2.0 out of 5 stars It's hard to quibble at this price BUT..., September 10, 2001

It's hard to quibble with this DVD at this low price but I will anyway. Overall it was disappointing. About half of the performances were lackluster at best and the sound quality on some (remember this is a showpiece for the medium) were underwhelming. I was particularly surprised at the distracting camera work on Billy Joel's number. I love everything Billy Joel but seeing him 'attacked' by multiple cameras was too much. The performances and audio from Stevie Ray Vaughn, Shawn Colvin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Tony Bennett were the better numbers. The overall best was Yo-Yo Ma's "1B". I have none of his music in my large CD collection but this piece was a visual and sonic standout.
If Sony wants to impress with DVD technology, I think they could do a lot better than this. Quibble, quibble.

4.0 out of 5 stars Backstage pass Concert Collection Volume 1, April 7, 2001

This DVD is excellent value for the price you pay. The pop and easy listening songs, and the majority of the DVD is this type, are all excellent. The rock songs aren't as good but they are watchable. This DVD is a good lead up to a movie or a family evening. If you like Irish music, Charlotte Church's, "Danny Boy" is superior and it alone would make this DVD one that you will play for years to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hey, it's a sampler, okay?, April 8, 2002

There a wide, make that VERY wide variety of musical styles represented here. It's a great way to sample over a dozen music DVDs to see if they fit what you like to watch. I was surprised how much I liked the touching "Annie's Song," and how subdued Tony Bennett seemed on "Moonglow." Anyway, it's a fun starter DVD, and the price is right.
