Shania Twain - Live
For erstwhile “new country” outsider Shania Twain, the commercial impact of her first live video doubtless carries the sweet smell of revenge. Twain’s mid-’90s breakthrough, fueled by formidable production polish and carefully groomed videos, conspicuously delayed live shows until long after the expatriate Canadian’s success crossed into platinum territory–an omission that prompted some skeptics to theorize that the would-be megastar’s talent was accomplished through studio l [Read More...]

Shania fans will love this concert, which is just wall-to-wall music. It is not what I expected to see at all; it has no lavish costume changes, no razzle-dazzle, no huge production numbers…just Shania, with her large and accomplished band, who play brilliantly for her, singing song after song.
She wears a chartreuse and black exercise outfit for the first hour, black pants and a leopard print jacket in the second half, with a jacket change for the last four songs. With little make-up and no jewelry, her beauty is spectacular.
The song list is:
1: “Man ! I Feel Like a Woman”. ‘99 Grammy Award for Best Female Vocal Country Performance.
2: “Honey, I’m Home”
3: “You Win My Love”
4: “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under ?”
5: “You’re Still the One”. ‘98 Grammy Award for Best Female Vocal Country Performance and Best Country Song.
6: “I Won’t Leave You Lonely”
7: “Come On Over”. ‘99 Grammy Award for Best Country Song.
8: “Love Gets Me Every Time”
9: “I’m Holding on to Love (to Save My Life)”
10: “When”
11: Medley: “Home Ain’t Where His Heart Is (Anymore)” / “The Woman in Me (Needs the Man in You)” / “You’ve Got a Way”
12: “That Don’t Impress Me Much”
13: “If It Don’t Take Two”
14: “Black Eyes, Blue Tears”
15: “God Bless the Child”. Proceeds for this song go to her favorite charity, Kid’s Café.

22: “(If You’re Not in it for Love) I’m Outta Here !”. This is terrific; a band of young drummers join her for this great song.

24: “Rock This Country”
Total running time is 2 hours.
The Music: Fantastic! Shania has an excellent live voice, and can see she really enjoys performing live to her fans. She is not the only person on stage having a great time, her musicians are constantly surrounding her playing their violins, guitars etc. and musically this video is a MUST for anyone who likes the music of Shania Twain.
Visually: A lot of concerts consist of a band at the back and the singers at the front doing what they do, and to watch on television can be a little disappointing. This concert, is extremely entertaining from beginning to end and won’t leave you bored for a moment.
Highlights: Footage is shown of Shania when she was about 10 years of age singing. During the concert, we see just how lovely a person Shania is when she has a couple of young children on stage with her dancing with her. The whole concert is a highlight, it’s fantastic and very entertaining.
Criticism: Basically I have none, except she gets a man on stage with her during my favorite song ‘Dont Be Stupid’ and he’s REALLY annoying!
