Marc Anthony - The Concert from Madison Square Garden (2001)

Marc Anthony brings his elegant passions to the Big Apple in this exciting 2001 concert performance. The dazzled audience erupts at the singer's knockout, Spanish-language openers, "Y Hubo Alguien" and "Contra la Corriente," swoons to his exultant "You Sang to Me," and hangs on every marvelous syllable in the exquisitely phrased "When I Dream at Night." Anthony's material occasionally slides into bathos ("That's Okay"), but at his best he can go from big band salsa ("Nadie Como Ella") to Burt Bacharach-flavored pop-soul ("My Baby You") to gorgeous, breathless ballads ("Da la Vuelta") without breaking a sweat. But when he needs all engines firing at once, such as on his hot-hot-hot big hit, "I Need to Know," the tension and power are delicious. Watching Anthony work a stadium crowd--gliding, dancing, playing to every corner--reminds one of Mick Jagger's playbook. --Tom Keogh Amazon.com

I love you Marc! You're the best

OMG this man is the best. Hands down the best salsa artist ever...
This concert will get you moving. He has an amazing voice, and charisma like nobodys business. Even Rosie Mcdonald and Julia Roberts made it!
I guess they know good stuff when they see it. Terrific DVD, I can't wait till I see another concert! August 31, 2008

Un excelente concierto

Antes de comprar este DVD leí comentarios muy dispares acerca de él, algunos decían que era maravilloso y otro que muy malo y por eso me gustaría dar mi opinión. En cuanto a lo técnico, la imagen es excelente, el trabajo de cámaras y edición y la nitidez de la imagen todas merecen ese calificativo. La calidad del sonido es el punto bajo del DVD. Algunas críticas la defienden argumentando que uno no puede esperar un gran sonido si tiene un mal equipo y que el sonido grabado en vivo no tiene la misma calidad. Puedo garantizar que mi equipo es de magnífica calidad y no sería un factor limitante jamás y he oído otras grabaciones hechas en vivo de mucho mejor calidad de tal modo que esas defensas no me parecen válidas. El sonido hay que calificarlo como aceptable. En cuanto a lo artístico, la orquesta es muy buena con individualidades destacadas que incluyen una presentación de Tito Puente. No necesito hablar de los indiscutibles méritos de Marc Anthony como artista y en esta presentación él se esmera. La selección de temas es excelente combinando con acierto sus tradicionales salsas con temas en inglés y otros ritmos en español. En conclusión, aunque el sonido deja qué desear, es suficientemente bueno como para no ser un obstáculo para disfrutar de este DVD. Si Ud. es fan de Marc Anthony, no dude en comprarlo.

Marc Anthony DVD Disappointment

Music CDs and videos are usually designed to grab your interest and attention with the first song, and then maintain that interest and attention throughout the rest of the album. This CD begins with songs sung in Spanish with a lot of echo, and then moves into English-sung songs performed without feeling. Marc seems to be in a hurry to get them over with. This is a poorly produced album and, as big a Marc Anthony fan as I am, I cannot recommend it to anyone who knows how talented he is. March 30, 2008

Awesome

The concert was excellent. The feelings and emotions that he puts into his performance is so real.

A concert de force

This is a beautiful concert from Marc. Mixed, english and spanish, he give the best of himself. Listen to group playing as one, as only one, compact, Listen Preciosa version, wonderful, emotional song. Cameras, public, group, even Julia Roberts and Ruben Blades are fantastic. Highgly recommended. The best salsa in the world, a great artist after Salsa golden Fania years.
