Up! Close and Personal
''Up! Close and Personal'' is the fourth live video album by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was directed by Beth McCarthy-Miller, and produced by team composed of Dan Braun, Cliff Burnstein, Carol Donovan, McCarthy-Miller, Peter Mensch, and Marc Reiter. The concert was filmed in November 2003 at a sound stage in Nashville, Tennessee, with an audience of 300 people. When conceptualizing the show, Twain desired to make the setting intimate and perform the songs acoustically, so she turned to bluegrass band Alison Krauss and Union Station to perform backup during the concert. It was also modeled after Elvis Presley's '''68 Comeback Special'', with a similar stage and Twain being costumed by black, leather jumpsuit. ''Up! Close and Personal'' premiered on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) on November 25, 2003, and was high in ratings, being watched by over 9 million viewers in the United States.
Nearly a year later, ''Up! Close and Personal'' was released by Mercury Nashville Records, in DVD format, as a video album on November 8, 2004 to coincide with the release Twain's ''Greatest Hits'' album. The video also served as a source to audio tracks used as B-sides for the singles from ''Greatest Hits''. ''Up! Close and Personal'' received mixed reviews from music critics (some who believed she was overshadowed by Krauss' talents, others who complimented her vocal talents) and positive commercial outcomes. It peaked at number eight on ''Billboard''s Top Music Video sales chart, and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipment of 100,000 copies in the United States.
==Background==
On August 19, 2003, Twain's concert film ''Up! Live in Chicago'' premiered on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) and drew in over 8.87 million viewers, therefore becoming the second-most-viewed concert film on television, behind Celine Dion's ''A New Day... Live in Las Vegas'' (2003). Following its success on television, NBC was interested again in collaborating with Twain for a second prime time special. Twain accepted the offer, but desired to deviate from high-elaboration, and perform a show much more stripped and intimate than the one filmed for ''Up! Live in Chicago'' or those included in her Up! Tour (2003–04). She explained, "I wanted to go back to something stripped-down and rootsy. I've been doing big concerts for quite a long time, and I love it, but I just want that contrast." Ergo, she turned to singer and fiddler Alison Krauss, head of the bluegrass band Alison Krauss and Union Station, whom she had collaborated with on numerous instances; Krauss and her band backed Twain in her performance of "Forever and for Always" at the 2003 CMT Music Awards, and recorded a duet with Twain for a tribute album to Dolly Parton. Twain described her decision to be completely influenced by her desire to "break the music down", and that Alison Krauss and Union Station were her only choice for the television special.〔
Krauss was apprehensive at first, noting drastic differences between her personal acoustic style and that of Twain. She stated, "It's so different from what we do, we didn't know what liberties we were supposed to take. Were we supposed to learn it off the record? Were we supposed to learn the themes?"〔 She found aid in Twain's then-husband and producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who told Krauss to perform the songs as if they were her own. While preparing for the show, Krauss found the songs very simple to learn because of their, according to her, catchy melodies and tunes that could function in any musical style.〔 While traveling on the Up! Tour, Twain decided to cover of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" (1980) for the television special. However, she edited the song's lyrics to void them of the crudeness she was not fond of singing along to as a teenager. Krauss later expressed her opposing views, saying she would have personally kept the original lyrics.〔 The show was modeled after Elvis Presley's '''68 Comeback Special'', with a similar stage and Twain being costumed by black, leather jumpsuit.〔 The concert was filmed in November 2003 at a sound stage in Nashville, Tennessee to a crowd of 300 attendants.〔 ''Up! Close and Personal'' was directed by Beth McCarthy-Miller, who also directed ''Up! Live in Chicago'', and was produced by a team that consisted of Dan Braun, Cliff Burnstein, Carol Donovan, McCarthy-Miller, Peter Mensch, and Marc Reiter.〔
