Y UN DIA VOLVIERON
Para todos los fans de DPM, estos 2 DVDs y un CD son simplemente extraordinarios.
hold the camera still
cinematography is crap..too many cheap effects...jump cuts, makes for a rough viewing especially compared to devotional or one night in paris..also the sound is flat...does not seem to be very inspired...

The best DM live dvd by far
This is by far the most enjoyable dvd by DM. Yes i am sure that Devotional DVD and Exciter DVD were great but in terms of denstiy and powerful, it seems that this dvd is better, Anton is great for making music video but i don't think he is good for live performance as the camera angels in Devotional DVD and Exciter DVD looked plain and focus too much on the screens and stage (which he designed).Yes, i agreed with other reviewers that there're a bit too much of effect on this

Not their best, but not horrible
I have every album these guys have put out, and I must admit I was a but dissapointed when I listened to this concert. The thing about DMB is that they are always changing and trying new things. The addition of Rashawn Ross is great for the new songs, but hearing him play on the old songs takes some getting used to. Out of all the songs my favorite would have to be "Break Free." It is by far their best new song in a long time. Another problem with this show is that they made separate tracks for some of the songs that lead into other songs. I like to hear "Pantala Naga Pampa" go right into "Rapunzel" and "So Much to Say" go into "Anyone seen the Bridge." If you have it on an MP3 player it doesn't flow all that well. If you want a really good concert pick up "Live at Central Park," it's their best live album outside of the Live Trax Series.

nice collection of songs, but...
it just doesn't sound quite right.I am a big fan of being able to hear the crowd reaction on live albums and for the most part you would never know anyone was there.Of the live DMB performances I have, this has to be my least favorite.

Disappointing
This is a pretty poor set from DMB.While the rest of the band is, for the most part, in fine form, Dave's voice has never sounded more brittle.He is painfully off-key at times, in almost every song.Sad to say but I would recommend every other live album the band has released (and there's a lot) before recommending this one.A set for completists only.

Only buy it if you want the videos
Look, I loved Fallen.If I want to hear these songs then I'll listen to that.Frankly they are not the greatest band when playing live.I love the band, but I say stick to the studio albums.I only bought this to have the videos from fallen.I'd suggest you do the same.

Excellent live performance
1. Evanescence: Excellent live performance.
A Must-Have For Those of you That Love Evanescence
There is no question when I tell you that Amy rocks out loud live! She definately knows how to work the crowd. During her performance, she and the rest of the band do a KoRn cover of "Thoughtless" (which I LOVE) and also perform two other songs not found on the U.S. version of 'Fallen' including Breathe No More (from Elektra soundtrack) and Farther Away (from the Bring Me to Life Single and/or Jap. version of Fallen) Of course, any true Ev fan would already know all of that info. The dvd includes the entire live performance, all the music vids from Fallen, and some behind the scenes footage of the whole band. (Some of it is really funny) A great buy. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Immaculately prolific and blatantly ambitious, My Morning Jacket celebrate eight years as a recording band with what many refer to as a death knell: the double live album. Yet it takes but a single listen to declare that the brass neck and bravado pays off for this Kentucky band of longhairs, which released the 21-song epic as a companion piece to their concert DVD. Songwriter and singer Jim James's howling falsetto ricochets through MMJ's backlog of songs, which have been reenergized for the stage by the band's airtight live-show mettle. Dusting off remnants of the first two records like "I Think I'm Going to Hell" and the stunning "The Way That He Sings," then lining them up with the more contemporary "Gideon" and "What a Wonderful Man," MMJ never take their foot off the gas. In fact, rather than getting bogged down in concert-album fashion, Read more

One of the greatest live albums of all-time ****1/2
My Morning Jacket is an incredible band.I knew I could always count on them to release a solid psychedelic, southern rock record.But when "Z" came out in 2005, I was absolutely speechless; there was finally a band in the United States to compete with Radiohead, and incidentally, "Z" is probably the best album released since "Ok Computer."It took the band to a whole new level.They went from being solid to superstars; from doing obscure music magazine interviews to releasing a concert in indie theaters across the country.
The ultimate live album from the best live act these days
My Morning Jacket has steadily been climbing the commercial and critical recongition in the last 6 years, with 2005's "Z" album ranking easily as one of the best albums of last year. MMJ has built its reputation as a tireless live act, and finally MMJ releases a live album, and what a joy it is.
JamBase CD Review
The whole idea of a live album can be a bit tricky for all bands, especially for a great band like the Kentucky boys of My Morning Jacket. Let's face it - out of all the groundbreaking artists of the past 40 years who've cut a live one, about 90 percent of them seem to be sub-par. And no, the live downloaded Phish and .moe bootlegs that you listened to in your college dorm while sucking on a glass Jerome Baker piece don't count. Sure, the concerts at which they were recorded must've been enjoyable for the fans, but it can be very taxing when attempting to capture the essence of what it's like being there as a concertgoer in that exact moment. A double-disc album, Okonokos was recorded last November during a two-night stint at The Fillmore in San Francisco, while touring in support of their latest release Z, which was on many critics' year-end top ten lists. Okonokos exhibits the majestic semblance of MMJ's live shows and proves that they are not a jam band but instead a band that just knows how to jam.

