This is a great sampling of 3 Doors Down. If you are a fan of the band then you will be impressed with this CD mainly because they take on some of the great songs from their first 2 releases "The Better Life" and "Away from the Sun." 3 Doors Down is an excellent live band, so it was great to see them finally produce a live disc.
The songs that are on the CD are some of their hits, like "Kryptonite", "Duck and Run", "Here without You", and "When I'm Gone.". "Kryptonite" really comes alive, and the band really rocks out on the chorus. (The only negative of the song is that the band does one of those hokey "let's get the crowd involved" moments towards the end of the song, having the fans chant off key lyrics for part of the song. Still it doesn't mess up a good song). The other songs sound pretty good as well, "Here Without You" being a great slow ballad and "When I'm Gone" being dedicated to the U.S troops with an intro before the song.
My favorite on this CD was the "new" song "It's Not Me", which is track 6. The song has a real hard rockish edge to it, kind of which makes it very effective live and loud. This song seems to personify Three Doors Down and their style of music as well; the "live" effect of this song is good to hear, and the song exemplifies why live rock is often better than studio rock (as one reviewer noted).
If you are a fan of Lynard Skynard, the last song is a pretty good rendition of "That Smell."
For the price, this is an excellent buy. My only issue is that I wish there were more original "non radio released" songs on the CD.Also, I wish there were more songs. Still, a great CD that I would recommend to the average rock fan, or anyone else.
I am a huge 3 Doors Down fan and have been to 2 of their concerts so I was really looking forward to this CD so I went out and bought it the day it came out. I was blown away by the live version of Here Without You the first time I heard it. Here Without You is such a great song because I think just about everyone can relate to it (I know I can). I have to say that for under $10 it is quite a good CD (meaning every song on it is good) and I definitely recommend that if you like 3 Doors Down, rock music, or #1 hits (there are 1, 2, 3, 4, ah.. 4 #1 songs) that you buy it immediately either from right here or a store.
Went out and bought this CD the day after the Jan 17 Roanoke,Va concert. It was well worth the money. If you have never seen 3Doors Down in concert; GO!! You will not be disappointed. They really play there asses off and put on a great show!! What till you see them perform THAT SMELL!LIVE
I wasnt really a big 3 doors down fan, but after listening to the songs, I was just uplifted. The songs ae not only great, but they have meaning beneath, so you can listen to the song -just listening and you'll love it, or you can listen to the words, and still love these songs. I also not very nationalistic, but "When I'm Gone" just made me have pride and faith in our troops
I am not use to Rock Bands sounding so great live. This is the best Live album I have ever heard. It is only six songs, but what amazing six songs.
Duck and Run - Pump you up song; great.
The When I'm Gone(Intro) is very nice with the lead singer talking about supporting our troops.
I have just gotten into this group's music and I cannot believe how much I enjoy their albums. A must have CD to add to your CD collection.
