Note : I have the R1 version with 5.1 channel surround sound.

I am so happy that I decided to get a copy of this concert dvd inspite of the average reviews because unlike the 2.0 channel version, this 5.1 channel version is truly an enjoyable experience that one cannot easily forget due to the song selections, the sound quality and picture quality of the dvd.

If you are a Christopher Cross fan then you MUST definitely get this dvd in the 5.1 channel release version and you will never regret it.

To quote what dvdreview.com says ...

"Almost presented like a "Best Of" playlist, this DVD offers something for every fan of Cross' music, and those who want to familiarize themselves with it a little more. The 5.1 surround mix is a great addition to this DVD that blows the stereo mix that is also found on this DVD out of the water. Get this disc, and enjoy an evening with Christopher Cross. It is definitely worth it."

What an amazing concert this is! I am really surprised by some of the reviews that have been written. It's an excellent production and the sound quality is fine. This concert is a gem, Christopher Cross at his best. Christopher and the other musicians did a fabulous job performing these songs to the high quality standards of the original recordings. They did an incredible job. Christopher's guitar work will leave you spellbound. He's is truly one of the all time great guitarists... you'd never realize that because he's branded as adult contemporary but he really know how to rock on electric guitar yet also is a talented acoustic performer. His performance on "Words of Wisdom" took my breath away. The real treat is to hear the music that did not get radio play. It's amazing that after his early hits he continued to make outstanding records of the same caliber. I bought this video to hear the old hits but was pleasantly suprised to hear how good the other songs are. It was exciting to rediscover his music and get introduced to entire albums of other gems I had never heard before.

This DVD absolutely surpassed my expectations. The venue, sound recording and wonderful performance by Christopher Cross and the band. His voice has lost nothing, with time and I just loved Ride Like the Wind and Sailing especially. everyone in the band looked like they were enjoying themselves and the music is happy and magical and simply transports the listener. I wish he would come and do some concerts in New Zealand.

Live recording in a small venue adds a great deal of warmth to the music. Great choice of songs. A must for Christopher Cross fans.

I read some of the reviews and nearly didn't grab this one but I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed it. There are songs on this DVD that remind of great times in the 80's and he clearly hasn't been sitting on his hand's creatively either because the newer Christopher Cross songs are good too.

There's an acoustic set in the middle that drags a bit but this is only a minor criticism. I think if you were listening to the radio a lot in the 80's or in radio playing them like me you'll love this. Highly recommended

Christopher Cross has always been one of my favorite singer/songwriters. This video captures the sharp and exacting talents of Cross and his band, stirring emotions in the listener. The video is a collection of classic Cross tunes, each one carefully woven into the next. The acoustic set offers high mention with Chris' voice as bright and clear as on the albums. The camera work is smartly done without bouncing around too much to get you dizzy. If you love his music, you will love this video, the song list runs his catalog of albums. Watch it with a date, it couldn't hurt to stir those flames. Hint, hint. The music is also available on CD as a second concert disc matched with the new "Walking in Avalon" CD.

I'm a fan of CC, but this DVD does not meet my expectations at all. It has a mediocre sound and the performance, well, he could do better.

I didn't like the quality of the image and the sound, it's like a VHS instead of a DVD.

Cross es uno de mis artistas favoritos...........el dvd me gusta mucho , en especial cuando aparece Michael McDonald..........su musica romantica me transporta a la mejor epoca de los 70 y 80

I have all of CC's CD's and their sound quality is excellent, I even use CC's Saling song to demo detail in High-End equipment but the sound of this DVD is extremely un-detailed and poor. Christopher deserves a better, much better sound engineer. It is a real disappointment. ! !
