Combine some blasts from the past with a few brand-new songs, mix in an audience of friends and fans assembled for a special showcase gig, and you've got a recipe for a strong performance by singer Juice Newton and her band. Recorded in Los Angeles in 2001, the 16-song, roughly 75-minute show features Newton's brand of guitar-driven, crossover country music; not the world's most distinctive sound, perhaps, what with its oft-repeated themes of the heartbreak and sweet glories of love, but Newton is in fine voice, and the band is tight and rockin'. Some welcome variety comes at the end, when, after performing her two biggest pop hits ("Angel of the Morning" and "Queen of Hearts"), Newton brings out a horn section for a swinging "After Midnight" before closing with an a cappella "It's Late." --Sam Graham

Juice Newton's touring concert brought to you LIVE on DVD - Reviewed on 2002-04-07
6 customers found this review helpful.
If you are a Juice Newton fan, or would like to become one, you should attend one of the 100 or more concerts a year performed at venues all over North America. But if you cannot get to one, or would like to enjoy one in your living room, Juice and her group, the Regenerators have packaged up the "perfect concert" onto DVD. It is named "Juice Newton - Every Road Leads Back to You" after one of the brand new songs in the concert. The advantage of watching this concert on DVD is that you continually view the concert from the vantage points of a combination of five live cameras, so it is as if you are watching with five sets of eyes. The concert took place at the Key Club on Sunset Strip in California, on September 10, 2001 (one day before 9/11/2001). This DVD captures the essense of a Juice Newton concert, with the enthusiatic audience of many Juice fans. It brings you so close to the show that while watching at home, I felt like clapping and cheering after every number. This DVD is more than a concert production, it has an introduction showing the concert setup, and afterwards it has comprehensive interviews with Juice and her partner, Otha Young and her husband Tom Goodspeed, You can really get a feel for the personalities of these outstanding people. Also provided are audio tracks for four newly introduced songs.
By watching this DVD, you can get a good idea of what a treat you will be in for when you see Juice and her group live.
A terrific concert DVD...with lots of extras! - Reviewed on 2002-04-04

This DVD features a terrific 77-minute live show in which Juice Newton mixes several of her '80s hits with many new songs, making for a thoroughly up-to-date and enjoyable experience. Newton's records have never captured her vocal range, but this DVD showcases her considerable vocal talents quite well! Many of her most popular hits are included, such as "The Sweetest Thing," "Queen Of Hearts," "Hurt," and "Love's Been a Little Bit Hard On Me"...and Newton throws in an equal measure of newer material, making this DVD more about who she is as an artist than about who she was. The song choices range from folk to country to pop to big band to a terrific vocal quartet finale, all of which Newton handles with admirable panache...talk about a musically diverse performer!! The DVD also features a great interview with Newton and several important people in her life...it is great to finally get a glipmse of this private celebrity's personality. And this is one lady who knows her priorities, knows her business, and has her feet firmly planted on the ground. Another excellent feature is four new audio tracks, all of which are TERRIFIC. From the tender, moving ballad "Love Is Still Alive And Well" to the astonishingly delicate and powerful "If I Could, I Would," Newton showcases that while her days of being at the top of the charts may be behind her, she is producing her best music ever. Hopefully this amazing DVD will find a large audience. Newton's true talents have been a well kept secret for far too long.
