VH1 Presents Live & More Encore!

I hate to say it, but the Disco 70s were my "glory years", and Donna Summer personifies that time. Now years later, it is truly wonderful to see a matured and looking fabulous Donna sing these songs again with so much flair: she is clearly having a lot of fun.Everything about this DVD is so enjoyable--Donna has one of the best voices in the business; it's with good reason she has surivived where others haven't. She looks great, and I love her interaction with the audience, her gestures, and eye communication. She is really quite humorous.And who knew she could be such a fine singer in other genres? I Don't Wanna Work shows what a great folk singer she is. The songs she wrote for her life-story musical are very good.The musicians in this production deserve special mention here. They are really excellent, and really make this show come alive. Also great is the light show, the camera work, and don't forget the great audience who are totally appreciative of the Great Diva. The background singers include her husband and sister, and what a hoot they are.Also I absolutely love the video of Con Te Partiro. It is a clever and wonderfully directed video, Donna looks unbelievable, as is her singing. And for those who love the sight of beautiful men (like me) the accompanying male ballet movements are a real treat!The only negative thing I can say is the inclusion of that awful "No More Tears" song. It is even more irritating with Tina Arena than it was with Barbara.Anyone who lived and loved the 70s MUST have this video. And if you are of the younger generation and not familiar with Donna Summer, just get and discover something you are sure to enjoy.

Donna Summer was a radiant 48 years old at the time of this great live 1997 or 1998 VH1 concert. While Summer had long shed her voracious "Bad Girl" image of the seventies, quite a bit of her ponyish beauty remained intact here. This concert does full justice to her still-beautiful chameleon-like voice as she moves easily from full-throated disco ("MacArthur Park") to pop standards (an exquisite version of Gershwin's "Someone To Watch Over Me")and broadway ("If There is Music There,"), to pop-rock ("She Works Hard for the Money,"), country ("I Don't Wanna Work"), sultry gospel-blues ("Riding Through the Storm") and back again. Summer's rapport, ease and generosity with the audience is equally gratifying. Not unlike many other great artists of yesteryear, feature-length concert footage of Summer is hard to come by, so this DVD is definitely welcome! The sound quality is absolutely amazing--especially given that it came out in 1998, around the time that DVDs first took off! At its best, this concert effectively showcases all the qualities--part glamour girl, comedienne, renegade, devoted wife and mother--that set Donna Summer apart from the rest of the pack.

I grew up listening to Donna Summer and met her in 1999 after she released the CD, and DVD. It was a dream come true. I still have the autographed Album cover proudly displayed next to my college degrees. She was and will always be such an inspiration. This DVD brings back Donna Summer up and close and very personal. Her voice is amazing and the DVD quality is great. Donna Summers voice aged well, not many female, or male artists can boast this reality. She was a trained vocalist and this helped her retain her voice over the years without abuse. While many singers today are studio enhanced singes, Donna Summer was a true vocalist with power, resonance and projection. I will always love Donna Summer. The world has lost a great artist and singer. Thank you Miss Ladonna Adrien Gaines, Mrs. Sudano, Miss Donna Summer....

I was glued to my TV in the 90's when this special was produced and aired on VH1. The first lady of disco transcends that label to become one of the GREATEST voices of this, or any time. If you have loved her since the mid 70's or don't even know her name, this concert will appeal to you because her voice and stage presence are UNMATCHED. She passed away on May 17, 2012 and this world will never see another like her. Her battle with cancer proved she was a true professional right to the last. DO NOT MISS THIS!!!!!!!!!!! This concert will stand as a tribute to her memory. She sings with an angelic choir now.

WOW! Just plain wow. For any Donna Summer fan and I really cannot imagine anyone is not, this is a must have LIVE performance. That means no computer editing or help. This live concert was filmed just before her 51st birthday, you can see why she is simply "The Queen". Powerful on key vocals and such a beautiful wonderful woman.

Happy to have in the collection.

Donna Summer I hope you are in a Wonderful Place! Awesome Music DVD and Singer, I Love It! ...Thank You D.D.

This catches only a glimpse of the late Diva at what she did best - entertain her audience! Her concerts were filled with energy, humor, and uncontrollable dancing feet! As her husband said at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony earlier this year describing her concerts, Donna would take you on a ride that soared in the sky, then bring you down to some nice R&B, and gospel, while mixing it up with her sense of humor! If you've seen her perform before, you'll appreciate this dvd. If not, this captures only a clue of her mastery, gifts, and immortal talents! I miss you Donna!
