The world can't get enough of Madonna, and with CD/DVD sets like The Confessions Tour dropping regularly, it's little wonder why. As a thrower of fantasy dance parties, she is peerless. As a physical role model for the 40-ish women who grew up on her music, she rules. And as an arbiter of what's going to sound shockingly original in any given decade--well, duh. The Confessions Tour rounds up songs from way back--"Ray of Light" and "La Isla Bonita" make the DVD, and "Lucky Star" and "Like a Virgin" are on the CD as well as the DVD--but this concert, filmed in 2006 at London's Wembley Arena, aims its sturdiest spotlight on Confessions on a Dance Floor, Madge's 2005 disco disc. You could argue, then, that unless you're in it for the sheer DVD spectacle (and what a spectacle it is), there's no sense in owning this package. Only you wouldn't be right. Because as any on-the-ball Madonna fan knows, what she's doing musically is telling a story--you may already know the characters, but that doesn't mean she hasn't completely reworked the plot. To that end, "I Love New York" gets its rock on, "Let It Will Be" has a musical temper tantrum, and "Hung Up" goes for the drama queen award. You've heard these songs before, but you've never heard them quite like this, to borrow a bad informercial phrase. As twisted and hopped-up as they've become, they're all worth getting to know again. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

The Confessions Tour, filmed at London's Wembley Arena during her worldwide sold-out 25-city Confessions Tour (2006's top-grossing tour world-wide), features songs from throughout the dance diva's career but largely focuses on Confessions On A Dance Floor. Bonus Footage on DVD: Je suis L'art, They're naughty children, Rollerskating, Photo Gallery

Best Madonna Ever.......2007-07-12

This is my favorite Madonna Concert ever. My favorite performance are future lovers, La Isla bonita, and Erotica ( best erotica mix ever) and of course Like a Virgin. Madonna showed alot of energy and showed how creative and original she always is. I cant stop watching it. Madonna Definetly is the Queen of Music.

The Confessions Tour, Live from London.......2007-07-05

Wow I pre orderded befor it was available in stores and actually got it the day before general distribution, A great DVD, don't care much for CD's I listen to satelite radio most of the time

The Evolution of Madonna : Pink Elephants & Lemonade.......2007-06-26

Its ironic that Madonna's better stage performances are all coming late in her career. "The Confessions Tour" is by far her most artistic, musically challenging and diverse concert tour, and this package only serves to reiterate what an astounding talent she is. This review is primarily for the DVD, as the CD is just the audio of the DVD ripped anyway.

Think about this - what other 48 year old do you know who can perform aerobic dancing, sing simultaneously, and hold a note, all while wearing a bikini! Well, I certainly don't know anyone like that, and what is perhaps most astounding is just how classy the entire act is, even through the admittedly sexually charged bits.

The best thing on this 2.5 hour extravaganza is "Erotica", a completely reworked version (in actuality, Madonna sings the original version of `Erotica' she intended for release - with the lyrics of a track called "You Thrill Me"). My favorite part is the last four-song segment, where Madonna introduces her `Disco' persona. Her backup dancers as ever, defy gravity and are good-looking to boot. One dancer in particular stands out - a skinny long haired young man who is as flexible as a rubber band. However, "Erotica" has never looked so good in any of its' avatars, and I thought this version left the studio recording light years behind - its that good.

This is also the first Madonna concert to feature so much dancing. Madonna actually dances frenetically to many numbers, including a highly stylized and choreographed routine with two female backup dancers to "Music". There is also a special feature segment that shows her practicing this - unbelievable. I have had so many friends who were dancers in their 20s who didn't move like this. I still cannot believe this is a woman pushing 50.

Above all, there is the music. Tracks that seemed weak on the "Confessions" studio album, are made more accessible here. "Get Together" which I always used to skip, becomes a keeper. Similarly, weak track "Jump" is actually listenable on this one. Some of the more interesting portions of the concert involve Madonna's friend "Isaac" (who even wears a turban at one point). I thought this was Mirwais, but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, when she tries to make this concert `spiritual' or `soulful', it begins to unravel. They should have just kept this entire concert upbeat and energetic.

