 THIS IS WHAT MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT April 9, 2008

How anyone could give this DVD less than 5 stars is beyond me. I saw this tour at Radio City Music Hall, just Carole & her piano, two talented sidemen and the audience. Oh yeah, and a lifetime of great songs! All of the usual suspects are here (meaning many songs from "Tapestry"), plus a fantastic and fantastically entertaining medley of songs co-written in the 60's with her then-husband and partner Gerry Goffin. These songs are gems that still manage to thrill, even with the boy-girl sentiments of a simpler time. Maybe that's the appeal of Carole anyway--she cuts to the bone when dealing with matters of the heart. Another plus are some classics that are seldom if ever heard anymore: Song Of Long Ago, Been To Canaan, and a few others that still manage to send chills of recognition to the soul. I have the 2-CD set of the same tour and I must say I think Carole sounds better here (and I like the song choice more). Her stories about the songs are funny and insightful, too. The production of the show is simple yet effective. It truly does have a "living room" vibe. If you love Carole King, or even if you liked her 35 years ago but haven't given her much thought since then, this DVD will remind you why you listened in the first place. Well done!

Okay, so I'm a big fan of Carole's.....bit did I really need to hear her give the audience a backstory on all her songs. I found this very irritating, and it took me completely out of the concert. With the amount of time she took to describe each piece, she could of added more music. It was kind of putting me to sleep.
I was really expecting a lot more.
The quality of the sound was just so-so.
I need to be more careful with future reviews of concert dvds.

Carole King's still one of the best singer-songwriters around. Her latest concerts, "The Living Room Tour", are just amazing. Although she shares the stage with two musicians, it's Carole and her piano who keep the audience at her feet for two hours.
I just wish she comes to Paris, France sometimes soon. After all, the place is much closer than Australia, where she toured last year... Please take note, Carole, your pal James Taylor, regularily plays in front of a dedicated European public !

An excellent job by Carole King who can still write and perform great songs. I highly recommend this.
