4.0 out of 5 stars Low is a great live band and here's the proof, April 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: One More Reason To Forget (Live) [Limited] (Audio CD)

This CD is taken from a DAT recording of Low's 11/6/97 performance at the Church of St. Philip Neri in Louisville, KY, and contains material from Songs for a Dead Pilot and The Curtain Hits the Cast, as well as versions of "Venus" and "If You Were Born Today". The band is in fine form (I've seen them three times), and the quality of the recording is quite good, all things considered.

The recording appears to have been made by micing the room, but the audience is plenty quiet enough to make it work, and the added tension of hearing a few restless folks really adds to the experience.

The reason this isn't a five star CD is simple. There is nothing new on this disc! If you're already a Low fan, you already have most of these songs, and the live versions, though excellent, don't stray very far from the studio takes.

If you are new to Low, this is a great place to start. If you are already familiar with the band's catalog, this would be a fine (but not essential) addition to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars This cd presents what is greatest about LOW... the awesome, October 29, 2001

This cd presents what is greatest about LOW... the awesome unique sound they create. The recording is very good. This may be a binaural recording? The audience is nice and quiet. LOW played an excellent set. LOW's sound is so big and beautiful and awesome in this cathedral.

If you like LOW a lot and would like a great recording of them live this cd is a blessing. I am very glad this cd is available. I also suggest this cd as an introduction to LOW because i think an awesome LOW concert is a better intro than a studio album.

I've seen LOW 8+ times. I've never seen them in a cathedral. I've never heard them in as beautiful sounding space as this recording. I consider LOW live one of the wonders of our world.

If you don't know the band Low, this might be a great introduction to their unique style of slo-core music. The trio who hale from Duluth have a dark and beautiful sound that is probably best heard live. This album was recorded in a church in Louisville, Kentucky. The small venue makes for an interesting ambiance: during the first track, you can hear an ambulance go screaming by. The reverb is constant, and immerses you into this wonderful world of Low's creativity. This is not the best release from Low, but I find it to be one of my favorite live albums I own.
