5.0 out of 5 stars Best Live Album of All Time, June 12, 2002

TOTO's previous live album ("Absolutely Live") was, like 90s live albums by peers such as Foreigner and Journey, primarily made up of the same songs that you'd find on their compilations.

This album, by contrast, focuses almost exclusively on album cuts and solos from the various band members, making it an absolute must-have for any serious TOTO fan. Additionally, as half of the songs originate from 90s albums this is also the ideal album to buy if you've fallen out of touch with TOTO following their grammy-grab of 1983. It will introduce you to their more recent style(s) as well as contain familiar tunes like "Rosanna" and "Hold The Line" (on the bonus CD) and classic early album tracks like "Girl Goodbye" and "White Sister".

There are many highlights on this CD other than those mentioned..."Caught In The Balance" is a majestic opener, "A Million Miles Away" surpasses the original in quality by...a million miles, the accoustic medley is a delight and "Better World" is one of the most impressive TOTO numbers ever.The response from the French crowd says it all - nobody plays better than TOTO, and their songs are varied in all things barring extreme quality.

The videos contained on the bonus CD are also a great addition to this superb release. The only quibble (and it's with Sony, not the band) is that we couldn't have the whole show on an official 2CD album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great live album - much better than ABSOLUTELY LIVE, June 17, 2000

By 

"Toaster" (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Livefields (Audio CD)

I am not generally a fan of live albums - even though TOTO is an awesome band, their ABSOLUTELY LIVE album wasn't all that great. With this in mind, I was a little hesitant in buying LIVEFIELDS. However, one listen made me glad I did! As always, Luke, Paich, Simon, and Mike exhibit fabulous instrumental talent. However, the area in which this album totally kills ABSOLUTELY LIVE is the vocals. Bobby is great (although he does scream a little too much for my tastes), and the backing vocals (Hyatt and Spinner) sound far superior to those on ABSOLUTELY LIVE. And... I can't neglect to mention Luke's lead vocals - which are also great. Dave doesn't have any lead vocals on this album, but his keyboard solo is a highlight of LIVEFIELDS. If you've seen TOTO live, this album will bring back great memories. If you haven't been able to see a concert, then you REALLY need to have this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars Livefields is Incredible!, May 20, 2000

By 

Chris The Professor (Las Vegas, Nevada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Livefields (Audio CD)

This CD has it all. Incredible musicianship, great writing, and an awesome live feel. Musicians of this quality seem to be disappearing, and it is good to know that there are still some live players that out there that are this good. A must have.
