite its flaws. |
| Rating | | | Date | September 12, 2003 | | Summary | Adequate performance, substandard sound | Content
| I wanted to add the DVD to my 5.1 surround sound collection of concerts because most of Crow's hits I liked. Although her performance is adequate enough, I didn't care for some of the less-well-known songs. Mainly, however, the sound mix is pretty bad. The stereo is weak, the Dolby Digital 5.1 is almost as bad as the stereo, with little definition. The DTS is almost adequate, but not quite. It is nowhere near as good as the James Taylor "Pull Over" DVD or the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" DVD. It's not even as good as the marginally acceptable Nora Jones "Live in New Orleans" DVD. But if you're a Sheryl Crow fan, go ahead and add this to your collection. You might be reasonably satisfied. |

| Bought this DVD Yesterday. I play it in Dolby Stereo, Sound is not that well mixed. That said it is very entertaining and you can solve this sound problem if you juggle the bass and treble dials a bit. If compared to "The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over", this is noway near as well balanced, but it really captures the "Sheryl Crow Live" experience. There are much better mixed DVD's, but this is far from a bad buy. Buy it, you will not regret it. |
| Rating | | | Date | July 07, 2003 | | Summary | Slightly disappointing | Content
| Maybe I had too high expectations, but this dvd doesn't do justice to what is like to see Sheryl Crow live. As some other people here have commented, the sound mix is lousy. Half of the time you can barely hear the guitar, but the violin is mixed far too high. I'm a fan of this woman and her music, but this dvd leaves you with a half-empty glass feeling. The performances are a little insipid. I sure had thanked some more fire into them. Sheryl Crow sounds a little tired, or is it the bad sound mix again? |
