This review is from: Fred Eaglesmith - The Small Beers Tour (DVD)

This DVD features Fred playing solo at a couple locations in the Netherlands in February 2005. The songs included are:

I Ain't Ever Givin' In

Sharecroppin'

Codeine

Freight Train

I Lost Her to Bingo

Ship

Carter

Cumberland County

Alcohol & Pills

Rough Edges

Bob's Dogs & Burgs

York Road

Drive-in Movie

Crashin' & Burnin'

Evelyn

Soft on My Shoulder

It Was You

Among my favorite performances here were I Ain't Ever Givin In, Freight Train, Ship, Cumberland County, and Crashin & Burnin. But as anyone who's been to a Fred show knows, some of the best moments come from Fred's stories, jokes, and insults between songs. Fortunately, we get quite a bit of that here with my favorite being his comments about people who talk during concerts.

Following 80 minutes of music is an interesting 25 minute interview with clips from performances. Topics include discussion of his Dusty CD, Fredheads, and messing with audiences.

Well worth a purchase to hold you over between attending live shows.

I bought this along with his DVD Live Below Sea Level with his band. I expected to prefer that one, but for length and quality I think this is the one to buy if you're only buying one. The only song appearing on both is Alcohol & Pills so you do get a variety at least.

I've seen Fred several times over the past couple years, and have even performed at one of his festivals. This DVD definitely does his solo performances justice! If you don't have this DVD in your collection of live artists, I highly encourage anyone and everyone to add this to it! You won't regret it!
