searched everywhere for this. best price,awesome amazing show.this concert takes me away. I love to relax and watch her.
ive read some wannabee sound techs and self professed geniuses say aweful things about the sound.im sure they feel very impressed with what they say..i don't know if maybe they got illegal copies or something but this is perfect and I promise youll love it .listening to her is amazing but watching her while she plays and sings and dances around the stage,its heaven.
only down side is the price . I don't like to pay more than $10 for any dvds these days and so this was a little more than I wanted to pay. but ive been looking for a better deal for years and I finally rewarded myself.
no regrets.i adore this .

Here it is then. The 2009 edition of the previously hard-to-get-your-hands-on-concert... And it's a DVD this time. Live from Martha's Vineyard.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 8, 2010
Many who appreciate Carly Simon's songs and voice own a worn out VHS of this particular concert and I'm no exception.
Filmed back in the "Video Era" (1987) and in NTSC format, you're sure to get a picture quality that is only second class, but Carly's voice is first class. Even if image quality isn't excellent, it doesn't affect sound quality and certainly not Carly's performance. She looks happy and lovely.
Good news for european customers may be that most TV sets and DVD players will be able to handle the NTSC format, so you will most probably have no playback trouble with this edition since it's also REGION FREE even if it's sold as REGION 1. At least my copy was, look at the uploaded images of the DVD's back cover.
However, I can leave no guarantees what-so-ever since I have a multi region DVD player, so would not notice any difference.
Strong points: Carly, Carly's voice, the songs and the intimate feeling of this outdoor concert with a relatively small audience at the sea side. It's like a family gathering.
The baddies: Mainly the 80's style clothing she wears in the beginning. Look at those padded shoulders! And with those trousers, I mean, she looks like the third man in Miami Vice! To some extent also video tape image quality and 80's choreography, which certainly left room for improvement.
Luckily, she soon removes the Miami Vice horror clothes and looks like a woman in a dress for the rest of the show. Pheew!
