Movie Reviews

Bonnie Raitt working the ropes....
J. Bilby | Kingston, New Hampshire United States | 06/02/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Its about time some 70's Bonnie Raitt surfaced. I don't feel

this show captured Bonnie at her best but it does a nice job

of showing her un-polished R&B rootsy styles she did such a great job doing effortlessly. I first saw a live Raitt show

in Boston 1975 @the Music Hall and that show just blew this

one to pieces but this is a nice bit of history for Bonnie fans.

She really had a much better command of her vocals during this

time period, I think she may have been touring all over the

place and her voice shows it here and there. The 1991 shows

are a totally different Bonnie Raitt. Her stage presense and

vocals just flow and her slide guitar smokes & the band is one of the best out there at

the time, they did everything from funked up rock to back porch country blues, you name it Bonnie is so smooth yet at the

top of her game. This

is a collectors items not to be missed. Just taking in the

sounds from the 70's, the clothes and all its great, looking

forward to the new "SOULS ALIKE" coming from Bonnie this

Sept!"
Bonnie Raitt & band in their prime
Nagronsky | Skagit Valley, Wa USA | 07/24/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is heavy on material from "Home Plate" and "Sweet Forgiveness", & thankfully is from the pre-cocaine days. Watching this was like a look back at a slimmer, less-gray me. The performance is A1, and both the audio & video recording are excellent. The extras from '91 are OK, too, but this from 1977 is when I saw Bonnie & band every time I could for at least 8 or 9 years. I watched this for this first time with my best friend, and she was almost in tears she was digging it so much. Needless to say, I had to buy myself a new copy the next day, as I didn't have the heart to take this away from her. Just buy it."
BONNIE'S EARLY-PERIOD PEAK
NYC Music Lover | New York, NY United States | 12/13/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Anyone who is a die-hard Bonnie fan should enjoy this DVD.

I feel a particular nostalgic twinge watching it because it

was recorded about a month before I first saw her in concert.

This performance captures a younger Bonnie ripping through a

"best-of" her early material. Many of my favorites of that

period are included: "Give It Up Or Let Me Go", "Love Me

Like A Man", "Home" and especially "Good Enough", the song

that SHOULD have been her first hit. You'll chuckle at the

primitive visuals: strange, extreme closeups, her bassist

Freebo's "Roseanne Roseannadanna" haircut, and those stage

lights which have that 70's latenight TV Record Promo "twinkle".

BUT, Bonnie's vocals and smoking guitar playing were as great

then as they are now. This is truly a lost treasure for long-

time fans, and something that newer fans should find very

enjoyable. Almost 30 years after this was filmed, Bonnie Raitt

is still one of a kind!"
