David Gray - Live at the Point (2001)

This is What A Concert DVD Should Be!

When "White Ladder" came out I was lent a copy to listen. I was curious to hear more and after buying a copy for myself I soon bought "Lost Songs". Then by chance stumbled across "Live at the Point" and thought "Why Not? I love his stuff so far and have yet to see him in action". That was one of the best purchases I could have made. I am since one of his biggest fans. Right from the beginning you are swept up in the energy of his music and performance. He surprised me at first with his "bobble head". I wondered how he could do that and sing at the same time. By the end of the first song though I had not only gotten use to it but noticed myself doing to as well. That's the great thing about Grays music, You can't help but be moved and feel every song, fast and slow, through your soul. This concert takes you on a great journey of emotions and the audience treats every song with reverence and participation by mouthing the words or clapping along. I was amazed at how even the songs from "White Ladder" that I had listened to hundreds of times by then seemed fresh and new with these live versions. I have since found that either due to his creativity or his need to play older songs in a new way that Gray is constantly tweeking certain songs thereby ensuring new versions found on this disc. You won't be able to take your eyes and ears away once this concert starts and you'll feel you appreciation of good music enriched by the end of it. Another part of this disc that I cherish just as much as the concert is the bonus documentary that can proceed your viewing of the concert. It's full of the behind the scenes stuff I adore. Not only do we get to hear how people feel about him before the "White Ladder" success and people explaining how good music makes them feel but we also see Gray doing the smaller venues like clubs,bookstores and radio shows. The film does an excellent job of helping you to feel what it's like to walk in Grays shoes as he climbs the slow ladder of success and how music is his true calling. For me,as a fellow musician, I find it insperational and motivating. In a day an age where there is so much room on a DVD there is no good reason why all concert DVDs shouldn't have wonderful things like this attached. February 21, 2007

Incredible concert DVD

Hats off to David and his band for producing a magnificent concert DVD... sound is of superior quality. This dvd has grown on me in so many ways. If you enjoy playing guitar to the music, this is a great place to play. Give it a chance... March 3, 2006

A New Fan at Twilight

I love live performance video. I was casually aware of David Gray until I saw this performance. I'm a New Fan Now! September 19, 2005

Is David Grey paying these people to write reviews???

I'm sorry everyone. This dvd is not awesome...it's ok. From From David Grey's bobble-head singing style to his anticlimatic songs, i was unable to watch the dvd in it's entirety. As a matter of fact, after paying $24 for the dvd, I immediately put it on sale at half.com for $11.

For all of you who love this dvd, I challenge you to watch the...hmm...say U2's Elevation Tour: Live from Boston dvd AND then watch David Grey's performance. I believe you will understand the error of your five star giving ways. March 31, 2005
