Between the Lines: Sara Bareilles - Live at the Fillmore

As an absolute music aficionado and a true fan of Sara’s music, I’m gonna go ahead and say this is Sara’s best record to date. Take my word for it. If you’re interested to know why I make such an assertion, please read on.Sara has pushed out great music throughout the years, during which she has grown and tweaked and perfected her style (especially lyrics-wise). But <Little Voice>, her very first major label release, surprisingly remains the truest, rawest, smoothest and most engaging work to me, and <Live at the Fillmore> has implemented the music from <Little Voice> and taken it to an OTHERWORLDLY level. What really shines on <Little Voice> are the sparkly melodies fused with jazz and blues hints, the rock-y feels and textures, and the crisp yet powerful piano chords. <Live at the Fillmore> enhances and sublimes the entire music experience just by…being live. Live productions and arrangements are naturally simpler and rock-ier than studio recordings, and that fits exactly right with this collection of music. One drum, one bass, one to two guitars, zero to one background keyboard and one piano, and that’s it on <Live at the Fillmore>. Of course, plus Sara’s transcendental voice. Simply put, this live recording’s liveliness, energy, power and beauty is just off the damn charts. The raw jazziness and blues-ness are yet to be found on her later works, which sparkles and buzzes electric on this live recording. This album will change your days and nights, and fill them with spectacular musical enjoyment.And last but not least, please get the blu-ray. Watching this live recording is even more engaging than merely listening to it, and you deserve to enjoy it in full HD clarity and fully lossless audio.

I am a NEW fan of Sara Bareilles. I've only recently heard her music and I feel like I just crawled out from under a rock because of it. There are MANY GREAT Female singer's that I have the highest regards for, but I honestly think Sara is at the APEX of any of them. Everyone has they're own favorites and tastes of type's of singer's, I get it, BUT NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has a better voice than this beautiful song bird of a singer. I don't care WHO you come up with, at BEST they may could equal her singing talent, BUT NEVER exceed it and I honestly can't think of ANYONE I've EVER HEARD better! I think personally she could upgrade Anyone's hit's but few could ever match her with one of HER HIT'S and I found her to have many. Sara Bareilles is MY new FAVORITE SINGER of ALL TIME!!! I personally don't think anyone else is even in her ball park and Between the Lines will give you an excellent opportunity to both see her performance in a live concert and how she captivates her audience with her incredible talent and heart warming personality. If you don't fall in love with Sara after seeing and hearing her perform, that you must have a heart of stone. Plus included is a CD of the DVD performance you'll witness that you'll want to play over and over as I do. I feel like I FINALLY found the MOST impressive female singer of all time. Enjoy

Well-recorded beautiful music from a beautiful woman - this is one of the best concert DVDs I have experienced. Usually I am a stickler for Bu-Rays, but this DVD looks just fine. The audio and video recording and mastering are top-notch. The Fillmore is an attractive venue, with an intimate crowd in fairly close quarters, adding to the recording's realism and presence. Sara's personable small talk between songs brings the concert especially close to home.And now more on Sara. Her vocal range and consistency is at times awe-inspiring, and the fact that she expresses it while playing piano makes it even more impressive. Most of the songs here sound as good or better on this recording as on the "Little Voice" studio album. Sara is clearly in her element here. As I have seen written elsewhere, she just makes it look so easy; and she appears to be having fun, which makes it more fun for the viewer. It is worth noting that her band is very good, too.I have not seen Sara perform live, but I want to, and I have to imagine this is the next best thing.I could not recommend this more highly. If you are a fan of Sara Bareilles, or of similar music, purchase this DVD/CD set immediately.

For the Die hard Sara B fans this Is nothing short of Gold. The Video Quality is Amazing. I watched in 1080p, super Clear/crisp. sound was Amazing as well Ive Run it through both times and I can say that the 5.1 is very well done. you can hear the Crowd talking through the rear speakers as well as the slight Reverb from the rear of the Hall it all makes you feel like your in the front row watching.The whole show is very fun, Sara Talks before almost every song and Explains where she Came up with the idea. She makes quite a few Jokes, most are very cute and quite funny. The show is filled with extras, some that you get to see while watching the Main concert such as the House Boat Performances. As such the houseboat performances are fantastic, they have a very warm and cozy feel to them.one of the house boat performances you must watch is Many the miles, she forgets the words to the song and just rolls with it.you also get 2 Performances of Sitting on the dock of the bay. One is Performed on the Piano solo while the other, At the Ending Credits is performed with Jaiver Dunn on the guitar and sara doing the singing.If you Like her studio album, you will love this concert.most Artists/bands sound worse live then they do behind the Studio glass. Sara is one of 2 artists I know that sound better Live then in studio. ( I want to see her live, she is amazing)she Puts a Little Twist on Each song. as such each song Is ever so slightly more "Sara"

Very well produced concert dvd/bluray. Interchanges concert footage with more intimate 'unplugged' versions which I believe works well. Sara has an amazing voice; sounds even better than the maybe over-produced CD and the solo pieces really show her talent. Nice person too. These dvds allow you to get to know a little bit about the person which makes their music connect with you more. When the final titles roll Sara sings Sittin on the dock of the bay with just an acoustic guitar - this sounds stunning. If buying the bluray, be aware that the sound defaults to 2 channel. - Dolby true hd has to be selected each time - very high sound quality though.

this is a well put together blu ray. A intimate gig and her first time headlining presents sara in a really good light. Her voice is reminiscent of sarah mclaughlin and the band are very good as well.As I live in Ireland I had never heard of sara as she really isnt a big name in europe (yet!).its only lasts about an hour or so. Its not a problem as the songs are good and have up beat american sound about them if that makes sense. recommended for a quietish night in.

another of my purchases in dark,another lucky one,great artists all band is great,they love what they do and you can see it there,good thing for a long winter evenings.

sara as a beautiful voice,she is able to mix her music,combining harmonies and folk/pop tunes,there is also a sense of fun about her style.

Great
