This album really grows on you. The song selection is excellent, and Nina is simply terrific considering this is a live album.

The mastering could be a little better as the tracks sound a little soft but overall a keeper of an album.

Very nice singer. Good song selection, Audio mixed correctly in 5.1 which means, her voice is coming from the center channel only bring isolated from the band. I am a sound engineer.

DVD is loaded with nice features such as bonus music video, lyrics on and off so you can karaoke it (again, thanks to the correct 5.1 mix, this feature was possible and it was nice that they added the karaoke feature there. Audio is in Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS (uncompressed) 5.1 and Stereo.

What I didn't like: I do productions for a living and this is unacceptable to me. If Nina wanted a widescreen video they should have made it on NATIVE 16:9, not a fake widescreen inside a 4:3 frame (square TV format)

Result: If you watch this on a 16:9 Television, you will have black bars on TOP and SIDES!And that is REALLY ANNOYING! The video looks the size of a picture-in-picture having a black frame on ALL sides, making your big screen 40% smaller.It it was recorded on 4:3 without creating bars it would look better, only causing the picture to be stretched but would still fill the screen.

On a widescreen TV, because the way it was recorded on widescreen mode with the WRONG aspect ratio, the video will look EVEN MORE stretched because of the fake widescreen.

Again on a widescreen TV, the video will play inside a box on your screen (black frame on all 4 sides. Very disappointing. Very nice concert, nice girl, nice singing, nice band, nice audio, nice mix all 5 stars but they chose a bad aspect ratio.

Don't get me wrong. Go ahead and buy this video. I highly recommend and I really enjoyed and I wan to see Nina live one day.

for a live music cd, the acoustics are great. although this was released two years ago, i still love listening to the songs today. her cover for the timeless 'classics' (some may not be considered classics yet but give it more years and it will be) gives each song a new soothing twist that makes it easy to the ears. i think that even after ten or twenty years i would listen to this cd and still feel that tug in my heart.

One of the best female vocalists in the world. This album as usual shows just how incredibly good she is. Buy It !! If you've never heard her your really missing out.

For a live CD, it has a variety of songs that lends itself to listening to the CD all the way through, but some songs are stronger than others. I originally bought this CD for the song "Burn" but there about two or three other songs that makes the CD worth relaxing to.
