Summary: Release it already!!!
Review: (...). It may be the best salsa concert of all time and I have been wanting to own it for two years!! With cameo appearances by Ruben Blades and Tito Puente, failing to release this dvd is clearly hurting Anthony's chances of being the dominant salsero of thsi generation. It is precisely this kind of failure to address public demand that causes us to rush to (...) instead of to empty music stores.

Summary: "Hasta Ayer", hoy y siempre
Review: A live broadcast for HBO from Madison Square Garden in 2000, this 2 hour show is energy filled and a winner for salsa lovers; the camera work and editing are excellent, and it must have been challenging to follow Marc Anthony as he dances his way across the stage. He is super-charged and looks great in all black, with a knee-length jacket and his trademark sunglasses.
The musicians are incredible, and keep up with Marc every step of the way, and the audience reaction is like an ocean of applause and cheers, that clearly overwhelms Marc with emotion at times.
The DVD "Extras" include the video of "When I Dream at Night".
As Marc is fond of saying, "check it out, baby !"
The songs:
1: "Y Hubo Alguien", a wild salsa number to start the show with.
2: "Contra la Corriente", the title song to his terrific 1997 CD.
3: "You Sang to Me"
4: "When I Dream at Night"
5: "Hasta Ayer". My favorite song of the show ! the concert is worth viewing for this number alone; guitarist Nelson Gonzales does a marvelous solo on this one.
6: "Si Te Vas". more wild salsa.
7: "Nadie Como Ella". Tito Puente does a drum solo on this one.
At this point in the concert Marc Anthony does some introductions: Ruben Blades, and Julia Roberts and Benjamin Bratt who are in the audience.
8: "Don't Let Me Leave". Aaron McLain does a nifty electric guitar solo on this song.
9: "Remember Me". A lovely, poignant ballad.
10: "My Baby You". An emotional ballad dedicated to Marc's daughter Arianna, which moves Marc to tears after singing it.
11: "Te Conosco Bien". Back to the salsa.
12: "Da la Vuelta". Mas salsa !
13: "Preciosa". An ode to beautiful Puerto Rico.
14: "That's Okay". Great dance number.
15: "I Need to Know". I love this tune ! Wonderful melody and rhythm, impossible to refrain from dancing when this is playing.

Summary: the wait is over!!!
Review: after almost 3 years, the dvd from marc anthony's concert from the madison square garden is finally here. simply known as one of the best voices in the salsa genre, he also made his debut as a pop artist as well, with his first album in english called marc anthony. giving his fans a little bit of everything, the ten minutes short of a two hour performance was simply incredible. with celebrities in the audience such as ruben blades, julia roberts and rosie o'donell, and an on stage appearance by salsa legend tito puente, you can only imagine the kind of show this was. he is a little geeky when talking to the audience between songs, but when he sings...it's something out of this world. mixing his salsa hits with his new pop hits, this concert will have you wanting more. including an oh so touching performance dedicated to his daughter in the song "my baby you", and the patriotic song "preciosa" dedicated to his beautiful island Puerto Rico, this concert is simply why marc anthony is the best.

Summary: One of the great ones!
Review: Being a singer myself, I know when I see great talent! I've been told I have a bedroom voice, but my voice no longer has the range that this man has. He deserves to be where he's now and has earned to be mentioned amongst the greatest Salsa singers. He will take my kind of music well into the future. Keep up the good work Marc and God bless.

Summary: If You Like Marc, You Need This! It's Amazing!
Review: Everyone who calls themself a fan of Marc must own this dvd! He's so entertaining. Not only is this a fabulous performance of some of Marc's most popular songs, it has the "When I Dream At Night" video as a bonus. Marc sings his songs with such passion, he's so energizing & funny, you feel what he's feeling. If you've been blessed to see him live as I have, this performance is a sweet reminder of how amazing Marc is live.

Summary: MUSICA PARA TODOS ! MUSIC FOR EVERYONE !
Review: Finally "The Concert From Madison Square Garden" is available on DVD. This is a concert from March of 2000. There were 2 performances at the Garden, 1 of which was filmed to be telecast on HBO. I love Marc's voice so much that my wife & I purchased tickets for both concerts. Marc's voice & onstage presence cannot be overlooked. He is the # 1 Salsero & is as some people have called him the "Latin Frank Sinatra" of our time. Any true music lover can and will appreciate his talent and the Sensuality in his voice. I've watched this performance numerous times ( on V.H.S. & now finally I can watch it on DVD ) and I never get tired of watching it. Marc's voice is a la natural and nothing is needed to enchance this mans voice. My standout moments in this performance is when he sings "My Baby You" a song which he dedicated to his daughter Arianna who was in the audience. A very touching song. I also enjoyed the special surprise guest appearance by El Rey "Tito Puente" who played the timbales during Marc's performance of "Nadie Como Ella". Marc is a superb talent in both the Spanish & English music market. He has the best of both worlds. He will be around for a very LONG time. Pick this D.V.D. up and you'll get more than your moneys worth. Marc, all I have to say is " Valla BORICUA " ! Sigue Palante ! La musica tuya es "PRECIOSA' !

Summary: One of the better Salsa DVDs. Buy it!
Review: Finally, the long-awaited Madison Square Garden concert. Marc plays all the tunes from his earlier CDs (which were the best Salsa and English Pop CDs, in my opinion). His band is top-notch, the production is one of the best I've seen (HBO productions, what do you expect?), the musicians include salsa greats like Tito Puente and Jimmy Bosch on trombone, and a whole host of other New York heavyweights. The sound is spectacular, although on the bassy side (so put up the treble on your sound system).All in all, my second favorite Salsa DVD, after Bobby Valentin's 35th Anniversary DVD in the Oso Blanco Prison in Puerto Rico. This is Marc Anthony at his best! Get it!
