I've been a fan of DCD for quite some time, but never viewed this concert video until recently. A flowing and expressive performance that cradles you in the experience, and tries - successfully - to show you how and why it is what it is - via the interview segments between songs.
Ms. Gerard, in an anecdote, speaks of her child singing and how she realized that it was important for song to not be constricted by the prison that is language. Once you've heard that spoken, you realize where DCD comes from artistically.
I recommend this DVD to anyone as it transcends genre, taste, and formula. It is nothing short of an amazing, moving testament to what many today have forgotten about the art of music. Bravo.
