Kenny Rogers - Live by Request
Released in DVD by Dreamcatcher (23 October, 2001)
Starring: Kenny Rogers
Though a little older and a little more gruff, Kenny Rogers is still a charmer who knows how to rope in an audience and keep them happily captive. Kenny Rogers: Live by Request (2001) is an hour and a half of the country artist's greatest hits and audience favorites backed by a tight and smooth band. Starting with an upbeat "Islands in the Stream" (solo, no Dolly), he sets the pace for a lively, friendly show. Following the usual format of A&E's Live by Request series, fans from North America call in to talk to Kenny and ask him to sing a song for them. Seventeen songs are featured, including "Daytime Friends," "Lucille," "Lady," "Coward of the Country," "We've Got Tonight," "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town," "Love Will Turn You Around," and, of course, "The Gambler." Kenny fans will adore this easygoing performance of popular tunes. --Dana Van Nest
Average review score: 
Warm and perfectkenny Rogers performed this concert on a warm environment between his fans and his music lovers. He is great, romantic, and very carismatic. The only drawback is that every request is considered as a unique track. I think it will be better to make it with only song tracks. On conclusion this is the only available DVD for this great singer. Sound format is 5.1 which make the DVD more valuable.
If you love Kenny....My Mom is a huge Kenny Rogers fan and I bought this for her. She loves it and I must admit that I enjoyed it alot. A great gift for any Kenny Rogers fan.
An Absolute Must for Kenny Rogers Fans!Whether you are a die-hard Kenny Rogers fan (like me) or a casual fan, you will enjoy this DVD. We have a home theater, and I was thrilled with the superb sound quality and crisp picture quality of this DVD. Having seen Kenny in concert many times, I really enjoyed the spontaniety of this concert as Kenny fielded caller requests, and told short, interesting anecdotes about each song before singing it. There are also a couple of great duets with Linda Davis. In addition, those 'in-the-know' can even catch some glimpses of Kenny's wife, Wanda, and her twin sister in the audience. My only criticism is that I would have loved to have some DVD bonus options, like behind-the-scenes, etc., but none are provided.
The filming angles and closeness make you feel just like you are there...not like some in-concert videos that are far away or grainy. Like I said, if you are a Kenny Rogers fan, this DVD is for you!
