Incredible - By: James, 05 Jun 2007 
If there is such a thing as perfection this is it. A sincere & very emotional performance, Christy couldn't possibly give any more. The quality of the DVD, both visual & audio is excellent. I rented this DVD from Amazon, now I'm going to buy it.
Something to be cherished - By: The Kinniburgh Kid, 06 Oct 2006 This disc captures is a great live performance with the added bonus of a commentary track, extra songs from the sound check (nothing second rate or second class about them) & a documentary. For Christy fans it is a joy to have record of him working so well, for newcomers or even those just interestedin great live performances this dvd is well above average,
I first came across Christyin the early Nineties & saw him live soon after at the Albert Hall. Solo, just a man & a guitar, he more than filled that huge room with sound & - more importantly - charm & emotion. I've been hooked since, but not always totally convinced by his studio albums. Live shows seem to bring out the bestin him & this oh so brilliantly made dvd of a recent concertin Dublin captures the magic.
These days he performs with long time friend & associate Declan Sinnot who is one of those quiet, unassuming looking types that pulls all kinds of emotion from a guitar, seemingly without even trying. Combined with Christy's voice & commitment to every line it is a beautiful sight & sound.
Sound quality is top notch & the filming & editing intimate but never intrusive.
I earnestly hope he goes on playing for decades to come, but as this is - as far as I can tell - the only film of him live, it is appropriately a very good record of a great live performance.
Live and still kicking! - By: Macgregor, 19 Apr 2006 If your a fan of Christy you'll love this. If your not a fan you will be converted. Recorded live at the Point depotin Dublin the DVD is essentailly edited highlights of the the 4 nights of shows Christy performed with his long time musical partner, Declan Sinnott. It shows the man at the pinnacle of his career performing a wide range of songs with passion & conviction. It also gives us a glimpse of his more vulnerable side. The man has beenin the game for 40+ years & is awe inspiring especially when you consider he's eligible for his free bus pass.
The DVD contain 20 songs from the concert, some songs from the soundcheck & a short 20 min documentary. In the documentary he talks about how singing a song is the only way he can get out of it any more, how he needs the audience to deliver a performance & how the meaning of song can be revealed as he sings them. Wise words from a wise man.
But this before it's deleted!!
