A beautiful album -- and it's a double live set, dammit! Brilliant.
-
Completely devoid of instrumental flash, it is an album that succeeds on several levels.
-
It's a strong accomplishment, and if you were unlucky enough to have missed this intimate string of shows, it's a document that comes close to bringing the experience into your own home.
-
The sound of the recording is clear, the audience is not annoying and Haydens banter in between is quite humorous and as good as the music.
-
There are no real shocks or surprises on this album; instead a number of more understated delights come through.
-
Unlike many live albums, which edit out or otherwise correct artists' less than studio-perfect moments, this album offers Hayden at face value. It captures his faults, but it also captures his strengths.
-
The sad truth is that few of the songs top their studio counterparts.
