Norah Jones' 2004 DVD is an excellent concert set, technically well recorded & edited, as well as an artistic success. Never having seen Norah live, I was most impressed by her gracious and giving nature onstage. She gives credit to her accompanying musicians and uses many songs that they have written. Particularly impressive is the drummer Andrew Borger whose broad smile and enthusiasm for Norah and her music brighten the stage. Borger had worked with Chuck Prophet and Tom Waits, which may explain why Norah does a Waits' song co-written with Kathleen Brennan called "The Long Way Home." He also composed "Above Ground" from the "Feels Like Home" CD that appears in this set. Robbie McIntosh was a favorite of mine from his 3 Compass CDs including one of my favorite tunes "Emotional Bends," which was a title track of one release. McIntosh has toured with Paul McCartney & the Pretenders; so his addition to Norah's band is exquisite. "Moon Song" that was not included on the "Feels Like Home" CD is a beautiful tune; so it is a joy to hear here. I thought that I & 70 people from New York City (including Art Garfunkel) were probably the only Richard Julian fans on the planet. One of his tunes, "Siberia," went to #1 on my personal top ten last year. His joining Norah on a John Prine song "That's the Way the World Goes Round" is an utter treat here about a guy who beats his wife with a rubber hose & then takes her out to buy new clothes. With Prine's wry sense of humor & Norah's delightful mischievous side that shines through, this is a great track. Kevin Breit who wears a funky fedora onstage has left the band and released his own CD that depending on the listing sometimes appears as "John & the Sisters" or "Kevin Breit & the Sisters," wrote "Humble Me" that Norah performs beautifully. Norah is wonderfully gracious to the sparkling Dolly Parton who guests on Borger's "Creepin' In." At 60, Dolly's got incredible energy & style and seems to have a genuine chemistry with Norah, despite a great difference in their stage manner. Norah is equally as giving to guests Gillian Welsh & David Rawlings who guest on Townes Van Zandt's "Loretta." Whether on the "Oh Brother" DVD that was also filmed at Nashville's Ryman or on this set, I always get a kick out of David Rawlings' stage enthusiasm. Daru Oda is a delight singing backup. I also greatly enjoyed Norah's version of The Band's "Life Is A Carnival." This is an excellent concert DVD! Enjoy!
