MojoApr 20, 2012The highlights are among the closing duets, however, with both men warming to their task on a sinuous Um Canto de Afoxe Para O Bloco Do Ile and a delightfully rickety Heaven, Byrne screws up the chords, but they bring the house down nonetheless. [May 2012, p.87]

MagnetApr 19, 2012Better still is hearing Byrne's mincing yelp and Veloso's flickering vocals as one entity as it winds its way weirdly through the calm breezes of Talking Heads' "Heaven" as well as a small bunch of flowery nu-brazilian classics and cuts penned by both composers. [#86, p.59]

-
Mar 14, 2012The potential sparks that one expects from such a pairing take a while to ignite.
-
Mar 21, 2012For the most part, though, this show feels like two different concerts, one Veloso's and the other Byrne's.
-
Mar 14, 2012This is not necessarily a needless welding of two disparate musical styles, more a lost opportunity for a magical fusion of two sonic diviners.
-
Apr 13, 2012Live at Carnegie Hall may be forgettable, but it's a harmless and occasionally pleasing aside in the oeuvre of two undeniably necessary artists.
