DVD Reviews of Mary Chapin Carpenter - Jubilee (Live at Wolf Trap)

DVD Review: mary chapin carpender - jubilee
Summary: 2 Stars

Too much talking on this DVD. I purchased it mainly to watch/listen to the song Jubilee and even though it's highlighted in the title the song does not appear in its entirety on the DVD. This DVD was a big disappointment.

DVD Review: A giant
Summary: 5 Stars

John Jennings said:"She can decode loneliness like no-one". The deepness of her voice increases that feeling. And when she grabs an electric guitar she can rock you like hell.That's why we can say that she's a giant.Once she had to perform in Paris;I rode three hundred miles to see her...but the concert was cancelled.
So,it's easier to click, don't hesitate to buy this treasure.Andrew Carli, Feves France.

DVD Review: Wonderful Live Concert - High-Quality VHS Tape
Summary: 5 Stars

This concert has Mary Chapin Carpenter at her best. She is at her peak and the setting is ideal. It is very nice to see her perform as she creates the wonderful sound. In this case the video only adds to the sound making it more special.

DVD Review: ubilee-Live At Wolftrap: Sit back and enjoy
Summary: 4 Stars

Saw and met "Chapin" backstage at TNC in NJ a few years back. Have most of her cds. Video and audio are of very good quality on this DVD. Band is solid on individual solos. Favorite track on DVD is where Chapin duets with Shawn Colvin on "That's The Way Love Goes". Only one problem,commentary belongs by itself not between performances.

DVD Review: Too short, bad mix, too bad
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm a big fan of Carpenter, who has developed a nice mix of fine interpretations of other artist's songs and a substantial number of her own. She is a fine live performer and her studio work is high quality. It's not like you have a lot of choices on Mary Chapin Carpenter DVD's, but this DVD has some defects that might give you pause.

Let me say first that there is nothing wrong with her performance or the band. When it's MCP's music that is on screen, it's a lot of fun. But there are three things wrong: (a) it's too short, (b) it's chopped up by interviews, commentary and nattering, and (c) there are segues that make no sense.

Too short: this is a moderately old concert (c. 1995) and the focus in on songs from "Come Con, Come On." There's nothing wrong with that, but a number of fine songs from earlier albums aren't touched, and, of course, thee's nothing from "Party Doll" or "Time * Sex * Love". It's not a ridiculously short playlist, but it's mighty short.

Too chopped up: The DVD seems shorter than it is because it's mixed with interviews, commentary and annoying nattering. It comes across more like a TV special than a concert. Not all of the interviews and commentaries are bad; some is even insightful. But listening to it during a song is doubly annoying.

Bad segues: A specific example - There's a bit with Joan Baez where they talk about songs they've done and you can just sense there's going to be a nice duet. And they talk some more, and Baez shuffles lyric sheets in her laps. And they cut to a song -- and it's just Carpenter. Huh? What?

But as annoying and frustrating as these lapses may be, the DVD still does a fine job of showing MCP in concert, having fun, and making excellent music with a fine band. It just could have been better. Too short, bad mix, too bad.
