    Disapointing in length, a mere 35 minutes, but a great record from the most enchanting, yet underatted, country singer of our era. I was too young to see Patsy Cline in concert --she died when I was 5 years old-- but I have seen Neko Case peform live and I can say, without hesitation, that I've now seen the next best thing. This concert disc is a great reminder of those concerts, especially "Favorite" and "Wayfaring Stranger", two standout numbers from the shows I saw. I would highly recommend this CD to any music fan.

    Dear Guardian reviewer, This is what real musicians sound like when they play together feeding off each others energy. Maybe you should stick with over produced pop, try Ashlee Simpson. The only thing wrong with this cd is that is too short! Expand

    LOL... What's wrong with a "bar band playing songs for friends."? Ok, clearly, the writer for The Guardian, Adam Sweeting, isn't a golfer. *whew....glad thats over* Ok, this album keeps me moving in my chair at work and weaving in and out of traffic when in the car (kidding, of course). But really, this album completey rocks! Her voice is very musically delicate and the sound quality beats that of other live performances i've heard. My ONLY dissapointment with this album is it's length. Could've put some fillers on it?? But I still give it a 10 because whats on the album kicks some serious butt....... Adam Sweeting from The Guardian goes on to say that Case's song "The Tigers Have Spoken" is a "nasty little piece". That's one of my favorites! It's sad and uniquely beautiful! I'll, clearly, never read The Guardian Expand
