If you are a fan of Gypsy King you will be delighted by this DVD.

Why did I not give the DVD 5 Stars? The Gypsys had better and more energetic performances when they were younger, but we are all getting older, so we should overlook that.

- Much better than suggested by the average rating

At the time of writing this review, the average rating on Amazon is 3 stars - out of six reviews, two are 1-star for reasons that have nothing to do with the actual performance. I do think, though, that the Gipsy Kings deserve a far better rating than that for this performance.

I have been a casual fan of their brand of flamenco since the late eighties, but have never seen them perform, either live or recorded. I picked this up by chance while browsing around one day.

Definitely well worth it! The setting is unususal, and the stage setup is pretty minimalist, but these guys perform from their hearts. The guitar playing is fascinating and the backup musicians are excellent. The concert has a good mix of up-tempo hits and more mellow, romatic tunes. The passion these guys bring to their music is evident in their singing and playing, and they all seem expert at doing both.

The video quality is very good in 16:9 aspect ratio, and appears to have been filmed in high defintiion. Likewise for the audio - both the Dolby and DTS surround tracks sound great on my home theater system. I've been watching this DVD a quite few times since it arrived, and it's definitely still growing on me. Very glad I got this!

- Good Performance with Equal Quality Audio and Video

The venue is interesting. Gypsy Kings fans will enjoy the quality of the audio and camera work of the band. Many of their hits are included in the performance.

- Why the mystery?

OK, so Amazon now lists three different DVDs that are all named "Gipsy Kings: Live at Kenwood House in London." So, are these all the same DVD, with different packaging? Or are they different concerts?
