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
