Disco de Dolly Parton: “Live and Well [DVD]”

First of all this is simply a GREAT CD! Dolly's live show is a show worth catching. For years one of my favorite Dolly concerts was her long deleted "Dolly In London" video from 1983. At long last we have another live recording that equals that show. This concert recorded during Dolly's "Halos & Horns" tour from 2002 show she hasn't lost a single thing. Dolly jokes between the songs and you can tell she is having a blast, as such the audience is too. Something some of the newer artists might want to learn.

The set list for this show is somewhat interesting in that there aren't really a whole lot of hits. "Coat Of Many Colors", "Applejack", "9 To 5, "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You" are really her only "hits" included. There is an a capella medley of four other hits, but for the most part these are all newer songs from the Dolly canon. By the way, in the medley she and her singers do a sped up snippit of "Two Doors Down" that you have to hear to belive, it really does sound like she's on the wrong speed. She did this same thing years ago with "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind", so it's cool to hear her do it again on something new.

Dolly today sounds just as fresh and vibrant as she did twenty or thirty years ago. Her jokes are corny but she knows that and has fun with it. If you're a Dolly fan you will love this album.

My prayers have been answered! Finally a Dolly Parton concert on DVD. I was very excited to get this DVD. Dolly Parton is one of my favorite performers, and having not seen her live in concert, this is definately the next best thing. The songs range from early hits like "9 to 5" and "Jolene", to newer classics like "Marry Me", "Dagger Through The Heart" and "I'm Gone". She does an emotional reading of her hit "I Will Always Love You", which in my opinion is way more meaningful and well done than Whitney Houston's version. It's great to hear her put her stamp on others classics like "Stairway to Heaven", "After The Goldrush", "If". She also spends a lot of time talking and joking with the crowd. A wonderful DVD to add to your collection!

Finally a Dolly DVD! This DVD is everything that you would expect from Dolly. That incredible voice, the "down-home" humor, mountain music and of course that infamous figure. In other words, the dvd is PURE DOLLY!

This concert was recorded Live at the Dollywood Theater on December 12th & 13th 2002. This concert was part of Dolly's Halos & Horns tour. I saw her during this tour in London in november 2002. It was an absolutely thrilling, emotional, suprising and funny evening. One of the best concerts I ever saw. I am glad this concert is finally out on DVD.

The Halos & Horns tour was Dolly first tour in more than 10 years......and it was worth waiting for!!!!!

The concert features songs from her albums "the grass is blue". "Little Sparrow" and "Halos & Horns" plus some of her classic hits.

I recommend this DVD to everybody....you will enjoy it. Also check out the Live-CD of Dolly's same concerttour

Dolly is a true artist. Her voice is excellent for a country music singer. I enjoy to listen her songs over and over again. Especially her songs can make me relax and release my daily stresses.
