- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2006I love both Annie Lennox and Eurythmics, especially their live performances, and this Live In Central Park is simply stunning: Annie knows how to make her interpretations unforgettable. Wonderful as usual, wrapped in a daring tartan suit, she leaps on the stage catching the audience with her exclusive voice. The concert includes songs from her solo albums Diva and Medusa and also hits from her Eurythmic career. You can also view the song's lyrics as subtitles. The concert is mixed together with footages of Annie in N.Y. and studio rehearsals with the band. The DVD also contains the videoclips for No More "I Love You's", A Whiter Shade Of Pale, Waiting in Vain (very funny, with a multi-Annie playing Minnie Mouse) and Something So Right. Each video is presented by Annie sitting in the theatre where some clips were filmed. Maybe the DVD could appear a bit dated, but remember that it was filmed for the first time in 1995.
Here is the concert playlist:
1. Money Can't Buy It (Diva, 1992): similar to the album version. ***
2. Legend In My Living Room (Diva, 1992): similar to the album version. ***
3. Walking On Broken Glass (Diva, 1992): a very happy and inspired rendition. *****
4. No More "I Love You's" (Medusa, 1995): touching and intimate: Annie performs with the same hairstyle of the videoclip. *****
5. Who's That Girl? (Touch, 1983): sensuality and angst for one of the best performance of the concert. *****
6. You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart (Savage, 1987): to the verse "I just want someone to hold", Annie thrills the audience screaming "I" for nine times! Disarming. ****
7. Waiting In Vain (Medusa, 1995): a Bob Marley classic reinterpreted with guitar accompaniment. ****
8. I Love You Like A Ball And Chain (Be Yourself Tonight, 1985): a roaring performance launched by a powerful only-voice intro. ****
9. Little Bird (Medusa, 1995): smart and electronic. ****
10. Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (from the same title album, 1983): Eurythmics' masterpiece, always magic and upsetting. *****
11. Train In Vain (Medusa, 1995): simply intriguing and exciting. Amazing. *****
12. Why (Medusa, 1995): Annie's solo masterpiece, elegant and moving. *****
Videoclips (all the videos are from Medusa, 1995)
1. No More "I Love You's": Male dancers dressed as ballet girls (!) introduce you to Annie, eerie mistress in front of a creepy audience. *****
2. A Whiter Shade Of Pale: Ms. Lennox, dressed as a teddy bear with a pageboy cut, goes on a swing in a circus arena, surrounded by clowns, dancers and a white horse. ****
3. Waiting In Vain: Annie "Minnie Mouse" does the cleaning up, waiting for her love as the seasons pass. At the end of the video there will be six Annies!!! *****
4. Something So Right: dressing a costume, Annie plays in a theatre, filmed like in an old recital. The less impressive video of the series. ***
And now... Enjoy it! - Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2024Perfect performance with all her hits.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2014Annie Lennox is the best, and it certainly shows in this DVD. Her band is tight, and she clearly likes to perform. The interviews provide a lot of insight, and the bonus videos are nice. The huge audience at Central Park really got into the show, with lots of folks singing along. A great DVD, and highly recommended. I purchased my copy used on Amazon Marketplace (It's out of print) for a very reasonable price, and the disc was in like-new condition.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2007Obviously a must for Lennox fans. Most of the songs are from her "Diva" CD and very well performed. She warms up after the first few tunes and as her interview states she reacts to her audience's enthusiasm. She's a wonderful lyricist and composer. Video quality is acceptable but audio is above average. It's obvious they spent time rehearsing as the renditions are almost indistiguishable from the original recordings.
I could have done without the ears on the musicians but like Rush's tumbling washers/dryers during their "Vapor Trails" tour I guess it's all part of the act. - Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2017Thrilled with this item was as expected 98% plays beautifully thank you
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2009I JUST LOVE ANNIE LENNOX AND HAVE FOR YEARS I HAVE SEVERAL OF HER CDS BUT TO WATCH HER PERFORM LIVE IS PURE PLEASURE!!! WHAT A TALENT!! SHE HAS HER ON STYLE AND DOES NOT COMPROMISE AND THATS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HER.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2007is well presented in this DVD. She is just so talented as a performer, writer and arranger. We saw this show when it was presented on TV in 1995. Having it on DVD is icing on the cake.

5.0 out of 5 starsUn concert extraordinaire !
Ce concert enregistré en 1995 à Central Park est extraordinaire, d’abord parce qu’Annie se fait habituellement discrète sur scène et c’est donc une chance d’avoir ce disque mais aussi car cette prestation à New York retrace les tubes de ces deux premiers albums solo en plus des grands classiques de Eurythmics ( Who’s that girl ? I love you like a ball and chain [...] - Mr. John KirtleyReviewed in the United Kingdom on May 19, 2024

Bon produit - François Brunelle, QuébecReviewed in Canada on November 21, 2014
4.0 out of 5 starsAurais mérité 4½ étoiles.
J'aurais adoré pouvoir y ajouter une demi étoile, car 4 étoiles n'est pas tout à fait assez. Vous vous demanderez pourquoi je lui aurais quand même enlevé une demi étoile : la réponse est que la qualité vidéo aurais mérité d'être retravaillée pour gagner en netteté. Bon, l'enregistrement date, la technique de l'époque n'approche pas celle d'aujourd'hui, mais, j'ai des spectacles plus vieux que celui ci et dont le rendu visuel est meilleur. Par contre, si comme moi vous appréciez le talent de Mme. Lennox, ce spectacle est essentiel à votre collection. Au delà de la voix angélique, la belle folie de l'interprète et le plaisir évident qu'elle a de se retrouver devant ce public, crèvent l'écran, et donnent une valeur ajoutée aux chansons présentées. Vous ne regretterez pas votre achat.
