Title: Did I watch a different DVD than you 5-star reviewers?
Review: Make no mistake, I wanted to like this DVD a lot, but there's no getting around the fact that at 65+ y.o. Marty's voice is pretty much shot, at least in a live setting. Yeah sure, the video production is amateur all the way, but if he had sounded halfway decent in the Boston show, I could have overlooked all that. He did not. I've heard other examples of this on the Mick's Picks live CD set from 2007. You find yourself being embarassed for the guy cuz he was one of the great ones. And yet his studio CD's from the past decade are pretty good.....go figure.There are some bonus tracks from other places, and two of them, Fitzgerald's 2006 and Madison, WI, 2007, are just him and Slick Aguilar, and they're not bad. He doesn't reach for the moon vocally. Plus in Madison he sings a version of "Somebody to Love" which was worth getting the DVD just for that, very nice.
Is the review positive or negative?
