 Amazing live performance Aug 14, 2009
I have had this since it was first released. Donna is a phenomenal live performer. She doesn't miss a beat.
 Summer Still A Solid Singer Jun 22, 2009
Ex-disco queen Donna Summer sings her old hits, disco and otherwise, in concert.done a decade ago (man, how time flies!)
This was very good. Summer still has a solid, powerful voice, a nice manner about her, and most of the songs here are just fine. the disco numbers, by now, are nostalgic. Most of them are ones I have enjoyed listening to for years. Donna can still sing them pretty well, perhaps not as well as when she was younger but close enough.
Summer also gives a "testimony" or two. She isn't afraid to show hr Christianity, even in front of a VHS-1 crowd.
In one song, she does a duet with Australian singer Tina Arena, who was very impressive.
The time here goes by quickly so that tells you it's a pretty good concert. I had the VHS of this but now own the DVD which gives a better picture and much better sound.
Pretty good flashback. Aug 05, 2008
I was hoping she would have sang more of her hits than she did, she went off on a tangent and was singing a bunch of songs I never heard of.
I hope they release here current Crayons tour on DVD, I would be first in line to buy.
Rock on Donna!
The only Diva Jun 22, 2008
When I first saw this dvd, I was stunned. What a performance. In 1999 she was 51 years and singing like she was in the eighties. Donna has always been my favourite and I'm glad she's stille going strong. The long version of Last Dance is great and the duet with Tina Arena is suprising to say the least. This is a definite recommendation. The songs are all almost originally sung, and the band performs great. Nice to see her husband in the beackground vocals!!

Summer is coming... Feb 24, 2008
"Live and more encore" is titled as a sequel to Donna Summer's 1978 #1 album "Live and more". Recorded in early 1999 by VH-1, it featured a lovely looking Donna (with a new haircut) largely unchanged by time vocally, singing some of her numerous hits, a few new songs, and some covers. Also very nice is her warm interplay with the audience, especially for songs like "On the radio" and the rapturous welcome given the new song "My life" (a classic ballad/dance anthem). It must be noted that some versions of the songs here are edited differently from those on the accompanying "Live and more encore" CD. Examples are "MacArthur Park", "Hot stuff", and "My life" (which are cut shorter than the CD versions), and "She works hard for the money" which is much longer and features Donna introducing the band.
Featured on the DVD (and not on the CD) are the slightly jazzy standard "Someone to watch over me", the moving autobiographical self penned ballad "If there is music there" (which has Donna wiping away a tear at the end), the gospel "Riding through the storm", the upbeat folk/rock self penned "Don't wanna work", and the lovely pop/soul self penned ballad "Nobody". I ripped these songs for play on my iPod.
The DVD features an autobiography, discography, chart statistics, and you can turn on song lyrics to display while each song is being performed. Also included are two music videos for the new studio recording "I will go with you (Con te partiro)" which earned Donna a Grammy nomination in 2000. The different videos feature alternate versions of the #1 dance hit, and show a stunning Donna with a lovely backdrop of dancers. We also get to see some behind the scene shots; the crowds arriving for the show, Donna arriving, getting dolled up for the show, etc.
An enjoyable concert and a feature filled DVD, well worth it. Donna (at 59) is still touring and putting up an energetic show. Her new CD titled "Crayons" is tentatively scheduled for a May 20 release, and a cut from it, "I'm a fire" (which is vintage Summer) is already scorching up clubs in the US.
