A lot of artists just seem to lose their touch as they get older. I kind of expected that with Fats on this DVD set. After all, he IS in his 70's now.

But I couldn't have been more wrong.

From the first tinkle of the piano keys, I knew right away that Fats was back in the house! Even his voice sounded just like it did way back when he was a chart-topper.

If you like Fats' music, you're going to love this DVD! One hit after another after another. The sound is great! The picture is sharp!

With as many hits as Fats has had, it's next to impossible to play everything in one concert. But he picks a great batch of songs from his catalog and he doesn't disappoint!

Here's a list of songs he plays in the "show":

1. I'm Walkin'

2. Let The Four Winds Blow

3. My Blue Heaven

4. I'm In Love Again

5. I'm Ready

6. Don't You Know

7. Shake, Rattle and Roll

8. Blueberry Hill

9. Girl I Love

10. Blue Monday

11. Poor Me

12. All By Myself

13. So-Long

14. When My Dreamboat Comes Home

15. I'm Gonna Be a Wheel Someday

16. The Fat Man

17. My Girl Josephine

18. Goin' To The River

19. Walking to New Orleans

20. When the Saints Go Marching In / Sentimental Journey

This one is WELL worth the price of admission!

Sony/Shout has delivered a first-rate piece of entertainment and education: Fats Domino at the 2001 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. We are treated to twenty full performances - the only medley is the closer. In fact, there are terrific renditions of lesser-discussed classics like "Girl I Love" [aka "Help Me"], "Don't You Know", "All By Myself", "Poor Me", and "So Long". The cameras are right there to vividly capture the Hall of Famer at the mike and keys while picking up alot of the happy patrons dancing and singing along. The editing is exceptionally good - most videos/DVDs feature hyperactive camerawork focusing only only what's happening *on* stage.
Informative interviews with New Orleans musician/producer/arranger Allen Toussaint, J & M Studios Founder/producer/engineer Cosimo Matawassa, the Nevilles, Mikal Gilmore, and Antoine himself are beautifully interpolated. The Bio'(s) and Disgoraphy are a little short on detail but overall this is essential stuff.

Fats never looked or sounded better. The band sounds tight and it's a fun concert to watch. If you are a Fats Domino fan this is a DVD you will want to own. My only complaint and I even hate to bring it up, but you may want to know that several of the songs are faded out for personal remarks made by people in the music bizz. Other than that I love the DVD!

A real legend. Not only in Nw Orleans but all over the world. A great DVD recorded during the Jazz and Heritage Festivall in 1991. I was there and remember the whole show. It was a good one. Fats at his best. Age does not count. One thing should have been better: the sound quality. For a 2001 product i am really disapointed. I hope we will have another chance to see and hear Fats in a quality he and all of his fans deserve for the future. Give Fats and his fans a better Chance before it is too late!

Only one thing i regret. The sound quality should have been much better. Fats is and will allways be one of all time greatest in American popular music.

this review may sound like a broken record but no one has said anything about all the interviews spliced throughout this concert. if i wanted interviews i'd go to the library and check out a book about his life. there seems to be a need to tell a story instead of enjoying a complete concert without interviews. put them in the bonus section not throughout the concert. how many times are you gonna want to watch this dvd and have his life shoved dowm your throats. let the viewer make that decision or at least put a statement on the box alerting the consumer that the interviews are throughout the concert. if you can deal with all the interviews then you'll probley enjoy the concert. for me it ruined the concert. if i need a "fats fix" in the future, i'll put on the austin city limits show. no interviews.........

Fats Domino is a sound that boomed over the radio as I was growing up. Although I was quite young, I was 6 years old when Ain't That A Shame was a hit, it had that sound that stuck with you. I always enjoyed his music, it probably the reason that I embraced straight a head jazz many years later. That bluesy edge. Fats Domino had an impact on many musicians over the decades, so I needed to go back home, so to speak. Reviewers that found him almost exactly like they heard it before, they were correct. He delivered each one of his hits like a teacher reads the answers to his own test. I thought I was back in 1955. We are so lucky to have this DVD recorded in 2001 to hear history in the making in color and with modern video production values. There are so many great ones that never were recorded on film for posterity. Thank you Fats
