Although this DVD hasn't been released, I know it will be worth every penny spent! I was at this concert...and as usual, not a disappointing moment! Edwin's CDs are incredible anyway but his live performances are incomparable...his ballads are moving, his upbeat songs get your feet tapping and his chemistry with his band is second to none! If you have never seen one of his live shows...buy this DVD and then log immediately on to his website (www.edwin.com) and find out where you can see him ASAP! His live performances, whether they are full band or partial, are experiences you never want to end!

I too was at that concert! It was such an intmate playing space and everyone was so excited. It's awesome to see that others who were there posted here on Amazon. It was a great way to end a vacation. I highly recommend this DVD, the performance of Gramercy Park Hotel, one of my favorite songs was just fun and the other ballads and songs were beautiful.
Buy this DVD and go find him live. Many bands don't understand the importance of live music, but these guys do! Enjoy

I know the DVD has not been released yet - but I attended the concert at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, SC when this DVD was recorded and WHAT AN AMAZING night of music!

Anyone who has ever listed to "I'll Be" has got to check out this DVD. Then RUN to your local CD store and purchase all of the Edwin McCain Band's albums. You will NOT be disappointed.

The Edwin McCain Band is so much more than a "ballad - band".

You will NOT be disappointed!

Edwin McCain is arguably the best lyricist and songwriter of the last decade. This DVD catches he and his band in a period of rebirth in their music. These are songs to capture your soul.

If you sort of like Edwin McCain, get this DVD, watch him live, and you will fall in love. He has such passion for his music that can only be seen, and felt during live performances. His amazing voice, is just as amazing live, and he and his band, can JAM!! The energy is high, and its a great time!
I had the priviledge of meeting him, and blubbered like an idiot, but he is just as cool a guy as he seems. He really appreciates his fan base, and understands how important it is for us to see him live. Im glad that finally, I can share with my friends who have never see Edwin live, what an amazing artist he really is!!!!

Once in a decade or so comes a talent this huge. That Edwin McCaine can write from such a world-weary perspective belies his age. Song after song, his words touch the heart, bringing forth tears of both joy and sadness. And that's just the lyrics.

The voice. How can it be that one so young can sing with so much soul? Song after song, delivering just the right emotion to drive his poetry home. The perfect balance of melody and driving soul.

Don't for a moment try to group Edwin's music in with the talentless, marketing packages that are so prevalent these days. His talent eclipses any 50 of these combined!

On to the DVD. I found this to be an excellent sampler of Edwin's music. His band consistently kicks out the songs, with nary a wrong note. Personal favorites are "Coming Down" and "Shooting Stars". The high point of the DVD is "Beautiful Life", in which Edwin's band cuts loose.

If I had anything to complain about, it would be that though every song is delivered impeccably, the band plays it all a little too safe for my tastes. the exception is the aforementioned "Beautiful Life" which shows what they're capable of. I only wished they'd stretched like that on a few more songs.

So, if you haven't hit the "Buy Now" button yet, go ahead and do it - you won't be sorry. While you're at it, pick out a few of his CD's. There's nary a bad one in the bunch - a further testament to the talent of this young man!

I have been following Edwin's music for the past 7 years. He doesn't seem to tour much out West, but I was able to finally see him live in Reno on October 26th. Edwin was so genuine - autographed 5 of the CDs I had by him. He was incredible then, and this DVD shows what a dynamic performance he can give. His live show included all of the songs on this DVD. If you have bought his latest CD, "Scream and Whisper" you will love the live performance of "Shooting Stars." He does an awsome cover of Rod Stewart's "Maggie May." Larry Chaney and Craig Sheilds really come through on this DVD also. Can't miss on this one.

All I can say is WOW! Edwin comes through with another stunning set that is just as good as every show of his I've seen live at the HOB in NOLA. If you're a fan of his, I definitely recommend this DVD. You'll recognize his stories, Craig's sax playing, and Larry's guitar work.

LOVE Edwin McCain. I have been going to his concerts since he was a no name and love him just as much now as I did back then. He is a wonderful person on and off stage.

This DVD is such a great representation of how great Edwin McCain is live in concert! Such an entertaining DVD and totally worth the purchase!
