Summary: Great Great music DVD - a must for all music DVD collections
Review: A single word - fabulous! James Taylor is one of favorite singer/songwriters who greatly influenced my early musical upbringing...this DVD is such a priceless gem that warms your heart with its tremendous sound, even though it wasn't in DTS, and the awesome display of lights and colors, even though it wasn't widescreen...this DVD is a definite must buy for all music fans whether or not you are a Taylor fan...JT's voice is such a once-in-a-lifetime piece of Americana that we are all lucky that our generation has witnessed such magical performances. This is one DVD that everyone can watch, young and old alike...his music is a celebration of emotions and the worthy musicians backing him were equally impressive...the sound and the video are all first rate...

Summary: This guy's music is timeless...
Review: Mr. Taylor is a troubadour of the ages. He and the artists he assembled for this production are nothing short of incredible as they hit every note with grace and craftsmanship. The production quality approaches that of The Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" DVD, however, I still feel the Eagles hold the honor of producing the benchmark DVD to measure all other concert DVD videos by. Nevertheless, this concert is a close second and will captivate any JT fan. "Shower the People" actually brought a tear to my eye, sooo sweet! The sound quality of the DTS is exemplary and the DD 5.1 holds its own. The camera work is right on the mark and the quality of the video is crystal clear. Plug this DVD in and experience the Beacon Theater's warm ambiance from the front row and beyond. I've played this DVD dozens of times and look forward to the next.
