Rating: Summary: A Real Queen Review: As an Israeli, I never had the opportunity to see Carol King performs, and this DVD made a real surprise. Is this a 55-year-old lady? She looks and sounds great. The show is a great party. Most of the beloved classics are there. Worth buying!
Rating: Summary: The Queen of Rock & Roll Review: Be ready for nearly two hours of fun that's full of energy. This event was a well produced PBS fund raiser. Fortunately on DVD and 5.1 surround sound (as opposed to the initial broadcast) the viewer becomes one of the audience for a true legend of the 1960's & 70's and is still pouring her heart into every lyric and note thus delivering it like a fine aged wine....
Rating: Summary: Carole King in Concert Review: Es espectacular. La mejor canta-autora del mundo.
Rating: Summary: worth owning Review: fans of american popular music should own this. as a woman, king is often overlooked as one of rock 'n' roll's greatest contributors, yet she helped invent the genre as we know it. king considers herself a songwriter first, but this dvd shows that she is an extraordinary performer as well. few artists work this hard on stage or own the ability to create an instantaneous sense of warmth when working live; king is masterful at both. the concert was expertly filmed and the song cycle, although too greatest hit-sy for real fans, will satisfy the casusal enthusiast. enjoy.
Rating: Summary: really Good show Review: from one of the Most Important singer/songwriters&all Around Talents in the Music Indsutry. this concert is really cool&Highlights all of her Classics&she sounds&Looks Really Good.
Rating: Summary: Great concert! I still love her music! Review: If you haven't heard any of Carole's music since Tapestry, hold on to your hat. Her style has evolved, but not unrecognizably so. And her wonderful voice and talent are the same. The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio quality is quite good. The visual quality is high enough to watch at a widescreen setting with only a tiny loss of sharpness. Each song is a chapter, so you can easily go to a particular song. My only criticism is that the dvd is very dark in places. I would have preferred softer lighting on the stage with fewer spotlights and shadows. I loved seeing Carole at the piano for several songs during this concert. That's the Carole that I remember. But how fun it is to see Carole facing the audience, singing, dancing, and inviting them to join in on a chorus of one of the old favorites. This is a must-see for any Carole King fan.

Rating: Summary: excellent Review: My previous relationship with CK was her hit album Tapestry. This DVD is very much enjoyable. This 1994 concert has all her hits with an excellent band and great concert hall. The video is top quality and it would become a real jewel if ever released in DTS. TOO BAD no surround sound on this work of art.

Rating: Summary: AND THE HITS KEEP COMING AND COMING... Review: the eveready bunny has nothing on Carole King....and this concert not only contains hit after hit..but it is lit and photographed beautifully as well! The pace of the show is a real rollercoaster of time and emotion...I actually forgot how much I loved her music...glad to have a digital refresher course available...If you want to hear one of the half dozen greatest pop composers of the last forty years perform her songs as only she can...you will not be dissapointed. PS her band cooks!
