Sheryl Crow - Rockin' the Globe Live - DTS

Rating:
Summary: Rockin' is right
Review: 5.1 comes across on my system great. My favorite is Clapton "Unplugged". This DVD is a good second. Bought it after renting it. I think the mix is very real sounding as these things go, but I have not heard the Eagles yet. The band comes across "live" but the vocal is a little hard to understand. Still, really entertaining, in my opinion.

Summary: Great Concert DVD, But DTS Lacking
Review: As a huge Sheryl Crow fan, I bought this DVD on release day. I really enjoyed the disc - the concert was excellent. Sheryl rocked (as always), and the video shots and camera angles were very well done (there are some nice shots of people in the crowd up front singing along with Sheryl). My only disappointment was with the DTS audio track. While it sounded good, it just didn't seem to take full advantage of DTS. I may be spoiled by other DTS DVD concert titles I have (most notably, Hell Freezes Over by the Eagles - an incredible example of DTS surround sound), but the sound stage on this DTS DVD seemed a bit flat to me. That was the only reason I gave this DVD 4 stars instead of five. Still, all in all, an excellent DVD that I am very glad I purchased.

Summary: Not as good as it should have been
Review: As an earlier review said, this production could have used some planning. Putting performers who were wearing mostly black on a stage that has been painted black, with essentially black backgrounds to stage left and stage right, does not make for a very good visual presentation (There are some video screens behind the performers that add color, and the usual lighting effects). There's no back stage footage that would have made the viewer feel closer to the artist, and there's no costume changes that would have added to the visual interest (though that said, Crow is a knockout as usual). Also, I found the camera work to be only average quality, and the director's choices of which view to "take" were often unsatisfying. But despite the unfortunate production, this is still a chance to see Sheryl Crow, and until another performance gets released on DVD this will have to suffice.

Summary: Tweak for better sound in Dolby Stereo
Review: Bought this DVD Yesterday. I play it in Dolby Stereo, Sound is not that well mixed. That said it is very entertaining and you can solve this sound problem if you juggle the bass and treble dials a bit. If compared to "The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over", this is noway near as well balanced, but it really captures the "Sheryl Crow Live" experience. There are much better mixed DVD's, but this is far from a bad buy. Buy it, you will not regret it.

Summary: Great content, Disappointing audio.
Review: I am as much a fan of DTS as I am of Sheryl Crow so I expected awesome sound and performance. I got the performance; as for the sound this disk did NOT deliver. The sound stage was flat as a board and not very well defined. I guess the excellent Eagle's Hell Freezes Over DVD has set the bar!

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I cannot stop rewatching this dvd. Whether plugged into my reciever or even straight off my laptop I cannot get enough of Sheryl. The songs on here are wonderful and the editing is so nice that you get drawn into the show that the next thing you know it's over. I watch it over and you wish there were more dvds to buy.

Review: I don't know about sound quality, I had the VHS version and it sounds just fine to me. I really enjoyed watching Sheryl and her band, they performed an excellent and solid set throught the show, it was almost like being there. The performance of "Home" at the end was especially beautiful and moving. This video is a must for Sheryl fans as well as anyone who might be considering purchasing it.

Summary: A Fine Entertainment Value!
Review: I haven't been lucky enough to see Sheryl Crow in concert yet, so this is a popular title at my house. I love to watch Sheryl rock out and my husband just likes to watch Sheryl! Seriously though, a must have for fans, and probably enjoyable for the casual listener. Crisp picture and sound, but no extra goodies. Bummer.

Summary: Stunning!
Review: I like Sheryl Crow, even though I've never bought any of her CDs. But after I heard her perform one of her songs on a TV awards show recently, I decided to purchase this DVD of one of her live performances. It is, in a word, superb! Sheryl Crow and her band sound great in this DVD, and they perform most of her big hits as well as many of the songs from her recent Globe Sessions CD. And if you have a subwoofer, oh boy are you in for a treat! Furthermore, if your amplifier and DVD player support DTS sound, then by ALL means use it! The DTS mix on this DVD blows away the Dolby Digital mix and sounds even better with the sub-woofer. I very highly recommend this DVD to any Sheryl Crow fans; trust me, you will won't be disappointed! It's better than having front row seats, really!
