Equally apparent, and equally unlikely to resolve the division between fans and foes, is Twain's crossover agenda. Scaled for the arenas that Twain and her handlers targeted early on, the concert is closer in pace and power-chords to a mainstream rock show than most country acts, an orientation that aligns the star with Garth Brooks's swaggering attack rather than most country songstresses. Her band may boast three fiddlers, but their slashing attack emulates the kilowatt buzz of the rock guitarists that share the scrim, who pull off familiar string-bending flourishes. As for the front woman, in her electric-green leopard-print top, hip-hugging pants, and meticulously permed, waist-length hair, she resembles some improbably aerobicized white Rastafarian.

The set list is a generous one, reproducing most of Twain's back-to-back platinum albums, and illustrates her skill at mixing melting ballads, flirtatious rockers that enable her to strut her physical beauty, and songs testifying to her self-reliance. Still, for all Twain's assertions that she won't suffer fools gladly, the songs ultimately reveal a traditional romanticism with a moderate, post-feminist spark. One need only check out the power equation behind such songs as "Honey, I'm Home" and "Any Man of Mine" to recognize Twain's themes are ultimately much older than their crossover wrappers. --Sam Sutherland

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!


Shania Twain - WOW!   January 10, 2000

I thought the DVD was very good. The sound quality is excellent. I am using a Sony DVD player ran through a Yamaha digital amp. I also have center channel audio. Now, to the video. It is 2 hours of really good stuff. Shania and her band are very energetic. Shania is a fan pleaser and gets her fans involved in her show. She is truly a remarkable person and hasn't forgotten her roots. She cares about the "little" people and I can't wait till her next addition is released.

Great DVD of a great performer! For those of you who may have audio problems...When I first received the DVD from Amazon I played it on the DVD drive on my PC with two stereo speakers. The sound quality was not very good and Shania's vocals were washed out, as if the center channel audio was missing. I then played it on my Toshiba 2109 DVD player with the sound set at two channel analog and through a Dolby Pro Logic amplifier and the center channel sound (with Shania's lovely voice) was excellent. Try playing around with your DVD player's audio setting.

I have seen five (5) Shania Twain concerts. This video helps me re-live each and every one of them. I cannot get enough of her performances. I even made a cassette tape of the video so I could listen to the live music in my car. SHANIA is absolutely the hottest, sexiest, most beautiful woman in the music business to date. If you get this video, you may as well get the other videos to have a complete collection. "The Woman In Me" "Behind the Scenes" "Come On Over"
