5.0 out of 5 stars Best live merle, September 10, 2004

I have been a merle fan for over 30 years, and with the possible exeption of the bob wills tribute, this is the best recorded live merle I have heard.This "old country singer" edition of the strangers compares favorably with any past editions of this great backup band. Merle's voice seems to sound better than it has for years. The dts 5.1 sound is top notch. This is a must buy for merle fans.

Finally! A great production of the Hag in Concert. The sound quality is riveting as this tight band backs the Hag with the perfection of a NY symphony. I notice a few new faces in this group of Strangers. The new drummer is incredible, I would have liked to see a stronger lead guitar but hey, long time band leader Norm Hamlet has put another great bunch together here. The entrance of the beautiful and talented Janie Fricke singing back-up on a couple numbers was pure bonus. I watch this and all my concerts on a 65" HDTV and this example has risen to the top of my pile. Better lighting would have produced better skin tones, but hey.....we must remnember we are at Live at Billy Bobs, not in a TV studio. The Hag will always be immortal especially with productions like this. Buy this one! You will truly enjoy.
