 A Great Gift November 23, 2005
I bought this here and really enjoyed it. I enjoy Great Big Sea but have never bought their stuff before. We enjoyed both the DVD and CD and have recomended it to others.
 Almost as good as being there...... August 17, 2005

Great Big DVD is almost like being at a Great Big Sea concert. As a long time fan, I was thrilled that this DVD was made while Darrell Power was with the band. The original 4 are spectacular together. Gorgeous harmonies, thumping rhythms and rollicking folk tunes. The new setup is great as well, but if you've seen the original four in concert, you know it's not quite the same without Darrell.
The feel of the DVD is not quite like a concert, they've cut out much of the silliness that these guys can get up to on stage. There's a little bit with Alan's goof on 'Jack Hinks', but much of the usual dialogue between him and Sean is sadly missing. They have such fun on stage, it would be great to have it captured on the DVD. The running back and forth and 'vertical movement' is there to enjoy.
The extras are terrific, great interviews with the guys, where you get a sense of their pride in Newfoundland (and it's in them)and the incredible sense of humour they each have.
There's great energy between the band and audience in the concert footage, which recreates the tour shows.
If you've been to a concert, this is a great keepsake of memories, if you haven't been (yet) this is a taste of what to expect.
