I was really disappointed by the technical and musical quality, 28 January 2003
2/10
Author: Jan Erik Stokke from Oslo, Norway

To make a concert in addition of the usual soundtrack cd was a good idea. But this film doesn´t make it. It is a cheap, low quality attempt to squeeze more money out of "O Brother Where Art Thou".

I like old time music and several of the artist in this concert are among my favorites. But the this concert on DVD is a big disappointment: - Picture: Hand-held cameras with a lot of camera shake and video-noise. And the cameramen doesn´t react to the music. For example when there is a solo by the great dobro-player Jerry Douglas, the camera is still focused on the singer for a while. - Sound: Sound is terrible. It is mostly done with two microphones on stage, which make the sound of many musicians disappear. The sound is harsh and sharp, and bass-notes cannot be heard. A year 2000 concert DVD with only 2 channel sound. - The music and the musicians: There are some great performances here, but mostly the concert is let down by the fact that the artists barely had any rehearsal.

If you want to see what a good concert film should look and sound like, see James Taylor´s concert at the Beacon Theatre.
