Besides an unrivaled ability to make women of all ages sigh (believe me on this, I was recently at one of his concerts where two 70-ish year old women were literally hootin' and hollerin' and swooning), the man is the consummate performer. This dvd, filmed early in the Only You tour in beautiful Quebec City, is masterfully produced and captures the many talents of the man and his band. Singing, dancing, humor, theatrics, original composition,ingenious interpretation and a magical energy the whole band shares comes through beautifully in this entertaining and inspiring show. The documentary and post-concert interview are a lot of fun as well. While nothing compares to seeing Harry and the band live, this DVD is the closest we can come to that. Also excellent is the Jill Connick-directed "We Are In Love" concert dvd from a decade ago. Fun to watch back to back to see how Harry has changed...and how he hasn't!

A masterful performance, as you would expect from Harry Connick Jr. The revised orchestration of old masterpieces are well written and refreshed to Harry's style.

The Capitol Theatre in Quebec City provides excellent acoustics for the big band sounds from this DVD. It is recorded using high resolution audio (well balanced), and high resolution video.

An excellent DVD!

This was a wonderful DVD, a different side of Harry. For all his fans, I think you will enjoy this as much as the crooner.

If you are a true of Harry Connick Jr. then you would be crazy not to buy this DVD. I mean hello Harry in concert is one of the best experiences for any fan. This is great for everyone that can't get to every concert (that would be a dream). Harry is the best and I can't wait until I see him again in concert or when he comes out with his next cd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This CD "SENDS me!" It is SO great with his style and grace of old songs.....the slow songs, are the BEST, and I keep playing them over and over....the band is FANTASTIC, and I cannot get it LOUD ENOUGH!!

I am an audiophile, and was taught at an early age by my dad while growing up in CA. I have moved from the West Coast, and with THIS CD, it allows me to "be me" again, to reflect, reminisce and regroup!

LOVE IT!!

This product says that it is a DVD and CD included... it's only the DVD. I'm disappointed, but what am I gonna do about my $4.97 including shipping and handling?? I purchased it from Peachtree Food Services... maybe that was my first mistake. Be aware!!!

Come on it's Harry Connick Jr. for cryin out loud.. If you like his music buy this.. if not ... probably will not like it... but you may!

This concert was so great that I went ahead and bought tickets to his show when he came to town. Harry is so talented, so funny and so entertaining. If you like Harry, you'll love this DVD.

Somehow Harry doesn't sound as good as I remembered. I hate to say that this concert is a bit boring.

Who am I? My grandma? Do I really want to watch Harry Connick, Jr. live? On PBS? I mean, I do like that "Antique Roadshow" program and I'm sure they've got some other decent stuff on there, but damn, PBS? Anyway, Mr. Connick does his best to convince everyone he's the second coming of Frank Sinatra (it's tough to say who's the better actor, however), crooning his way through "Save the Last Dance for Me", "The Very Thought of You" and many other standards. So how's ol' Harry do? Not really that well, to be honest. His mood is too subdued, his voice too average-it's like he's trying too hard to give people what they want. And what do people want? I'll tell ya: they want bonus material like interviews with Harry and the band, a photo gallery (why must every DVD come with a photo gallery?), and behind-the-scenes footage.
