DVD Gordon Lightfoot - Live in Reno
Live in Reno is a solid overview of an admirable career, even if this Gordon Lightfoot is not what he once was. The singer-songwriter, 61 when the 90-minute show was recorded in April 2000, looks gaunt, and his distinctive voice is on the frail side. Still, he has accumulated a remarkable catalog of material over the course of some four decades, and nearly all of the biggies are among the 22 songs performed here by Lightfoot and his four-piece band, from the early classics popularized by other artists ("For Lovin' Me," "Early Morning Rain") to his own best-known hits ("If You Could Read My Mind," "Sundown," "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"). There are no theatrics or flashy production values, just a group of middle-aged men playing their music--and playing it well. So even if it's not especially exciting, fans will be satisfied. --Sam Graham
I still can't believe it happened. I saw him in on a magical night in September 2002 at Jackson Rancheria (California). It was even better with my mother sitting next to me, who had raised me on his music. We enjoyed seeing and hearing him. We thought we might have seen the last of him, after hearing of his serious illness following the appearance. The guy's a fighter, and we hope he'll stick around for a long time. Thank you so much Gordon!
Always a class act
No glitz just authentic, enduring talent. I just finished watching Gordon Lightfoot-Live In Reno and am as thrilled with this man's gift as ever. He has been my favorite for over 40 years. Great band, my favorite songs, his guaitar. I didn't want it to end but now I don't have to. I can watch him anytime I want and I will want to watch all the time. For his fans, this DVD is a must. You will remember why his music touched you so deeply. Thank you Gordon Lightfoot.
Agree, but....
I've read most of the other reviews and generally agree with their opinions, but...
I attended several GL concerts during the '70's. Also, I learned and refined my guitar fingerpicking style ala GL from his earlier days.
It's one thing to watch an aging "Legend" perform who occasionally can't hit or hold certain notes when singing. It's quite another thing to watch an artist and Legend we love and admired perform at a much reduced state due to illness. Frankly, it was difficult for me to watch this concert. Hang in their "G".
Beginning with a montage of still photos set to (what else?) "Photographs and Memories," Have You Heard: Jim Croce Live is a deeply moving remembrance of the singer-songwriter as captured in rare video footage. Thirteen songs Croce performed before live audiences on the BBC's The Old Grey Whistle Test and other '70s television shows include such favorites as "Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels)" and "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," though his two best-loved songs, "Time in a Bottle" and "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song," are represented by audio recordings that accompany home video footage and a look at a handwritten score. There's no narration apart from a few of Croce's on-air introductions, but the DVD bonus features provide a closer look at Croce the man. Over the...

Self-professed "singer of the American West" John Denver shines in this heartfelt, 1995 live concert to benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society. Favorite songs such as "Rocky Mountain High," "Wild Montana Skies," and "Fly Away" are moving and gain fresh perspective from brief comments by Denver. Lesser-known songs like "Eagles and Horses" and "You Say the Battle Is Over" celebrate the spirit of animals and nature while underlining the importance of preservation. Succinct interview clips express Denver's commitment to nature: exploring man's basic hunger for the wild, the dichotomy between the uncultivated and the city, and the power of the individual to effect preservation and change. Striking though brief footage of wild animals like horses, eagles, penguins, and...
