Dan Fogelberg Live - Greetings From the West (DVD, 2000)

I am a career long Dan Fogelberg fan, having been to several concerts and own much of his catalog. When I first saw the Greetings from the West DVD, I had to have it. Having seen one of his appearances during this tour, I knew it would bring back memories. As soon as the DVD arrived I put in, the sound quality is average at best, owning the CD this was not a big problem. The reason for the average rating is the quality of the video, it looks like a poor copy of a worn VHS tape, it appears as if Sony was trying to put something out on the cheap, or perhaps the masters were really that bad. Regardless, I was very disappointed by the quality of the video that Sony put out. It was good to see Dan again on the stage, but there has to be better quality video out there of his concerts. Perhaps Dan, Sony and PBS could put out his Sound Stage Video from a couple years ago before he became ill.

I remember seeing Dan Fogelberg in concert around 1981 or 1982 in what was advertised as an all acoustic evening. It was just Dan, his guitar and his piano. After all this time I still rank that night as the best concert I've ever attended. Dan's music made an indelible mark on me and even though I knew he was battling cancer, it brought me to tears when I found out he had passed. I started searching for concert DVD's and this is the only one there is available. I read reviews of others who had purchased this DVD and I have to agree with the group of them who noted the direct transfer to DVD of a VHS recording. It leaves you wishing someone had taken the time to clean it up and remastered it before releasing the DVD. But I sat, and watched, and was again moved and mezmerized by Dan's music and by his performance. If you are a true Dan Fogelberg fan and want to have a lasting memory of Dan, you have to get this DVD. True fans will look beyond where the video and audio are lacking and will see a true artist, and an amazing man performing music which touches the soul. We will miss you Dan.

I like the song selections played in this concert dvd. All of which are his hits. I'm hoping he will have his latest concert dvd in the market soon.
Decided to buy to add to my collection.

I've been a fan of Fogelberg's since the 70's and I wanted more. Fantastic DVD and something that I can share with my friends and family. Best purchase in a long time. If you're a fan......purchase!

love dan fogalbergs voice great singer song writer. the only thing missing was the hit longer than which is one of my favs.picture quality was a little grainy but not untolerable.thanks really enjoy this item

I absolutely love the Dvd of Dan Fogelberg. It especially means alot to me because Dan is no longer with us.
The DVD was delivered promply, and it is in excellent condition.

Good product, great price. Served as a great Christmas gift for my dad. DVD quality a bit poor, but that's just a factor of the time this concert was filmed, not an issue with the seller.

Excellent, professional service, and quick too. Order with confidence. Product was received as described.

My niece lives in an isolated section of New Mexico, and this DVD was a gift for her. I tried to have the gift delivered by two Half.com vendors, but the DVD never arrived to her. THIS VENDOR SUCCEEDED! HURRAY! Whatever they did that the others did not, this Seller got the gift to its destination in a very short time. I'm really pleased.

I've always loved and admired this great and versatile musician. Of course, you can always find fault in any production or performance, but I'm glad to have a copy of these memorable musical masterpieces from an artist who had to leave us before his time. I was lucky enough to have seen many of his concerts over the years, but in this video I was particularly interested in Dan's interviews and commentaries on various songs. This is something you don't usually get to hear from an artist of his stature. We'll always miss you, Dan. - Jerad MacLean/Aptos, CA

To Future Buyer's from Redtagmarket (Seller): This was a very pleasent experience in working with from what I see a Top E-Bay Seller! The Item was in "Excellent Condition" and Packaged for Shipment Securely. Communication from this Seller was right up Front and Honest, almost as soon as the Auction was completed! This is a RARE trait that MORE SELLER'S on E-Bay should follow...telling the Customer that his purchase was due to Ship Out and the Date! A very easy task to complete, but makes the Buyer feel more comfortable as this lets him know that the Payment was received, and everything was on Schedule for Prompt Shipment. Then I received another update or note from this Fantastic E-Bay Seller telling me the actual date that he had just shipped the Item out...WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!

I would highly advise anyone to trust this Seller, and His Product's are AAA+++!! I will be dealing with him again in the near future as "I LIKE HIS STYLE Of Doing BUSINESS!! One could not ask for a Better E-Bay Seller than Redtagmarket!! Try him out and you will see what I mean...EXCELLENT from Start to Finish In Your Mailbox!! Thank You once again for all you did to make this transaction a Wonderful Experience as I wrote back to you after receiving one of your Note's on letting me know the Status of My Item I Won! Keep up the Excellent Work my friend, and Thanks Again for a Most Pleasureable Experience!!

Best Regards & Aloha,

It has a lot of excellent songs on it, It was one of his older recordings though.
I bought it for a family member and they loved it.

Awesome!!! What more can I say...Love Dan..His legacy lives!!
Great transaction. Fast speedy delivery.

Awesome video. Wonderful photography on the nature scenes. Concert was great. Songs he sang were some of the very best. Really liked the little comments Dan does about each song and about his thoughts on how to live. Great Legacy to a great song writer and singer. Love Dan & his music. Heaven received a gift when he died.

If you are a DF fan - this is a fantastic DVD. I grew up listening to DF and when I learned of his passing on December 16, 2008, it left a shadow on my heart. His lyrics were a masterpiece of feelings and his music was an ensemble. I always wanted to see DF live and now I am kicking myself for missing out on what would have been a lifetime of memories. Rest in Peace Dan.
You are missed!!!!!

I was REALLY disappointed..the seller cancelled this sale with NO explaination..I did however get PayPal credit

it was new and the quality is very good.....the comments by dan between the live songs makes it special.....having been to one of his concerts and having seen the quality of his live performance along with having tim weisberg perform on a couple of songs ,brought back some wonderful memories !!

With Dan Fogelberg's recent passing, it may be hard to give a completely unbiased review. However, for those of us who have listened to and loved his music, this is a must for the collection. Getting to view his passion as well as listen to it adds to the experience. Show starts wonderfully with "Aurora Nova" into "The Wild Places" (These were new at the time of the concert) and ends with a moving "There's a Place in the World for a Gambler". "Leader of the Band" and "Missing You" are highlights with a special new poignancy. Instant chapter access to songs provides easy access to favorites.
