Randy Travis Album: “Live: It Was Just a Matter of Time [Video/DVD]”

The long awaited live concert of Randy Travis is finally here. And it was well worth the wait. It is fan-tastic. The acoustics are masterful, lighting is magnificent and the choreography flows so smoothly it is hard to believe that you are not right there in the audience. Veteran live album director Steve Binder has done a stand-up job with this performance. Nothing short of genius. The camera shots, zooms and pans are so creative at times you are right there in front of Randy. Randy's intro is astounding complete with fog and back lighting. I have not experienced this kind of excitement in a live album since Mr. Binder's documentary of Elvis Presley. For me, this album rates as high as Elvis'. Randy is at his most creative, energetic and exuberant. His performance is warm, funny and engaging. He is at home with his audience and performing at his best. Once more his audience is lively, responsive and engaged in his every move. Not subdued like in a lot of live concert performances. The musician's harmonies and performance is outstanding. You can tell that they really enjoy performing with Randy. They are at home with innovative musical style. To conclude this experience, don't miss the bonus material of former President Bush's insight into the real Randy Travis. Randy's own interview gives you insight into the creativity and depth of this man's thoughts. You can grasp a real feeling of genuineness and the love that he has for his music and his acting; especially westerns and being a cowboy at heart. His fondness for his fans and his sincere Christian faith will touch each person's heart. For Randy, it is not being a star or a performer, for none of that has affected him. It is the flood of love outpouring from his fans and the enjoyment of being able to be with them and entertain them that keeps this cowboy going. Randy may admit to being every parent's nightmare when he was a teenager but he truly has everyone's love and admiration now. He is every parent's dream child and a mentor for every parent to point their child towards. It is a must have for every RT fan. If you are not an RT fan, don't worry, you will be after you see this performance.

You can't imagine how wonderfull is for someone living in southern Europe where country music concerts are almost non existent, to watch a DVD with the quality sound and image of this one. I hope many other country music artists can do the same: To record a high quality DVD that brings to your home a concert or concerts you don't have the oportunity to see, specially if you don't live in England, Ireland or Holland. Thanks, Randy!

I attended the Ft Worth concert he did here in April, 2002 and this DVD is just like the real thing!! Its totally awesome, dont miss it!!

This was another of Randy's excellent peformances! My husband and I recently saw Randy Travis (again) in live concert, and this CD just re-captured his wonderfully talented voice, his boyish charm and appeal, and it brought back such fond memories of his live performance for us. There just is no other voice quite like Randy's and as soon as he begins to make a sound you know who it is! "It's just a matter of time"...! We also enjoyed the back-stage relevations by Randy; he's just a good ol' country boy at heart and he's down right human!

I had forgotten how wonderful Randy Travis sounds live. This video reminded me. I just sat in awe of the talent this guy has! He can sing a song technicaly very well, and at the same time, tug your heart strings. I was reminded of how a warm and charming person Randy Travis is and how well he can sing. Amazing.....truly amazing.
