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.
Great CD. I haven't bought a CD in probably 10 years and I saw this concert on tv and had to buy it. Definately check out About an Hour Ago......the best version I've heard and the dude gets down on the piano. Definately a must own CD.
excellent live selection of O.A.R. songs, excellent live recording with good quality, enjoyable to listen to.
This concert was one of the best live shows I have collected. This is a great band, near the genre of Dave Matthews and other college bands but with a bit of a Caribbean vibe. Hope to see them in person one day.
Okay, listen, while i will admit, that no, this is NOT the very best album of OAR ever, it's not half bad. we all know their studio stuff lacks energy and sounds poor, at best. and i will also admit that Any Time Now, was probably the best, and Crazy Game of Poker on 34th and 8th is really awesome. but i believe those of you who review this horribly are some serious professional music critics, it doesnt lack energy or whatever. it's good, it's not an amazing album, but it's definitely on par with their style, and 52-50 is fantastic, i strongly suggest you listen to this over and over, as we have all with the previous albums... i find it to be more than an every once and a while album.
