5.0 out of 5 stars I feel better knowing Peggy Lee is just a DVD away..., February 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Quintessential Peggy Lee (DVD)

About 15 years ago, I saw Peggy Lee at the Ballroom (in NYC) for the very first time. She was in her late 60's at the time...maybe even her early 70's...and put on a show that I will never forget....

This dvd is of a performance that wasn't too long before that night. It brought back some fantastic memories for me.

Having no experience with the "younger Peggy"...I am quite pleased to have a DVD that shows her the way I first encountered her....

Of course, I've heard everything she's done since then and love both the young and old Peggy.

Buy the DVD...Have a glass of wine...and let Peggy entertain you for an hour and a half....She so obviously loves what she is doing..you can't help but love it and her too.

This review is from: The Quintessential Peggy Lee (DVD)

A rare filmed concert of Peggy Lee. Although not one of her greatest performances - having been filmed late in her career - it is a wonderful opportunity to see her in a live setting. I have always enjoyed this concert but to my surprise - there are addition songs on the DVD release that were never included on previous editions on video (VHS and LaserDisc). "Lover," "I'm A Woman," "Hey Big Spender," "Love Me or Leave Me" and others - nearly 20 minutes of additional footage. A must have for any Peggy Lee fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best (and only) Filmed Concert of a Great Legend, January 23, 2002

This review is from: The Quintessential Peggy Lee [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For those tried and true Peggy Lee fans, this is a "must have" for your video collection. I purchased it in 1993 while living in Los Angeles, CA, and I have never regretted it!

Although the sound quality is a bit poor, it gives her fans a good look-see of the crooner during her later years. Barely moving her lips, she sings such favorites as "Is That All There Is", and the eye watering, "The Folks Who Live On the Hill".

My hope is that someone will convert this video to DVD one day, and using today's technology, improve the color and audio tracks of the original work. Unfortunately, we can't, as viewers, change the venue of where the concert took place (a tacky Atlantic City supper club of sorts), but this still should not keep a true "Peggy" fan from putting this video on the "A" list.