No review would be complete without telling you the downsides of the product, and there are three here. One is the godawful version of "Isaac" that Madonna tries to pull off here. This is a poor second cousin to "Frozen", with a similar `Eastern' tinge to it (I could see where they were going with this one, but it just doesn't work). This is followed by a dreary rendition of "Drowned World" (possibly Madonna's greatest ballad), which is followed by the hideous "Paradise (Not for Me)" (which is a beautiful song, but Isaac and Madonna ruin it beyond recognition here). This should be seen to be believed. How they could massacre a simple melody like this is beyond me.

However, we're back in action with singalong versions of "Hung Up" (including a four minute shout-out/call-back to the audience where Madonna asks them to repeat "Time goes back, so slowly" in her infamously fake British accent), and "Sorry" (which has Madonna kissing one of her female dancers, and some amount of funky dancing).

Madonna sometimes exits the stage every now and then, whereupon her dancers take the spotlight and dance to a variety of Madonna collages and flash images. This is not necessarily a good thing - in fact, its downright boring. However, the `special features' on the disc, aren't really special at all. In fact, they are at best footage of Madonna rehearsing, with a tremendous amount of time spent on her dancers waxing about her in French accents ("I can't believe I'm really here", "Oh My God, I'm dancing for Madonna!", and "This is a once in a lifetime experience!" etc.). Nothing out of the ordinary, and certainly nothing to write home about. But the great thing about these is watching Madonna actually dance. Without the makeup she sports on stage, she looks much, much older, and quite tired and haggard, but who can blame her, poor thing?

All in all, this is a must-buy, even if you're not really a Madonna fan. I'm sort of neutral about her, but if I consider that I like this much more than some of the Rock DVDs I have in my collection, then Madonna must have done something right. This is a fabulous, colorful and very entertaining concert, and no one I know has ever regretted purchasing this. Yes, its very `pink' and targeted towards a gay audience in so many subliminal ways, but no matter what your demographic, theres no way you can not enjoy the sheer fun this is. Get it now!

A celebration of a great comeback!.......2007-06-26

Thank you, Madonna, for actually allowing the UNEDITED version of this great concert to make it to DVD...along with an excellent CD for jamming to in the car! I attempted to watch the NBC special and it was so cut up, it gave me a headache! I had went last July to Philadelphia to see this concert live...so it was great to see it on TV....but the editing was so horrible...I just had to turn the channel. The DVD, however, is a bit better, and it is great to be able to relive the concert over again from the comforts of my living room. All of the songs are great....and of course my favorites "Jump" and "Sorry" were the best (to me). I especially loved hearing the Pet Shop Boys (another one of my favorite groups) on "Sorry"...and that cool remix! I hope Madonna's next album is as good, or not better, than Confessions. There's no one better on the dancefloor than Madonna!

She is the goddess .......2007-06-11

I have seen Madonna live in concert several times. This tour was indeed the best. The confessions tour is a combination of the best dance music Madonna has put together and a show that is very similar to a Cirque de Soleil performance. Controversial as always and extremely contagious. I recommend this DVD to all Madonna fans.

Very bland and slow...........2007-06-20

OK, I am heading on vacation and making a mixed CD for the trip. I bought this album and wondered how many tracks I would use from it for my mix...I figured it would take up most of my mix CD. Well, it will take up none of it. Compared to other live OAR shows it is slowed down, flat, and generic, there is no energy to it. I love OAR and was VERY excited to get this CD as their other ones are just grand and full of catchy energy. For one thing, Mark's vocals are just like him talking not singing....he just let's the echoed mike do the output for him. He also does alot of, I don't know how to explain it, but that wordy kind of talk you hear from jazzy beatniks, where he is filling in improv stuff. Unlike other shows where the improv stuff is catchy and slide in perfectly this sounds forced. The music is flawless but uninspiring, their is nothing like the bass/saxophone improv like "Chariots of Fire" on the previous live album. They just play along. They have totally lost that reggae/pop/rock/jam vibe and are now more adult/prog/top 40's.
I heard that the band is revisiting their old material and retooling it as they get older because they were kids when they originally did it. But, I gotta say what I am hearing recently from them isn't so great, it is like "adult" versions of their songs...very over produced and plain so it is radio friendly. I found myself thinking: what would I be doing at this show live, and the answer is I could see me sitting on a couch sipping a martini talking to friends and waiting for it to be over (and I dislike martinis but it seems to go with the feel of this show).
I hate to say this but I'll have to hear their next live or studio album first before purchasing, they aren't on my "must buy no matter what" list any more.

