Customer Reviews of Nanci Griffith: One Fair Summer Evening - Live
A magical evening captured on video. Recorded in the summer of 1988 at Anderson Fair, Houston's modest yet legendary venue for singer-songwriters, this concert video has an intimate aura about it, yet it leaves a grand impression. The spare musical accompaniment , consisting of Nanci's guitar and the incomparable James Hooker's keyboards, only serves to highlight the richness of Ms. Griffith's wonderful voice. (Watch this concert video, and you may well decide that most of Nanci's studio recordings are overproduced.) Backup singers Denice Franke and Doug Hudson add lovely, but unobtrusive backup vocals on some of the songs.
Most of the songs on the video were composed by Ms. Griffith, but the two covers included, "Deadwood, South Dakota," by ex-husband Eric Taylor, and "From a Distance," by Julie Gold, do nothing to diminish the magic of the evening. (I love Bette Midler and her booming, lusty voice, but doggone it, I think it borders on a crime against nature that most folks associate the song with Bette's later recording, and not with Nanci's magical treatment. I mean, c'mon.)
The video includes two songs not included on the CD: a traditional cowboy number, playfully sung without musical accompaniment; and the touching, wistful "There's a Light Beyond These Woods, Mary Margaret."
In a fair and just world, Nanci Griffith would be a household name, and Madonna would be waiting tables. At least we have this video to show that artistry will often triumph over marketing, at least in our hearts.
simply the best music video i've seen
nanci griffith is at her very best in this video. every song is beautifully arranged and performed. i watch this one over and over again.
Questionable video quality, great songs!
I really like the music on this video. Too bad the quality of the video is fair at best. The video showcases some of Nanci's best songs with wonderful singing and playing. I wish the video company would have done a better job with quality. It is a 5-star video with 3-star video quality. Two stars docked for a hard to watch but wonderful to listen to video!
