SP rocks on this CD because they are excellent live performers! This CD is my favorite because they don't hold back and just unleash with the vocals and music and really show how amazingly talented they all really are. I saw them in concert after hearing this CD and WOW!!! They give 100% out there for their fans, and it's awesome to have a CD to capture a little bit of that. The music blew us away and I can't say enough about this band. I have all their albums now after seeing them live. Hard Rock Live is still my favorite one. Check it out!

I was at this concert & it was awesome! We are so excited that SP & MTV have released the show on CD & DVD (special edition fan pack). The guys looked & sounded great that night in Orlando. This is an awesome buy for the biggest & smallest Simple Plan fans.

This CD is great, even for people who don't like the sound of a live show. Most of the songs sound the same as they do on the albums, and some sound better. Pierre really is a "hyperactive cheerleader," but that's not such a bad thing when you're playing for a few thousand people. There are sing-alongs (Perfect), and screaming contests (I'm Just a Kid). Many funny moments, like David yelling at all the guys in the crowd to "grab their balls and make some noise," Pierre saying that he wants to make out with the crowd, and David calling their first record "No Pads, No Helmets, Just Bizzles." The CD is also enhanced with two live videos, Shut Up and Jump.

Now SP is my favorite band. This cd actually shows the above excellent music... but it also lets you listen like you were ACTUALLY at the concert. It has funny parts and it cracks me up everytime.... it has new songs and old songs.... in MY OPINION this is one of the best cds EVER!!! next to the real cds... so if you want a cd that you would like to listen to over and over again.... buy this cd.....

First of all let me say if you are going to write a review but do not like the artist do not put your personal views into it. The idea is to sell someone on the album NOT what you think of the artist.
This being said. this album is great. I actually like SP's older material, however I have seen them live and they are amazing. Live is always better than an album, however live albums are the best kind to get. The song choice they made for this concert is great and sound quality is very good. You can either do very well or fail horribly when making a live album. Recording concerts is difficult enough but then to reproduce them into a CD with excellent sound is even harder. I have heard a few that failed miserably and I can safely say these guys did a great job with this album. If you like Simple Plan (even the older stuff like I do) you will love this album, Also, you will probably find new songs you like if you haven't heard their later albums. For the price this is a great deal pick it up today!

First of all, let me say that this is not the best live performance by this band that I have seen. That does NOT mean it wasn't great because it was. Its just that it in no way compares to other shows they've put on...shows that I've been to. If you're judging the band by this performance, see them live and compare it to this and you'll see how amazing Simple Plan is live. I've been a fan of Simple Plan for almost a year now and I was counting down the days until this CD came out. I got the fan pack and the DVD is great. The songs that stood out the most on this CD would have to be God Must Hate Me, Addicted and I'm Just a Kid. God Must Hate Me is just a great song and I love the drumming that goes on before they get into the actual song. Addicted is probably my favorite song by them. Great sound and I must say, the fact that David has a solo makes it even better. His voice is amazing. If you don't believe me, listen again. He has great talent. That's part of the reason I love I'm Just a Kid...because he sings the first chorus. And he sang it perfectly. That's just a great song. One last song that stood out was I'd Do Anything. It's so fast and it's really energetic and I think they perform it well.
All in all, I definately love this CD. They are my favorite band, no one compares to them. The only reason I rate it 4 stars is because it seemed like Pierre's voice wasn't that strong and it does not show their highest level of performance. Again, if you like theis band just a little bit, I recommend seeing them live...you will not believe how good their live shows are. Andddd they are horribly nice to their fans.
Again...this is a GREAT cd.

BMG sent me this by mistake and I have never heard of the band so I thought I'd give it a listen. I couldn't even finish a single track, let alone the entire album. All I heard was the same generic rock (can this be classified as rock?) that has been polluting the music industry in recent years. Where are all the new innovative bands? If this is all kids have to listen to these days I feel sorry for the youth of America.

thank christ I don't own this, the worst band in the world gets worse! This c.d is unlistinable, and a waste of money. Simple plan friggin sucks, Johnny Rotten would kick all there a$$es. Axl Rose would kick all there a$$es. this is, by a wide margin, the worst album I have ever heard.
