This is the first Pat McGee Band cd I have bought and I must say, it is awesome. I first heard the band on a caompilation cd a friend of mine has. I then went out and bought General Admission. This band has refreshing lyrics and feel good tunes. Whether it's the smooth, relaxing sound of "Nobody Knows" or "Flooding Both of us" or maybe the upbeat jams of songs like "Who Stole Her From Heaven" and "Rebecca." I now understand why this band is experiencing so much success so fast. I just hope they don't get to big too fast, because they are definitely best in that small, intimate, live setting. But mark my word, They will be playing sold out venues like Continental Airlines arena and competing with the likes of Dave Matthews and the rest. Definitely five stars and a must own if you are a fan of acoustic rock with that jam session quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pat McGee is one of the best bands around......, June 8, 2000

I went to a Pat McGee concert in April, and I've been hooked ever since. I got home, and eagerly tore the shrink wrap off the CD, and popped it in the player. The sound that emerged from the speakers was of pretty good quality, and was almost as good as the concert itself. Pat McGee has a unique sound that is hard to describe, but if you like Dave Matthews, you'll like Pat McGee.

The Pat McGee band consists of six members. It features Pat McGee on vocals and electric and acoustic guitars, Chardy McEwan on percussion, John Small on bass, Jonathan Williams on piano and organ and vocal, and Chris Williams on drums.

The CD starts out with the song "The Story", which is a tune with an upidy beat. The tracks that follow are all equally good, from the soft, slow dancey "Flooding Both of Us", to the upidy beat of "Could Have Been a Song", to the long, mostly instrumental "Rebecca". The recording takes place live at the Birchmire and the Bayou. Pat McGee and the band have done a terrific job producing a wonderful live CD.

What a great album. I picked up Pat McGee Bands Revel by chance and was throughly impressed. I figured I would give the live General Admission a listen. Im Hooked. It is a rare band that can express themselves musically so well in a live setting. If you like Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows, Vertical Horizon, or just great music live or in the studio, pick this one up! Also be on the lookout for their new album Shine it should definitely be worth it!
