It's a great live solo cd

I had this imported from Japan, it should get a US release.  It's a great live solo cd.  Hearing stay cats and old rockabilly songs played on only a guitar with no backing is pretty cool and Setzer pulls it off.

I picked this up on CD years ago and loved it, and recently dug up a double LP version. This is really a great live set of a great live band caught in it's prime. The recording has excellent sound quality, sparkling highs and a nice fat low end. It sounds better than some studio albums as far as the recording/mix/mastering.

Some of these songs ('Waterfront' for instance) I consider to be even better live, than the studio version.

If you like this bands work, esp from the NEW GOLD DREAM / SPARKLE IN THE RAIN / ONCE UPON A TIME era, do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this!

I'm not sure why this was released.  Ozzy has alot of live albums out.  Anyway, this album isn't bad.  Ozzy's voice is excellent on this CD.  If you want my opinion get this album for 'Shot In The Dark'.  The best live  version.  Plus the awesome guitar solo at the end of the song spices it up.

Great live CD by one of the best female singer/songwriters of all time!

The more I have listened to it over the past several months, the more I like it...although I wished several of the tracks on the playlist would have been replaced to create a "best of-live" type cd...problem is that most of the material on this recording is from one cd. Still, it gets a 4-star rating becuase the music is still sweet as hell, and the live sound is very good as well to!

About the DVD...half of it can be viewed online...so save a few bucks and buy digital download version, DVD is not a must (unless your a hardcore fan I suppose).

If you're a fan of the La's, you really only need this cd for one song-- the great "Open Your Heart," which is really the only song on this album that actually sounds like the La's.
The rest of the early songs and sketches co-written by Mike Badger and Lee Mavers are mostly fragmentary; "Get Down Over" and the bluesy "Money in Your Talk" are the only other ones that register as memorable songs.
That said, there are some great moments on this cd-- the ghostly harmonies and lovely guitar solo in "Open Your Heart," the great guitar solo in "Trees and Plants," and the guitar work in "My Girl Sits Like a Reindeer," which is an embryonic version of "Feelin'." There is variety in the styles of the tracks on this cd-- "Sweet 35" and "You Blue" are jazzy, spoken word-type tracks; "Red Deer Stalk" and "Night Walk" almost verge on rap.
Overall the sound quality is just OK, since these are demos. There is a hidden demo about 12 minutes after the last track-- a "studio" version of the punky song "Breakloose," which is a better recording than the live version that opens the album.
If you're a La's fan, you may want this cd to complete your collection. Anyone else, if you enjoy obscure pop, you may like it, but this is mostly for La's completists.

I saw Pete last Sept. 2012. It was a great show! That is why I bought the CD.This CD did not have the same energy I experienced at his live show. None the less I enjoy this CD and recommend it .

It is about time that this live double CD came out.  With all the boy bands & teeny-boppers ruling the airwaves, GNR came at the right time.  This album has all the hits plus some surprise tunes on it (i.e. "Dust  'n Bones", "Move to the City").  I wish they could've added  the Stone's cover "Wild Horses", but oh well.  Anyway, this is a  great live cd.....much better than Aerosmith's by the way.

If you enjoy (or love as do I) Daniel Ash then you can't go wrong with his live CD.

The sound quality is solid and when played loudly you can almost see Daniel onstage, being the king of sustain as he is.  There is a nice mix of his work, including songs from L&R, Bauhaus and Tones on Tails.  I only wish the CD, which has the room, contained more of his solo work.  I think his solo work is very much under-rated and could use more presence here on his live CD.

If you have seen him live then you should find this a pleasant trip down memory lane and if you haven't heard him live then you don't want to miss this CD.

In 2016, Halestorm did a tour in support of "Into The Wild" and I got my first opportunity to see them live in concert.  I was not disappointed by the CD or the live concert.  Halestorm is a band that can't really be appreciated until you've seen them play live in concert.  No CD can truly capture the energy of a live concert, but this CD does a pretty good job of it.  If you haven't been to a Halestorm concert, this is a good substitute.

