5.0 out of 5 stars Truly talented, August 17, 2005

I'd been a fan of Bracket since I heard their single, 2Rak005, and I'd grown to love them even more after I bought When All Else Fails and Novelty Forever. My next purchase was their Live in a Dive album, and it might be the best one I've heard. The passion of the band comes through very well on this album.

It should be noted that some of the songs are played much differently than their studio versions, and it lends the album more originality than one would expect from a live album. For example, Warren's Song Pt. 8 is given a lengthy instrumental introduction and 2Rak005 is played in a very down-tempo, almost reggae style. It is a very cool album. They keep the crowd involved with little bursts of wit sprinkled here and there, without taking the focus away from the music.

Their live effort is terrific and stands right beside their studio releases in terms of quality and bang for buck.

I definitely reccomend this album to fans of melodic punk or good music in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars They weren't even headlining..., October 15, 2006

I love live albums. I always find it disappointing when bands can't play live--and Bracket can definitely play live. This album is proof of that point. Every song is great, the ad-lib guitar solos are very good, and the crowd is quiet--that means more music and less screaming. I guess that it's kinda depressing when you keep on hearing references to the headlining band, which happened to be Tilt...which, I might add, isn't half the live band that Bracket is. It really is a shame that Bracket hasn't played live since 2000, because their live show is orgasmic.

Also, if you buy this CD, you get an interview with Bracket, a video of Circus Act, and a video of Trailer Park. Well worth the money.

All my buds are always b*tchin' about all these fake pop/punk bands. I heard these guys and i knew these guys are the definition of what pop/punk should be bulit like. Most people don't even say these guys are punks, i gotta a few words for ya, go do yourself these guys are more punk than you just cause they throw in a little twist rock n roll in a lot of their songs, but you must remember they are on FAT WRECK CHORDS, one of the most punk labels out there. So remember if any one says they know a good pop/punk band, say BRACKET is 10 times better.
