This is a great DVD. It's a great DVD with great video/audio, but feels more tame than his live shows. At the live shows, he and the band play with the songs and make them sound a lot different than the studio versions. While there is some variation from the studio tracks, it's definitely more in line with his studio albums. If you're new to Amos Lee, I 3000% recommend this DVD. If you've been to a live show, you might be a little let down by how much more tame this show is, but it's still a great show.

I had to watch this video three or four times in a row when I first received it, because it was so awesome. It was originally taped by Austin City Limits producers, and then New West Records remixed it and it is just awesome....the next best thing to being there! I recommend this for yourself or as a gift to any amos lee fan!

Amos Lee is and amazing artist, and gives one of the most passionate live performance of any artist I know. I have seen him 3 times and can hardly with until he is in Los Angeles again!

I remember the night that Amos was on the same bill with John Prine. I have a copy of that performance, and there is one song missing from this release: Give It Up. So what gives?

FABULOUS DVD.Shipping was quick. Price was very reasonable. REALLY pleased with the product and the transaction.

Amos Lee is a remarkable artist. He sings like an angel.
His music is true poetry, he is a romantic musician, and
he is VERY handsome. :o)

We're fans of Amos Lee and were pleased with this DVD. He has an unusual delivery and is fascinating to watch perform. He is vulnerable, unpredictable (which is awesome in the market today)and delivers wonderfully lyrical music that is easy to listen to. This isn't a dance DVD, this is R&J, blues, jazz and creole all rolled into one. Maybe "prince-like" for his wonderful phrasing, Keb-Mo for his cadence, throw a little Van Morrison and John Prine in there and you almost have Amos Lee. Great part is he is Amos Lee, unique unto his own and we love him! This is one to watch and then listen to on those winter nights, rainy days and hanging on the porch in summer with your friends. Austin City does nice productions, the only drawback I think about this one is that you can see the fun in his face when he talks and no doubt, they focused on producing the DVD so little banter......he's really more interactive than this one portrays. Other than that - this rocks. Merry Christmas to me!

We had another large earthquake yesterday. I listened to this DVD last night when the power came back on. Amos Lee's beautiful voice and soulful sound really helped calm the nerves. This DVD is one of my all time favourites.
I recommend it to everyone who loves great music and talented singer/songwriters. I hope he's going to be releasing another DVD real soon.

This video shows an emerging artist of power and importance early in his career. The songwriting, vocal range, sensitivity and phrasing are first rate. And the band has great chemistry with Amos. About as good as it gets for content. And the sound and video are surprisingly good too.

If you are an Amos Lee fan, buy it. Period. Great collection of songs, well filmed and as close to the real experience as you will get without actually buying a ticket and standing in line.