From what I have read this is their second live cd and it is pretty damn good. I recomend it if you love living colour. Funny thing though..there are no pictures or artwork inside of the cd and the bottom od the cd is blue like a burned copy but the top of the cd looks like it was made from a record company. It looks like it is bootlegged but it sounds pretty good. It is not real flashy with pics and info like there first live album recorded in 1989 and released is 2004 called "Living Colour Live from CBGB's".

I like it alot though. Even know they should have piced more songs and a better set list. I mean come on! they have so many other good songs as well.

It sonds like it takes place in a club too..

well..if you want live living colour buy this cd or buy "Living Colour Live from CBGB's".

I saw this group live in Montgomery, and the CD does a pretty good job of revisting their wonderful live show. Nothing could really capture that live feel, but there are some great songs on this cd, particularly "Evil Memory," "I'll Always Love You," and "Different Name." If you like blues, you'll love this cd.

Excellent CD, excellent live concert and excellent bonus studio tracks.  The live stuff is raw yet the band is really tight.  The vocals, drums, bass and guitar are mixed fantastically.  In many ways I like this live album better than some of their studio stuff, because this live CD is not too polished, and the raw riffing guitar, bass, drums and vocals come tearing through at the guttural heavy metal level.  I highly recommend this CD.

First, let me say this:  Every Counting Crows fan should have this CD/DVD in their collection.  "August and Everything After" is a classic CD, and this live recording does it full justice.  If you're a fan (and I don't think you'll be buying this if you're not) these are all the songs from that album you'd wish to hear live.

Oddly, though, this isn't *all* of August and Everything After.  "Raining In Baltimore" shows up as alt lyrics for "Round Here".  But it really works there.  If you feel like you need a reason to get this CD, I think an 11-minute version of "Round Here" should  just about cover it. ;)

There are more standard versions of songs on the CD, as well.  "Omaha", for instance, is lyrically the same as you'd find on the studio CD.  "Mr. Jones" also sounds fairly standard, although you can tell from Adam's inflection that he's having a lot of fun with it.

One of the things I really love about the CD is the introductions to "Perfect Blue Buildings" and "Sullivan Street".  They give insight into the songs that haven't shown up in past live albums, and they aren't the kinds of things Adam would put out in an interview.

Another highlight of the CD is the mashup of "Rain King" and "Thunder Road".  Absolutely amazing.

The CD ends with an astonishing version of "A Murder of One", mashed up with "Doris Day", from Adam's Sordid Humor days.

There are two negatives I can give you about this CD:

1)  It's not for casual fans.  The fact that you're reading this review probably means you're *not* a casual fan, but if you're considering buying this for someone who is, you probably shouldn't.  As a way to tell a "casual fan", ask yourself these questions about him/her:

a)  is his/her favorite Counting Crows song "Mr. Jones" or "Accidentally in Love"?  Then you can probably skip this one.
b)  If they *only* have "August and Everything After" in their collection, it wouldn't make sense to buy them this.

2)  I'm a little disappointed that the *song* "August and Everything After" isn't included here.  It seems to me that any live release of August and Everything After (the album) should include it.

But to sum up:  If you're a Counting Crows fan, you need this CD.  Your understanding of who the band is musically isn't complete without it.

No tracks from WOJ or BYD on this CD is a big disappointment for me, but it's a good CD nonetheless.  The Deftones tracks are solid, of course.  I was really impressed w/ 10 Years at the show and on this CD.  I may have to check em out some more.  The U2 cover by Flyleaf/Richard Patrick sounds really good.  The highlight is definitely "Wicked."  This CD is worth picking up if you were at the tour, but it's not an amazing live album by any means.

The Winos' best album was the live one (.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Live-at-the-Hollywood-Palladium-December-15-1988/dp/B000000WID/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Live at the Hollywood Palladium (December 15, 1988)</a>), so it makes sense that the live tracks on this single are great and well worth owning

I must admit that i was a little disappointed with the quality of the sound but am still hoping for a live set that sounds more like the YouTube version. "Sing to the Moon","Diamonds",Father,Father" and "Green Garden" still sound great but a live copy would make me much happier. Still, this is a great CD.
