Cyndi Lauper concert video: Live: At Last

When Cyndi Lauper takes the stage at this concert at this concert at Town Hall in New York City she starts off singing At Last a song that is a complete departure from her 80's music. She shows she can sing a song like this and not only sing it but sing it very well.
The thing that stands out more than anything watching this video is her rapport with the audience. She goes out into the audience several times during the concert and the audience loves her for it. Cyndi is one of the most sincere performers I have ever seen. She is all over the stage...climbing up onto a high platform...singing on top of a piano...lying down on steps upside down and singing with her head hanging off of steps. This lady knows how to entertain. The highlight of the concert is when she sings Unchained Melody toward the end of the concert. Her band is very talented and has horns, drums, guitars, bongo player and fiddler and Cyndi plays an old fashioned instrument you don't see much anymore. Her exuberance is contagious and the crowd is really into the concert especially on the faster songs when Cyndi starts dancing in her unorthodox style. Of course no Cyndi Lauper concert would be complete without her singing her best known song Girls Just Want To Have Fun and she doesn't disappoint her fans as she really showcases her band especially the trumpeter on this tune.

Bonus Features Unlike most bonus features this one doesn't focus on her music or making of the concert video. It shows Cydni driving through her old neighborhood and pointing out the various landmarks she remembers from her childhood. She even rides a merry-go-round from the days of her youth. Then she teams up with a man videoing their travels through New York City and there are some very beautiful scenes of the water and pink reflections on the side of a elevated train. It gives viewers an idea of what it would be like to live in New York City.

This video has 25 reviews on Amazon averaging 5 stars which is best a video can get so this further substantiates how well liked this video is. If you want to see a true entertainer keep an audience enthralled during the whole concert this is worth seeing because Cyndi Lauper is an entertainer of the first magnitude.
