I haven't watched it, but a local store is selling it for $10.88. If anyone has watched it, please let us know, I want to know if it's worth getting. The sale only goes on for another 5 days.

I bought it at Tower Records for $10, and it's worth it. The music is good, her singing is excellent as usual, there are some songs on there I hadn't heard before that are also good, and hey, $10 for a music dvd is dirt cheap.

My only complaint is that Norah Jones has about the same stage presence as a cardboard box (I hope that it was just this night, or nervousness because of taping for the dvd, or something). She just seemed very rigid and almost uptight, keeping her interaction with the audience short and almost curt, and just kinda going through the routine. It struck me as odd because her singing is still so soulful and emotional, yet to watch her it seems she's just going through the motions.

Anyway, you can always just pop it in, hit play and leave the tv off!

I picked it up when it came out, good picture quality and sound. It's definitely worth it if your a fan...and yeah, she is like a cardboard box on stage, lol.

Yeah, LOL! It is amazing the variance between her singing voice/style, and her onstage personality. Even still pictures of her look like a deer caught in the headlights.

This is one of those cases where it is only about the music. You usually don't use your eyes to listen. I have not seen the DVD yet, thanks for pointing it out. I'm sure I will pick it up.

Take under consideration that whoever produced it may have cut out alot of the audience interaction. I haven't seen it, but I work for a post house so I've seen quite a few shows get chopped up for time.
