"Shania knows how to put on a great show for her fans. This setting is even more intimate than the all-around arena she had during her Up! world tour. This special features songs from Up! Come On Over and The Woman In Me. But most of all, she performs with Alisson Krauss and Union Station on this special! I got to see it on NBC and absolutely loved it! It gave it a home-feel sound to the songs. Very country-ish if you will. This is a must for all SHANIA fans! here and all over! The best thing about this performance is she does her own rendition of AC/DC's classic "You Shook Me All Night Long" with some of the lyrics redone. LUV IT TO PIECES!"

An absolute must for all Shania Twain Fans!

"I earlier had seen a part of this DVD - it was aired as a special one year ago on TV. They had only released 8 songs at that time but all of them were gorgeous! Accompanied by Alison Krauss and Union Station, Shania performed "unplugged" mostly well known songs but also 2 that she rarely performs live. And the last song was a real surprise - I will only say: it is related to the musical roots of her husband, Mutt. Have a look by yourself! I bet your eyes and ears will be impressed very much!"

Shania is GREAT but this DVD isn't

"I loved the intimacy of Shania's show on this DVD. And I really loved hearing her with Allison Krauss & Union Station--it really was a back to her roots thing for Shania. I really like to hear her more "country" and she definitely was in this performance. And as always Shania really tries to spotlight others, etc. But her voice is just incredible and you can really hear it in this not-so-amped-up performance and it kind of overshadows--which is a good thing.

What I didn't like was the [sound] recording. Initially I had it on 5.1 (I have a pretty nice home theater system) and was surprised at how poor it sounded. Yes I am spoiled, but I expected more. I had to back it down to 2.0 stereo for it to sound halfay decent. That's the reason I rated it only 4 stars. It was also a little "short" too. I wish she'd have done a couple extra encore songs.

The extras on the DVD were good too. Shows a lot of Shania in the pre-concert mode. Always a classy woman. Thanks Shania."

Don"t miss it this time!

"If you somehow missed the TV special last November, don"t pass up the chance to see this special now. Shania and AKUS are incredible together, and to hear her sing "SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG" is worth the price alone!"