Compared to 34th and 8th and Any Time Now, Live From Madison Square Garden is Nothing Special.......2007-06-08

After being a fan of O.A.R. for the past four years, their latest release is a big disapointment. I attended the concert with three friends and was fairly unimpressed after the concert. It had been my 8th time seeing the band in a little under four years. I had high hopes for the Cd but was severely depressed upon hearing the first song.

Growing to love O.A.R. over the past four years enlightened me to love their live shows/ cds much more than their bad quality studio albums. Live From Madison Square Garden, in this respect, is good because it shows the band in its live atmosphere. However, compared to the band's previous two live releases Any Time Now and 34th and 8th, the Cd flat out stinks. The best examples are the older songs such as Hey Girl, About Mr. Brown, That was a Crazy Game of Poker, and City on Down. The new release has possibly the worst versions of these particular songs. The improvisation within each song sound forced and are amateurish, and it seems like the band just tried too hard to make this release a good one. The difference of quality between the older cds is vast. 34th and 8th's "Crazy Game of Poker" is remarkable and possibly the best performance of the band on any one of their cds. Other songs on 34th and 8th and Any Time Now follow suit, i cannot think of a single song that is better at the Garden. Live At Madison Square tries to pack the same energy as the previous releases but sounds too generic in the process. The tone of the instruments, the guitar/ sax solos, freestyles, and even the set list are incredibly weak and do not satisfy the inner O.A.R. Fan that i have become.

On the upside, O.A.R. packs the release with a few new (and actually good) songs. Living in the End and Something Coming Over are good tunes. "Living" is a good pearl jam inspired song, and "SCO" is a cute diddy that everyone can enjoy.

Unfortunately, the Cd still does not come close to previous releases. Instead of buying Live from Madison Square Garden, buy 34th and 8th . . . it comes with an hour long dvd and two discs worth of music for the same price range and is a heck of a lot better. Any Time Now is just as good and I strongly recommened buying both. Unless you're a young O.A.R. fan i do not see a need to purchase this cd. If you loved Stories of a Stranger you probably would like this Cd, but if you hated it or thought it was nothing special, go with 34th and 8th.

Great band, outstanding performance.......2007-06-07

I've been a fan of Dave Matthews' infectious live energy for over a decade and have always wondered if any band could compete with DMB for title of best live band. OAR is that band. If you're only loosely familiar with them through their recent radio releases like Love & Memories, Hey Girl, and Heard the World, you're in for a very pleasant surprise. Taking nothing away from the album versions of those songs, they are considerably better live.

This version of Crazy Game of Poker is unbelievable and will have you singing along & dancing in your chair for all 17 minutes. It's worth the price of the album just for that song. Other favorites include About Mr. Brown, Anyway, Lay Down, and of course, the concert closer City on Down.

Buy this album, you won't be disappointed. After you've heard how great they are in concert, you'll be yearning to see them live yourself.

The Whoa! factor has just been established..!.......2007-06-06

Growing up on Any Time Now, my life can be described as me being a "pupil of O.A.R." I first picked up a guitar in 2001 and I hated the damn thing until I heard this band. When 34th & 8th rolled around it was like a Sweet 16 for my musical life. After a few years of seeing them live and listening to SOAS, O.A.R. has officially proven me wrong. I thought they were a great band and then they released Live from Madison Square Garden. Now I consider them the Best Band of the Modern Age. "The New Pink Floyd" is what I call them as I consider PF to be the best of years past.

