Customer Reviews of Windham Hill in Concert

So the editing is weird...Michael Hedges ROCKS!
I grant you, the switching back and forth between the intimate venue and the Red Rocks applause is bizarre...but you know, there's one thing that makes the whole DVD more than worthwhile. That's Michael, having a great time performing. <

>If you're a fan, you absolutely cannot miss this. If you're a guitarist or musician of any kind, do yourself a *tremendous* favor - stop everything you're doing for a few minutes and watch the performance of "Woman of the World." You will be inspired beyond belief. This is the kind of engagement with the music that I think we all seek - to move with it, to let our voices tremble in just the right spot...to create our own little world of sound and motion, and to let the audience join us there. <

>Don't let yourself miss out on this one. If you feel have to put it on your Wish List until your next paycheck, fine...but don't let it sit there! This is one purchase you will not regret!

Bought this to see Michael Hedges
This is obviously a studio recording that switches to applause from a live audience at the end of each song, which is strange and depressing. This is proof that there exists additional video from many live Michael Hedges concerts. Hedges has been gone for 7 years and not much else has been released. Jimi Hendrix fans had to wait 30 years before legal battles were won by the Hendrix family and we began to finally see new releases. Must all Hedges fans endure the same fate? A CD or DVD with even one Hedges song on it is worth owning, so this DVD is a must have. Windham Hill, please open your vaults and stop hoarding this material! If you created a CD or DVD for every Hedges concert you have, I'd buy them all.

Get it for Hedges only
As another reviewer noted, the silliness with the cutting from a clearly indoor, small house performance to a stadium setting was awfully amateur. And quite pointless. The Ackerman, Shadowfax, and Cossu pieces were nice, but, for myself, hardly worth buying a DVD for (I have CDs of the same songs).

The Michael Hedges pieces are a completely different story, however. Even though I'd say that he is quite good, but not *his* very best in this concert, seeing the Master perform is worth the price of three DVDs or more. Only by seeing his amazing technique, his incredible living fusion with the guitar, can one begin to appreciate what kind of talent was in this man. And it is only a short glimpse.

I've been lucky to see him in concert three times, and he always reminded me why there are guitar virtuosos, and then there is Michael Hedges. A wonderfully childlike genius ball of dancing energy and creativity.

Buy it to get some of the few visual recordings of the man who did indeed reinvent the acoustic guitar.
