Dixie Chicks: Top of the World (2003)

Music. Great country music from the Dixie Chicks in an inventive stage design (opening like a forest canopy with a surrounding yellow-brick-road-like walkway). The first two songs sounded tinny and rockified but the ensemble warmed up as it went acoustic. The best numbers are "Long Time Gone," "Traveling Soldier," and the closing "Wide Open Spaces." The camera cuts rapidly between the girls, who wore different urban-grunge outfits in each of at least nine cities, but the one thing I never got used to was Natalie's Mohawk mullet and Piccadilly Circus outfit. Top of the World appears only by way of the music video (which is awesome) but it should have been one of the 18 songs included in the concert compendium that is this disc. 4 stars.