Live from MSG packs 18 hits that will knock you from room to room, beer to beer and from smiles to tears. If O.A.R. wasn't underrated this would be the Album of the Year. From Love and Memories to City On Down this CD encompasses all the emotions we experience day in and day out of our lives. Each track holds within it a beat and message that transcends pop culture, politics and even religion. This music makes you look deep inside and ask yourself, "What do I believe, and what do I feel is true because the truth is all there is?" Coming from someone who loves to play and listen to music, I can officialy say this album gets the Whoa! factor. It is a story that, in the end, shows that normal guys from a little town can make it BIG just doing what they love. I know I long for that; do you?

The Definitive O.A.R. Collection.......2007-06-06

Having followed O.A.R. from a time when they were only a locally known band, this is a very important release for not only them but everyone from or around Rockville, Maryland. So how does this show measure up to their others? Does it pack the same energy and feel that other, smaller venues have in the past?

The answer is a resounding yes. O.A.R. brings every ounce of energy they have and bursts to life on the first track 'Love and Memories'. The energy in singer Marc Roberge's voice is intoxicating. Unlike previous albums where at times he can sound burnt-out or drunk, throughout this entire performance he is giving it 110%, flowing with the rhythms of the music while maintaining every tracks original sound. Small improvisations are something we have come to expect from O.A.R. over the years and are delivered with catchy lines that will quickly slide into the original lyrics.

Music wise, the band is on point with every single song. The added keyboards/synthesizers are a very nice touch and add depth to some of their older songs. The set-list is an amazing repertoire of their finest works; ranging from their first album to their latest release. Each song is given an updated touch while remaining true to it's roots.

Overall this two disc live release from O.A.R. is something any fan, new or old should add to their collection. Even if every song doesn't have you dancing, it will surely have you singing along to the catchy tunes from this amazing band.

Front and Center.......2007-06-04

I was there ... and realized during the imrov jam of "Forever My Friend" that I had tears rolling down my face. The music, the vibe, the interaction between Ray, CT and Larry was THAT good.

The sound on this disc is great - really captures the moment and includes a bit of Ray's chat with the audience. A video of this show would be to die for!

I was a bit bummed that "How Come" wasn't included, though, because this slower, more raw version (also with a kickbutt improv ending) was much more powerful than the commerical-ish version available on the "Trouble" cd.

He really left it all on the stage that evening.

Great reproduction of Ray's 2005 Bonnaroo show!.......2007-04-11

I was there, and this is a decent soundboard recording of the live show, though not the whole set. At least as I remember it. Good sonics, good selection of six tunes, one unreleased, and an appealing amount of crowd noise. If you enjoy Ray's studio albums, you should pick up this cheaply priced but rich concert experience that showcases his talent as a live performer.

sexy comfy.......2007-01-12

Ray Lamontagne is the sultry-smokey-troubadour of the 21st century. His painted words mixed with his warm sugar voice have you feeling sexy and comfy simultaneously.

This live collection of songs are testimony of his ability to hold the room in his hands with his voice.

All This Blood on the Floor.......2006-09-10

I have given Ray Lamontagne's latest effort (Till the Sun Turns Black) a 5 star review on Amazon, but the truth of the matter is, as good as the studio produced albums have been, Ray's amazing voice and vibrant emotional delivery can only be truly appreciated live. On a studio track, some of the things that make his music and his performance so powerful have been glossed over or edited out. Live, you are bowled over with the sheer ferocity of his delivery and his willingness to unguardedly bleed all over the place. The four minutes of the first track on this disc, "Burn," are worth the price of this whole CD. I'm not sure if he is screaming at you or with you, accusing or sharing, but it will knock you flat either way. Get all of this guy's stuff, but beware lest you dislike like "live" recordings and pass up on what is essentially pure, unadulterated Ray. You will surely be missing something.

rayok.......2006-08-04

The very first time I heard Ray, I was channel surfing and came across a concert of his being broadcast on PBS. His voice blew me away.
I don't think this is Ray putting out a live release. More like the folks at Bonnaroo capitalizing on the success of Trouble (since it is not under RCA - Rays label).
He's not the Allman Bros., but it is still worthwhile to hear him live.

