4.0 out of 5 stars Paul was pretty good., May 1, 2006

By	Larry "The Volvo-man" (Tallahassee, Fl) - See all my reviews

I wanted to give this 3.5 stars (but have to round it up to 4) if Diana Krall's Live in Paris is a 5. It is an entertaining show but not a first class production like fellow Canadian, Diana's. I enjoy Paul's energy in performance and his talent in song writing. Moreover, I get to show my teenage kids that the "old" songs can be cool especially performed in a jazz format. After a few interactions between Paul and the audience my younger son turned to me and asked if the DVD was rated PG-13. You will know what I mean when you watch it.

Well, before I bought this DVD I was looking for a review here in Amazon since I know nothing about this show. But I got none and took a chance. I got lucky. Usually after reading a few different reviews from Amazon I get an idea of what to expect. Hope this gives you a hint.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gifted Performer, October 23, 2007

By	Beverly Praiswater - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This has to be one of the finest classic pop concert dvds ever produced. It's wonderful to experience a singer and a songwriter whose career spans decades of wonderfully conceived songs, yet has an appreciation for the music of today's younger performers. This concert is a highlight for those with mature musical appreciation and a taste for the finer things in life. If you enjoy Paul Anka's latest cd Rock Swings then this concert is a definite must-see!

5.0 out of 5 stars a come back in evening dress, December 28, 2007

By	Pietro Ripamonti (Milan, Italy) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

a perfection of a dvd, both audio and video, with excellent performances. Track 13 that shows Sammy Davis jr. is very touching and track 14 which immediately follows-showing the ability of various components of the band-rises you to the stars.
