Summary: golden summer
Review: naturally, i have been aware of donna summer and her music for many years, even though i had never actually watched her perform her hits on stage. i caught this show on its original airing on VH1, and i was completely spell-bound. Her presence on stage, her command of the audience, and, above all, the power and richness of her amazing voice nailed me. Never resorting to impossible-to-sing-along-with vocal gymanastics, unlike most modern-day divas, Ms. Summer just sings the songs the way they should be sung, with power and precision, and a lot of soul. Her performances of 'Someone to Watch Over Me' and 'If There is Music There' are awe-inspireing. 'Bad Girls' and Hot Stuff' never sounded better, and 'Last Dance' was extraordinary. This concert should be seen by all wannabees in the dance music industry as proof that there should be first and foremost a voice to carry the song. This wonderful lady is proof of that, she's a living legend, and has never sounded better in her life!

Summary: THE BEST SINGER IN THE WORLD !!!
Review: Realmente amo a Donna desde sus comienzos. Seguí fervorosamente su carrera y poseo todo el material que puedo obtener en mi país y el que puedo conseguir de otros lugares. Este DVD es excepcional en todo sentido. Resume perfectamente su carrera y todos los temas interpretados son fabulosos. Pero lo que más quiero destacar es la permanencia y continuidad de esta DIVA ABSOLUTA a través de los años. Fue única en los '70 y alcanzó la cima en los '80. Pero hoy, a 30 años de sus mayores sucesos, sigue vigente y cada tanto nos lo demuestra con distintas apariciones, como en este show. Su VOZ permanece INTACTA, casi me animaría a decir MEJOR QUE NUNCA (HER VOICE IS BETTER THAN EVER!) Desde consagrados éxitos como: Hot Stuff, Bad Girls, Last Dance y un excepcional dúo con Tina Arena en el tema que grabara con Barbra Streisand "No More Tears (Enough is enough)", hasta nuevos temas como "My Life", que es espectacular ("My Life" is amazing!) y que pertenece a una obra suya: "Ordinary Girls", la que espero muy pronto esté en DVD para poder verla completa. El DVD tiene como bonus 2 versiones del tema "Con Te Partiró" (que Donna transformó en esa maravilla que es "I Will Go With You") y datos sobre su biografía y discografía completa; además de datos sobre los lugares alcanzados en los charts por sus temas. En resumen... ESCRITORA Y COMPOSITORA GENIAL; INTÉRPRETE ÚNICA Y MAJESTUOSA!!! No se pierdan este DVD. Don't loose this DVD; it's a fabulous show with THE BEST SINGER IN THE WORLD!!!

Summary: There Is Music Here!
Review: This was the concert that started it all! I was away on vacation in 1999 and flipping through the channels on tv when I caught this on VH1. Ever since then I have been a major Donna Summer fan. Her vocal range is astounding. In this video alone she does everything from country, gospel, rock, r&b, musical theatre, and disco. Truly a voice sent from the heavens above. If anyone has any doubt about Donna's talent they need look no further than this to see her really shine.

Summary: The Queen's Legacy Lives On!
Review: VHI presents Donna Summer, Live and More Encore is more than just a trip down disco memory lane. It features one of Pop's music most recognized and still powerful voice of Donna Summer. For those who wonder where is Donna, here she is still stunning and singing songs with the ease of a seasoned professional, after all she has been singing and recording for over 25 years!While the clothes are not as revealing as her early days, nor will you find Donna moaning and groaning to her "Love To Love You Baby" days of past or doing sensual foreplay with the microphone....She does deliver a true Pop Diva performance, doing most of her disco classics and adding touches of Country, Gospel, and Broadway Theatre to other songs, continueing to show that she remains as versatile as ever. Before Madonna, Whitney, Mariah and Toni there was Summer.....

Summary: Amazing Donna!! The Ultimate Singer!
Review: Well, what can I add to all the compliments in former reviews? It's all true what they say. It's an outstanding performance, clear and brilliant. Good musicians and good atmosphere. It's incredible to see how Donna sings through a bunch of her early disco hits as if they have been recorded yesterday! They sound fresh en untouched by time. Wonderful ballads (sadly enough not issued on the album) have to be heard and seen! It makes me wonder how a DVD recording or the first Live and More (1978)would have been! And that voice... oh my... that voice. I show this DVD to non Donna fans and they are shocked and grabbed as well by the superb singer Donna. The videoclip of "I Will Go With You" is a good bonus. Especially the remix version. Why wasn't that to be seen on MTV? I do not know... perhaps because the charts are dominated by teens. Also for them this is a 'must see'. Now it's your turn to feel some 'summer fever' and it's time!! :-)

Summary: I Want More Donna !
Review: What else could I say but, WOW! The quality of this DVD is awesome and extremely spotless, just right for the queen of disco. Donna Summer is the voice of all dance music and she is the pulse of what you hear today in the clubs. This DVD captures all her hits and let's you not only sing along with it but watch Donna strike a pose doing it! I encourage all to purchase this great DVD and experience a true performer. There's no lip singing here, so sit back, relax and enjoy all the hits from a woman who works hard for the money.