Vampire Muzak.......2007-04-01

The music on the series was very effective and enjoyable, but being written in service to the story and visuals makes it a little unsatisfying with the music alone.

Exactly what I expected.......2007-03-26

I wish it had a few more darker songs on the album but what I got is exactly what I expected it to be. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Music to remember.......2007-03-13

The opening track of the album by Darling Violetta, is absolutely fantastic. Having all the Buffy albums and knowing how thought provoking the music is from that show, I did expect more from the Angel album. But it's still good music and any fan would be happy to say they have it.

Love the show - Love the music.......2007-01-20

It is wonderful music!!! It is as huanting as it was while watching the show!

more please!.......2006-12-05

One of my favorite is season 5 episode 6 "The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco " I wish this compilation include the guitar solo section. I am completely opposite to the one of the reviewer. I love the music part only. I find it inspiring. There's some Hans Zimmer style in it. I really dig it...quiet yet powerful. However, it start to become a little too formulated. Too much of the same thing is definitely not a good thing. Ahhh, classic tragic hero stories. I can't resist.

Customer Reviews:

Best Live Dave Alvin CD.......2007-06-25

Great CD, superior to Out in California and Great American Music Galaxy, with blazing renditions of Out in California and especially, Fourth of July.

Best yet from Dave Alvin.......2007-05-24

This may be the most well produced CD in recent years. Taken from the television show "Austin City Limits", it may be Dave Alvin's best effort to date. If you enjoyed "Public Domain", "King of California" and "West of the West" you will love this. With a combination of great rock and roll and contemporary folk, this CD hits the mark and more. In a time when many musicians just "crank it up" and play full tilt all night, the dynamics in "Barn Burnin'", "Mary Brown" and "Blackjack David" are an aural pleasure to behold. When Dave breaks into the chorus from the Sam Cooke classic "Cupid" at the end of "Border Radio", you'll get goose bumps. His rock and roll version of the Woody Guthrie classic "Do-Re-Me" is unsurpassed by anything released in the last 20 years.

Simply put, Dave writes beautiful songs about love and loneliness. His ability to lament the life that could have been along with his ability to celebrate the life that is, is inspirational at least, and quite possibly awe inspiring.

The musicians assembled for this recording are outstanding. In particular drummer Bobby Lloyd Hicks (arguably the best rock and roll drummer alive today) shows once again how less can be more. Another drummer may have overplayed these songs, but Lloyd is at his finest on this CD. Together with bassist Gregory Boaz, they form one of the tightest rhythm sections ever recorded.

If I could give this CD 10 stars I'd still try to give it 11.

Take some NO-DOZE.......2007-05-15

I am a BIG Dave Alvin and Blasters fan and have been for 25 years. The songs chosen to be played here are on the mellow side of the tracks. Big mistake. A couple of the songs lean towards the good rockin' that Dave is so good at. The rest of them will put you to sleep. The reaction of the crowd shows that most of them agree with me. If this band was anyone else, I would give it 2 stars.

Dismissed by some as the redneck Led Zeppelin, yet beloved by a faithful and grassroots following for just that reason, Lynyrd Skynyrd sailed above it all--even the dark tragedy that befell them less than a year after this landmark live set was recorded in Atlanta. A triple-platinum perennial in its classic-rock heyday, this 25th anniversary edition has been digitally restored and authentically remixed on vintage '70s equipment to great effect. The band's performances have also been resequenced to their original running order to accurately recreate the Skynyrd '70s live experience.

Even Allen Collins's later-overdubbed intro to their ubiquitous epic "Free Bird" has been restored with the original. Cameron Crowe's original notes are also here, long before Almost Famous, and he insightfully puts the album in its proper historical perspective. But the real premium here is the almost full disc of bonus cuts, including previously unreleased versions of "Simple Man," "Gimme Back My Bullets," "Workin' for MCA," "I Ain't the One," "Searching," and other alternate versions recorded during the Atlanta stand ("Gimme Three Steps," "Call Me the Breeze," "Sweet Home Alabama," "Crossroads," "Free Bird"), but until now scattered elsewhere in the Skynyrd catalog. --Jerry McCulley

Allmans apples, Skynyrd oranges.......2007-06-07

This is Skynyrd at their peak, I will argue this was the best rock band on the planet at the moment this album was recorded.

