5.0 out of 5 stars Something Every Fan Can Appreciate, July 13, 2006

This review is from: One Cold Night (Bonus Dvd) (Audio CD)

Anyone who follows Seether knows that they have always been prone to performing acoustic versions of their hits. Afterall, anyone who looks around hard enough could easily make a CD full of acoustics they have performed for various radio stations over the years. But finally, we get a one-stop place for the cream of the crop. "One Cold Night," Seether's first live CD/DVD set, focuses on a concert captured in Philadelphia on February 22nd, 2006 -- completely unplugged. It's nothing too fancy, but I'll be damned if it isn't just a great piece of music.

Obviously the concert appears both in audio form on the CD, and in visual form on the DVD. Although it's nice to just sit back and chill with the audio, the actual concert itself is just so much better. There's something about watching this that has made me a bigger Seether fan (and I've already seen them live). Must've been something in the air that night, perhaps, because the band is just spot-on. All the familiar bases are covered -- from an ex-girlfriend-less version of "Broken" to "Fine Again," "Driven Under," "The Gift" and even heavier songs like "Gasoline" and "The Remedy." Hell, they even bang out a Pearl Jam cover in "Immortality" and pull it off wonderfully. After the twelve song set, on the CD, there is a bonus track, which is the radio edit of "The Gift," their latest single. Personally, I could have gone without it. It simplifies the song a bit too much, especially where the music in the proper version is just as emotional as any of the vocal parts. But, that's just a small gripe, and doesn't take away from the sheer perfection of this performance.

On the DVD we are given the music video for "The Gift" with some behind the scenes footage, but nothing can beat the massive one-hour interview (longer than the actual concert) conducted by the local radio station. During this interview, little-known nuggets about the band are leaked, such as frontman Shaun Morgan's involvement in an ill-fated Korn-cover band and ex-guitarist Pat Callahan's unfortunate incident with a beehive. During this interview, you really learn a lot and it really sheds some light on a band that casual listeners could easily write off as one-dimensional. If anything, this set proves that Seether have the talent and the personality to withstand the trends. Watching and listening, I get the feeling this is one band that is going to be around for quite a while.

I have to ask one question, though: where's the Nirvana covers, guys? Seether are notorious for them, and the lack of seems a bit odd.

I had their first CD, and while it was good, the songs werent anything spectacular. So it was hit or miss for me. Soetimes id play a track or 2, so when K&E came out i never bothered with it.
I was browsing in the store and saw this. The ambiance on the cover kind of sucked me in. I tend to like this acoustic style stuff. Looked at the tracklisting and figured these songs could sound good in this setting. So i picked it up.
And as i figured, they pretty much play it safe and go note-for-note with the studio stuff. Not a bad thing, but nothing risky is attempted here except possibly the Pearl Jam cover of "Immortality" which is really well done. The sound quality is crisp, and the delivery is sincere..
So i will say that this CD got me re-interested in these guys a bit. I always liked Morgans laid back singing style. Lyrically, some are quite good. Some a bit hollow, but arent terrible by any means. Just a bit basic. If you liked Seether before, youll LOVE them after this. If you were a bit reluctant, this is a great place to start.

Not to mention you get the show on DVD as well.
