Title: Lacking the Fire
Product review: I too was very disapointed with the DVD version of Spirit. I have the VHS original and have watched the performance, spellbound, each and every time since I first saw the performance on PBS. The DVD version is a ghost of the original. It lacks power, and cohesion. Gone are the brilliant dance segments. The performance has lost the rhythm and fluidity which made the original so powerful and deeply profound. I found the visuals to be distracting at best. The feather dancers are wonderful and, thankfully, Chief Pope Hawk remains compelling. With all due respect to the performers and creators there is just no comparison. I'll be looking into someone to copy my VHS to DVD.
