Marc Anthony - The Concert from Madison Square Garden

Summary: Check it out, baby
Review: Great voice. Great performance. Great production. You should buy this DVD because it's cheaper than some of his CDs and it has 16 of his best songs, including the video "When I Dream at Night." I don't know how this guy does it - he runs from one side of the stage to the other, singing away full blast, never missing a note, barely breaking a sweat -- yet in the beginning of the video he is smoking cigarettes! The song "Preciosa," I think was my favorite. It will make you want to go to Puerto Rico. "My Baby You" was kind of embarrassing. He said he would never do the song in concert again, which is a shame because it's a very good song. Man, this guy can really sing. This DVD is an excellent value, a very nice mix of his salsa and crossover.

Review: I almost bought this DVD on the spot. I would have been angry beyond belief if I hadn't read a review before I purchased it that listed the songs. Needless to say, that review got a helpful vote from me. I want the earlier MSG concert known as the "Off to Broadway Concert" According to an article in the New Yorker it features Paul Simon, Rueben Blades and Marc Anthony singing "I was Born in Puerto Rico" How cool would that have been? I mean no disrespect to Marc Anthony with this one star review. It is quite possible that this concert is very good and will please his fans, I am not a fan outside of Anthony's work in "The Capeman," hence my extreme desire to see "Born in Puerto Rico" performed by all three. Plus, through my obsession with "The Capeman" I have become fascinated with the voice of Ednita Nazario which strikes me as that of an angel who has been battered by the world. She too performs in the "Off to Broadway" show. I wrote this review with the intention of encouraging the release of the the other concert. I'm sure that at the very least it is the more unusual of the two. Please do not send a barrage of non-helpful votes my way, I haven't seen the show, but this is the only way I can think of to bring the other show to anyone's attention. Again no disrespect to Marc Anthony is intended!!!

Review: I caught this flipping channels and was knocked out by Marc's music, his passion, and his honesty. I don't speak but a few words of the language but the music and his expression told the story. Ever since I've become a big fan. Bravo!

Summary: A tremendous concert!
Review: It was truly a pleasure to watch this concert on DVD, Mark Anthony "live" at Madison Square Gardens. Not knowing what to expect from one of the most popular modern day salsa artists, I can truly say that Mark A is an excellent live performer. His performance was lively, charismatic, emotional at times, sincere, and just a downright pleasure to watch. If you are familiar with Mark Anthony's exceptional music repertoire you can imagine the calibre of this performance. Mark Anthony, not a real dancer per se but definitely compensates with his mobility across the stage, his tantalizing chants to the audience and his unique self expression. Some of his most cherished songs were sung: Te conozco bien, Nadie como ella, Y Hubo alguien and Hasta ayer among others. The audio and lighting is superb as well as the DVD itself renders a crystal clear picture. No doubt Mark Anthony is a great salsero and he's here to stay. He is definitely the pride of Puerto Rico and all los boricuas en el planeta. Awesome show!

Summary: One of my favorite concerts!
Review: It's concerts like this that make you wish you had HBO just so you didn't miss anymore of them. This was really my introduction to the Marc's firey presence and solid connection with the audience, his warm sense of humor and his electrifying stage presence. Marc has obviously received some excellent vocal training. I could see Marc Anthony take on the heavyweights of opera with those lungs. He blew me away. His upper range is gorgeous, and the lower end of his register is soulful, expressive and very romantic. This concert presented a great cross section of Mr. Anthony's work over the years. This consisted of songs from Contra La Corriente, A Todo Su Tiempo, Desde El Principio and his self-titled cross over album. I really prefer his Spanish language music a lot more. Marc's approach to salsa is like Matisse's approach to art: generous, voluptuous, alive and gloriously expressive. Also, we must give props to his extraordinary band that consists of percussionists, great background vocalists and the guest musicians who appeared with him as well. (The legendary Tito Puente and Jimmy Bosch, among others.)

Please, take the time to watch this DVD and get to know the man and the wonderful music we are fortunate to hear from his great set of pipes.

Review: Okay, so the DVD isn't out yet, and I obviously couldn't own it yet, but I do own an Emmy screening copy on VHS and I must admit, I never get tired of watching this show. Of all the Marc concerts I've been to, this remains my favorite. I'm going to list all the songs from the concert for everyone. They will most likely be the same on the DVD + the extra features and stuff...

Y Hubo Alguien / Contra La Corriente / You Sang To Me / When I Dream At Night / Hasta Ayer / Si Te Vas / Nadie Como Ella / Don't Let Me Leave / Remember Me / My Baby You / Te Conozco Bien / Da La Vuelta / Preciosa / That's Okay / I Need To Know
