This live DVD captures Suzanne Vega at her best in the live environment and backed on this concert by a full band. All the well known songs are here including her worldwide hit ‘Marlene On The Wall’ and a cracking rendition of ‘Left Of Center’.

If you have yet to experience the delights of Suzanne Vega this DVD is as good as any place to start. Along with Kate Bush one of the few truly great female vocalists of the past thirty odd years.

Very good sound and picture angles throughout the DVD, making it a ‘must have’ for her many fans. As an added bonus there are three songs from Vega’s appearance at the festival a few years later in 2000.
