k.d. lang: Live in London with the BBC Concert Orchestra

I've been listening to k.d. lang for many years, but never seen her in concert. What a fantastic concert!! A consummate performer, she is all about the music. Audio is excellent as is video. Lighting is superb. I agree with the reviewer who said: 'demo disc quality'. It is evident that some guiding hand controlled a whole lot in this concert to this smallest detail from the small subdued audience to the outdoor lighting behind the strings. I think it could have benefitted from more audience spontaneity, or are Brits just that much more reserved than we?Why only 4 stars? Not possible to give 4.5. I take .5 point off for what has been missing in many concert BDs. Nowhere in the case is there a listing of songs! One has to click the 'pop up menu' and scan the list up a menu line or two. Also, nowhere on the disc that I can find is there information about the song (e.g the writer, or which CD it appeared on). I'd think that songwriters would protest!

If you're a KD Lang fan don't hesitate to buy this disc. She is possibly the best singer I have ever heard. Every song is filled with feeling and her performance appears almost effortless. KD gets into character for each song, whether it's a sad song like "wash me clean" or a upbeat song like "constant craving." She's just amazing. Her band is top notch and they use real instruments (with the exception of a keyboard that's used sparingly). And the orchestra accompanies every song (it's nice to hear real strings).I wasn't a big fan of KD's Watershed album, but she plays a few songs from that album in this concert and I got to see them in a new light. There's one track that they could have left out, "Paydirt," since it doesn't really match the feel of the rest of the concert. All of the other songs are great- and there's a lot of them!The DTS Master Audio is outstanding. The 16 bit/48khz 5.1 mix is almost perfect (I don't know why they didn't take full advantage of the DTS MA at 24bit/192khz). I think the volume level on KD's voice slightly overpowers the instruments (yes, I know she's the main event!), but the band, orchestra, and backup singers are mixed extremely well. Overall, the video quality is excellent. There are some shots where the video shakes a little, but it's infrequent and lasts for only a few seconds.To sum up, this concert is spectacular. I highly recommend it.

We have been bowled over by the performance on this program and we do not get tired of watching it. Not infrequently, we find friends and relatives who like kd lang. If they are at our home, we tell them: Have we got a treat for you!We pop this in our BluRay player and within seconds we are showing off our surround sound system. Then kd's performance takes the cake. We've seen this disc at least a dozen times and never get tired of it. My personal favorites are Western Stars and Hallelujah. But there isn't one track that I don't enjoy watching and hearing ... over and over.Ms. Lang's voice, as others have noted, is spectacular. Her performance is a lesson in how to simply "own" an audience with total self-confidence. Her relationship with her band is a joy to observe. And the BBC Concert Orchestra gives her a great backup. The venue where this performance took place is interesting in itself, a former church.In short, this is one of the best discs we own.

I was lucky to find a couple of dvd of kd Lang’s music and live shows and i am great to seller for sending them in good condition

The only thing I could wish for in this concert has to be some of my favorite songs instead of a few in the program.The singer and musicians are doing a top performance, as are the production team. As a result, you will see a lot of details while happening, which is not taken for granted when recording events like this.The sound is very well produced. K D Lang has her own way of telling stories.It strikes me you could do a lot of practice to become rather splendid on you instrument. You will be able to copy a lot of good musicians.But you will probably never be able to copy K D Lang`s instrument.

You need to be a fan of kd Lang's voice, and if you are. YOU MUST OWN THIS. The music is wonderful, her performance flawless, the visuals relaxing and as close as you could be to actually joining the gang at the church in London where this was filmed. It shows off her incredible talents and will also show off the talents of your blu-ray and sound system. There a several big songs here, my favorite would be "The Valley" but I am sure you will find your own. Well worth the money. Pour some wine, turn off the phone and enjoy.

DTS-HD master audio is spacious with tight, deep bass and plenty of air between the instruments. Gigantic sound stage, especially when string section joins in. Vocal recording is dry with incredible nuance. You could literally hear her whisper above the full band & orchestra. Demo disc quality. Video is a little soft compared to, say, a nature documentary, but is basically crystal clear. Performance features stunning vocals & a very talented band. You probably either hate or love KD Lang but even home theater enthusiasts who are not into her music should consider owning this disc. This is a new standard for blu-ray concerts.

What a great DVD! It was recorded in a quaint oldEnglish church. You feel like you are right in front ofher. It is a small, intimate portrait of one of pop's greatestvoices. Outstanding audio and visual effects.The song list will leave you cast in her spell. Helpless andHallelujah are majestic. It is a perfect unionof song and performer. She is backed by the BBC ConcertOrchestra. She performs 21 songs which includehits from her successful career. This is the best k.d. LangDVD on the market. It is truly a magicallistening and viewing pleasure.

I live in so-called an Another European country and probably I can't never see her live performance.This blu-ray is like live. Great concert, enjoyable atmosphere. If you like K.D. Lang, then you like this concert too.(Sorry, I used google translator :))

Hello,This dvd arrived on time and in good condition. k.d. Lang always puts on a good show and her voice is superb. This is a small venue and very intimate. I enjoyed it very much.Sincerely,C.D.

...finally on DVD!Another harvest of inner and most deeply emotions by KD Lang in this DVD live with BBC Orchestra.A must for everyone who loves KD, another example of how God works misterously in our lives to give us a trace of ist existence.Perfection exists: her name is KD Lang.

Awesome production - crystal clear video and superb audio. K.D. Lang's performance is really good. DVD is as good if not better than the Boz Scaggs DVD he made from San Francisco several years ago (my other favourite). K.D.'s performance of Leonard Coen's Alleluia is powerful and beautiful. A must have for anyone who collects DVD Music no matter what their musical taste.

it is to bad that some people don't like her for who she is and I think it has taken away from some of the great work that she has done this is another great concert of hers I don't think she has ever had a bad one love all of her stuff you go girl
