This collection is awesome! Of all the greatest hits and live CDs I have, this one is hands down my favorite. You can feel so much energy in the performance, and really gives you an idea of what it must be like to attend his concerts.

Chris isn't the absolute best vocalist in the world, but his style is unique and he's an absolute blast to listen to. He's got kind of a crackly, stressed sound to his voice, especially when he's shouting to get the crowd fired up, which I find to be very entertaining. There's something about his performances that seems so authentic compared to most of the newer performers on the radio these days.

All the songs are great (I would give them all 5/5), but here are the ones I think really shine on this CD:

For Your Love - instrumentals are great on this song... so energetic
This Cowboy's Hat - so powerful compared to his original recording
Gravitational Pull
Riding for a Fall
Hooked on an 8 Second Ride
Little Long-Haired Outlaw - very high-octane finale to the concert

This is a fantastic CD by a great REAL country (although really, a WESTERN) singer. I'm not a fan of most "live" CDs, but this one captures the magic of most of Chris' greatest songs. These live versions of "This Cowboy's Hat" and "8 Seconds in the Saddle" and, especially, "Riding For A Fall," among others, are incredible. Chris left us way too soon--it's already been a year and a half--and thank goodness we have this CD to remind us of how great he was in concert. I have only one quibble: "Gravitational Pull" was a really lame song totally out of character for Chris and should have been replaced by the fantastic "Even Cowboys Like A Little Rock 'n' Roll." Chris LeDoux was the best. And to the reviewer who asked where the real country music has gone (June 2003): you have ABSOLUTELY no idea what you're talking about.

I dont even need to put the CD in, my truck knows it by heart!

This is a great live album. In fact it is in my top ten albums of all time. I love live recordings and this is up there in terms of energy and fun with Cheap Trick Live at Boudacon and Frampton Comes Alive. I know, very different generes, but just a blast to listen to. Folks, this alubum is a classic.

I love Texas country music. Ledoux is the best. I can't believe it took so many years for me to find him. But now that I have, he will always be on my playlist. You won't regret buying this album.

An absolute necessity for anyone who has never seen Chris live or wants to bring back memories of probably the greatest country concert you can attent! You get a feel for the excitement that Chris LeDoux brings to the stage. If you like Chris LeDoux buy this CD!

Great Live set. Chris the rock singer shines on "Cadillac Ranch", "Hooked On An 8 Second Ride", "For Your Love", "Little Long-Haired Outlaw", he is also very comfortably traditional with tunes like "Whatcha Gonna Do With A Cowboy" (without Garth this time), and "Copenhagen Angel". He can be soft on "Riding For A Fall" and "You Can't See Him From The Road". Chris LeDoux and his Western Underground band are in good shape and they prove it here. You just wish you had been there to see the show.

I really enjoy this album. I listen to it almost everyday. Personally I think that it is one of the best live albums ever. A must for all Chris LeDoux fans!

Chris LeDoux's new cd will be an awsome cd for country music fans &Rodeo fans yeehaw.

Here in Europe we have a lot of country music, but not much as Chris producees, For me the Live CD encapsulate the spirit of the nothwest. Chris is my top favorite and i can't stop listening to his songs.
