5.0 out of 5 stars Magical and a special gift to her fans., October 13, 2002

This review is from: Nanci Griffith - Winter Marquee (DVD)

I watched this DVD twice after receiving it and can't tell you how much of a thrill it was to see Nanci perform some of her material live.Nanci is one of those singer-songwriters who I have always admired and loved.Her ability to make me stop and listen to her sing, while at the same time enjoy her storytelling, make her a unique performer.
I knew I would probably enjoy this live performance, but it was only after viewing it that I was awed by her voice and her wonderful stage presence.
This is like a wonderful gift Nanci shares with those of us who have never seen her perform live.She shines, and then some.Her "Blue Moon Orchestra", and her special guests, including"Emmylou Harris" also share a strong respect, love, and
admiration for her musical abilities and her strong sense of humanity.
Nanci, the performer, is as self-effacing as I had imagined she would be.The concert takes place in a wonderfully intimate setting that really showcases her skills and looks impeccable.
If you are a Nanci Griffith fan, she will delight,inspire, and please you with her performance.Thank you Nanci for this.It was worth the wait to have such a cherished keepsake.

5.0 out of 5 stars Winter Marquee - Nanci at her best., September 12, 2002

This review is from: Nanci Griffith - Winter Marquee (DVD)

I was fortunate enough to catch this concert live at the Tennessee Theater in Knoxville, TN. As you will hear and see, it was a magical night and Ms. Griffith was at her very best. I've followed Nanci's career for many years, and attended numerous concerts -- this ranks among the best ever. I especially appreciate the simple arrangements which magnificantly showcase one of the most beautiful voices in contemporary music. Favorite tracks include the Towne's Van Zandt cover "White Freight Liner Blues" and Nanci's signature "Gulf Coast Highway" with James Hooker on vocals. The night was made complete by the presence of Emmylou Harris. This is a must have DVD/CD for anyone who appreciates quality acoustic music. Nanci's loyal fans will love it, and it's sure to attract many new listeners. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of those moments you carry forever, February 18, 2003

By

This review is from: Nanci Griffith - Winter Marquee (DVD)

Nanci happens to travel to our area on a somewhat regular basis. Maybe it is that I have seen her more often than some members of my own family. Maybe it is that Ireland-Texas-Tennessee Connection we share. Maybe it is the fact that I can sing along with every song... or listen with pure joy. But the night we sat in the Tennessee Theater and listened to Nanci and her friends (second time in a month... just this time with cameras) perform the entire evening ... no opening band, no comedian ... just song and story and sharing for hours ... it is one of those moments that you want to drain every drop of. Yeah, the stories and the jokes were the same as the performance a couple of weeks earlier, but this time we were insiders.

Those of you who will only get the digital version of the evening are being cheated a little. But only a little. Nanci and James Hooker's vocal duet on "Gulf Coast Highway" is worth the price of admission. Unless you have seen Nanci live, you haven't heard this version, and for my money there is none better. How precious that there were cameras there to capture it.

Should Julie Gold's "Goodnight New York" jump to #1 on Billboard for some pop diva, I will be the one popping in Nanci's version and feeling all smug that I knew it when...