Editorial Review

Longtime listeners have seen it coming:it was only a matter of time before John Mayer dropped the pop star pretense and proved he could really bring it. Chalk it up to one too many Dave Matthews comparisons, or the cupcake-sweet residue stuck to his image after the success of "Your Body Is a Wonderland"--but something convinced Mayer it was time to take him game to the next level. With help from studio pros Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino, he succeeds on Read more

Johnny We Hardly Knew Ya
Holly cow! This guy has been doing a little wood sheddin'. I have Heavier Things and it occasionally makes its way into the CD player and then back to the shelf. Try! stays in the CD player. A very impressive piece of work. Great song selections that carry a little more import than some of Mayer's own pop-oriented writing. But it's really the guitar playing, backed by this incredible rhythm section, that stands out. Mayer set out to prove something to his audience on this disc, establishing himself as a musician to be taken seriously, and he pulls it off convincingly. When you play in a trio format there is nowhere to hide, and Mayer stands at the front of this band and rocks. This is the best CD I've heard in a long time. Its reassuring to know that with all the drivel you hear on the radio, someone still has the integrity to break through the [...] and put out an exceptional CD.

What a concert album should be--a milestone for Mayer
. . .I am probably the newest passenger on the John Mayer Love Train here. The first song I ever heard was "Vultures" at 4:00pm the day I saw him in concert that night with Sheryl Crow in Indianapolis, three days before "Continuum" hit the market. I got to hear him sing it live that night.While waiting for Continuum to come out, I ordered "Try" solely to have "Vultures,""I Got a Woman," and "Good Love is on the Way" (I hope he'll release a studio version of this awesome rocker!) to tide me over, so to speak.But what made me a true believer once I got this thing in my hands was hearing "Out of My Mind."Close your eyes and you'll swear that Ray Charles is singing and Stevie Ray Vaughn is playing the guitar.But no--apparently this is John's composition, played and sung by John with--dare it I say it?--SOUL.And it's not even the peak of the concert.There's lots more to come.The encore section is 20 minutes long, including a raw rocking version of "Something's Missing."Yes, I have to ignore the sexist lyrics of "I Got A Woman" and just listen to that blues guitar wail, but after all, he didn't write that one.Mr. Charles did. There's a lot of variety here--a fun, funky cover of Hendrix' "Wait Until Tomorrow", "Daughters" (for those of us who can't get enough of "classic John"). The "green" song that follows "Out of My Mind" reminds me of the Beatles circa 1969."Vultures" rocks, of course--the only thing missing are the keyboard parts from the "Continuum" version.I love the way he ends this one--it fades out to him and this little funky rhythmic thing.
I Ain't Impressed A'TALL
OK, John Mayer, whoop-whoop; I saw him on "Austin City Limits" awhile back, and I (AND my Wife, too!) thought it was Nelson Mandela's step-son, Dave Matthews.And now, he's gone and 86'd Jessica ("What...ME worry?") Simpson, too."Fifteen Munutes of Fame," Johnny...OK, all THAT aside: I don't know who Mayer is (ahem) "cozy" with, because, like Johnny Lang and the aforementioned Matthews, he HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SAY.And, again: all THAT aside, how did this @#$% manage to get the Who's bass player and Keef's drummer to provide the thythm section for this mess?Save your money,or go buy Tony Joe White's newest CD. ...

Lovely treat for Sarah fans
I am usually quite miffed when Sarah and Nettwerk decide to re-release old Sarah songs but in this case I am *very* happy! This two-disc edition of "Mirrorball" is perfect for long-time Sarah fans as it covers her first four (and best) albums and it isn't as polished as the 1999 release. The sound quality is excellent and it almost feels like being at a McLachlan concert. An excellent addition for die-hard Sarah fans!

