Awesome!.......2007-01-20

This DVD is a lot of fun. Lots of new songs (well, they were new when the DVD came out) and some different versions of the songs we love. If you love Edwin you'll love this DVD. We put it on and play it through the surround sound like a cd. I listened to this the entire time I was pregnant and now my son is soothed when he hears Edwin songs. I wish Edwin would make this DVD in CD version so I can play it in my car.

Edwin is a great songwriter/storyteller/musicain. Live at the House of Blues is a very good DVD. Edwin has a loyal following, and if you are just a casual fan, you might be converted to the Edwin Army after you view this. While I am sure some fans would like to have their Edwin favorite tune included on this DVD, lets face it, there just isn't enough time to get them all in one show or DVD. With 14 performance songs and 5 additional tunes on the bonus CD, this is a great DVD/CD to experience what a loyal group of followers already know. Edwin can sing a story!

Edwin picked a place not to far from home in a venue that showcases his strenghts well. I enjoy the banter between songs. The band is always excellent. Most of these folks have been playing with him for quite some time. They are tight. Pete Riley does a fine job on backing vocals.

As far as song selection, just because it doesn't have several I would have loved to hear/see, i.e "Go Be Young", and "What Matters", I am not going to count that (see remark above). My choice for favs on the DVD are My Mystery (The opening tune), I'll Be, and Maggie May.

If there is one little thing to nit pick, it would be the quality of the camera work on the DVD. There are some jump cuts and the far shots of the band playing make it not as crisp as I might have expected. Again, I am a fan, not a producer/camera person. It is something that just strikes me, and I am probably alone in that.

Botton line is this is a excellent purchase. Even better, if you have a chance to see Edwin live, by all means do it. Either way, you will want the DVD. It is a fine representation of what The Edwin McCain band is and how fine of concert they perform.

Awesome companion to Scream & Whisper CD.......2005-05-26

Scream and Whisper is awesome, but if you haven't gotten the new DVD, "Tinsel & Tap Shoes," you are missing out. The DVD is the answer for everyone who has been asking for a LIVE CONCERT on DVD. And to make it better... there is a bonus audio CD in the same package. Get S&W first... then buy the DVD. Don't pass go & don't collect $200.

This DVD was filmed over 2 days at the House of Blues, N. Myrtle Beach... one of my favorite Edwin venues. BOTH nights were magical, and they picked the best-of-the-best for this DVD. IF you have never seen Edwin and the band LIVE, this will give you a HINT of what you can expect to hear and see in person. You will NOT regret buying this DVD!!!!

Buy This DVD - You Won't Be Sorry!!!.......2005-03-06

Once in a decade or so comes a talent this huge. That Edwin McCaine can write from such a world-weary perspective belies his age. Song after song, his words touch the heart, bringing forth tears of both joy and sadness. And that's just the lyrics.

The voice. How can it be that one so young can sing with so much soul? Song after song, delivering just the right emotion to drive his poetry home. The perfect balance of melody and driving soul.

Don't for a moment try to group Edwin's music in with the talentless, marketing packages that are so prevalent these days. His talent eclipses any 50 of these combined!

On to the DVD. I found this to be an excellent sampler of Edwin's music. His band consistently kicks out the songs, with nary a wrong note. Personal favorites are "Coming Down" and "Shooting Stars". The high point of the DVD is "Beautiful Life", in which Edwin's band cuts loose.

If I had anything to complain about, it would be that though every song is delivered impeccably, the band plays it all a little too safe for my tastes. the exception is the aforementioned "Beautiful Life" which shows what they're capable of. I only wished they'd stretched like that on a few more songs.

So, if you haven't hit the "Buy Now" button yet, go ahead and do it - you won't be sorry. While you're at it, pick out a few of his CD's. There's nary a bad one in the bunch - a further testament to the talent of this young man!

Edwin McCain is arguably the best lyricist and songwriter of the last decade. This DVD catches he and his band in a period of rebirth in their music. These are songs to capture your soul.
