Suzanne Vega Album: “Live at Montreux 2004”

We've waited a long time for Suzanne to put out a concert video, and this one does not disappoint. I've seen her live 3 times, and she is a captivating performer. On this DVD, Suzanne seems a bit detached from the Montreaux audience, and I think the chemistry might have been better with a U.S. audience. But even so, the intimacy is there.

The sound is very good (thanks DTS 5.1), but not great like the West 54th Sessions concert. I really wish they would put that entire performance on DVD (& every other Session @ West 54th for that matter). Suzanne's band has always been top notch. They're cool when they need to be, and they can rock when they need to. I'm especially enamored of bass player Mike Visceglia. He lays down some of the coolest bass lines i've ever heard.... and looks cool doing it!

This concert DVD is a real treat. Suzanne looks and sounds wonderful, and delivers a great performance. Some things could have been done better, but I still give it 5 stars.

This is a really Europien tour. "Live at Montreux"-Jazz, in Switzerland! This concert is "free and easy" with full living moments. The music is so fantastic and so timeless. The old songs are in new dresses. Sometimes the DVD's sound is weak, maybe at Suzanne solos, but the trio's sound with Suzanne is so dazzling. Drummer Doug Yondell and bass player Mike Visceglia are very attractive. Electric guitarist Billy Masters is masterful and a good choice. The last song is a jazz standard, because this is Montreux! and Suzanne is a good jazz singer too.

Suzanne Vega is still a singer-songwriter Queen!

Buy this DVD, highly recommended!

This DVD is a great concert. Suzanne is genuine and warm towards her audience. The songs are well executed. I highly recommend it as part of your music library.

This is an excellent performance by Suzanne and her band. This dvd consists of 18 songs, plus 3 more bonus songs for a total of 21 songs.

I really like "Luka", but the entire concert is great!!! This is a must-have dvd for any Suzanne Vega fan. Thanks, and may God Bless!!!

This is one of my favorite music DVD's, and I have a lot.

The song selection is terrific. "Gypsy" is probably my favorite, but a relatively obscure SV song. The sound is excellent. Suzanne was also at peak cuteness IMO at this point, and when she looks at the camera and smiles during "Left of Center" I'm just oh so happy about it.

Unless you're very attached to Suzanne Vega songs after 2004, I see no reason why a fan of hers wouldn't love this DVD.
