4.0 out of 5 stars L - in a nutshell..., May 8, 2000

Well, I saw moe. for the fifth time on this weekend and went out and decided to see how the live album was. I'm not too big on albums as I like to listen to live tapings of moe. but I figured I should give this a spin. Its a great selection of songs and it sounds quite good, thanks to the talent of the band's soundman, Steve, and the producer of the album John Siket (who also produced the soon to be released Phish album Farmhouse). My only complaint about this double-live cd is the compression. Its normal for albums that are commercially to released to have the sound compressed, unfortunatly I feel this has 'altered' the way the band sounds live to an extent, which is why I only gave the cd 4/5 stars. In conclusion, I do beleive this is a good cd and do not feel gypped out of my money, but if you haven't seen moe. live for yourself yet, make sure you are there the next time.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY........live moe. for the world to hear, April 18, 2000

Like others, I have been waiting for this CD for some time. moe. is a band like Phish, the Dead, Widespread Panic, Stringcheese Incident etc. ONLY in that they are to be experienced LIVE to get what they are all about (they sound almost NOTHING like the above mentioned bands). This CD is a FANTASTIC representation of their sound and the energy they bring to the stage. You won't believe it until you hear it. The lengthy jams are NOT for the faint hearted, but if you like multi-layered, funky, spacy, funny and increadibly TIGHT jams by fearless musicians, you'll drive your neighbors crazy with this one. It is to be listened to LOUD, and unless you have a great deal of self control, not while driving fast cars! However, it's not a substitute for actually seeing them, but it's a good place to start. Pick it up....and enjoy! P.S. You can pick up the THIRD live disc (unavailable ANYWHERE else) from their web site for about $8+S&H. Also well worth it!

I saw Moe when they opened for Robert Plant in Santa Barbara a couple of weeks ago. I had no idea what to expect. They played only 5 songs (typical for a opener), but at the end of their last song, they morphed into an 8 minute jam that just blew the audience away. During this jam, they were "in the zone," as they say. It was really a sight to behold.

I promptly read some Amazon.com reviews of their CD's. I chose "L" because reviewers gave it high marks for being a great "jam" CD.

Well, folks, I am reborn. This is the best CD I have heard in years. These guys synch like no one else. I am dumbfounded that this band is not HUGE. But, as H.L. Mencken once said, "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."

If you have never heard Moe, you absolutely must. See them in concert if you can, but if that's not possible, just buy this CD. Trust me, Trust me, Trust me...You will not regret it.
