I had the pleasure of receiving Live From Faraway Stables (2 Disc CD and 2 DVD (which i can't see))a few weeks ago (imported from Australia) and all i can say is WOW. I had a chance of catching them earlier this year at their LA shows and while I thought those were amazing shows, it was not until i heard this that i realized how awesome their Australian hometown leg of the "Across the Night" tour was. Split into two Acts (a lighter, more experimental Act I and a harder Act II), this show has an incredible set list with new twists and turns in their more popular songs, as well as the incorporation of a few of their other songs which haven't been performed live before such as petrol and chlorine (one of my favs). OK, here we go:

ACT I

1. Overture - Act 1 : A short intro to the concert with the orchestrations from across the night.

ACT II

12. Overture - Act 2 : Really interesting Piano intro to Emotion sickness enhances the whole feel of the song.

OVERALL, i have to give this 5 stars. I've been to many concerts in the past years, and none i've seen recently puts as much emotion and atmosphere into it as silverchair does on this live set. The fact that the whole show is recorded/edited so well makes it feel like you're there. It's all as clear as heck and I can't wait to watch the DVD.

I believe Silverchair are one of the most underrated bands (cept in AUstralia), and it's a shame they only had a handful of shows in the states this year. However, i suggest that anyone really into silverchair or even just getting into silverchair check this out so you can see how incredible live they are. Their musical talent and evolution over the years is truly inspiring and this set shows their desire to enhance the music experience and add to what their studio albums bring. Sheeeesh, can it get any better?

This is by far the best Silverchair dvd ever. For any true fan this is a must have. You will not be dissapointed. They not only play songs off of Diorama but also play songs from Frogstomp, Freakshow and Neon Ballroom as well as singles such as Asylum. Please order this item and support Silverchair. Show them that their music matters to us here in the states, so maybe next time i won't have to travel so far to see one of the few shows they performed here in north america.

This is a very nice little package, but unfortionately for those of you who have to import it, it looks as though it's a rather expensive buy.

The thing is that here in Australia, it's the same price as any other album and you still get the full package, so it really makes it an excellent investment.

Anyway...the show is fantastic, the band's stage presence is very vibrant and the performances are tighter than ever. There's some fun little twists on select songs such as "The Door," Emotion Sickness," "The Lever" and a few more I think? Daniel Johns is a natural stage performer and frontman, using his playful ways to enhance the vocal and guitar performances.

This is just a really cool thing to watch or listen to, but I definately prefer to watch it!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this CD! I am so glad I bought this. I hope they release one with material from Young Modern.

If you are a Silverchair fan, this is a must have.

I'm so happy Silverchair has finally decided to do a live album. From start to finish this package is pure genius. From the beautiful After All These Years to the funk rock of The Lever it's an incredible concert. The album is divided into sets and it really incapturates both sides of silverchair as Daniel puts it.

A few weakness I've noticed with this album, however is that Daniel's guitar tends to be really low at times espicailly on Emotion Sickness. I'm surprised the orchastration is very high becuase Daniel always said that he didn't like overdubs.

Highlights of the DVD and the entire tour for me were the funked up versions of The Door, Anthem For The Year 2000 and The Lever.

If you enjoy Silverchair and appreciate their musical diversity then this package is perfect.
