Fantastic.......2007-01-16

I saw K.D. Lang in person in May of 2005. She was great, & has the most beautiful voice. Very energetic. She had the crowd in her hands. Also got her autograph & some pictures. The DVD is awesome.When she sings Crying, you shiver.

k d defines versatility 'live' and has an affecting voice.......2005-09-11

k d 'sings all kinds' as Tony Bennett says of her . This DVD shows a singer who revels in live performance and knows how to connect with an audience . She makes you a part of the show and having seen her live with Tony back in 2003 I look forward to the next time .

k d lang sings rock/pop , country and jazzy numbers . Other songs I could only classify as being in 'her' style . She is obviously a sensual person and that could be part of the act , but I believe it is her enjoying being herself .

Her voice affects me like Aretha Franklin's and I believe that is the main reason to listen to any singer - to get that goosebump feeling on your skin .

Take a chance on this DVD and enjoy k d 's artistry .
k d lang is an artist - fully deserving of the description .

This woman's voice is U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E.......2004-03-29

YOU MUST EXPERIENCE THIS. Undoubtedly one of the top top top voices ever! I HAVE HARDLY EVER HEARD A VOICE SO STONG, EXPRESSIVE, AND GIFTED ---- she's up there with CELINE DION, ETTA JAMES, KAREN CARPENTER, WHITNEY HOUSTON, YMA SUMAC, MARIAH CARAY, ARETHA FRANKLIN, AGNETHA FALTSKOG, and even MARIA CALLAS! The great thing is that sge has characteristics of all these voices at times. She is perhaps the most dimesional voice EVER!

Beyond Diva.......2002-06-12

Being a female singer does not automatically qualify one to be a "diva". All of those VH1/MTV diva shows have made the term synonymous with "run-of-the-mill". Too bad, because there is a REAL Diva out there, worthy of the accolade.

Enter k d lang. I saw her live shortly after the release of Ingenue. Her show is in the top five of my 35 years as an avid concert attendee. She is surpassed only by Springsteen. Ms.lang is the only performer I've seen that is able to hold an audience so spellbound that no one would applaud for fear that we might miss the final utterance of her voice. When we were sure she was finished with a number, only then would the house be on their feet. A truly incredible experience.

"Live by Request" does a good job of capturing what I experienced. Watch her sing "Crying" or "COnstant Craving" and you're mesmerized. CAtch her Miss Chatelaine routine and you get a glimpse at her charm and humor. SHe does everything gracefully, without pretension. And every song comes from within her soul.

If you don't see kd live atleast treat yourself to this show. You will have the word "Diva" redefined once and for all.
