Summary: Willie Nelson (...) ruining good songs!
Review: I just hate this DVD, it's such a waste of my hard-earned money!!!

Most of the songs in this collection are great songs. But Nelson managed to destroy them all with his exaggerated vocal styling which made him sound like a village drunk!

Seven Spanish Angels, Luckenbach Texas, Till I Gain Control Again and City Of New Orleans are all terrific songs and sounded so great when he first sang them on CD. But performing them live on this DVD, Nelson ruined them all with his crazy interpretation!

If he was trying to be cute by singing them the way he did in this performance - with utter lack of emotion and respect for the songs - then he obviously failed. If I were Rodney Crowell or the other composers of these great songs, I'd sue Willie Nelson (...) for ruining my songs!

After this experience, I promise not to buy any more Willie Nelson CDs or DVDs.

Summary: Good but not as good as could be
Review: it's OK, but it doesn't take full advantage of your surround sound equipment. Don't get me wrong, Willie does a nice job and if you're a Willie Nelson fan, you'll probably like it.

Also, some of the songs are cut short, which I personally don't care for. If you compare the production and Surround quality to the John Fogerty DVD.....you'll get my drift...

Now that's a DVD!

Summary: ok, for Willie's fans. It is not really great.
Review: Started to hear the songs of Willie Nelson around summer 2002 because I saw gap's ads. Well, Country/blue songs he's written most of them are great. Love to walk on the streets and carry discman to experience the feeling. But some of my favor songs are not quiet right on rhythm in this perform DVD, Like "Always on my mind" I would like the old version. "Good hearted woman" I like the version with Waylon Jennings. The rhythm I sure is faster than the olds (But I don't like it, Just cannot adapt the songs required). Some people said Willie Nelson should retire. Yes, he should. What I like him not only songs he sang and wrote but also the contributions he did to country (like farm aid...). I just don't like the modified songs, like quickly to finish the show. I cannot feel what I listen from CD and cannot feel the feeling I had before. The ambition to have this DVD is hurt. I have been searching it in stores long. Many stores don't have this DVD. Now I might know the reason is. That is not I want. But anyway, he is my idol. I may learn guita.... Yes, indeed, some songs are ruined

Review: This is a GREAT video! If you have the cds "Willie Nelson's greatest hits live in concert", or "Willie Nelson Live", or "Willie Nelson Always on My mind and other great hits live", then you know what's in store for you.

Summary: Vintage Willie
Review: This is just a great DVD. Must have: Roy Orbison Black and White Night and Willie Nelson Greatest Hits. Stage lighting distorts some scenes but the sound and the production are excellant. Buy it if you like Willie, you won't be disappointed.
