Great Performer!Dec 06, 2005
By W. Schultz
Having just seen Ms Simon Live in concert any stage fright she use to talk about has to have left her, cause she is one GREAT performer! We can only hope she tours often to make up for all the years she stayed away from the stage. On This Dvd, flimed on the QE2 Carly shines and for those that have never had the chance to see Ms. Simon sing her songs live this is a great chance to.
My Favorite moments are her Acoustic Set ("Love Of My Life" is my all time favorite Simon song) however her full band treatment of "Jessie", "Your so vain" and "COming Around Again" are close to perfect.

SmileAug 12, 2006
By Aaron M. Richardson
"mrichard"
I can sum up my reaction to this DVD in one word - smile. That's what I found myself doing throughout this wonderful performance. Perhaps Carly's voice is not quite what it used to be, but that was never her attraction. It is now, as it has always been, her uncanny ability to touch our hearts and give us all an intimate insight into the depth and breadth of her perception and emotion.
I loved the old standards from the Moonlight Serenade album, mixed with her own pop hits. But I think my favorite part was the acoustic set where she sat down with just one guitar player, plus her own, and the backup singers, including her daughter, Sally Taylor. Carly's duet with Sally on the old fifties song, "Devoted To You" was enough to bring tears to your eyes.
My only regret is that I was not there on the Queen Mary II, to witness this memorable event. Thank goodness someone had the foresight to capture it for the rest of us.

Moonlight "Superb" SerenadeJun 16, 2006
By Joseph Folino
"Satisfied viewer"
Carly Simon is like a vintage bottle of fine wine... She improves with age. The venue for this DVD " The Queen Mary 2" was a perfect setting. It allowed Carly to be herself and at the same time present a new and vigorous Carly Simon. The Arrangements were excellent and the musicans couldn't have been better.
Every note... every word of every lyric was right on key and was a disticnt achievment any vocalist would be proud of. Ms' Simon reached out and touched the hearts of everyone in the magnificent ballroom. .... and it came through on the DVD as well.
Carly Simon is a PRO in every sense of the word and this DVD is a major accomplishment. It will bring a whole new genre to further understand and enjoy what true music is.
Stay well Carly..... we want more of the same from you... for a long time.

Giant waves of talent and good taste in the Queen Mary 2Nov 23, 2005
By Paul Lavoisier
"A music fan"
As a music lover, I find myself searching for new music and artists all the time. Unfortunately, however, I find myself buying less and less music after hearing a few samples. And even fewer DVD's.
Having said this, this DVD is, by far, the most pleasant and sophisticated production that I have heard -and seen- in a very, very, long time.
Renowned director Jim Gable and music producer Richard Perry have joined forces to create magic of the highest caliber.
Of course, their main "ingredient" is Carly Simon, whose beautiful resonant voice, together with her carisma, and a selection of delightful songs, are combined with the majestuosity of the Queen Mary. Add to the cocktail top notch musicians and orchestra, and perhaps you will be picturing what a great treat this is.
Every single moment, and image, is like a wonderful bucolic painting, where each part plays an important role, and the whole is sweet to the senses.
The technical details are also impeccable, from superb surround sound to excellent editing.
Everything here is well done. The highlight of this DVD, is IMHO, the acoustic set, with Carly and her daughter, Sally Taylor, with 2 guitars, playing naturally but with tons of emotion, 5 songs that you, believe me, will remember for a long time.
These are the $ 10 (or about that) that I have invested more wisely this year in terms of art. I would sincerely advise you to give this DVD a try. It is worth it.
