 Rating:  - Master Songwriter and Singer doin' what he does best!Being a huge Paul Anka fan, (seeing him perform live over a dozen times)this DVD does not dissapoint. One Unique think about Mr. Anka is that his songs have "Evolved" over time and while still keeping their original feel, Paul has added new "flavors" to them. Some Outstanding performances on this DVD include a very touching duet with his Daughter (Do I love You) and a very warm sounding "Papa" as well as great rockin' versions of "She's a Lady" (sorry Tom, but Paul owns this one!) and two great Amercian ...

The only drawback is the change of melodies and rythms of most of those songs. I think it's to make them different, and add a change to the show. Where's the famous intro melody of "PAPA"? The song is performed nicely, but the original is certainly better.Instead of this, I enjoy this DVD on both sound (Dolby 5.1) and picture, and unfortunately this is the only live show available ...