It's about freakin' time!!!
I found this CD totally by accident when out record shopping. I had to have it since I love the DVD and Sarah's more recent concert film, "Afterglow Live".

a classic live album
This is a very enjoyable, hard rocking live album.
This is the DEFINITIVE Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band performance...
If you want to know what a real Detroit rock concert was like back in the 70's, this is the CD. The performance, the production, the selection of songs - this is just a great concert experience - and its the only CD I carry in the car (I know it's 30 years old, but ...)
Bob Segar - Live Bullet
A timeless arena rock live album .Bob Segar at his best rocking Detroit in the 1970's.The hits of that time are all here-Turn the Page, Katmandu, Ramblin Gamblin Man, Travlin Man, etc.The Bruce Springsteen of the Midwest isthe best way to describe Segar's songwriting style.Bob pays homage to Chuck Berry with great rock n Roll riffs throughout and the rocking version of "Let it Rock".Bo Diddley gets equal treatment in Bob's cover of the song "Bo Diddley" that goes into Who do you Love.Great album everyone should own. ...

A Cheap Product....could have been better
I was worried about how good this would be when I saw the cover.It is a cheap looking cover.It looks like one of those junky CD's you order on late night TV.Maybe something KTel puts out.It turns out that it is not horrible, is actually pretty good, but it could have been much better.
5 stars for the DVD, 4 for the CD
I'm a fan of all the artists on here independently, so to find them here in one concert was a treat. The only problem I have with this package is that the CD leaves off the best songs from the DVD. Keb' Mo's blues jam on "No Gettin' Over You" overshadows "Love Letter." I just love the song "Papa Come Quick" so I wish it was on the CD, though Alison has a smaller part than on "You." "Well, Well, Well" is the best song on here, again omitted from the CD in lieu of "Two Lights in the Nightime." And Norah's "Tennessee Waltz" is much more interesting than "I Don't Want..."
Bonnie Is Consistently Good
Bonnie Raitt is certainly one of the most consistent artists of the past 35 years. While that might mean that her work is often predictable, it also means that it is usually very good. Since her debut, Raitt's approach hasn't really changed much at all; she still mixes ballads, rock, and folk-oriented music and infuses all of it with a strong sense of the blues. About the only thing that has changed over the years is the level of recognition that she receives. The combination of her voice and slide-guitar tone is now instantly recognizable by just about anyone, and here numerous Grammy awards have helped elevate her to a semi-legendary status.

Editorial Review

Subtlety is both a blessing and curse for Robert Cray. In the studio, his increasingly restrained arrangements have served to frame his growing mastery of classic Memphis soul, allowing his soaring, vibrato-rich voice to carry tunes that directly echo the Stax years. That can work well live, too, and does so here in "Phone Booth" and the funky distillation "Back Door Slam," an ode to sexy down-home belters like Little Johnnie Taylor. But too often Cray downplays his incendiary guitar abilities on stage, which makes long numbers like "The One in the Middle" interminable, and leaves this two-disc live set--recorded during a week of shows opening for Eric Clapton at London's Royal Albert Hall in May 2006--full of cold spots. Things heat up whenever Cray picks up his Stratocaster in earnest, whether he's plucking out fat, singing notes à la Albert Collins in his radio hit "I Guess I Showed Her" or weaving a slow, soulful path through the bridge of the ballad "The Things You Do to Me," using his whammy bar and unpredictable variations on the melody to conjure shades of introspection. Overall, this set will please Cray's die-hard fans, but is unlikely to lure new listeners. Read more

20th Flawless Anniversary Live Album
To write a review for any DT album is a very difficult task to me, because in my opinion Dream Theater is the best band I've ever heard, simply the best and therefore sometimes I feel I could not be very objective on my opinions because I really love this band.
Finally a great Dream Theater live album!
Dream Theater is great in the studio. But their live albums all are difficult to take because James Labrie sings consistently flat on ALL of them, which is a very big disappointment. (Want an example - watch the concert videos on the second dic of the Score DVD). I have heard this is because the live albums are recorded toward the end of the tours. Indeed, I saw DT in 2003 on the second night of their tour with Queensryche and LaBrie's voice was top notch.
Yet Another Live Album
What happened to Dream Theater? Why does the band feel the need to put out live material after every studio recording. There isn't that much new material to cover. Try waiting a few albums between live recordings. Not to mention the songs on Octavarium are pretty mediocre. Do we really need to pay for them twice? Of course if the gullible fans didn't buy every live album and DVD that was released DT wouldn't put them out. DT simply has become a cash cow taking advantage of it's loyal fans (myself included) who buy every little scrap they throw together.

