This album is perfect for people who have heard Carbon Leaf but have never had the good fortune to see them in concert. Carbon Leaf's passion is to perform and this album let's that shine through. Between the amazing musicality exhibited in the solos, the energy of the performances, and the creativity in adapting covers of other songs to their style, this album is a winning combination. The other great thing about this album is getting to hear some of their new songs that aren't studio recorded yet.

If you've never heard Carbon Leaf before, this might be a good one to start with. It'll get you hooked and you'll start watching their website for the next time they're in your neck of the woods.

I first heard this band when the opened for Jump Little Children...Phenomenal! This CD helps capture their sound when you hear them live. (Which I think everyone should do...) The melodies, guitar riffs, Celtic influence, strong bass talent, and mesmerizing drums make this CD an "experience" to listen too.

Amazon should offer a money back guarantee for this album because nobody will dislike it.

This album is best served with a few pints of Guinness.

I fortunately was given this CD by a band member of Carbon Leaf, and it literally didn't leave my CD player for weeks! I saw the guys play and they completely blew me away. The energy and quality of their live show is just awesome. This CD really captures the Carbon Leaf live experience. This CD is a really good introduction of Carbon Leaf. Some of my personal favorite of this disc are Home, Blue Ridge Laughing, Torn to Tattered, Wanderin' Around, American Tale, Desperation Song, and Toy Soldiers. However, all the songs are fantastic. This is just an all around great CD from an all around great band. Everyone do yourself a favor: start listening to Carbon Leaf.

These guys sound like they grew up on 80's Athens rock, bluegrass & celtic traditions, and spent some formative time grooving to Phish.

But they are completely their own. With incredible guitar riffs to great vocals, they create their own sound. They understand the power of traditional roots to move their audiences, and are fabulous live.

Wow, I first heard Carbon Leaf on a local radio station, "the coast" and I was instantly blown away. I heard them described as another "Virginia Rock" band such as Dave Matthews Band, Bruce Hornsby, Fighting Gravity and Agents of Good Roots. With some respects they are but in other they are not. The music is very fresh and instantly grabbing. The album was able to capture thier stage presence imaculatly as well as show thier true musical talent. One of those albums that stays in the CD player for months. Can't say enough about it.

I am not usually a fan of live cd's but this one is great. I like every song on there. I really like carbon leaf as well. I started listening to them my freshman year in college and they have remained one of my top two or three bands. I would recommend this cd to anyone. It grows on you more and more every time you listen to it.

If you've never heard of Carbon Leaf before, this CD is a great introduction. Whe nI first heard Carbon Leaf it was in a live setting, and I was hooked after the first song... this CD will do the same thing.

This Cd has a bunch of great carbon leaf songs. I'd highly recommend to any carbon leaf fan or people that just like good music.
