For anyone unfamiliar with Sarah McLachlan before the overt commercialism of "Surfacing", here is a brief collection of live songs pre-Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. It is more stripped down, and the songs are more real. Personal favorite: Black, done in a way very different from the version on Solace.

By now, everyone can name a couple of Sarah McLachlan songs. From the depressing "Angel" to the more upbeat "Building a Mystery", Sarah McLachlan has done well for herself in the past few years. However, there was a time, especially in the USA, when Sarah McLachlan wasn't well-known. Sarah's 1991 album "Solace" made Sarah a star in Canada, but failed to make waves in the USA. This EP, simply called "Live", was recorded in Toronto in 1992 at the end of her "Solace" tour. Everyone of the songs on here are from "Solace" with the exception of "Ben's Song", a ballad from her 1988 debut "Touch". This is Sarah McLachlan at her best, folks. There was no huge hype surrounding her and this album showcases the Sarah longtime fans miss. My favourite songs are "Lost", "Black" and "I Will Not Forget You."

I'm not a buyer of ep's but with such positive reviews I said I'd give this a try. I really like it love this version of Black she sounds like Amy Lee on it. Just wish it was a full album

For as old as this CD is, it's in amazing conditon. I was very happy w/this hard to find limited edition.

If you want to catch Sarah McLachlin rocking before she slowed it down and mellowed it out, buy this disc!!! Excellent stuff - and very well recorded!!!
