Enchant - Live at Last

Summary: DVD delay/production error
Review: Apparently there was a production error; the European version was recalled and the North American version has been delayed until probably early next year. I've heard some of the stuff from the CD version - the sound is great on it.

Summary: failure in production?
Review: well folks I'm a huge fan of Enchant but this DVD is a big disappointment to me. I was looking forward to the DVD and bought it right away. Don't do the same, the sound is awful, the sound in the DVDmenu is good but once You start the concert the sound gets blurry, distant and certainly not clear as it should be. This must be a production f**k up. I can't imagine the boys in the band would want it to sound like this...
It's a pity, I hope they are going to do something about it..

Summary: Enchant's 1st DVD - and ABSOLUTELY worth the wait.....
Review: Well, I know at the end of last year when the Live at Last DVD release date came and went, many fans of the band were dissapointed to find out about the audio problems and the delay for the DVD....

But ENCHANT fans, wait no longer - and REJOICE. The DVD of last March's IMusicast 2 1/2 hour show is here - and YES it is definitely worth the wait. No audio glitches to be found anywhere - for those longtime fans who have never gotten a chance to see this amazing and completely underappreciated band live, you will be truly happy with this live concert. 2/3rds of the band's catalog of songs covering each and every one of their albums - including one song never before played live until this past year - the stirring and absolutely touching WHAT TO SAY - Ted Leonard, already in great vocal form throughout this DVD, truly opens himself up to the audience and sings from his very soul on this track - his performance is simply and utterly amazing.

Each and every other member of the band is in top form here as well on this DVD - from Doug Ott's solos, at times blistering, and at other times soulfully and soothingly melodic, to newest member Bill Jenkins great turn on the keyboards (watch for his magic nose... you'll see...), to Sean Flanigan on the kit - I was truly dissapointed when Paul Craddick left the band years back - but Sean is an INCREDIBLY gifted player who has really made the drumming spot in Enchant HIS OWN. There is no question that he belongs in this band. Watching him work his sticks in this DVD, you can't help but feel his passion..... and your eardrums won't be able to help but feel his skill and power either!! And last but in no way at all least, Ed Platt, The Bassman Extraordinaire, on the bass guitar. Slapping, finger tapping, laying down the thick foundation for all these wonderful songs - it is all there and it is glorious. The beginning of Under Fire, the breakdowns in Progtology, his spots in Sinking Sand.... you can't help but love to watch the guy play.

Any Enchant fan will be overjoyed by this live DVD - whether you have never seen this band live before or if you were lucky enough to actually be there at this show, as I was. And hopefully folks who don't know that much about the band or have only heard a few songs will take the opportunity to be able to watch the band in a LIVE environment and pick up this DVD - DO IT - you won't be sorry.

I waited almost a full year for the DVD of this show to be released...

And Yes, it is absolutely worth it.
