Rating: Summary: An absolute pleasure, nothing less... Review: Exhale, and wow! There were so many moments during this that I simply held my breath with excitement and sheer amazement over the lovely sounds I was hearing. This is a family, led by Kate and Anna, who have music flowing in their veins, and does it show! Hats off, hats off indeed. Having been in love with their music for 25 years now, seeing this -- my 1st time to EVER see Kate and Anna on film -- was a joy. There is simply nobody else out there quite like them, and the heart-wrenchingly gorgeous sounds they are capable of. For lovers of music, as opposed to the latest flavor of icecream that comes and goes, I could not endorse this more than I do. The entire DVD was a joy to witness and to experience, as you will discover yourself...

Rating: Summary: Great DVD but won't play on a Toshiba, and they don't care Review: If you can get this DVD to play on your DVD player, it's worth it! I bought two copies from amazon, neither which would play. (They were OUTSTANDING about trying to replace it and make it right.) Amazon was great, but if you've got a Toshiba player, it won't play. And Toshiba doesn't care. They say "read the fine print on the owners' manual about kinds of DVDs that it plays"...like anyone does that. Palmpicture (the company that presses the DVD) also sent me a copy AFTER they had verified that it plays on their players. The problem is with the Toshiba player.
Rating: Summary: DO NOT ORDER FROM DVDFACTORY Review: If you want to actually receive this dvd or any other dvd for that matter do not order from the "company" that calls itself dvdfactory. If you ever receive your order it will arrive very late. I was promised 1-7 days and it has now been 25 and I still have nto received my order. Oh yes they have gotten their money. What a way to do business, huh.
Rating: Summary: Great celebration of a remarkable career. Review: If you're a fan of the McGarrigles -- or Loudon Wainwright -- or even Rufus Wainwright -- you'll love this DVD. A "live" recording of their great album "McGarrigle Hour" this features songs that range from Stephen Foster to the best of the duo's 20+ year career...also some beautiful songs by Loudon Wainwright and his children Rufus & Martha. This might be the best textbook on harmony that you could find. Also nice interview clips and 4 "bonus" songs from a 1981 Concert. A beautiful collection.

Rating: Summary: Finest Hour Review: This DVD is a complete joy to watch! Everyone in it does an excellent job. The harmonizing of this family is beautiful! It is well worth the cost, and I enjoy viewing it again and again. I too, as the first reviewer, had went though three copies trying to get it to play on my new Toshiba DVD player. I learned that my player needed a software upgrade. I returned it to the dealer, who exchanged my player. Only then, did the Mcgarrigle Hour play. It was worth all the inconvience, though, because this is what DVD should be.
