  4 Nights at the Palais Royale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4 Nights at the Palais Royale is a live album released by the Canadian rock band Sloan in 1999.
It was recorded from four live shows performed at the Palais Royale in Toronto, Ontario, in 1998 (although some of the songs were taken from other concerts on their 1998 tour).
The band and fans alike consider it a fairly accurate representation of a typical Sloan concert, with a mix of old and new songs and plenty of audience participation.

The single most impressive moment, though, may be when the band adapts the noisy psychedelic extravaganza "Anyone Who's Anyone" to the requirements of the stage.
Canadian power-pop superstars Sloan celebrate their dominance with this double-live-CD set, recorded largely during a multi-evening stand at a Toronto theater in 1998.
Most of 4 Nights of the Palais Royale's meaty performances at least equal their studio versions, with a stripped-down 'Everything You've Done Wrong' and a cranking 'Money City Maniacs' among the highlights.

Songs spanning their entire career from the shoegazing Peppermint EP to last year’s FM pop rawk masterpiece Navy Blues were kicked out with the kind of atomic energy that usually marks goodbye or reunion shows.
Sloan’s crowd-pleasin’ prowess is in full glory during 4 Nights at the Palais Royale, which is an animated sample of the pop paragons at their best.
The charisma and sugary talent of this band come beaming through every zinger during 4 Nights (which will no doubt turn into a slushy and sentimental trip when all of us are in our late 40s).

4 Nights at the Palais Royale is the crowning element of a complete Sloan collection.
One of the most impressive things about Four nights is that nothing has been over-dubbed or studio improved.
I've had the opportunity of attending one of the nights at the Palais Royale and I will say that it was absolutely amazing.

Taking cues from Rush's All the World's a Stage and Kiss' Alive!, Sloan released its 1999 double live CD 4 Nights at the Palais Royale at the perfect time -- the band had honed its chops since 1996, and Navy Blues was less than a year old.
Recorded in Toronto in November 1998, this double live CD is a snapshot of the band: fun, endearing, and eager to please.
For fans who have never seen Sloan perform, 4 Nights at the Palais Royale is especially essential -- it takes you down to the main floor of a Sloan concert circa fall 1998.

 4 Nights At The Palais Royale by Sloan CD
Principally recorded live at Palais Royale, Toronto, Canada.
Sloan's live double-CD 4 NIGHTS AT THE PALAIS ROYALE handily dispels the myth that rock & roll died in the face of hip-hop and electronica in the late '90s.
Late-era Beatles ("Suppose They Close The Door"), the Raspberries at their sing-along finest ("Iggy & Angus") and Kiss circa DRESSED TO KILL ("Money City Maniacs") are all rock & roll touchstones taken from the greatly overlooked BLUES.

But for one night in 1981, all that is far in the future.
If the point of a concert album is to reproduce the experience of seeing a band live, 4 Nights at the Palais Royale is one of the most egregious failures in the history of the form.
And late at night, when Sarah and I are the only ones to have fought off sleep, it seems to me that she makes new versions of old songs because the only way to dissolve pain is to absorb it into your own soul, and convert its energy to other forms.

 Splendid E-zine reviews: Sloan
So rather than fiddling around, Sloan settle down to play the majority of the songs from Navy Blues, One Chord to Another and the oft-neglected Twice Removed, as well as the most obvious choices from Smeared.
More than anything else, 4 Nights at the Palais Royale reveals Sloan as a band at the top of their game, playing straightforward rock songs in a straightforward manner; you get the feeling that they'd be as comfortable and assured playing on a street corner as they are on stage.
And no, I don't mean you'll find it at every garage and car boot sale on earth.

The band went on hiatus and there were rumours that they had broken up, but in 1996 they released the widely praised One Chord to Another on Murderecords.
They continue to produce albums, including 1999's live album 4 Nights at the Palais Royale, and in 2003 released their ninth album, Action Pact.
They now have a US record deal with BMG.

On the other hand, the playing is sloppy, the singing is sometimes a bit off-key, and the band too often stops what they're doing to let the fawning audience fill in the blank--like in parts of "snowsuit sound" and "i can feel it".

Dropped from its label and left for certain retirement, Sloan instead retreated to conquered territory in Canada, where it stopped eyeing the fickle chart barometer and turned out two wonderful, less-hyped albums: 1996's One Chord To Another, a shimmering pastiche of '60s pop, and last year's propulsive, guitar-driven masterpiece Navy Blues.
With the latter adding to an impressive catalog of arena-ready rock songs, and a rabidly devoted home fan base already in place, Sloan has picked the ideal time to release a thrilling double-disc live album, 4 Nights At The Palais Royale.
Recorded near the tail end of the Navy Blues tour, 4 Nights was intended as a bonus for fans—only 5,000 copies are available in the U.S.—which probably explains the singalongs and waves of audience hysteria left in the mix.
