CD Details
Synopsis
Album DescriptionRecorded at Milwaukee's Pabst Theater in August 2007 this Deluxe Edition includes a 10 song CD and 28 song DVD that includes four additional live performances and backstage rehearsal not found on the regular DVD. Having wowed and dazzled audiences on his acclaimed and celebrated 2007 `Release The Stars' tour, Rufus Wainwright releases his eagerly anticipated new live CD/DVD `Milwaukee at Last!!!'. Rufus Wainwright's `Release The Stars' world tour lasted nearly eight months. Launching in London's Old Vic for a week of triumphant sold out shows in May 2007, the tour was taken around the world before being officially brought to a close in 2008 at Radio City Music Hall, New York City on Valentines Day. `Release The Stars' is the focal point of the new live CD/DVD with other highlights coming from Rufus' `Want One' record, a scintillating performance of Noel Coward's `If Love Were All' from his `Rufus Does Judy' show, plus a spine tingling acapella version of celtic song `Macushla'. Rufus Wainwright was fully complemented on his `Release The Stars' tour by his epic 7-piece band. Jeff Hill (Bass), Jack Petruzzelli (Guitarist), C.J. Camerieri (Trumpet), Will Vinson (Saxophonist), Gerry Leonard (Guitarist), Louis Schwadron (French Horn) and Matt Johnson (Drums).

CD Reviews
Even Better Than I Remembered! Angela Gustafson | Minneapolis, MN | 12/16/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I think this combo deluxe pack is amazing!
I immediately popped in his live part of the CD and listened to it over and over and then I watched the concert on his DVD, and boy is it better than I remember!
I went to this concert and was anxiously awaiting this set to be released, and even watching this concert again I honestly felt like I was back at it. Rufus is a great live performer and I would recommend anyone to go see him live. If you want to test run the atmosphere of his concerts, I recommend you buy this set and watch him. He is a truly great musician.
I hope that those who order this item are very satisfied with it. If I could have checked 6 stars, I definitely would have. This is a nice little gem to add to my collection."
