DVD Reviews of Harry Chapin - Remember When: The Anthology
DVD Review: Harry Chapin - Remember When: The Anthology
Summary: 5 Stars
The anthology of Harry Chapin's musical stories brim with the soulful magic that defined a very unique master storyteller. This visual remembrance brings true life to timeless songs that still reach us in fresh ways. It is simply hard to imagine life without him, yet here he is with us again. As I listened and viewed Taxi I pondered what might have happened with the three of us in that car, as we drove another 20 years beyond Sequel. Somehow, I believe he would have found the words to warm our hearts and minds, and again fill our imaginations with these wonderful companions in our September days. His stories linger still...and that is a good thing. Thanks kindly Harry.
DVD Review: What a loving tribute to a hero for our times
Summary: 5 Stars
I was fortunate enough to have seen Harry Chapin in concert and that one night will be the benchmark for every concert I will attend for the rest of my life. Chapin was an amazing man and is sorely missed. If he'd died at 110, it would have been too soon.
This loving tribute is from his family: wife, Sandy; daughter, Jen; and son Josh, primarily. The anthology is well worth the price for any Chapin fan. Watch it with tissues close by. You will be sharing both smiles and tears with the people who loved Harry best.

DVD Review: music review
Summary: 5 Stars
what a great performer and storyteller. I love his story songs. you get to know the people of the songs. DVD Review: Mostly Sterile Collection of Video Caliber Performances
Summary: 2 Stars
I was lucky enough to see Harry perform many times before his untimely death and I was really looking forward to watching this as I purchased it & the somewhat maligned Rockpalast DVD together. While I appreciate the family interviews and the biography element contained within (thus 2 stars instead of one), if you are looking for a performance DVD of Harry's music, this is not the one to buy.
Most of the songs look like they are staged live performances of a "Midnight Special" era quality. They are nice, but devoid of the true passion Harry displayed in his live shows. The only songs to have life to them: "Story of a Life", "Circle" & "Better Place to Be" (bonus material) come from "The Final Concert" footage that I believe is only available on VHS tape (could be wrong about that).
If you want to see Harry in his element, interacting with the audience as only he could, find a copy of "The Final Concert" and savor the experience. If you want to see Harry as the Master Storyteller he was, get the "Rockpalast" DVD. As many have noted, the production value of that video is mixed but the song selection is generous and with Harry left without an audience to tell jokes to as he normally would (German audience is mildly responsive at best), he instead resorts to telling his stories with great passion. I will watch that DVD, even with its faults, many times. This one (Remember When) will sit on the shelf unwatched again or get donated to some charity after it collects enough dust.
I can not fully express how disappointed I was with this DVD. Every performance (not taken from "The Final Concert") pales in comparison to others available. Truly a shame.