I could partake in the Allman v. Skynyrd argument for eternity. I'm a Sourthern musician myself, and I think there's room for both bands and both albums (as well as many of their other works) in any collection.

I find it intriguing that the aforementioned Skynyrd ripper listed later Black Crowes and Widespread Panic albums as better than Skynyrd live; the "Allman wannabe" label is a much better fit for those latter-day jam bands. All the guitar players I've ever known (including Al Kooper, who I don't know but who I respect the hell out of, considering his pedigree) thought the Skynyrd axe men were very progressive for their day.

The Allman-Skynyrd comparison is apt only from 10,000 feet. Yes, they came from the same area, and many of the influences were similar. But Skynyrd followed the more modern English blues-rock paradigm (see: Cream, Free), and they were more of a pop-song-type band (in the gunslinging, Allmans tradition, of course).

I would even venture to say that Skynyrd followed in the Allmans' footsteps. Indeed, Brother Duane is up there with Hendrix, methinks, and I find the Allmans' work during his lifetime unimpeachable and some of the best modern music ever made.

It gets iffy for both bands after their key members passed. Skynyrd was poised to become even bigger and better with the addition of Steve Gaines -- listen to the guitar work on "Street Survivors." And Ronnie Van Zant knew what the hell he was doing. Meanwhile, everyone knows what happened to Greg and Co. after Duane's untimely death. (I think I sense a pattern here.)

I saw both bands in the space of a year in '75-'76 (including all 3 nights at Fox for Skynyrd), and there was no comparison at that point. Allman biographer Scott Freeman considers that '75 Allman tour to be the band's nadir, and the Skynyrd boys were going for the gold about 9 months later.

I don't think any other Southern band has come close since then. . .

Great Live Album!.......2007-03-19

This is one of the best all-time live albums in rock history and it depicts Lynyrd Skynyrd at their peak. These songs never get old and are just as great if you are at a party or listening alone!

Capturing the essence.......2007-03-08

Lynyrd Skynyrd's "One More From the Road" captures the bands innovative sound live during the group's ascendancy. Their following during this time became more than a "cult" following and after having played on the road for years, their sound became tight and smooth. They could replicate the studio sound quite easily with some improvisation to boot.

Buy This CD!.......2007-02-02

Having seen Skynyrd blow the Who right off the stage in 1973 this album audibly shows what they could do. You can feel it. Southern Shmuthern! It's Rock and Roll at it's best. If you didn't know where they were from you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. People get hung up on this southern rock thing. BFD!! These guys worked to get where they got and are anything but mediocre. I've read the same thing about the Beatles.. that they were mediocre at best! Yeah right!!
This album throws you back in the seat from the moment you drop the needle in the groove. I've worn out vinyl copies, thrown many 8 track copies out the window of my car, more vinyl and cassette and have the original release of this on CD (that sucks) and now this. If you are going to buy only one Skynyrd album, make it this one. They never put on a bad show!! Not even the lineup that is playing today!! They can still smoke any band right off the stage!!

One more from the road Lynyrd Skynyrd.......2006-11-06

Great live album. I bought this on vinyl many years ago and still enjoy it today. Most live recordings are not very clear and leave a lot to be desired. This is one of the exceptions. I would strongly recommend this to any Skynyrd fan.

