This cd is great, but it is a two disc set, not a single disc as amazon says... so buy it elsewhere so you can get both amazing discs!

Lotus does an amazing job in this live album. All the tunes are upbeat and continuously changing. I highly recommend this album if you are into progressive, instrumental music.

When I got this cd a few months ago I could not stop listening to it, and now I still cannot get enough. Lotus live is a totally different experience than their studio stuff, they are more of a jam band than the trance-jam band they are in the studio-- give this cd a listen to if you you like jam bands

i've been a fan of jam bands in their various sub-genres (jamtronica, southern rock, funk, the dead, etc.) for almost ten years. i'm a deadhead first and foremost, but i love all kinds of jam bands. only recently however had i discovered this kind of jam band. it's hard to describe lotus simply because there's really not a similar sound out there. particle comes kind of close, but it's not a real comparison.

this is really great music, simply put. this is a live show, and the jamming is deep and cohesive; some acts get a little too "out there" with the jams and have a hard time getting back into the groove, but lotus has seemingly perfected the formula. the best way i could describe the general sound and jam style would be a sort of meeting of phish and particle, maybe disco biscuits. but these guys really have it down. in fact, i would say the guitarist has at least as much talent as trey from phish. case in point: the wooly mammoth jam. these guys absolutely get down.

5 stars and 2 thumbs up for one kickass album.

Yet another amazing album from Lotus, these mixes are very chill and laid back. I own all the Lotus albums, and this is definitely a top pick. You can never go wrong with these guys. Even your grandma can groove to this!
