Customer Reviews of Melissa Etheridge - Live... and Alone (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition)

So I went.

It is just like being at the concert except that you get to sit in a real seat.

It begins with some footage from the last time Melissa sang in a particular bar in Pasadena, California in 1987. She had so much promise and poise, even then. The bar scene flows into the time before right before this Concert which was filmed at the Kodak in Hollywood, in 2001. Even Stephen Spielberg hobbles into this pre-concert footage.

The concert is The Perfect Melissa Concert: the photography is great; her expressions are fierce and funny; and her voice just fills up the screen and the hearts of those who hear her.

Among other songs, she sings the two piano songs, Please Forgive Me and the Weakness In Me; and other songs in which she accompanies herself on the guitar, Down To One, Lover Please, American Girl, Chrome, Scarecrow, The Only One, Come To My Window, Somebody Bring Me Some Water and The Way I Do. There are other songs; I'm not a scribe.

Chrome is really a beautiful song and beautifully done.

Lover Please, shows Melissa's pain to the point of pleading but also, through the use of that garble-machine into which Melissa sputters the words 'do you want me' (I think) and through the use of that harsh yellow light, I sense real anger, anger that I never heard in the song without the visual.

The photography and editing are excellent, occasionally there would be three shots of her singing on the screen at once - the movie was really well cut and crafted.

And Melissa is Melissa. It is extraordinary.

The deluxe DVD of this concert/movie will also contain footage of Melissa at home.

It is a must for every music lover.

Why a concert like this?...it's really boring.
I think that Melissa is one of the best female rock and roller's, her music it's very good and her lyrics are even better.
When I first bought this DVD, I never realised that she was going to be on stage totally alone, I thought that the tittle was "Live and alone" because she had broked with her partner, but just that.
She sings in this concert al her hits, such as: "Bring me some water", "I'm the only one", "Come to my window" and "I want to come over" (the only hit missing is the Grammy winner "Ain't it heavy"). You can feel the quality of her voice but the concert was so, so, incredibly boring, I mean, can you imagine being seated for 2 hours listening to a person just singing in sort of "Capella style"?. If I would had been in that concert, I thought I would had stand up and leave the building.
As I say, she's great and her latest album "Skin" is wonderful, actually it's my favorite, but don't waste your money buying this extra boring DVD. I hope the her record company releases someday a real concert of her on dvd.

This woman can captivate an audience...
I must first admit that I bought this DVD more for my wife than for me. She's been quite patient with all my purchases of live performances.

With that said, I absolutely loved Melissa's performance. One voice, one guitar and I was hooked. Melissa commands the stage and connects with the audience, at the same time. Not too many artists can successfully do that.

It's a phenomenal performance that is uplifting and emotional. She is a superb song writer and performer. You won't be disappointed.
