 Judy Collins & Friends ShineDec 02, 2003
By Martin Hansen
This DVD captures a live concert of the Judy Collins Wildflowers Festival recorded in San Diego, June 30, 2002. Judy and her co-stars Arlo Guthrie, Eric Anderson, and Tom Rush shine in this rich performance of folk classics, including City of New Orleans, Amazing Grace, The Circle, In My Life, and Both Sides Now. Each singer performs a solo set, and all four join in a rousing encore. Collins sings her own Home Before Dark and Open the Door, as well as standards such as Send in the Clowns. Each provides a sparkling performance and the four blend voices beautifully in the encores. Production values are terrific. An unforgettable gathering of four of America's best loved folk singers of the past 40 years. Not to be missed.

Amazing, amazing, amazing!Nov 07, 2004

Amazing grace, indeed! This is an incredible show with stellar performances by some of the finest and, in my opinion, most under-rated singers of the past century. Judy Collins is a wonderful singer and performer and she lends class and grace to every song she sings. The version here of "In My Life," sung with the other guest artists, is incredible. In "City of New Orleans," although Judy had a rousing version on her album entitled "JUDITH" -- this time she lets Arlo take it away and sing his own rendition while offering a beautiful supporting voice -- she doesn't try to one-up him and impose her version on him. Eric Anderson's "Thirsty Boots" brings tears to my eyes, and to hear Judy and Eric sing it together is thrilling. At times, the guest stars' performances get a little draggy, but whenever Judy is on, the stage glows. A magical evening -- and dvd! I highly recommend it!

 Live Concert With Arlo Guthrie, Tom Rush and Eric AndersonMar 23, 2005
By G. Reid
Nice package. Not as good as Judy Live At Wolf Trap. Judy carries the show. However, at the end of the concert all four sing a few songs together. They blend their voices well and it is a very enjoyable conclusion to the concert.

wonderful!!May 20, 2012
By MS
i must confess that i didnt know the male vocalists on this dvd and just bought for judy as she sings some songs that r not on other dvds but i was pleasantly surprised with the men! i enjoyed their songs and thought the voices were very nice. the encore esp is very nice with them and judy! there is a nice commentary with judy and she kinda just speaks about 'life' and comments some on the concert but you really dont hear the music when she speaks. i just put on and do things in the house and listen to judy chatting and its very nice and she is very interesting. i think this might be going out of print as it was many yrs ago but i got mine for so little and it def is one i'm glad to have in my collection! have watched it many times already! great job judy n gentlemen :)
Songs For Aging Folk ChildrenMay 05, 2010

Okay, just when you thought there could not possibly be any more country folk, urban folk, suburban folk, folk rock, rock folk, semi-folk, or quasi-folk music from the folk revival of the early 1960 to review here I am again reviewing some of the stars of that time-in their dotage. Well, maybe not dotage, but we are all, including Judy Collins, Eric Andersen, Tom Rush, and Arlo Guthrie, getting a little long in the tooth, and no one can dispute that hard fact. The real question is whether the artists in this compilation still have it, at least for those of us in that dwindling, graying, arthritic, prescription-needing folk audience that fills the small church basement "coffee houses" on this planet. And they do. Still have it, I mean.
That said, this little Wildflower Festival setting in 2003 provided Judy and her guests with a chance to show their stuff, new and old. Now, for those who have heard Judy Collins sing back in the day the question is why she did not challenge Joan Baez for the "queen" of folk title. She had the voice, the style, and the looks (ya, that WAS important, even then) to do so. I have been running a "Not Joan Baez" series and will deal with that question there at some other time but her work here is pretty good, especially her well-known cover of Ian Tyson's "Someday Soon". Eric Andersen, who I have already looked at in a "Not Bob Dylan" series hold forth on his "Blue River". Tom Rush, ditto, on "The Remember Song". Finally, Arlo, whom I have covered in relation to his father's, Woody Guthrie, music "steals" the show here with his storytelling, notably the kid's story, "Mooses Came Walking".
