Editorial Reviews

Grammy-nominated artist Matisyahu, whose transcendent live shows are widely celebrated for moving masses around the globe, has once again captured the magic that he creates on stage with his new live DVD. Live at Stubb's Vol. II, set for release on February 1, 2011, is the second installment in his signature Live at Stubb's series.
When Matisyahu's groundbreaking original live album, Live at Stubb's, was released in 2005, it launched him onto Top 40 radio with his now most-recognizable anthem 'King Without A Crown.' He had made an indelible mark on the musical consciousness of the U.S., but this proved to be only the beginning.
Now with three critically acclaimed studio albums to his name, Matisyahu decided to return to where it all began. On a hot August night in Austin, TX, this past summer, Matisyahu took the stage at the famed music venue Stubb's with his band, Brooklyn's The Dub Trio, for an unforgettable live music experience. Showcasing his incredible artistic evolution, Matisyahu unveiled brand new song 'Open The Gates' and performed songs that span his lauded catalogue, including selections from 2004's Shake Off The Dust...Arise, 2005's Live at Stubb's, 2006's Youth and 2009's Light, which debuted inside the Billboard Top 20. Inviting the intimate crowd to join him in documenting the extraordinary energy in the room that evening, he and his audience created the musical time capsule that is now Live at Stubb's Vol. II. These songs are infused with a vibrancy that can only be created during a Matisyahu performance, beautifully displaying the one-of-a kind voice and distinctive sound that has brought him to the forefront of today's music landscape. With a re-discovered love for roots reggae and improvisation at the core of his live show, Matisyahu brilliantly re-vamped the vocal and instrumental arrangements, elevating each song to new heights. From 'Kodesh' to tracks such as 'Mist Rising,' 'Youth,' 'Darkness Into Light' and 'One Day,' Live at Stubb's Vol. II is a raw and inspiring musical journey that is sure to become a treasured part of Matisyahu s acclaimed catalogue. With prolific lyrics, anthemic choruses and his signature fusion of reggae, pop-rock, hip-hop, ska-inflected new wave and acoustic folk, Matisyahu has broken boundaries through his music and has unified millions of fans with his music and message of peace, hope and understanding. Since recording Live at Stubb's on February 19, 2005, Matisyahu has gone on to become one of the most beloved and pioneering artists in music today with Stubb's holding a special meaning for him and his fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another amazing album February 1, 2011

Everything you'd expect if you're a fan of Matisyahu with a few different things thrown in. This and the first Live at Stubb's are probably two of my favorite albums of all time. Buy this, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars More of the same? Not really February 3, 2011

Live @ Stubbs "I" is undoubtedly the best album Matis debuted. Primarily because the lyrics of his original songs were more spiritual and from his roots. Ever since the "Light" album, he started to slightly drift from that, which I think was a big mistake. This newest installment, Stubbs II, is still fantastic because the original album of these songs beautifully capture his voice and talent, but what it can't do is convey his stage presence. This is where Stubbs II steps in. If you ever have the opportunity to see him perform live, DO IT! It was worth the cost of admission. It wasn't just a show, it was one of the most intense experiences I have ever had at a concert. Anyone can relate to these songs. His band is also top-notch (I'm looking at you Dub Trio :)
The bass line's are thick, and the rapping is intellectual, for once. I am so tired of this trashy talk obsessed with STD-ridden hoochies and rented Mercedes'. It is so fake, and if it is not fake, it is worthless.
My fav. song: I Will Be Light
But I wish his next album has more songs similar to "Aish Tamid" "Chop em Down" etc. GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS MATIS!

Nice combo of DVD and CD, But DVD video is Dolby Surround--NOT DVD A.
Sound is O.k. but I was looking for high end audio.
