Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a huge fan of the Indigo Girls. And I'll stick by my opinion that Amy Ray and Emily Saliers are the best American songwriters today. Therefore, I had been anxiously awaiting the release of "Live at the Roxy", their latest DVD concert release. I watched it last night on my wide screen TV and with the sound turned up satisfactorily loud. I have to say, the whole experience was like being there! The picture quality is crisp and excellent, and the sound is downright perfect. If you are also a fan, then this is the definitive concert release that you must own.
The set list starts out with a number of acoustic versions of their songs. I was particularly happy to hear the songs "Run", "World Falls" (which is my favorite IG song of all-time) and "Money Made You Mean". Early on in the concert, Brandi Carlile joins the girls on stage to add backup vocals. Note: As a special treat later on, you get to hear what Brandi sounds like when she performs one of her songs "Cannonball", and the girls take their turn on backup. I did notice that like their latest albums, the songs seem to alternate between Amy and Emily on lead vocals. No problem with that. They each have their own distinctive quality that makes each of them an outstanding performer.
Things start to rock when Three5Human joins the stage (Brandi Carlile remains as well) and the set list turns more electric. I like the acoustic stuff, but I also like it when the electric guitars come out. From this point on, the build up of energy continues all the way through the end of the show. The versions of "Closer to Fine" and "Tether" are absolutely awesome! The Bob Dylan cover, "Don't Think Twice" was also outstanding.
What can I say? This is one good show!
