5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!!!, December 22, 2004

This review is from: Soundstage: Lyle Lovett (DVD)

Not one, but TWO of my favorite artists (Lyle Lovett & Randy Newman), together in one concert! Add to that Lyle's "Large Band", his long time singing partner Francine Reed, trumpet player Mark Isham, and a complete orchestra, and you've got a stage filled with amazing talent!

The program starts off with Lyle singing hits from various movies. About mid-concert Randy Newman performs 3 of his compositions. Lyle then comes back to finish up with several non-movie related songs from his past releases. All-in-all, a wonderful mix of songs, all packed nicely into an 81 minute concert.

Video was captured using High Definition equipment and looks sharp.

Audio (the 5.1 track) sounds rich and clean.

If you're a Lovett or Newman fan you're going to enjoy this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars great content, technically challenged, November 21, 2004

This review is from: Soundstage: Lyle Lovett (DVD)

Well, it's hard to go wrong with Lyle. This dvd gets a 4 because of the content. He is in rare form with the "large band" being as great as ever including some phenomenal vibes with Francine Reed.It was good to see them all together again and the thing about Lyle in this dvd is he really seems to be LOVING being there. Randy Newman and Mark Isham were awesome. There are great shots of him and the band and I will confess that I didn't know he had blue eyes until now!

Anyway, the biggest disappointment for me was the sound. Almost returned the disc and thought better of it. I think it is just the way it is. It goes from a full concert/stereo big sound to a canned, far away sound. That is the only way I can describe it. I am curious to know if others had the same problem. It also seemed like the lighting could have been better and the vision sharper. I am comparing this to some James Taylor DVD's and a Sarah Macglaughlan (sp?) that I have. Great content, but technically lacking.

This Soundstage concert was great when it was performed. It was like listening to many of Lyle's greatest hits with just an outstanding band and group of singers. Another great performance.
