lovely dvd

I bought this DVD for someone else, he loves it and says it's one the best shows he saw from O'Day. August 2, 2008

Interesting 1986 live concert

I'm not sure what Gloria was reviewing, but it wasn't this product. This is from 1986, and although Anita wasn't in her prime at age 67, she's still DAMNED good and well-worth hearing. Her performance of "I Can't Get Started" is stellar, and not only rivals her mid 1950's version, it's actually much better. This concert has been previously issued on CD as "Live at Ronnie Scotts" and it's nice to finally have it available on DVD. September 16, 2007

Disappointing

Very disappointing. I was hoping this was a re-masterred version of an album formerly recorded by Anita O'Day. It is not Anita O'Day in her prime which I had thought this was. This was produced 2 years before her death at the age of 80+. Hardly Anita in her prime. February 6, 2007

Anita O'Day - Live at Ronnie Scott's

Good recording. Anita still had a good quality to her voice. Good back up from trio. January 13, 2007
