A Must For The Vega Fan

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2005

Verified Purchase

I have all of Suzanne Vega's studio albums and have enjoyed her work over the years. But I have not seen many of her music videos as her popularity probably peaked with her big hit "Luka" in the late 80s (plus nobody shows videos anymore). So it was fun to see some of these efforts for the first time.

Suzanne graciously provides a commentary track for all the videos and although she stumbles along from time to time as if she was watching these videos for the first time in a long time herself (she even gets caught off guard once when she expects to see a scene that ends up not being there), she provides humor and insight into the videos and the songs. She makes fun of her "80s hairdos" for her debut album and "Solitude Standing" videos, comments about her concerns about making videos after she put on significant weight after having a baby (she looks great in my opinion) and expresses how her video to the song "Book and a Cover" (made in 1998) is creepy now due to the events of Sept. 11, 2001 as there is a scene where the skyline of New York, with the World Trade Center in view, is flipped upside down and a giant airplane flies under the Towers. I can see her concern, but the song (which was only released in an overseas collection) is really pretty good.

This DVD gives the range of Suzanne's music and talents. A must for the longtime fan.

Suzanne Vega- Goddess On Celluloid

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2009

Yow! Foxy Lady, over here!

Suzanne inspired me to get off my butt and pick up a guitar again (and this time, learn how to play it!); this collection of vids covers nearly her entire career, from 'Suzanne Vega' to 'Songs In Red And Gray'.

The only omission from the collection is the original 'Tom's Diner', which she sung acapella, near a window at the cafe. In its place is the DNA-produced, British remix-video, with footage of Suzanne from 'Men In A War', thrown into the performances shot in England. Her commentary track is rather funny: she was entirely confounded that they didn't get her for the video; she would have done it with them.

Included on the dvd is a promo film for 'Days Of Open Hand' (a title culled from lyrics for 'Book Of Dreams', from the album), with a partial film clip of Suzanne performing 'Men In A War', onstage; promo spots for '99.9*', and 'Songs In Red And Gray'; a rarities section of foreign album covers; and, best of all, a feature-length commentary by the original mistress of folk/pop/alt herself!

So, for all you would-be folk smoothies out there, get off yer collective kiesters and get a look/listen at this here collection. You won't be dissipated!

A VERY GOOD INVESTMENT--A TRULY RARE GEM!

I've been a silent child of the eighties all my life. As such, finding all the greatest hits from this guitar-wielding lady is truly rare! And they ARE IN MTV format no less! I've lost my Suzanne Vega-TRIED and TRUE album and I have to admit, this DVD is WAY better than that audio CD coz it blew away not just my sense of sound but sight as well!

Thank you Amazon for having it in the market. My walls of nostalgia are furthermore built with the addition of this rare gem! To listen to Vega's silken, thought provoking songs is a joy, to see them on screen is a DELIGHT!

A perfect addition to the CD

Not having watched much MTV or VH1 as of late I was surprised to find a DVD of all of Suzanne's songs considering the fact that I didn't even realize how many videos she had done. It was very interesting to see the different approaches that were used for the videos and to see how Suzanne has changed over the years. I highly recommend adding to your collection

Very nice collection of here videos, many of which I had not seen before. Audio is pretty good but not excellent.

I've been a Suzanne Vega fan since I first heard her hit, "Luka." Most of the songs on this DVD are better than "Luka." Anyone who truly enjoys the intropectives of singer-songwriters will certainly love this DVD.

Suzanne Vega represents a dying breed in the world of music and that is the fact that Suzanne has talent.
Unlike the endless talentless likes of Britney Spears, Rhianna et al, Suzanne has the rare ability to be able to produce music that is a delight to listen to.
Retrospective is excellent and I cannot rate it highly enough

スザンヌのかっこよさ満喫！

Reviewed in Japan on December 27, 2006

スザンヌの過去のクリップをまとめた一本で、かなり以前のころから現在までほとんどカバーしてあるのが素晴らしい。

スザンヌ・ヴェガというと声、みたいな、音楽としてしか評価されてないけど、映像方面もこんなに頑張っていろんな挑戦を繰り返してきたのだっという納得のDVD.

個人的にはlast year's troublesのクリップが好き。画面はきれいだし、スーはかわいい。lukaとか今見ると、スーは美人なのだなぁとあらためて思ってしまった。
