Very Engaging and Uplifting
If you're someone who likes to watch concert DVDs or music videos while you do your cardio, the last 25 minutes of side two are AWESOME for that. The time will fly by and you'll be left feeling so uplifted.
As for the DVD in general, Gloria looks beautiful and sounds great. And her interaction with her band and with the audience is fantastic.
good Gloria Estefan concert
This is a good Gloria Estefan concert DVD. Has a lot of her big hits from the 80s and 90s.
Absolutely Fabulous...!!!!
This concert was recorded in Miami.. It's Miami Sound Machine's home town.. The concert is really one of the best concert I've ever watched.. ABSOLUTELY FAOULOUS..!!! Thank you Gloria & Miami Sound Machine..
A great musical event, GE fan or not.
While I have always considered Gloria Estefan a closet weakness of mine (sort of how I actually like SPAM but still hide it in my shopping cart...) I must say that this is one fantastic DVD. Whether you think you like Gloria or not, you are likely to enjoy this show. Here's why:
1. High energy performance. It's clear that everyone involved in this show was enjoying themselves and works hard to put on an exciting performance. This concert features 17 musicians, including three percussionists, a 5-piece brass section in additional to the standard accouterments. It's an exciting show to watch.
2. Talent. Assembled on this stage is a top notch band, hands down. The percussion is excellent and the brass is spectacular. The song choices and their arrangements take full advantage of the talent on stage.
3. Arrangement. Yep, hands down the best arrangements of most of these songs I have ever heard. I love horns and percussion, which is one of the reasons I am drawn to jazz and latin music - especially styles with cuban roots - and the arrangements in this show are fantastic. The live aspect allows for so much more depth in the music and arrangements and for that this performance provides more than any other concert video I've seen. It's outright addictive.
4. Sound: Contrary to some of the other reviews, I found the sound quality on this DVD to be excellent. The mix is good, both on the 5.1 and stereo tracks. I burned the soundtrack to mp3s and it's great to just listen to, so I really think they nailed it on the sound for this one, especially compared to other live recordings which are usually disappointing for sound quality. Not so in this case, it sounds great.
5. Editing: While I would like to see longer and more plentiful shots of the musicians, this DVD does not have the ever-so-annoying MTV style of editing where they never let you see anything for more than a few milliseconds. This video's camera takes are long enough to enjoy without getting boring or feeling like you have attention defecit. Not a gold medal for editing, but again, compared to most of the concert videos out there that should have gotten thrown out of the competition, this one at least scores a bronze.
6. Emotion. Clearly this was the culmination of a tour and all seem to be happy to be performing in front of the home audience. This may seem a cheesy sentiment, but it makes for an intense, heartfelt performance.
All around this is simply a great show. Completely addictive. It's got fun, feeling, and flash, executed with exceptional talent and energy. Enjoy!
Very nice
