4.0 out of 5 stars
Pleasant, but could be better., 29 Jan 2006
If you like Daniel O' Donnell, you may well like this DVD. The collection of songs is lovely to listen to and watch over and over again, as well as to sing along to, as all the songs are well-known.Unfortunately, there are some things that, in my opinion, spoil an otherwise excellent concert. First of all, Mr. O'Donnell's apparent lack of emotion. He does show a bland smile here and there, but his emotions come across as rather artificial. Although I'm sure that he puts a lot of feeling in his singing, this does not show well facially. Another thing is the poor camera work. It made me feel a little dizzy, but then this sort of panning in, out and around seems to be the norm with pop concerts. Finally, there seems to be a lot of reliance on visual effects: dancers whirling around the stage in glaringly bright costumes. I'm not sure that they improve on the quality of the concert. However, if you've had a hard day, put your feet up and play this DVD. You'll feel happy and relaxed afterwards.
