Summary: Live & Kickin' Butt
Review: Live and Kickin' features Travis Tritt at his soulful best. Filmed in 2002 at the Tivoli Theater in Chatanooga, TN, Travis treats his fans to a host of favorites and covers material through his "Strong Enough" album. Perhaps one of the more underrated musicians in country music, Travis ably demonstrates why he should be a superstar with his bluesy vocals, excellent guitar-playing, and on-stage showmanship. He has the audience in the palm of his hand from the beginning till the end. Among the highlights on the DVD are fan favorites like "It's A Great Day to Be Alive", "I'm Gonna Be Somebody", "Country Club", "Strong Enough to Be Your Man" and a gorgeous acoustic version of "Anymore" in addition to covers of Hank Williams, Jr. ("Old Habits") and Charlie Daniels ("Long-Haired Country Boy").

1. Put Some Drive In Your Country
2. Time to Get Crazy
3. I'm Gonna Be Somebody
4. Where Corn Don't Grow

Summary: gutsy, honest music & a great performance
Review: Taped at the beautiful Tivoli Theatre in Chattanooga, Tennessee, this 2002 concert is terrific; Travis Tritt is a man who's paid his dues the hard way, and though he's had a lot of success, has yet to be fully acknowledged by the country music establishment for his talent as a singer/songwriter and dynamic performer, but the fans in this concert attest to his devoted following however, with a sold-out crowd responding with cheers and applause. I've been a Tritt fan since the early '90s, and have always liked the honesty and earthiness he brings to his music.

Travis is a dynamo on stage in the up-tempo numbers with a back-up band of brilliant musicians, and for a change of pace, the central part of the show has him sitting alone with his guitar, singing "Anymore", "Country Ain't Country", and though I usually prefer Travis in his raucous and rockin' mode, my favorite song in the concert is Charlie Daniels' "Long Haired Country Boy", which Travis sings with a lot of heart and soul, and with a great acoustic guitar intro.

The band: Scott Simpson, leader and bass / Wendell Cox, guitar / Paul Kramer, fiddle / Steve Sturm, steel / David Northrup, drums, and Jarred Decker, keyboard. All are superb, and a joy to listen to.
The sound is very good for live concert footage, and total time is 90 minutes.

Summary: GOOD CONCERT........
Review: This is a good concert by most standards - except for the audio.
The audio is not DD-5.1 nor is it DTS-5.1. But if you have a good receiver - you can simulate DTS-5.1 and DD-5.1 soundfields and it will please your ears. The only difference is that you will not get the surround speakers to perform in a true 5.1 mode. The video is in the widescreen anamorphic mode and quite clean. Overall it is a very good concert and a must have for all Travis Tritt fans. I picked it up at Best Buy for $10.50...
