5.0 out of 5 stars
Another great show from an underrated artist, May 30, 2004
This review is from: Jeffrey Gaines Live (Audio CD)
Not many performers come around that have the talent and the voice that Mr Gaines has. Although he has not become a household name, this release should help him become one. Having seen him perform with just a guitar and a mike and blowing away the audience with his performance, you should run not walk and purchase this release. It will not let you down. Do yourself a favor and support a truly talented artist that deserves a listen.

JG live, nothing better, May 25, 2004
This review is from: Jeffrey Gaines Live (Audio CD)
This is a first of it kind a hy-bird cd with both audio/video on the same disc each having it's own side, I've been a JG fan since early '93,I've seen JG live 29x, and yes I do have bootlegs 'vhs' tapes and audio, but nothing beats the crispness of DVD, seeing him live with the raw emotion and feeling he portrays in his music,it's a diamond in the rough, to find such honest, real depth in his lyrics, you can feel the pleasure and pain, of what it was to go through, to capture the ups and downs and seeing thru it all, your just glad that it wasn't you, but I'm sure you been there or know someone who has, now to the review of the disc, I was lucky to see him @ TLA in Philly that night recording the material for this disc, he played just under 4hr to gather the songs and video for a cost of only $10.00, that night the music was out of this world the aura of the lighting, the sound and the audience,the moons were all in align, from the opening of 'Falling Apart' [off his latest cd-Toward the Sun]to the close of 'Always Be'[off the the same titled cd] and playing most of his catalog that night,to his never ending surprise covers, but only one cover made the disc[trk 13]a Sam Cooke cover called 'A Change Is Gonna Come' all on the audio portion of the live cd, the DVD side[note: songs that appear on the audio don't all appear on the DVD, and visa-versa] takes you back to that night on November 6th '03, the roaring and response of the crowd to the smoke,lighted candelabra to the pin spots shining down, that special night was captured,now it's available to all, not just fans of JG, but to all you really want to see a talented singer/songwriter named Jeffrey Gaines...on a personal note one favorite of the DVD disc is 'Over and Over'[from the latest cd] the way he grabs you, and takes you in on this selection, has to be the highlight of this disc, see it to believe it, trust me on this.......after seeing this disc you really should experience JG live @ local venue in person, and I'm sure you will count the days when he's playing in your area[by the way # 30 for me will be @ Harry's Roadhouse 06/11/04 in Asbury Park, New Jersey...thanx

Awesome!, June 19, 2004
This review is from: Jeffrey Gaines Live (Audio CD)
I was hooked ten years ago when I first heard Jeffrey Gaines, and have bought all of his cds ever since. This CD/DVD is his best because the live aspect adds even more raw, genuine depth to his music (I should subtract one star from the rating for the cheesy and lame "In Your Eyes" video at the end. But this release is still really worth 5 stars!)
And yes, you can sing along! It is truly awesome.
