"Back in 1982 Dolly Parton did a world tour that included a stop in London. That show was recorded for HBO and released on VHS in 1983. That show is one of my favorites but long out of print. In 2008 Dolly was once again in London and 25 years later she's showing that she's still got it. I've seen Dolly's live show five times over the past few years. "Dolly Live From London" is the show you see when you go to see her. Some of her stories have been edited out (she does a lot of talking in between songs) but for the most part you get the show as you would see it live. Dolly's jokes haven't changed much since that 1983 show, but she has the ability to deliver them as if it's the first time she's ever told them.

Musically you get all the hits you'd expect to hear. Yes, the show is as fun as it looks on video. If you haven't gotten the chance to catch her live then "Dolly Live From London" is just what you need. After watching/listening to it, you'll want to make sure you get a ticket next time she's in your town!!"

"I have been a steady Dolly fan for quite a while now and I have really nearly listened or seen everything she has ever done, but I have yet to see her LIVE! I walked in a 24 hour store and got this as SOON as it hit the shelf! It was thoroughly impressed, to say the least! Dolly shows no signs of losing ANY vocal control or range for being in the industry for over 55 years, that alone is nothing short of a miracle. She sang all her classics and even did some of her most recent hits. The most important part of this 2 CD Combo is the DVD. You really get to see Dolly and connect with her as if you were at the show yourself. A true showman, Dolly makes you laugh with her country charm and then makes you darn near cry with her well crafted ballads. The audio is superb! With Live recordings it's near impossible to satisfy my ears, but this was an incredible performance that was recorded, mixed, and packaged flawlessly. I recommend this CD new Dolly fans and to her fans that have been following her for years. You WILL NOT be disappointed!"

"This is by FAR Dolly's Best LIVE Album to Date ! I Received this CD/DVD in My Dolly Records LFL Package that I Pre-Ordered from [...]! Let Me Tell You, it was Worth Every Penny ! Aside from the New Album, it Included a 14x22 Authentic Hatch Show Print, which was Printed in the Historic Nashville Print Shop , and Dolly Autographed it By Hand in Black Sharpie. An Amazing Poster to go with an Amazing New Live CD/DVD. Speaking of the DVD Portion, the Extras are STUNNING and The Actual Concert is PHENOMENAL in every Aspect of the Word ! The Way the Audience Interacts is Amazing ! I Definitely Recommend this Album to EVERYONE ! You Will Not Regret it , I promise :) 1,000,000 Stars and THEN Some !"