What k.d. lang branded "torch and twang" might serve as a starting point for a description of Neko Case's music, but the uniqueness of a style that incorporates country roots, punk attitude, and supper-club sophistication defies classification. Her 2003 debut performance on the Austin City Limits series (also available on DVD) showcases Case's artistry in a stripped-down setting, with stand-up bassist Tom Ray serving as a one-man rhythm section, Jon Rauhouse providing multi-instrumental virtuosity on banjo and a variety of guitars, and Kelly Hogan supplying impeccable harmony support. Case was touring at the time behind her Blacklisted album, though the setlist strays farther. On "Hex," written by Freakwater's Catherine Irwin, Case and Hogan could pass as the Louvin Sisters, while Bob Dylan's "Buckets of Rain" receives a languid reading punctuated by Rauhouse's Hawaiian lap-steel guitar. "Deep Red Bells" emphasizes the western side of country & western, with the more experimental "Maybe Sparrow" combining banjo and edgy atmospherics. Throughout, the bare-bones arrangements let the songs breathe and Case's voice soar. --Don McLeese

What A Songbird.......2007-05-23

Beautiful album from a wonderful singer. She mixes country and folk as well as anyone. You would never believe this is a live recording. Don't nit-pik - just listen and enjoy.

This generation's Patsy Cline.......2007-03-26

Neko Case is this generation's Patsy Cline only with more attitude. Her appeal crosses over multiple genre's but you can't quite categorize her. Pick up any of her catalog and you'll find yourself searching for more.

In Case of Neko.......2007-03-24

For some stupid reason I thought the songs would be new. Imagine my chagrin when I learned this was taped in 2003! Anyway, she is definately talented and I love her voice. However, Fox Confessor is my favorite of hers. Live at Austin is a good buy and I would recommend it or anything by her to anyone.

great songs and a unique voice.......2007-03-14

This is my first Neko album and boy what an introduction! Neko has a unique voice with a little country twang in some songs and a sultry blues sound in others. It tough to identify her style, but if I had to I would say its bluegrass. I can't wait to get another one of her albums.

Top Performance from a Rising Star.......2007-03-08

Neko Case shines in this live performance recorded at her debut on the television show "Austin City Limits." The recording and production values of this mini-concert are top notch, providing a balanced mix of vocals and instruments, including some stellar steel guitar work by Jon Rauhouse. Kelly Hogan, an accomplished lead singer in her own right, offers up backing melodies that seem to perfectly complement Ms. Case's range. But it is Neko Case's voice that steals the show. She sings with a genuine emotional intensity on "Favorite," "Behind the House" (which was previously unreleased, and in my humble opinion, one of her best songs to date, along with "Knock Loud" and "Hex," that is rarely heard in today's music. She also does a moody version of the Emmylou Harris classic "Wayfaring Stranger." In short, if this performance is your introduction to the music of Neko Case, it will have you back online shopping for more of her great work in little time.

Country music reclaimed its traditional soul with the chart-topping triumph of the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. This concert sequel, recorded (and filmed) at Nashville's venerable Ryman Auditorium, reunites Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss and Union Station, and other O Brother standouts. With little duplication, the selection extends the movie's revival of acoustic spirituals and Appalachian balladry, though the performances and pacing of the concert aren't quite as consistently compelling as the studio soundtrack. Among the highlights are a pair of originals by Welch and David Rawlings, the bluesy "Dear Someone" and the Everlyesque "I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll." Where O Brother interspersed archival recordings among the contemporary artistry, the concert finds Nashville gospel's Fairfield Four harmonizing on the chain-gang chant of "Po' Lazarus," while the late John Hartford (in one of his final performances) renews the deadpan whimsy of "Big Rock Candy Mountain." --Don McLeese

Good music.......2007-05-15

Good music but not as good as "Oh Brother Where are Thou".
Worth the money.

reasonable good CD.......2006-07-26

This CD was ok. I enjoyed the actual "Brother, Where Art Thou" soundtrack better. If you are really into these particular artists, you should enjoy this.

I'm a Dapper Dan Man! .......2006-05-01

I can't express how much I love this movie, soundtrack and documentary. It's a classic in every sense of the word. The movie is hilarious, the music superb and it makes me reminesse (pardon my spelling)about all those times my parents forced me to watch Hee Haw as a child. It's just the PERFECT movie.

Check this out .........2004-01-29

This is a cool movie no doubt.
I would have rated it higher -- had I not known that some artists in the movie have never been paid for their performance in it -- hundred of thousands of copies sold -- but zilch has been paid to at least one artist that I personally know.
THey were giving this away on PBS -- to those making a donation --he (artist I know of)is ALL over this movie -- but he has yet to be compensated or recognized by the movie producers.

