"I was introduced to Corinne Bailey Rae's music by a friend of mine recently. It's not often you listen to an artist for the first time and feel you've known them for a very long time. Miss Rae is one of those artists for me. She puts her heart and soul into every song she sings.

I purchased Live In London & New York the first day it was available and quite frankly will probably wear my DVD player out in short order.

The DVD has 2 sound tracks. Dolby 5.1 and stereo. Needless to say the 5.1 audio is excellent. I haven't tryed the stereo track yet.

The video production is superb. I am not a fan of some of the producers who feel they must change scenes every 1/2 second or so along with more views of the audience than of the performer. This DVD has none of that. It's as if each scene change was thought out before hand choosing just the right angle to show. There are many close-ups of Miss Rae and the excellent lighting brings out her beautiful eyes and sincere smile. She has a full compliment of musicians backing her up. I was very impressed with "Since I've been Loving You" written by Led Zeppelin.

I also enjoyed the documentary which gives you an insight into what inspired each song that Miss Rae wrote. The 4 music videos are an added bonus which I thoroughly enjoyed not to mention the live CD recorded in New York.

All in all you can't go wrong making this purchase.

"I saw Corinne Bailey Rae the other night when she opened for John Legend and even though I liked her music prior to seeing her I was extremely impressed by the live set. She sang even better live then she does on the cd and the songs came to life right before my eyes. I actually was feeling the songs like I imagined she was feeling them when she was singing them. The live version of "Seasons change" was incredible. Im officially a fan and I cant wait until I see her again. Until then this live album will have to do. If she comes to your town, go and see her, you will NOT be disappointed."

Awesome!!!

"This CD/DVD set is fantastic. CBR is simply wonderful. I've seen her live and she is just a good live as the DVD indicates. I can't wait for her next recording. Her voice and band are so enjoyable. Favorite performance on the DVD: Enchantment. I love watching it over and over again. The background segment with the interview of CBR is really nice."

Transporting!

"These delightful live recordings of Corinne Bailey Rae are my favorites of the year! As a longtime fan of classic soul, rock, and jazz, I'm thrilled to find a contemporary artist who draws on those traditions while creating something completely new and honest of her own. Corinne's intimate and beautiful vocals are supported by background vocalists who sound like oil poured through sugar, one slammin' band, and on the DVD, symphonic strings and the funky Haggis Horns. The entire production is first class all the way around. The most important thing I can say is that every time I listen to this, it makes me happy. Can't wait to hear what CBR does next!"
