User Reviews

As close as you can get to having been there....

I have owned ( and viewed ) this video since it first became available and, having been fortunate enough to have seen Harry perform 11 times I have to say that it is as close to actually being at one of his concerts as you can get. Although the audio quality is mostly below - par, it manages to capture the energy of the band, the enthusiasm of the audience, and the raw, straight - ahead charisma that was Harry Chapin. Even if you are familiar with only a few of the many story - songs he is best remembered for, this recording has the ability to help you understand what made him so popular, and to convert you to being a fan yourself. I am a professional musician ( and avid Harry Chapin fan ), often performing many of his songs and I use this video for both source - material and nostalgia. If you have ever wondered why people talk so warmly about Harry, this video will most probably fill you in. Go ahead - join the 'Circle', you won't regret having this one in your collection!
