    The previous review by Sue Davies on
    Willie Nelsons 'Some Enchanted Evening' DVD is extremely harsh. I was
    given this a few days ago and, stuck it
    in my laptop to watch in peace. I have
    to say, I was blown away by whole show.
    Perhaps Sue is restricted in her choice
    of music to Country only, or, she doesn't
    like Willie. He is recognised as one of
    the worlds greatest living legends, as a
    singer/songwriter in many fields, not
    just 'country' and, by his compatriots
    in the music business as well as his  legions of fans worldwide. The sheer
    ability of the man is awesome and he
    and the production team deserve better
    press than she has given in her review.
    Incidently, the band were of the highest
    calibre session men and women.
    Do NOT be put off by Sue Davies review!
    If you are a fan, BUY it, see for yourself.

    BJ, if you read the review again (and to be fair, it really isn't that long...) you'll see that Sue says she is a bit of a Willie Nelson fan but was disappointed with this release.  Not every DVD release captures the atmosphere and spirit of events and this appears to be the gist of the review.

    Si, You are correct in your reply regarding Sue being a Willie fan.
    I suppose my gripe was with her saying most of the material did
    nothing for her and, the fact she said, do not buy it.
       I have since watched in on a big screen TV with some friends,
    who thought it was wonderful. In fact, a couple of them were in
    tears with the emotional impact, of how Willie put such feeling
    into the material. The sound, we thought, was very good, in fact
    the whole thing was. I tried to make a strong enough point, for
    fans Not to be put off but, go and buy it.

    Don't get me wrong, you're entitled to any gripes you like.  After all, reviews are subjective and generally personal things.  Others will see things differently, as you already have.

    It would be a sad place we live in if we all agreed about everything.

    Oh, and welcome to the site.  Feel free to add reviews for any other Nelson releases you may have...
