Amazing Peformance, But Problems With The Mix, July 12, 2002
This review is from: Patti LaBelle - Live in New York (DVD)
Patti delivers an amazing performance, as always. But I agree with the other reviewers that the picture and sound quality is aweful on this DVD. Very dark and grainy picture. Very weak sound, (I had to double the volume on my TV just to hear it). So there are real problems with the mix. Also, the audience at the Appolo seemed a little quite. I would have liked to see them clap more often or give Patti more support. But maybe they were being quite because they did not want to interupt her performance. I would recommend the Live, One Night Only DVD over this one.

She never sang like she sang here, December 13, 2000
This review is from: Patti LaBelle - Live in New York (DVD)
Patti has never been able to capture in a live performance what she did here. Her vocal range is constant, almost seems to grow in this concert. Her backup singers rock like no one can imagine. With Debbie Henry's show-stopping, "Feed Me, Lord", there is no touching the backup singers. Moreover, there's no stopping Diva Labelle. Singing classics like Ain't No Way, Send in the Clowns, and garnishing a standing ovation on Whitney Houston's "All the Man I Need", you will be breathless after seeing this concert. I promise you it is one of her best performances ever! Ever! EVER! She's live! She's awesome! She's... Patti LaBelle!

Diva LaBelle on stage, September 22, 2001
This review is from: Patti LaBelle - Live in New York (DVD)
If you've never been to a Patti LaBelle concert this is as close as you'll come to getting the full experience. Patti throws down in this concert like you wouldn't believe. Singing songs from her standards "On My Own," "If You Asked Me To," and "Lady Marmalade" to cover songs of Aretha Franklin's "Ain't No Way" and Whitney Houston's "All the Man That I Need." Don't forget the magical moment when Patti's former group, Labelle, takes to the stage for the first time in over 15 years. And you will not believe what this grand diva does with Somewhere Over the Rainbow. If you can watch this tape and not hail Ms. Patti as one of the greatest stage performers ever, honey, you must be dead!
