Amazon.co.uk Review
If you love concert DVDs that offer first-rate music, excellent sound and picture, a beautiful setting, and substantial bonus features, then Alison Krauss and Union Station Live is destined to become your new favourite. It's not just for bluegrass fans either, as proven by Krauss's crossover success on the smash soundtrack of O Brother, Where Art Thou? as well as her pop-orientated hits such as "Now That I've Found You". That song plus "The Lucky One", "When You Say Nothing at All", and others are the perfect showcase for Krauss's meltingly gorgeous voice, and admirers of the concert's two-CD set will also find out how funny she is in her between-songs banter. AKUS has never been all about Krauss, however, so there are also instrumental jams plus featured spots for other members, including Dan Tyminski on O Brother's rousing "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow".

The second DVD offers 50 minutes of interviews in which all five members plus drummer Larry Atamanuik discuss their influences, their instruments and their favourite songs. There's also backstage and road footage, baby pictures and more. Perhaps the only disappointment is that two songs from the CDs are not included in the concert: "Down to the River to Pray", which is heard over the end credits but not shown on stage, and "There Is a Reason". --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Musicianship of the highest order - perfectly presented., 20 Jul 2003
By P. White (Cambridge, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Alison Krauss And Union Station - Live [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
I'm not a full on fan of bluegrass but I quite like Alison Krauss (primarily after hearing 'Maybe' on a Bob Harris Presents compilation) and so I decided to watch a cut down version of this DVD which recently aired on BBC4. After a few minutes I was hooked and when the show ended I surfed to find a supplier of the discs (for there are two).

Disc 1 is the gig lovingly presented: the original recording was in high resolution video so the transfer (whilst not up to that standard) is pretty darned sharp. The band are simply presented on a stage with no embellishment, heck they are even severely dressed down: Alison Krauss looking like she's taken time off her bar job, but it doesn't matter. What does matter is the performance. The instrumentation is astonishing and vital, the vocalisation stunning. Krauss is a soprano and really knows how to use her voice so combine that fact with the finest of fine bands and you're in for a thing of beauty. Now this is presented in Dolby Digital of course but to my surprise and delight there's also a DTS option which is as clear as the proverbial bell.
Disc 2 is a variety of interviews, promo videos and other useful things.
This really is a good package and a record of a quality gig. It's NTSC and region 0 by the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular, 3 Oct 2004
By Dan Craggs (South Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Alison Krauss And Union Station - Live [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
This really is a DVD of epic proportions. The first disc's concert is absolutely amazing to watch, and of course, listen to. It comprises of TWENTY-THREE of the band's songs, both as a group and from their solo albums.

Not only do you have the best of their previous albums, you have new songs such as 'We Hide & Seek' (Jerry's toe-tapping new instrumental). And yes, 'A Man Of Constant Sorrow' from the hit film 'O Brother Where Art Thou' is included! The intervals between songs will have you glued to the TV even firmer, since there are comments from (and stories about) Alison and the band.

At the end of the concert you will be in no doubt of the band's musical talent, since not only do they play the songs you know from the albums, but you get the atmosphere and variation of a live concert. The majority of the songs sound better played live.

On disc two, we have interviews with the band as a whole, as well as individual interviews with each member. Also on the disc is behind-the-scenes footage from the concert, and the full music video to 'New Favorite'.

Quite simply, this is one DVD you cannot be without.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 30 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Alison Krauss And Union Station - Live [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
Not only is Alison & Union Station so great, the length of the concert (almost 2 hrs) makes this such excellent value for money. The music in all moods is simply the best bluegrass and for me one of the best C & W dvd's ever released.

Buy it !!!!!!!
