Movie Reviews of Dido Live (DVD/CD Set)
Movie Review: AMAZING PERFORMANCE!
Summary: 5 Stars
i must say that prior to buying this, i had eyed it several times, but thought i probably wouldn't like it enough to buy.
well, a few weeks into this debate, a relative bought me a gift card to best buy for father's day, so i thought i might as well try it.
i watched several times that first week and found that some of the songs from her cds that i didn't really care for were amazing live.
my [..]daughter loves it, it's a treat for her to be able to watch it. she also listens to the cd EVERYNIGHT when she goes to bed (for over a year now).
the thing i really like about the show is that she changes A LITTLE of the music and/or vocals and it usually ends up sounding a million times better than the studio version.
i recently got a decent receiver w/dts and put the dvd in and heard stuff i had never heard before.
this is strongly recommended to anyone who even just a little bit likes dido.
Movie Review: Dido Perfection
Summary: 5 Stars
I was lucky enough to see Dido in concert at the Chicago Theatre a year ago and it was the best concert I have ever been to. I have thought since then, she HAS to do a live cd and this is just like reliving the concert. She's pheonominal. The live versions of her songs are fantastic...not too off from the originals but just spiced up enough to make you love them as new songs.
She is a truly gifted artist and this is a must for any Dido fan. Her commentary during the concert is great as well...she clues everyone into the real meaning of "Don't Leave Home" (a song about addiction, not love) and gives a real sense of how down to earth she is. She's also quite funny (During the concert at the Chicago Theatre a man in the second row center was watching her through binoculars to which she replied, "Jesus, I'm not meant to be seen that close!"). She's an ace, a 12 out of 10. Can't wait for the next one.
Movie Review: Dido for your own viewing/listening pleasure
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit it, I love Dido's music, her first album No Angel was brilliant, and Life for Rent second album really grew on me and is a favorite on my playlist.
This concert CD is a pleasure to watch, her concert performance is inspired, with just enough changes/tweaks to her songs that even though I've practically memorized her songs, it was new and refreshing. The picture quality was a bit soft played on 100" projector screen, but it kind of works in light of her musical style. The bonus of an Audio CD in the package is great, and makes this a great value. The sound quality of the CD is decent for a concert live CD. It's not the clearest sounding live CD, but the overall tonally balance is listenable.
Dido's performance was great on this DVD, and watching her performance makes me love her music even more. A must for a Dido fan.
Movie Review: Enchanting performance captured perfectly!
Summary: 5 Stars
Like one of the other reviewers, I am totally captivated by Dido's performance in this concert video...both her songs and how she interacts with the audience between songs. Also, like another reviewer, I am thrilled by the minimalist style of editing used here. This is the way a concert should be filmed! I don't want to feel motion sickness when I'm watching a video! I don't want to be at the mercy of a video editor on steroids! I want to be pulled into the music...pulled into the performance and the performer. And that's what this video does. Thank you, Dido and your team, for choosing to make this video so very watchable! Lastly, I was not familiar with all the songs Dido sings...and I was very pleasantly surprised by how good all the ones that don't get regular air play on the radio are. You won't regret buying this video.Movie Review: Excellent Concert
Summary: 5 Stars
Dido sings many of the songs from her first two cd's, See You When You're Forty, Life For Rent, My Life and Thank-you are all done beautifully. She also talks personally to the audience and you learn a lot about the struggles in her life and why some of the songs were written. The sound is very clear and the camera angles are great. If you like Dido then I would advise not passing this up. It's the closest you're going to get to a concert as her website does not currently have any tours scheduled. Unlike some concert DVD's you can't hear the crowd screaming in the background which often takes away from the enjoyment. There is also a CD in this set which is from the concert but does not have all the DVD songs due to space issues on the CD, nevertheless it is an enjoyable CD.
