Doing All Righ - In Concert

Ever Have Jet Lag? Diana Krall's Doing All Right
Her Paris concert at the Olympia in 2001 is preserved as a music DVD, as her 2004 performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival, her 2008 performance at Rio de Janeiro, and her 2008 performance at the Jazzaldia Festival in San Sebastián, Spain, also are preserved, the last issued for the US market as In Concert Diana Krall Doing All Right. (As of this writing YouTube has her band's performance at the 2010 Montreaux Jazz Festival.)

Diana Krall is a treasure and a gift, born nine months after The Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, and growing up to become a celebrated recording artist coincidentally in the same year the DVD was developed.

This is not an authorized Diana Krall DVD. The picture quality is not as good as her other concert DVDs, though the sound quality is fine. The end credits are in Spanish; this may have been taped for Spanish TV. This is probably one of those "gray-market" releases; not a bootleg, but not completely legal either.

Doing All Right-in Concert is also available on vinyl on Amazon; other sites list a CD release as well.

Most Krall fans will probably want to stick with her authorized DVDs, Diana Krall - Live in Paris,...

This release was her worst
Elvis Costello should stick to writing and composing songs for himself. There are a couple of cuts that are ok. I loaned this DVD to a friend and had the same reaction. Also, my wife is an avid fan of Krall and she was disappointed. Should have saved my money.
