I have all of Suzanne Vega's studio albums and have enjoyed her work over the years. But I have not seen many of her music videos as her popularity probably peaked with her big hit "Luka" in the late 80s (plus nobody shows videos anymore). So it was fun to see some of these efforts for the first time.

Suzanne graciously provides a commentary track for all the videos and although she stumbles along from time to time as if she was watching these videos for the first time in a long time herself (she even gets caught off guard once when she expects to see a scene that ends up not being there), she provides humor and insight into the videos and the songs. She makes fun of her "80s hairdos" for her debut album and "Solitude Standing" videos, comments about her concerns about making videos after she put on significant weight after having a baby (she looks great in my opinion) and expresses how her video to the song "Book and a Cover" (made in 1998) is creepy now due to the events of Sept. 11, 2001 as there is a scene where the skyline of New York, with the World Trade Center in view, is flipped upside down and a giant airplane flies under the Towers. I can see her concern, but the song (which was only released in an overseas collection) is really pretty good.

This DVD gives the range of Suzanne's music and talents. A must for the longtime fan.

I've been a Suzanne Vega fan since high school (I'm 33 yo today). I have all of her six CDs and have seen her in concert. Unfortunately, other than "Luka" and the "Tom's Diner" remix, she's never gotten much airplay or the attention her smart music deserves; thus I've not seen many of her videos. This collection is utterly delightful! Even if one is not a Vega fan it would be worth a gander to see some stylish and fun videos. From the sepia-toned "In Liverpool" to the kaleidoscopic "99.9," the videos are a visual treat. Vega has quite a presence in front of the camera - this was a nice surprise considering that her image has always taken a backseat to her music. The sound on the DVD is fantastic. In addition, there's a video for the song "Book and a Cover" which was only released on a greatest hits collection. I'd never heard the song and it's another Vega gem.

This is a work of art and anyone would enjoy it. However, if you're a fan, it's a must-get.

I've enjoyed Suzanne Vega's music for quite some time and I have to say, watching these videos does not make me enjoy her music more. The DVD is meant to be a collection of her videos and as such includes sixteen videos with optional commentary by Suzanne that can be turned on or off as well as an assortment of bonus material including an alternate video for "Caramel" and some promotional video materials. It's a very generous DVD and very well done, particularly for the price and my rating reflects this. However, I don't think this is necessarily a must have for a fan. As a fan owning all her albums and her Live in Montreaux concert video, I could pretty comfortably live without this one. This being said, it became much more interesting to me after I discovered the commentary which is filled with little bits of behind-the-scenes information. The promotional film for Days of Open Hand in the bonus section has interview footage as well as some clips of Suzanne performing songs off the album and is interesting as well. Still, if I were to lose this collection tomorrow I probably wouldn't make an effort to replace it. Everything else I own by Suzanne I would. It's not that the videos themselves aren't good. It's just difficult after listening to the songs for so long, I think, to put much into someone else's visual interpretation of them.

Yow! Foxy Lady, over here!

Suzanne inspired me to get off my butt and pick up a guitar again (and this time, learn how to play it!); this collection of vids covers nearly her entire career, from 'Suzanne Vega' to 'Songs In Red And Gray'.

The only omission from the collection is the original 'Tom's Diner', which she sung acapella, near a window at the cafe. In its place is the DNA-produced, British remix-video, with footage of Suzanne from 'Men In A War', thrown into the performances shot in England. Her commentary track is rather funny: she was entirely confounded that they didn't get her for the video; she would have done it with them.

Included on the dvd is a promo film for 'Days Of Open Hand' (a title culled from lyrics for 'Book Of Dreams', from the album), with a partial film clip of Suzanne performing 'Men In A War', onstage; promo spots for '99.9*', and 'Songs In Red And Gray'; a rarities section of foreign album covers; and, best of all, a feature-length commentary by the original mistress of folk/pop/alt herself!

So, for all you would-be folk smoothies out there, get off yer collective kiesters and get a look/listen at this here collection. You won't be dissipated!

I've been a silent child of the eighties all my life. As such, finding all the greatest hits from this guitar-wielding lady is truly rare! And they ARE IN MTV format no less! I've lost my Suzanne Vega-TRIED and TRUE album and I have to admit, this DVD is WAY better than that audio CD coz it blew away not just my sense of sound but sight as well!

Thank you Amazon for having it in the market. My walls of nostalgia are furthermore built with the addition of this rare gem! To listen to Vega's silken, thought provoking songs is a joy, to see them on screen is a DELIGHT!
