This recorded live 1997 Canadian concert includes some of Anne Murray's big hits, including Snowbird, You Needed Me and Danny's Song. I especially liked the Croonin' Medley, with ballads from the 1950s, etc. Besides Anne, viewers get to enjoy performances by Jann Arden, Bryan Adams and Celine Dion. An important highlight are the edited (short) interview segments, allowing Anne talk about her family, herself and aspects of her career.

If you have never seen Anne Murray perform on a stage, then you will never regret watching An Intimate Evening with Anne Murray. What you see on here is what you see when she is on any stage performing throughout the world. Remarkable, Rewarding, and a performance you will never forget.

Songs - great
Sound - fair
video - fair (comparable to VHS)

I am a longtime Anne Murray fan who has seen her in concert many times. She is a consistent, professional entertainer who stays within the ambit of what she does best: sing. She is not a dancer, she is not a joke-teller, and she doesn't pretend to be. She sings, and she chooses songs that show off her voice to advantage. I enjoyed this DVD, and found the guest performances an added bonus. If you like Anne Murray, you'll like this concert DVD. Hopefully she'll do another one, now that she's put out a few more CD's, especially Country Croonin'.

I got the Cd of this years ago, actually was cassette. I was thrilled to find this on DVD. You will love it.

The new ones available are Korean imports. Features do not work. Not stereo even though is claimed to be. Can not shut off sub titles. Will not play on a USA computer - just lock it up solid and you have to pull the power cord. Sound quality is very poor. Video quality is good. Pass on this - a big waste of money. Sorry I purchased it.

Anne Murray is always a "snowbird/songbird". She does justice to her long career.
