4.0 out of 5 stars Superb DVD, November 26, 2003

This review is from: Donna Summer: VH1 Presents Live and More Encore! (DVD)

An early music DVD release (1999) but don't let that put you off. The picture quality and 5.1 surround sound are perfect. We've all heard of poor 5.1 music DVD's, but this is extremely natural sounding and you feel like you are actually there.

Donna Summer is one of the most gifted female singing artists of our time, and her voice sounds even better in 1999!

Fans and non-fans will enjoy this show because it includes many of her greatest hits, as well as new music. Also included is the hit "No More Tears-Enough is Enough" which she originally recorded as duet with Barbra Streisand. On the DVD, she is joined by Tina Arena for this duet and it is very impressive. Tina Arena has a fantastic voice too. Tina's career hasn't been all that great possibly due to her bad choice of material over the years.

Other highlights include a re-working of "Dim All the Lights" where Donna reveals the true side of dealing with record companies.

I am thrilled that "On the Radio" and "I Feel Love" are included on the DVD. No sign of "State of Independence" but time doesn't allow artists to sing all their songs at concerts.

I now await a Donna Summer music video clips DVD.

This review is from: Donna Summer: VH1 Presents Live and More Encore! (DVD)

naturally, i have been aware of donna summer and her music for many years, even though i had never actually watched her perform her hits on stage. i caught this show on its original airing on VH1, and i was completely spell-bound. Her presence on stage, her command of the audience, and, above all, the power and richness of her amazing voice nailed me. Never resorting to impossible-to-sing-along-with vocal gymanastics, unlike most modern-day divas, Ms. Summer just sings the songs the way they should be sung, with power and precision, and a lot of soul. Her performances of 'Someone to Watch Over Me' and 'If There is Music There' are awe-inspireing. 'Bad Girls' and Hot Stuff' never sounded better, and 'Last Dance' was extraordinary. This concert should be seen by all wannabees in the dance music industry as proof that there should be first and foremost a voice to carry the song. This wonderful lady is proof of that, she's a living legend, and has never sounded better in her life!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rare Voice that has Improved with Age, January 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Donna Summer: VH1 Presents Live and More Encore! (DVD)

I don't know how it's possible, but Donna Summer's voice has actually IMPROVED over the years. Her updated readings of her classic hits add a new richness and fullness to these fine songs. It's amazing to see her bring a song like "I Feel Love" to LIFE, which was such a studio creation in its original form. You'll love "Dim All the Lights" even more after hearing Donna's story about who she originally wrote this song for (but then changed her mind and kept it for herself!). And who would have thought that Australian chanteuse Tina Arena could fill in for Barbara Streisand on "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)" and not suffer from the comparison?

This DVD is a MUST-HAVE for anyone who has ever enjoyed a Donna Summer song, and it also is likely to win over non-fans through the sheer power of her voice.
