The best live cd I have heard in awhile.....

I'm not going to dazzle you with my knowledge of the Billboard chart (which I don't have any of just ask my friend) "The Dance" is an awesome reunion/live cd it showcases each of the members doing the best they can at what they are doing. There are some great live versions of the classics on this album. Landslide, Rhiannon, Dreams, and Sweet Girl (which is a new tack) all show off Stevie Nick's unique voice, while Everywhere, Say you love me, Don't Stop, and one of my favorites You make loving fun lets Christie McVie have a turn being in the spotlight.  I'm so afraid, Big love, Bleed to love her, and Tusk let Lindsay Buckingham show that he can sing and not just play his quitar. And Mick Fleetwood sounds awesome on his drums. I personally think that Tusk sounds better on here than it did when it was first made. I never knew that I would ever like Fleetwood Mac until a friend made me some tapes with some of their stuff on it, now I am hooked. If you like their old stuff this cd gives them all a new twist.

This is wonderful!!!! I have not stopped keeping it in my car CD since I bought it.  It is now my favorite CD--the cd about the band is worth seeing to appreciate 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.

I came to this party late, but glad I finally got there. I have long been a Bryan Adams fan but sort of fell out with the movie soundtrack stuff. I recently picked up this now 3 yr old CD and WOW!!!!! This is truly best of past, present, and I hope the future Bryan Adams. I have been listening to the CD incessantly for 3 weeks and just do not tire of any of the songs. It flows so smoothly with a mix of rockers, mid tempo, some ballads, and a mature subject matter content coupled with still youthful music. This CD clearly got lost in the shuffle of various factors. It is not too late...go get it and make believe it came out today...it sure sounds like it.
For those of you who admire audio production values, the CD is of spectacular production quality. The wonders of digital audio production are abundant here. Turn it up and let it crank...you will love it! Also novel is the way the disc flows, at times almost concert like in the way one song merges into the next. This creates a very nice effect.
Get this CD....5 Stars ...no question!

This is by far one of the best CD's I have lsitened to. It is nice to hear something that is different, without being work to listen to. If you have not bought a CD in a while that you listen to every track over and over....this is it.

Never got to see them live but if this is even close to what they sounded like on stage I wish I had. Excellent sound, great live set. The songs come across so clean and tight. What a great live CD. If you like Roxy music this is a must have in your collection. May be a long time before I grab another Roxy CD to listen to. This one has it all.

This is one of the best CDs I own. I swear, I am in love! There is but one song on this disc that is bad, and that is Wake Up. But except for that, it is fantastic! Alanis's voice itself is not so hot, but she has one helluva  band behind her and her songs are meaninbgful and rockin!!!! All in all,  this is best CD, like, ever. The three best songs are You Learn, Right  Through You and Hnad In My Pocket.

I just got done listening to a preview of the whole cd and it is amazing... It really makes up for their last cd which I did not like very much... the vocals have really improved... and there is not much rap... yet it have a very oldschool 311 feel to it... awesome cd go out and buy it tomorrow... I will be there when the store opens for it!

Just saw these ladies at ACL Fest in Austin and they blew me away. The CD is so good, too. I can now see what all the fuss is about. The CD isn't quite as rockin' as the live show but still great. The phrasing and musical choices are just so interesting and not a copycat of anything else out there.

This CD shows how much raw talent Slightly Stoopid has.  This band is amazing. I am not messin' around when I say that they are the next Sublime.(Although we all know that that can never actually happen, there's only 1 Sublime).  Theres another reveiwer that said that the lead singer has a bad voice....F**k that guy and his damn opinion.  He obviously doesn't know what he is talking about.  The band (at this point in there career) only had a guitarist and a bass player. Miles (Guitar & one of the greatest voices i'v ever heard) and Kyle (bass player, vocalist) put out an excelent CD.  On this CD there's no bass just 2 acoustic guitars.  I've seen these guys in concert.  Wow...Acoustic or electric, they bring their A+ Game.  Miles and Kyle can play both guitar and bass, and they both sing, they both have great voices and great lyrics. Every song on this CD is excellent.  The very last song(Ain't No Prophet)  is a great song.  This is their third CD.  Their first self-titled CD is more punk rock, and is also out of print so you can't find it, their 2nd CD is when people started to compare them to Sublime. It is awesome.  Just listen to it and you'll understand. It's a hard CD to find, but go to slightly stoopid.com, then go to the merchandise section and you'll find it. This CD(Live and Direct:Acoustic Roots) is a perfect 10, Their newest CD (which is out every where) is called Everything You Need.  It's really everything you will ever need in a CD.
But over all I suggest buying this CD first so that you can get into the band and see what thier all about, then move on to The Longest Barrel Ride, and so on.
Just BUY THIS CD....You won't be dissapointed............PEACE

This new Dave Matthews CD is great!!! I love his voice in every single song especially "Granny," and also "The Song that Jane Likes," is incredible! This band has only gotten better over the years and "The Gorge," is a testament to that fact. The DVD is also wonderful and has several feastures which are worth the price of the CD alone. I'm telling you that you need to rush out and purchase this CD A.S.AP!!!!

