Martina McBride: Live In Concert – Martina McBrideView More By Martina McBride Our ReviewIt's not easy to capture the essence of a live concert on tape. Acoustic guitars often sound thin and toneless, vocals can come off more flat or sharp than expected, bass guitars usually sound wonky, and poorly recorded drums can ruin everything. But none of these problems exist on Martina McBride's Live In Concert. The four-time CMA Top Female Vocalist Award winner opens with the jubilant fan favorite "Happy Girl," letting her audience chime in on the song's bridge before singing soaring notes into the night air. And the choruses on "Concrete Angel" sound gorgeous with McBride's soulful inflections floating over all the instruments. "Whatever You Say" from 1997's Evolution comes out as fresh as any of her current hits, especially at the end where her fans carry the chorus like that live version of Tom Petty's "Breakdown" that all the classic rock stations won't stop playing. Speaking of classic rock, McBride closes with a punchy cover of Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot." Live In Concert leaves you both satiated and wanting more, like a good home cooked meal.. Customer ReviewsFlawless (5 stars)Martina McBride is the premiere voice at country music and one of the best vocalists in music period. Soaring vocals on songs like "Where Would You Be" and "A Broken Wing" shows why she has won the CMA Top Female Vocalist Award four times (a record she shares with Reba McEntire). The DVD is a must-see as it shows just how powerful a McBride concert is. The only downside is that the CD only includes 8 songs because once yo Fantastic (5 stars) What a super fantastic performance. The bonus DVD ( 20 songs) you get when you buy the set is extra special. An excellent collection of great live performance songs performed by the best vocals in Country Music !! ! (5 stars) Awesome. I like that she did that Pat Benatar song. She originally wanted to be just like her. But her parents, over time, convinced her after throat issues to sing country. It still works for her. If you can sing, you can sing anything BiographyBorn: July 29, 1966 in Medicine Lodge, KSGenre: Country Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s Contemporary country singer Martina McBride rose to stardom in the late '90s, starting out with a more traditionalist approach and later moving into more pop-friendly territory.
