Editorial Reviews

Recorded during their 2005 tour, the two-disc set includes a spread of tunes that spans their entire career, from their 1997 debut, Word Gets Around, to the brand new tune Jayne, which has yet to appear on any studio album the band has released thus far. Nettwerk. 2006.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular, April 28, 2006

If you love the Stereophonics and if you love live music, then this is the album you've been waiting for. I bought it the day it came out and I haven't listened to anything else since. The whole thing, both discs, are great. They may have done a better job mixing the album, but it's a great live performance. I love Language, Sex, Violence, Other?, and this live album showcases the other. Great renditions of Dakota, Superman, and Devil are included here. But the best of the band comes out on their earlier stuff. A Thousand Trees blows the roof out of the stadium and the crowd just goes wild. I also really enjoyed their b-side Carrot Cake and Wine and their new song Jayne. But if I had to pick a highlight, it would be the stellar acoustic version of Maybe Tomorrow. All in all, Magnificent!

The Stereophonics have been around since 1997 and have had tremendous success in their native country of Wales and the rest of the UK and other countries. They have been to the U.S. on several limited tours but they have not been get their big break but this new live double CD may get them the attention they deserve in America. It is a great live album with a good mixture of old and new songs. They give each song all they have and if you are new to the music of Stereophonics you would have trouble tell the difference between the new ones and their earlier hits.
They have a great talent in Kelly Jones who writes most of their material and is the lead singer. Their earlier music may have been labeled Brit-Pop but most of the tracks from last year's "Language. Sex. Violence. Other?" shows they are going for a harder sound and proves they can rock with the best. If you want to hear a fantastic live album then buy "Live From Dakota" by Stereophonics and are sure to become a Phonics fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Live Album, October 2, 2006

This review is from: Live From Dakota (Audio CD)

Live at Dakota is a 2CD live album by Stereophonics culled from their Language.Sex.Violence.Other? tour. Just like everything else by this Welsh rock band, it's solid, sometimes spectacular, and enjoyable, but nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary. All of the cuts on here sound really good in a live setting, although I prefer the studio version of Maybe Tomorrow much more than this live reworking. Jayne is a newer unreleased song that is pretty good, and Carrot Cake and Wine is an older b-side that sounds like a rewrite of a song from their first album they play earlier on this set with just new lyrics (I'll let you figure out which song I'm alluding to). Still, overall, an enjoyable live set, and for 2 CDs and 20 songs, you can't beat the price!
