About the film: It's hard to write something about SUCH artists, it seems that all the words have already been said a long time ago ... A wonderful concert of the famous and unfading Donna Summer, held in New York, in the famous Hammerstein Ballroom. She was called the "Queen of Disco", one of the few "long-livers" of the disco musical style. She was ranked among the most successful singers of the 1970s and 80s. Until now, she holds the record for the number of double albums released in a row, which occupied the first line in the music charts (3 such albums). She also became the first singer in the history of music, whose singles made it to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart 4 times in a year. Over 130 million records have been sold throughout her career. She has performed both in the US and abroad. The singer gave 7 successful world tours in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia.

The DVD is a re-release of the concert from 02/28/1999. The peculiarity of this edition is the format 720x480 (16:9) (against 4:3 in the previous edition), as well as the sound of dts 5.1, a different order of songs, a different boxing design and, as it seemed to me, a slightly different shooting. Although I didn’t understand exactly, since the wide screen gives a different feeling. The quality of the video recording, in my opinion, is much worse than 4:3, but I did not closely compare. This DVD can only be of interest to true fans of Donna Summer, who want to have a favorite in all variants and angles.
