Peter Cetera with Special Guest Amy Grant: Live in Concert... [Blu-ray]

I know this is a re-release of a concert that's about a decade old now, but I never saw the original, so this was a new show for me, and it turned out to be a real treat. Amy Grant opened the event with 3 good tunes, including Baby Baby. Then Peter Cetera took over, singing his big hits as a solo artist, as well as a few from his Chicago days. Both artists were in good voice. Cetera had a large orchestra accompany him, giving a different, fuller sound to some of his songs. Blu-ray really enhances the viewing experience. The only thing I found annoying to watch is Peter Cetera's tendency to jerk his head after singing a few words, which he did so often. Other than that distraction, I'm happy with my purchase and will definitely be watching it again soon.

I agree with just about all the reviews. Peter and Amy are great. Excellent quality video and sound. Great songs except one missing. Too short. But am I the only one that doesn't get the sound from the solo cellist on the last song in 5.1? Can hear him on PCM but not 5.1

This is one of the most outstanding televised concert productions I have seen......extraordinary lighting, sound and camera work. The production values are so good that this event almost has a 3-D visual effect. The viewer really feels they are in the front row and center as Peter Cetera and Amy Grant both perform some of their best known works. Grant is really the opening act.....the concert would have been so much more effective if Cetera and Grant co-starred as equals. Nonetheless, you will be treated to thrilling renditions of Grant's "El Shaddai" and Cetera's "You're The Inspiration." The musicians are backed by elaborate strings and horn sections. It just doesn't get any better than this. This has the PBS stamp of quality on it.....you will not be disappointed.

Muy bueno.

I love Peter Cetera and Amy Grant, but the concert felt a little dull. Great songs to sing to, but the production value was a little bit underwhelming.

I really like this DVD -- good music. Couple of qualms, however. If you watch it, watch it in stereo and 5.1 surround -- in stereo, the voices have an "auditorium" sound -- in 5.1, the singer's voice has no reverb and really doesn't sound as good. Also, as much as I liked all of Cetera's songs with the full orchestra, he really needed to have a drum beat with it -- it really would have made it sound so much better. But still, lots of good music and enjoyable.

"Peter Cetera with Special Guest Amy Grant: Live" is a re-release of an earlier Soundstage blu-ray concert. Amy Grant opens the show with three songs, at about 14 minutes. Baby Baby Simple Things El-Shaddai Peter Cetera's show is about 40 minutes. One Good Woman Glory of Love Restless Heart If You Leave Me Now After All (duet with Kim Keyes) The Next Time I Fall (duet with Amy Grant) Baby, What a Big Surprise You're the Inspiration Have You Ever Been in Love I especially enjoyed El-Shaddai. Ms. Grant sang it in a reverential, spiritual, thankful, soulful and praiseful fashion. Mr. Cetera was mellow and enjoyable. The concert features a large orchestra and a variety of instruments, including the harp, horns, strings, wind instruments, guitars, keyboards/piano, egg shakers, tambourines, and percussion/drums with cymbals. The main concert with Mr. Cetera has more of a classical music flavor rather than a Chicago style, with the instruments being more refined, complementing and highlighting Mr. Cetera's vocals. The total time for this concert is about 54 minutes, so it goes by fast, and I wish it were a little longer, with a few more songs. The blu-ray includes two bonus tracks at 9 and half minutes. 25 or 6 to 4 Even a Fool Can See The two audio options are DTS-MA 5.1 Surround and LPCM Stereo.

The concert is phenomenal, especially in the Blu-ray format. His voice is still powerful and inspiring, even at age 60! The orchestra enhances the arrangements. I have over 100 concerts, and this is in the top three.

Bought as a present.

この頃のPeterさんはどのLIVEも独特の歌い方で、「オリジナルの様に伸ばすところは伸ばして歌ってヨ。」 みたいな気にさせられます。もともとテレビ番組?のせいか、伴奏も今一でそこもガッカリします。 では何が良いのかと言いますと、本物の Amy Grant 嬢の登場なのです。名曲 The Next Time I Fall が代役ではなく 本人の歌声で蘇っているのです。お歳は召されましたが相変わらずキュートで、あのハスキーな歌唱力は健在です。 輸入品なので届くまでに時間が掛かりますが、ライブは少しでも画質の良かろう Blu-Ray をお勧めします。

From all other reviews I agree with them but get ready to be dissapointed. I already own the DVD version of Peter Cetera and let me tell you that the Bonus Song "Hard to say I'm Sorry" is missing on the Blu Ray. What were they thinking about this stupid RIP OFF? Is it Sound Stage who wanted it removed or Peter Cetera telling them to remove it? Honestly I'm SHOCKED with dissapointment because I wanted to see Peter perform this track in HD. As for the rest, I truly enjoyed it.

Reçu en bonne état

excellent
