 Jesusfreakhideout.com: Supertones, "Live! Vol 1" Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Oftentimes they're something a fan is excited for, snags the album on the release date, listens to a few times, and before the listener knows it, it's old news.
The album opens with the crowd chanting "Supertones," setting the mood nicely for the hard-hitting and slamming "Unite" from their Supertones Strike Back album.
The energy is captured very well with the power of the crowd noise (not too loud, not too soft -- so you know it's still live), the excitement of the band and just the all-around buzz the band gives off live.

 Grand Funk Railroad - Live Album Remastered - Capitol Records
As a high schooler, "Live Album" was one of the discs that was played over and over because of its intensity and the great songs of GFR.
In an age where much of the great music of the 60s/70s/80s are being licensed out to retro labels, it speaks volumes that Capitol decided to stick with their own and re-release Grand Funk's hard rock years as remasters.
That love dedication is revealed on this album of material recorded during mid June,1970 at several Florida arenas.

 ALBUM REVIEW: Live -- The Distance to Here
Perhaps the most obvious feature to be scrutinized is the overall tone of the album, which self-indulgently features more peace and love than a muddy field full of stoned hippies.
There are so many obscuring elements of the songs on Live’s new album that it is impossible for Kowalczyk’s didactic purpose to have much impact, especially when the point is repeated over and over again.
Overall, Live’s new album is a throwback to their seven-times-over platinum album, Throwing Copper (1994), and their often-ignored first album, Mental Jewlery (1991).

 Live : Throwing Copper - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
On Throwing Copper, Live tightened their sound, added crashing crescendos for dramatic effect, and injected some anger into their sound and songwriting.
The rebirth-themed "Lightning Crashes," the album's biggest hit, was written in memory of Barbara Lewis, a classmate who was killed by a drunk driver in 1993.
Its melodrama is a bit much, even for Live, and is just a sign of things to come on their next album, Secret Samadhi.

 Chicago XXVI—The Live Album Popular Music and Society - Find Articles
Chicago 26 is the second live album to have worldwide release.
An unofficial live album of the band in Toronto in 1969 has been floating around and repackaged again and again: terrible sound quality and lackluster performances make this an embarrassment.
They hired outside writers to pen most of their hits and the distinctive sounds of the horns were placed in the background (causing hurt feelings and rifts within the band, which ultimately led to Cetera's departure).

The accompanying DVD features 20 songs filmed from a live show in April 2006 at The Alley in Fullerton, Calif. The professionally shot and edited multi-camera shoot was directed by Jonathan London and features plenty of performance footage interspersed with the band's typically witty stage banter.
The album gives you the feeling of actually being at a concert, without the mosh pit and band, but the music is still there.
The album really captures the frenetic energy that is RBF's live show, and the production, for the most part, sounds fantastic as well- certainly better than the muddy mess that was the production on their last LP.

 Live Album by Grand Funk Railroad CD
This live collection is without question one of the best live albums ever made.
A powerful show, a very "live sounding recording," a feel which catches the spirit of the era, and a beautifully paced performance which shows just how effective live music can be when it is played with conviction, even if the players are not technical wizards.

 Live-Metal.Net - Interviews: Edguy
It would be boring for us as a band to record the same album over and over again and nothing’s changing but song titles.
I’m pretty sure that if we were to do like 10 more tours of the States and if we had the chance to play in front of many people that we could convince many of them that they would buy the record.
I still think that the most important thing is that if the band can perform live and present themselves live good as they expect to do, then they will get more and more fans with every tour.

Before recording the new album, the members of Live — all of whom are still only in their early 30s — put together a music and video retrospective spanning the quartet’s six studio albums.
They didn’t beat you over the head with a point of view because it would have limited the song.” “Home,” the album’s only topical song, is an anti-war song written from a soldier’s perspective.

 Queensrÿche: The Art of Live - PopMatters Music Review
In the spring of 1988, it all came to a head with the release of the landmark rock opera Operation: Mindcrime, which masterfully combined elements from each previous album, going on to be widely regarded as one of the finest metal albums of all time.
From 1994 to 2003, Queensryche proved to be a very resilient bunch, enduring the grunge-crazed early 1990s, releasing four albums, but despite making it through the decade intact, the music they produced was often uninspired, as each album was bogged down by tedious, boring music, the progressive tendencies of the previous decade a distant memory.
After a yawn-inducing selection of later material (save for 1994's "Sign of the Times", which was never all that bad), the band resorts to the tired old "unplugged" gimmick, pulling out the stools and acoustic guitars, lazily picking their way through a couple of new songs that fall flat ("My Global Mind", "Rhythm of Hope").

This album captures an emerging, not-yet-cohesive Grand Funk Railroad on the cusp of stardom.
This album, as well as the First and Second albums are still reference issues, and even cult recordings (fellow journey `s partners in my tenths) because it's useless to pretend or even resume the importance on the stage.

It isn't that this is a bad album, it's just that the material isn't as strong as the rest of his albums.
It's that other live album that contains all of his classic songs, such as "The Road Goes On Forever" and "Five Pound Bass." This earlier live album doesn't contain most of the Keen songs that have gone on to become his concert staples in more recent years.
The best thing about REK's first live album is definitely the stories - the yarns he spins during The Front Porch Song and The Bluegrass Widow are absolute gems.

 Leftover Salmon - Live (Album Review)
Even if one gives Leftover Salmon the benefit of the doubt and concedes that it is undeniably a group that is best seen in concert, neither of its previous live efforts really does much to showcase the ensemble at its best.
Likewise, he contributes the album’s two best compositions (Bill’s Boogie and Railroad Highway), each of which bakes the band’s Rocky Mountain bluegrass into a Southern-fried mixture of Little Feat and the Allman Brothers Band — a blend that has long bubbled beneath the surface of Leftover Salmon’s music, but has never materialized fully.
With Live, the ensemble proves that it most definitely has matured, while also demonstrating that it can still have a whole lot of fun.

 Cindy Morgan
Cindy Morgan's debut album may have been called Real Life, but the story of her career reads more like a fairy tale.
With that in mind, Cindy used her inherited gift for songwriting to pen a song on her new album, "Someone Believes In You," inspired by the sacrifices made by her parents on her family's behalf.
It's a project that's even more personal than her stunning debut, owing to the fact that several of the songs on A Reason To Live are Cindy's solo compositions, straight from the heart to the piano and paper.