These guys are so great!! Their live show is one of the best I have ever seen, by any band. I have never left one of their shows feeling unhappy. This cd is only a taste of what you will get from these guys live. But just like their live show, every song on the cd will have you hoping for more!! You should buy this cd immediately..these guys deserve it.

I'm hoping to heaer more from Gel-Sol as the 2 CDs I own by him are simply amazing. It's hard to find solid CDs like this in today's day and age of the crowded "electronica" scene. I've played this CD over and over from start to finish without skipping any tracks. This is a great CD for late night listening or even starting off the day with a nice sunrise. The future of music starts here..................

Easily the best cd I purchased in 2016 so far.  I'm an audiophile and I buy about 1-3 CDs every month.  This one is very well crafted and the musicianship is first rate.  I simply love it and listen to this cd very often.  It relaxes me and opens my heart.  The cd mastering is average, hence 4 stars. Instead of 5.  The quality of the recording is an important factor for me because my system is so resolving that it exposes this piece.  The music is so beautiful that I don't worry about it.

I also have 'A creature I don't know' and 'I speak because I can' and I like this one the best and A Creature following close behind.  I find I speak because I can, in third place.  I just ordered 'A Short movie' and I'm excited to hear this one....

What can I say but this is an AMAZING CD.  I first saw Maroon 5 on "Last Call with Carson Daly" on NBC last September 2002.  I was replaying a tape I had made of the previous night's show to watch when I came home from work. (I can never stay up late enough to watch the original broadcasts).
It was near the end of the show, and Carson had spent most of the program interviewing some actress (Parker Posey or Piper Perabu -- someone with a lot of 'P's in their name) and I got up to get some food.  I was half way to the kitchen and I started hearing this unbelievably funky music coming out of my TV.
I ran back to my set, and I couldn't believe my eyes.  There were five white guys playing the most soulful, funky music I've heard in a L-O-N-G time.  Maroon 5 played their first single, "Harder to Breathe".  I was impressed enough to save their performance on tape instead of taping over it with the next night's show.
I'm an R&B fan mostly, and I have a pretty good knowledge of most soul and R&B music. I know there hasn't been an R&B or soul band on the charts since Toni, Tony, Tone (Raphael Sadiq) called it quits in 1996.  Maroon 5 is a unique combination of soul, funk and rock music.  The closest comparison I can come up with is the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and as much as I like the Chilli Peppers, I think that Maroon 5's lead singer, Adam Levine, has a voice with more range than Anthony Kiedis of the Chilli Peppers.
I made a mental note to myself to check out their CD the next time I had a chance, and when I was at Borders a few days later, I sampled selections from their CD, "Songs About Jane".  You know you have a keeper when you don't even skip over tracks when you're sampling the CD in a record store.  I bought the CD right there, played the CD in my car the rest of that day,  and it has been in heavy rotation in my CD changer ever since.
I also caught Maroon 5 live opening for O.A.R. at the House of Blues in L.A. last November 2002.  I was totally blown away.  They are a phenomenal live band -- raw, hot, sexy, full of kinetic energy.
Since then, I learned that 4 out of 5 of the members  of Maroon 5 are from right here in L.A.(my home). They have got to be L.A.'s best kept secret.  When I look at the stuff that's on the charts right now, I don't see any bands that even come close to what they are doing, which explains why they haven't broken out yet. But it will happen, believe me it will happen.  Real SOON.
I just bought tickets to see them perform as a headliner this time at the House of Blues on January 27, 2003 and I know they are going to set that stage on fire.
Even John Mayer (grammy nominee), who Maroon 5 supported on part of his last tour, is singing their praises.  In an ad for their upcoming House of Blues shows, he is quoted as saying the following about Maroon 5:  "The perfect blend of melody & grit.  One of the best bands to come along in a while."
If you like funk/rock  or rock/soul music -- heck if you like music that has a fantastic melody, and lyrics that complement the music perfectly, you will love this CD.
Don't sleep on this one!  You will be sorry you did.
