Steve Earle shines live........, November 15, 2000
This is the one the fans have been waiting for. Sort of. A fine performance by Mr. Earle and The Dukes. Only leaves us longtime fans wanting more. There are no between song raps, maybe to get more music in, which kinda takes away from the warmth of the show. Highlights are definitely seeing Dan Gillis, Steve's manager, on tin whistle for "Galway Girl" and the lengthy mandolin intro to "Copperhead Road". This being the first video release from Steve Earle, all told, it is definitely worth getting, especially if you are a new convert.

A Real Lullaby, November 14, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Steve Earle & the Dukes - Transcendental Blues Live (DVD)
Obviously I am a big Steve Earls fan or I would not have bought this DVD that is great in quality and nice 5.1, but I think Mr. Earle and all of the UNusually sedated Canadian crowd was all on morphine. I mean I expected just a little more energy from what I have heard on The Mountain CD or anything pre-Transcendental. I almost cried that I had lost [money] on this DVD! I have some other concert footage from Earle, like his prision concert or the Del McCoury concert on 54th Sessions, this is all great stuff that I can not get enough of,,, this is the footage that should be put out! Earle even speaks out on this DVD how he is tried of doing concerts and recordings and wants to focus on doing a play, and it shows real bad on this very lame concert. Sorry Steve and I hope you come back to us loyal but not stupid fans, keep this one in the closet. Might I recommend John Fogerty's Premonition, or Bee Gee's One Night Only, An All-Star Tribute to Brian Wilson, George Jones Live In Knoxville TN. or Brian Setzer Live in Japan, this is energy with great quality all the way. Don't hate me Steve Earle fans, I am one of the biggest, but this is bad.

Don't pay attention to reviews, July 29, 2005
This review is from: Steve Earle & the Dukes - Transcendental Blues Live (DVD)
I held off purchasing this DVD because of the "other " reviews. Don't let it stop you. If you are a Steve Earle fan-buy this DVD. It is GREAT!