Just try it, it is addicting........2003-10-09

I never thought I was a fan of this kind of music till the "Oh Brother" movie, but this "Down from the Mountain" performance has added to my new love. The DVD or VCR of this is also a must see, where it was good to get to visit John Hartford one more time. I really enjoyed the backstage, inside glimpse at the performers on the DVD. Every single song on the CD is a good addition to the over-all pleasant experience, and I suggest you buy this CD if you are a true lover of good music, no matter what type of music you prefer.

With a slate of more than 200 shows a year, Ben Harper has never been an album-tour-album-tour kind of artist; for him and his fans, the stage is the ultimate proving ground. So after four studio albums, Harper has finally released his first official live set, a 25-song double-disc collection that surveys each of his four albums and adds a couple of well-executed, if not terribly inventive, covers. Disc one is electric and finds Harper and the Innocent Criminals tearing through their patented mix of rock, folk, soul, and blues. Yet, the solo-acoustic disc two is the true prize, putting the spotlight squarely on Harper's incredibly agile, versatile, and enormously moving voice. In this pared-down setting, Harper shows an uncanny ability to connect with his audience, offering one spellbinding performance after another. Culled from two years' worth of shows--no two songs are taken from the same concert--Live from Mars provides a welcome overview of Harper's many facets. --Marc Greilsamer

Best Live Album I've Ever Purchased.......2007-02-08

Title says it all. This is the most amazing live album I've ever bought. From the harder riffs on Ground On Down and Excuse Me Mr. to the softer soulful Not Fire, Not Ice this album is amazing. Then there's Please Bleed, The Drugs Don't Work, Walk Away, and Roses From My Friends. If these songs don't tear at your heart then you've never been in love or music just might not be for you. Along with Blessed To Be A Witness they are some of the most powerfully moving songs I've ever listened to and the live recordings just add to it. I have nothin bad to say about this except that even at 25 songs IT'S TOO SHORT! I wanted even more live songs!!! Just an incredible piece of work. Buy it.

worthy.......2006-08-11

this recording doent fully convey the essence of his concerts. there are better recordings of each song one can find on morpheus or limewire. It is worth the money spent however, i just found that there were a lot more worthy performances of his out there.

To dig his music, you must bleed.......2006-07-22

Harper is one of the most eclectic and soulful artists that I've heard in my life and each time I listen to this live concert, it turns me inside out. When I am unable to understand my rage, my pain or pride, my bleeding, my state of mourning, my yearning for a lover, I play Woman in You, and I howl (shamelessly) along with Ben Harper, without censoring my fall and then my rise.
"Like a King" is one of the most harrowing songs, it goes back to the roots, an old gospel in form with a new story of another black man slipping into the cracks of this system. Originally written by Maya Angelou ("Still I Rise"), Harper added his own words, politicizing the song furthermore by introducing the name of King. "You may write me down in history / With your bitter, twisted lies, / You may trod me in the very dirt / But still, like dust, I'll rise." The gospel is dedicated to Martin L. King and Rodney King, both victims of white American terrorism. "You may shoot me with your words, / You may cut me with your eyes, / You may kill me with your hatefulness, / But still, like air, I'll rise." The soul of this song is old and new at the same time. It's meaningful in many ways, and the broken down chords are slow and grave. I weep each time I listen to "Like a King," and I bleed with Harper, because that's the only way to dig his music.

Best Live Album.......2006-07-01

If you have never heard any Ben Harper, or if you are the world's biggest Ben fan...this is the album for you! The double disc set really shows off Ben's versatility, grace, and style. This is one of my favorite albums of all time...it always makes me feel like I'm right at the show.

Buy it immediately!!!

ben harper plays the most thougtful music out today, but more importantly, his voice and his melodies really stand out as on-key and haunting, lifting and light. some of my favorites are glory and consequence (very lenny kravitz meets led zepplin)and the drugs dont work (tearjerker).

Worth the time !!!!!!
