Description of Dido Live (DVD/CD Set):
Recorded at London's Brixton Academy in 2004, Dido Live draws on material from 1999 debut No Angel and 2003 follow-up Life for Rent. As she notes early in the show, "It's very nice to be in a place where I've seen hundreds and thousands of gigs." Dido and five-piece band--including two percussionists--proceed to execute a tight 14-song set, touching on favorites like "Thank You" (famously sampled by Eminem for "Stan") and "White Flag," followed by a three-song encore. In David Barnard’s soft focus film, the singer/songwriter mostly swings and sways to the music, joining in on keyboards for "Do You Have a Little Time" and acoustic guitar for "Mary's in India" and "See the Sun." Highlights include the driving "See You When You're 40" and trip-hop rave-up "Honestly OK." The DVD is packaged with a CD featuring 12 tracks from the same three-night engagement (in slightly altered sequence). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Dido Live (DVD/CD Set) Reviews:
DiDo Is AN Anglophile Music Lover's Jewel In The US
2009-09-22 - Dido, who first caught my eye when a few years she put down a haunting and mesmerizing track on an Eminem rap entry, is now an international superstar. Her stage presence, the sometimes gloomy content of her material and the feature she retains of being fit and energetic all adds up to her aura of enthusiastic and then sometimes blue eyed soul aspect of her delivery. Of note is Lily Allen, also another UK phenomenon that continues to take on the world. If you are old enough to remember Dusty Springfield and the effect she had on her motley ethnic audience we have to assume that there is something in the water in the UK that has always been responsible for astounding musical ability and talent. This DVD exemplifies that idea and is produced perfectly because I know that Dido has precise management all though does not overdo the PR. FYI, if you wish, I have posted another Dido review recently on my Amazon reviewer site should you wish additional opinion and information.

well worth having!
2009-02-21 - A very well presented video of her concert .....sound quality and video quality is tops....10 out of 10. She really communicates..if you haven't seen Dido live, then this is the dvd for you. (be careful..you will be one of millions of guys that fall hopelessly in love with her sometimes brash...other times gentle, but always engaging personality!) And be sure to watch her percussionist!..i want her job as much as I want the job of Pink Floyd's percussionist on the Pulse DVD!

Dido live rocks
2008-12-12 - Includes songs from "No Angel" and "Life for Rent". Watch the DVD for info on a few of the songs. Then listen to the CD and enjoy.

Good performance - Good sound quality
2008-08-28 - If you like Dido, you need this DVD/CD. The band is excellent. Dido's voice is smooth and soothing as usual, and the more you watch the concert, the more you will like the music. The addition of back-up singers would be a real plus in my opinion, but all in all, a great performance.

Fantastic Performance! Great Sound! Buy this DVD!
2008-07-07 - What can I say? This is possibly the best live recording I've seen! On par with Kasey Chambers' Behind the Barricades PAL DVD and Fleetwood Mac - The Dance, which are also outstanding.

I didn't notice the alleged spyware on the CD, since I have a Mac. Ripped both the DVD and the CD and put them on the AppleTV. Quality is pretty good for such a dark concert. Mostly, this sounds like an improved version of the actual studio recordings, with quite a bit more energy (after the first two songs).
