The best thing about Hootie is what is to be seen in this DVD: their live performances. In over a decade, they had yet to release a live DVD or CD; and let me say, it's about time! Darius Rucker has an amazing voice which will show even more in listening to him sing in concert. I have seen them in concert several times, and they are one of the better live bands out there. Last month, they cancelled the show I was to attend, but this DVD has made up for it! I think Hootie fans will agree that this is a real treat.
Hootie and the Blowfish may not be as popular as they were in 1995, but they are still undoubtably a terrific band. Yes, I still like Hootie, and I'm glad that I stuck with their music all these years. I may be a little young to like Hootie, but I grew up listening to them; my brother was a fan and is still a big a Hootie fan as they come. They have grown quite a bit since their first album -- their new songs are a little less Pop and a little more Rock and Country. But they still have their own unique and distinct sound.
