Not her best interpretations - By: rickshayne, 07 Jul 2008 
Before I go into my opinion: the title of this dvd & the pictures on the front & back sleeve have NOTHING to do with the performance on the disc which was recorded at the Diamonds Awards Concertin Antwerpin 1997.
She has horrible short red hair & a white gown, a fitted top & loose see-through bits made to look like a long skirt, & for the last two bumbers she wears a cheap-looking white fur coat with a silver interior.
After seeing many many live videos on utube by our Dame, this is one of the less intriguing of them all. I found her interpretations to be not the best at all. It's like she was putting the oomph on the last or second-to-last letters/syllables of the sentences, which is personally, annoying, especially when the songs as they are meant to be sung & usually performed by her are exectuted differently. It can be a breath of fresh air if she does it to one or two songs, but she's doing it too often here. She does smile & kids around a lot which is very nice, & totally professional considering the bigger part of the front audience are puppets with no expressions & clap with a bpm of 5. Kudos to her for that.
However, it failed to entertain me as the websurfing has until now, this being my first full-length concert watched on a tv screen & with hifi sound. Hopefully some better performances have been or will be released.
I was happy to see that she closed the show with I AM WHAT I AM which is not listed on the setlist on the box (but then again pretty much all of the sleeve info is wrong).
The concert itself is about an hour long & is broken into bits with some sort of making ofin between a couple of songs, & interviews which are nice.
Our Shirley - By: G. Mccourt, 07 Mar 2008 
This is a good DVD of our Shirley's Music, she certainly can still balst out those tunes & hit those notes. Was a bit disappointed with the concert, the audience looked like they were all asleep, or let out of a local nursing home for the night, but our Shirley was trul amazing

just like a good wine our shirl gets better with age. her live dvds are much better than her c.ds as a live audience seems to bring out the best of her. this dvd is a must for all dame shirley fans.
