4.0 out of 5 stars
Two complaints, September 23, 2004
This review is from: Live in Concert-Natalie Merchant (DVD)
1) The concert clocks in at only 60 minutes. Why were so many songs cut? This is a DVD! Give us at least 90 minutes worth of material.
2) It claims to also contain a documentary. It doesn't. It has a few minutes of clips of fans. That isn't a documentary.
Other than the above it is great. It should be like a $9.99 DVD given its insufficiant usage of the space provided.

1.0 out of 5 stars
avoid the live DVD, buy the studio recordings, June 10, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Live in Concert-Natalie Merchant (DVD)
I was very disappointed in this DVD, so much so that I returned it. The audio quality is poor, with enough audible distortion that I found it unlistenable, and I am not an audiophile, just a mainstream consumer. The video quality is marginal, about on par with a second-generation VHS copy. The direction is poor, with many shots of the back of musicians' heads. The extras, interviews, etc. are either brief or non-existent. Compare this DVD with Diana Krall: Live in Paris in terms of audio/video quality, direction, extras, etc., and they are as night and day. I recommend avoiding this DVD and enjoying Natalie's studio recordings.

Colorful, hypnotic, transient - an essential music DVD, April 5, 2002
This review is from: Live in Concert-Natalie Merchant (DVD)
A new fan of Miss Merchant and her spellbinding voice, I find myself putting the "Natalie Merchant Live in Concert" disc in my player more than any other concert in my extensive music DVD collection. Even my husband....a die-hard SRV fan if that gives you a clue....will sneak a viewing of the FANTASTIC rendition of "These are Days" when he thinks no one is watching. The experience is magical and liberating, mysterious but oddly comforting. With the exception of a couple fairly slow and dreary ballads - this is an essential music DVD for fans of all types of music.
