Description
Every Saturday, just before 5 p.m., the crowd in the Fitzgerald Theater settles down and the ON AIR light flashes red and "A Prairie Home Companion" goes out live coast-to-coast on the radio airwaves into the homes and cares of its countless fans, most of whom have never laid eyes on the show. Now, thanks to an innovation called "Video," they can. The disc in this box contains not only audio but also Full-Color Moving Images of a live performance of the radio show, including the signature "News from Lake Wobegon" monologue, a Guy Noir Private Eye thriller, a western episode with Dusty and Lefty, and much more - gospel star Jearlyn Steele, jazz sweetheart Inga Swearingen, killer country band BR549, the distinguished Guy's All Star Shoe Band with piano wizard Richard Dworsky, plus the timeless Tim Russell, insouciant Sue Scott, and sound-effects genii Tom Keith and Fred Newman, and hosted by Garrison Keillor.

Prairie Home companion 30th anniversary season.......2007-03-16

Good variety of a show and really gives you the feel of participating in the show similar to watching the grand ole opry in the theatre. Great way to get the real flavor of the program.

Made me laugh.......2007-01-20

I loved being able to see the radio 'actors' perform a show that I had only been able to enjoy hearing. It was a lot of fun.

Prairie Home Companion - 30th Anniversary.......2007-01-12

We bought this because we enjoy very much the radio show. After seeing the CD, we enjoy the radio programs that much more. Now we hear the different segments of the program and can picture who is doing what. I highly recommend this CD to any one who wants 2 hours of pure entertainment.

A FINE FAMILY MOVIE.......2006-11-03

A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION IS A WONDER. THE SPIRIT OF THE RADIO BASED SHOW HAS BEEN CAPTURED WELL.
I'M SO HAPPY THAT THE ORIGINAL CAST WAS USED AS WELL AS LILY TOMLIN, MERYL STREEP, JOHN C. REILLY AND WOODY HARRISON. THEY HAVE ADDED TO THEIR STATURE CONSIDERABLY WITH THEIR PERFORMANCES.
AS A TWENTY YEAR LISTENER TO THE SHOW, IT IS A PLEASURE TO WATCH THE SHOW FROM AN IMAGINARY BACKSTAGE PERSPECTIVE.
WELL DONE, ALL INVOLVED

WORST LIVE CONCERT VIDEO BUT HEY IT'S A RADIO SHOW!.......2006-09-13

Forget Altamount, MOnterrey, Hendrix at Berkley, even Woodstock! THIS is the worst filmed live concert EVER! Even if they claim they were trying to copy those historic live filmings (where drunk and high cameramen dropped cameras or went wild with the new zoom lenses or found the WRONG performer) there is no excuse for the lousy filming of this live and heavily scripted concert with NO movement. WHO DID THE EDITTING HERE? and what stock did they work from?

Turn off the video and go audio only and you have a real decent Keillor show, even if they pull their punches for the camera and history. For example: Where's the real cool BUsh jokes?

And lose the white lady singing and just go with the Black woman with the voice of God. aND tell your cameraman how to find that great lap steel player who is NEVER pictured!
