Customer Reviews of David Gray - Live at the Point

Definitely a must-have!
Live at the Point gives a first-hand account of what David Gray is like in concert. Overall, the DVD is truly magical. It creates the feeling of being there yourself. The crowd of 9,000 adoring fans is mesmerizing. The energy of the band and lighting on the stage are fantastic. However, it doesn't take the place of an actual concert; there is nothing else in the world than experiencing David Gray live.
Gray is all smiles and ready to rock the house, and he certainly does. He has a way of getting the audience to scream, whether it be his famous head-bop, standing on the seat at the keyboards and clapping, or singing his heart out. I think watching the hilarious antics of the drummer, Clune, is reason enough to buy it. The camera effects are wonderful, though a little choppy because they switch back and forth a lot. Some are at the other end of the arena, showing a wave of people, all on their feet and dancing. Others are in front of, behind, and to the side of the band; a few are even clipped onto the instruments themselves.
Some pivotal points on the DVD are during "Babylon," (it's phenomenal), when David does two songs solo-they just reek of emotion, and the insane finale, "Please Forgive Me." The DVD showcases David at his finest: live. The featured documentary is also fascinating and well-worth watching.
This DVD is a valuable addition to any music lover's collection. And David Gray's a man whose music should not be missed.

Finally!!
It's been SO hard waiting for this DVD to come to the States. David has been popular seemingly everywhere except for the States until White Ladder came out here, but I've been a fan since well before then. But it's finally here and it is well worth the wait.

For new fans, White Ladder songs are interlaced throughout the concert playlist. It's a wonderfully balanced songset that has tracks from all of his albums to date including "Lost Songs" and "EP's 92-94". If you have and enjoy all of his albums, there will be some tracks that you wish were included, but that is truly one of the problems (albeit a good one) inherent to David Gray; he simply has an enormous number of songs that are just "great songs" that you can listen to repeatedly.

The quality of the video is pristine. There aren't any jumps, skips, or artifacts that plague some other concert DVDs. The audio, too, is crystal clear and synced accurately to the video. I've had past experience with DVD's gone awry in video and audio quality. No such problems with this one at all.

The included documentary follows David Gray daily during the 7 days leading up to the concert at the Point in Dublin. Mixed between interviews with him are interviews with other musicians in Ireland talking about David and his music as well as this wonderfully animated Irish poet that steals the show. You'll see David singing Babylon at an Irish record store to a crowd of fans as well as scenes from sound tests and backstage footage from the other concerts he had in Cork, Galway and Belfast. They talk to everyone and anyone that has something to say about David. I enjoyed the look into his life and history as well as the interpretations of his music by the people in Ireland.

Overall, this DVD is a must buy for any fan of David Gray. Even if you've just become a fan with White Ladder, this is a great opportunity to sample fantastic renditions of his past music to get a taste of what came before and his growth as a musician over time.
