Recorded at London's Brixton Academy in 2004, Dido Live draws on material from 1999 debut No Angel and 2003 follow-up Life for Rent. As she notes early in the show, "It's very nice to be in a place where I've seen hundreds and thousands of gigs." Dido and five-piece band--including two percussionists--proceed to execute a tight 14-song set, touching on favorites like "Thank You" (famously sampled by Eminem for "Stan") and "White Flag," followed by a three-song encore. In David Barnard's soft focus film, the singer/songwriter mostly swings and sways to the music, joining in on keyboards for "Do You Have a Little Time" and acoustic guitar for "Mary's in India" and "See the Sun." Highlights include the driving "See You When You're 40" and trip-hop rave-up "Honestly OK." The DVD is packaged with a CD featuring 12 tracks from the same three-night engagement (in slightly altered sequence). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Customer Reviews

Fantastic Performance! Great Sound! Buy this DVD!
What can I say? This is possibly the best live recording I've seen! On par with Kasey Chambers' Behind the Barricades PAL DVD and Fleetwood Mac - The Dance, which are also outstanding.

I didn't notice the alleged spyware on the CD, since I have a Mac. Ripped both the DVD and the CD and put them on the AppleTV. Quality is pretty good for such a dark concert. Mostly, this sounds like an improved version of the actual studio recordings, with quite a bit more energy (after the first two songs).

A good choice
Excellent product, for the DVD as well as for the CD. Good quality, for the sound as well as for the images. All the good songs are there and of course, Dido is gorgeous.

LIVE MUSIC
Absolutely nothing is better. This is the best DVD I ever watched. What a show. Buy it without any hesitation and listen to it over and over. Will never get boring.
