This is What A Concert DVD Should Be! Feb 21, 2007
When "White Ladder" came out I was lent a copy to listen. I was curious to hear more and after buying a copy for myself I soon bought "Lost Songs". Then by chance stumbled across "Live at the Point" and thought "Why Not? I love his stuff so far and have yet to see him in action". That was one of the best purchases I could have made. I am since one of his biggest fans. Right from the beginning you are swept up in the energy of his music and performance. He surprised me at first with his "bobble head". I wondered how he could do that and sing at the same time. By the end of the first song though I had not only gotten use to it but noticed myself doing to as well. That's the great thing about Grays music, You can't help but be moved and feel every song, fast and slow, through your soul. This concert takes you on a great journey of emotions and the audience treats every song with reverence and participation by mouthing the words or clapping along. I was amazed at how even the songs from "White Ladder" that I had listened to hundreds of times by then seemed fresh and new with these live versions. I have since found that either due to his creativity or his need to play older songs in a new way that Gray is constantly tweeking certain songs thereby ensuring new versions found on this disc. You won't be able to take your eyes and ears away once this concert starts and you'll feel you appreciation of good music enriched by the end of it. Another part of this disc that I cherish just as much as the concert is the bonus documentary that can proceed your viewing of the concert. It's full of the behind the scenes stuff I adore. Not only do we get to hear how people feel about him before the "White Ladder" success and people explaining how good music makes them feel but we also see Gray doing the smaller venues like clubs,bookstores and radio shows. The film does an excellent job of helping you to feel what it's like to walk in Grays shoes as he climbs the slow ladder of success and how music is his true calling. For me,as a fellow musician, I find it insperational and motivating. In a day an age where there is so much room on a DVD there is no good reason why all concert DVDs shouldn't have wonderful things like this attached.

A gem unearthed Nov 25, 2003
Since inadvertently hearing a few tracks from the breakout self produced White Ladder in a music store I have been quite interested in exploring more from this artist. Unsure what to expect from the DVD, I was more than surprised at what this man brought to the table. The setting is perfect, a small (8000) person venue in an atmosphere that was a breeding ground for new fans to be born. Ireland is passionate about DG and it shows in the faces, the singalongs and the emotions. Then wham! Song after song after song, each one with it's understated beginnings but easily finds its way to the hook. The energy and excitement eminate from DG and his bandmates with his writing partner Clune showing grace and an ecclectic style that makes you grin from ear to ear. It's obvious that the partnership DG and Clune share is more equal than not. Clune is able to keep DG focused within the rhythms but allows for DG's excitement to burst through. The visuals are not necessary to enjoy this concert but do provide a look into a moment in time that is able to show someone on the verge of making the record companies eat their words. DG is unassuming in his approach and handles the crowd with schoolboy like charm. From the opening "Sail Away" to the up tempo "Please Forgive Me", these songs contain exceptional lyrics coupled with a lyrical structure that enhances each track. The song list is selected from his entire collection and provides the first time listener with an overview of what to expect if one was to delve deeper into the talent of DG. In some songs, i.e. "Late Night Radio" his brazen use of obscure chord pairings show his experimental stylings that keep DG from being relagated to average status. While others, i.e. "Shine" are unique variations of traditional progressions. Overall, too many notables to mention. This is a great collection from an up and better be coming artist. North America certainly could use a few large doses of David Gray. The music is what this DVD is all about and does not disappoint.