Editorial Review

When Eva Cassidy is swinging her way through "Cheek to Cheek" and getting down and bluesy on "Stormy Monday" on this live set from 1996, it's nigh impossible not to get swept up in her voice's vast, barreling force. Her full range, though, becomes most obvious--and soul-shaking--on the slower side, as with Paul Simon's "Bridge over Troubled Water," Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Tall Trees in Georgia," and "What a Wonderful World." On these latter tunes, Cassidy's mix of aching clarity and rich warmth has a melting quality, speaking through the body to some evanescent presence that she seems to know all too well. She improbably makes Sting's "Fields of Gold" an emotional powerhouse just as easily as she makes Billie Holiday's "Fine and Mellow" an offhand declaration of feeling equal to nearly anything in the jazz vocal canon. In doing so she earns her place among the great singers--artists who could take any song and stamp it indelibly as their own. What Eva Cassidy had in her short life was an unbelievably perfect voice and a musical soul that grasped gospel, folk, blues, jazz, and all points in between as if they were mere stops on a single train ride. Alas, her ride ended in 1996, tragically early. Read more

Un-Friggin-Believable
I was first turned on to the remarkable Eva Cassidy a few years ago from astory done on her by CBC Sunday Morning.As soon as I heard her perform, I instantly had to find an album, for I was mesmorized.I wish I would have started with this one.Not that the others are bad, quite the contrary.It is just that she is one of those rare performers that when you hear them live, its 100 times better.
Mmm... it's just okay.
I had heard a few songs from Songbook in the store, and decided to try this 'live' album.Unfortunately, this was quite disappointing.Nothing of the magic that was Songbook.
AWESOME!
It's a shame we couldn't hear more from this exceptional artist. Eva takes me to another world with her soothing voice. I couldn't wait to hear this CD and share it with my friends. I highly recommend it! ... Read more

Unplugged: From "Friday Night" to Layla
The reviewer who noted that Clapton's songs are made fresher by being unplugged is right on! For me Clapton is one of founding fathers of electric guitar. His work in Cream is the subconscious. Here he is kinder and gentler, more subtle and, like a good wine, better than ever. I especially think this applies to the Johnson material (Malted Milk, Walkin' Blues). Let me note that the GODFATHER OF ALL UNPLUGGED events, ground zero for the whole phenomenon is also a guitar album, the best live one EVER recorded: FRIDAY NIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO (Di Meola, McLaughlin, De Lucia). Buy it now.

classic eric clapton
Many people have heard of Eric Clapton's music. Some people love him and some people don't. I believe that this CD show's his true skill in music (Eric Clapton Unplugged). Eric Clapton displays his true dominance of the modern blues genre. I believe that Clapton is the best modern day blues musician because of his master of tone.
A refreshing look...
I love Clapton, but of all of his albums this seems to be the purest in form. The vocals are excellent and the guitar work simple but exquisite. This may be my favorite of all the albums of his work I have heard. ... Read more

Kurts Finest hour
I was rather sceptical on buying this album since I already had the session on tape but being the huge Nirvana fanatic that I am I decided to purchess this album anyway. This is very easily one of the finest live albums ever recorded, not only does it capture the bands sound in a whole new light but it also captures Kurt Cobain as a performer at his most vulranble and bare best.
My Girl - Where Did you Sleep Last Night
This entire album bears the soul of Kurt Cobain, as did most of his work.However the last song, Where Did You Sleep Last Night is a dying persons testimony to a system that is demented.Take a look at the video.Its like the remenants of his soul went into the ending of this song.

WORLD-CLASS
I've never been much of a fan of "Alternative" music but this album is stunning. The band really shows everyone they are real musicians and artists. Kurt Cobain was a powerhouse of an entertainer and an open channel of emotion. This album is a fitting farewell.

Good to grove to
I wish it was twice as long. Great for the summer, with the windows down, heading to the beach. Love it!
good find
This a good small live CD. if you like any of the artists featured you will enjoy owning this CD. The seven songs leaves you wanting more every time track seven ends but it is still worth the purchase.

Reminds me of the beach
This is an awesome EP! And while it IS too short, it's also an... EP. So, why's it so good? Every song is smooth, feel good and funky. How could it not be with Jack Johnson, G. Love, Donavon Frankenreiter and, the highlight of the album, Zach Gill. When I put it in my CD player pure fun pours out. While all six tracks are great, the highlight is Zach Gill's Girl I Wanna Lay You Down. If there ever was a great make-out song this is it;) My other favorite is Free, written by Donavon, which is just so... free. When I listen to this EP I feel like I'm at the beach on a nice sunny day surfing with my friends and cooking hotdogs over an open fire. Awesome! ... Read more

The Floyd's most experimental work
Ummagumma was released in the autumn of '69 and reached #5 on the UK charts, it also broke the top 100 in the States, at #74.
Easily Floyd's Worst Offering!
This 2 disc set is easily Pink Floyd's worst offering of their expansive collection.It is odd because Waters and Co. would have you believe A Saucerful of Secrets and Atom Heart Mother were far more "Rubbish".However this helping really isn't an album it is merely a disc of 4 live recordings of older singles and then a second disc of experimentation.
Ummagumma
This is coming from a petit bourgeouise(and proud of it) reviewer.This seems to be a psychleediddleedelic effort.I know great things were to follow such as "Dark Side of The Moon" and "The Wall".
