Search - Live in Concert-Natalie Merchant on DVD

Two complaints

(4 out of 5 stars)

"1) The concert clocks in at only 60 minutes. Why were so many songs cut? This is a DVD! Give us at least 90 minutes worth of material.
2) It claims to also contain a documentary. It doesn't. It has a few minutes of clips of fans. That isn't a documentary.

Other than the above it is great. It should be like a $9.99 DVD given its insufficiant usage of the space provided."

Colorful, hypnotic, transient - an essential music DVD

"A new fan of Miss Merchant and her spellbinding voice, I find myself putting the "Natalie Merchant Live in Concert" disc in my player more than any other concert in my extensive music DVD collection. Even my husband....a die-hard SRV fan if that gives you a clue....will sneak a viewing of the FANTASTIC rendition of "These are Days" when he thinks no one is watching. The experience is magical and liberating, mysterious but oddly comforting. With the exception of a couple fairly slow and dreary ballads - this is an essential music DVD for fans of all types of music."

A must-have for Natalie Merchant fans.

"This video will please diehard Natalie Merchant fans, but probably won't win her any new converts. The video was shot during Natalie's series of shows on Broadway last June and contains a mix of originals and covers. Highlights include Natalie's beautiful performance of Katell Keineg's "The Gulf of Araby," as well as a spontaneous rendition of "Senor Don Gato," which perfectly captures the spirit of a Natalie Merchant concert. The video also includes a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," along with an extended version of the 10,000 Maniacs hit "These Are Days," plus several songs from her Tigerlily album. The biggest disappointment is the omission of some of Natalie's most outstanding songs, such as "My Skin" and "Seven Years." Maybe we'll have to wait for Natalie Merchant Live in Concert--Volume 2."

"Natalie Merchant's new live video will please her diehard fans, but probably won't convert many casual fans. The video is a mix of originals and covers, and was taped during Natalie's series of shows on Broadway last June. Highlights are her beautiful performance of Katell Keineg's "The Gulf of Araby," as well as a spontaneous rendition of "Senor Don Gato," which perfectly captures the spirit of a Natalie Merchant concert. Also included is a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," and an extended version of the 10,000 Maniacs hit "These Are Days," as well as several songs from her album Tigerlily. If there is one disappointing thing about the video, it is the omission of some of Natalie's best songs, such as "My Skin" and "Seven Years." Maybe we'll have to wait for Natalie Merchant Live in Concert--Volume 2."
