Groban has made wise use of video and live recordings in his career, and this is another example of that, as it presents a deliberate contrast to the large-scale shows he has put on film previously. They are treated to songs from Groban's albums, in some cases featuring the guest stars who appeared on the tracks - Chris Botti on "Broken Vow" and Herbie Hancock on "Machine." Among the rarities are versions of Stephen Sondheim's "Not While I'm Around" and Charlie Chaplin's "Smile," both sung over a solo piano accompaniment. In keeping with the casual atmosphere, he sports a bedhead hairdo to go with his didn't-have-time-to-shave-this-morning stubble, but his rumpled appearance doesn't faze an enthusiastic crowd that appears to have a female-to-male ratio of at least 20 to one. The black and white music video details Groban's time on tour and the sometimes lonely moments of being on the road, echoing the tone of the very popular Netflix documentaries about musicians. Appearing at the intimate Rose Theater in the Time Warner Center (but with a backdrop blocking the usual view of Columbus Circle and Central Park), Groban performs 12 songs before an audience small and close enough that he can, he says, "see the whites" of their eyes. 'If I Walk Away' is from Josh Groban's Illuminations album, and the official music video has 3.7 million views on YouTube. For more information on when you can get it, find your country in the list below for the official release date. It will be released in the US on November 15th and various dates world wide. An Evening in New York City is a home video version of the Josh Groban episode of the PBS music series Soundstage, initially made available to contributors to pledge drives on the network's stations. Josh's brand new album Illuminations will be available in a few short weeks.
