 dollys worst- bad editing/nothing new
Submitted on: 2009-11-21 |
|
| im a huge dolly fan- but this set is by far dollys worst release- the cd is fine but its the same songs that are always released on cd's- with a live concert dvd you want to bring in something different- some new stuff to add to the classic hits-and the DVD on this set is really bad- the editing is bad- the shots of dolly are bad- dolly looks and seems very neverous and out of place- it was a very lackluster performance from a true star! and most of the songs were pre-recorded and it tells really bad on the dvd!!! If you want to see dolly in her best go pick up a copy of dollys 2004 cd and dvd "live and well" that concert shows dollys energy and she brings a few new songs into the mix such as "rocky top" and all but two performances on that dvd is live vocals- dolly has an upcoming christmas single called "coming home for christmas" which will be released on amazon on dec 1st on the mp3 page- skip this set and go for the single- it is a beautiful christmas song! |

The nice thing about going to a Dolly Parton concert, or so it would seem after watching this DVD since I haven't had the privilege myself, is that you're treated to more than just the songs you love and the flashing lights that make a good stage show stick in your brain. She seems to be one of the few artists, that I can think of, that actually appears to care about the fans sitting in the audience and the people who helped her get to where she is today. I personally appreciated the little stories she would tell between songs, and she definitely added that personal touch that makes the music HERS and not some words on a page. Despite being filmed in a giant arena in London, it had the intimacy of a fireside chat in your own living room with an old friend.
Unfortunately that intimacy didn't translate so well over to the live CD, which cuts out all the speaking interludes and song introductions. Not a huge deal; it's still pleasant enough to have playing in the background at the office or while working around the house, but it certainly does make a short concert even shorter. I didn't see it noted anywhere, but I'm wondering if even the DVD has been edited. Fifteen songs over an hour and 20 minutes just doesn't seem like all that much from a person like Dolly Parton who literally has hundreds of songs she could had chosen from. I also suspect she lip-synched two or three songs, which struck me as odd since her voice is perfectly beautiful live (if not more so than on her records) and they weren't particularly vocally demanding songs either, i.e. Backwoods Barbie.
Anyhow, I rate this item highly because despite some questionable production and editing choices, Dolly herself is at the top of her game and you can tell she sincerely wants to entertain and give people a good time, which successfully comes across onscreen. |

 Lacked energy

| I've loved Dolly since I was a little kid. This London performance lacked energy. Dolly was as sweet as ever but the performance was lackluster. There were only a couple new songs performed. I wanted to love the live performance but it didn't happen for me. |

 What LIVE is All About

| This is by FAR Dolly's Best LIVE Album to Date ! I Received this CD/DVD in My Dolly Records LFL Package that I Pre-Ordered from [...]! Let Me Tell You, it was Worth Every Penny ! Aside from the New Album, it Included a 14x22 Authentic Hatch Show Print, which was Printed in the Historic Nashville Print Shop , and Dolly Autographed it By Hand in Black Sharpie. An Amazing Poster to go with an Amazing New Live CD/DVD. Speaking of the DVD Portion, the Extras are STUNNING and The Actual Concert is PHENOMENAL in every Aspect of the Word ! The Way the Audience Interacts is Amazing ! I Definitely Recommend this Album to EVERYONE ! You Will Not Regret it , I promise :) 1,000,000 Stars and THEN Some ! |

DOLLYLICIOUS!

| Dolly Parton is a legend in the country world who has released many live videos throughout her career and her latest Live From London is probably her best. This CD/DVD combo, recorded at the O2 arena, is a must for fans of country and Dolly as she shows no matter what age you are, you can still sing like no other. The DVD is worth the price as it's shot beautifully and the sound is well mixed. This combo adds up to one great Dollylicious experience you want to watch and listen to over and over again. |
