5.0 out of 5 stars
Live...., September 1, 2003
This CD is great because not only does it show how exciting it is at an OLP concert, you get a few songs from each CD, plus new ones. Before the track listing thing, the only thing I can complain about this (and it's not too important, either) is Raine Maida's speed with the vocals on this CD. They're a bit faster than normal, but it's all good.1. All For You- This wasn't the best on the album, far from it, but it was good. I like how Steve Mazur does little things with his guitar before the song starts, don't know why. 2. Superman's Dead- One of the best tracks on the album. Sounds close to the studio, but the intro was strummed a bit differently. This was one of OLP's songs that had whacky chords (as was typical in the days of Mike Turner)....Raine involves the crowd in the singing of the "Doesn't anybody ever know?" and it was kinda neat. 3. Not Enough- This was exceptional, kind of hard to understand in one of the parts, but it was okay. 4. Naveed/Life- This was great (I really love the song Naveed). the intro to Naveed was like two and a half minutes long, then the song started, and then it switched to Life, the long track off Spiritual Machines. Then it switched back, all in one like eleven and a half minute song. 5. Innocent- Great quality. The "We are, we are all innocent" part was carried on by the fans for awhile, and it was nice. Jeremy really has an important drum part in this song, even more so than usual. 6. Bring Back the Sun- A slow and meaingful song, it sounds great live. Pretty close to studio version, save the cheers and stuff. 7. One Man Army- It's hard to not like One Man Army, and it still has it's original effort put into it to make it sound wonderful. It was kind of short, though. 8. Is Anybody Home- A real amazing song....the fans are involved in this one, and when they get to the heavier part with the weird sounds for vocals, it sounds real neat. 9. Our Time is Fading- A new track from OLP, and it carries on with the Gravity sound. It may be the heaviest OLP song yet, can't wait until studio version. 10. Are You Sad- This opens with Raine telling the crowd about the theme of the song, and then they carry it out for a long time, I think like eight minutes. 11. Whatever- A great song, kinda like the Gravity sound, I love the instrumentation. It varies from Our Time is Fading, but is still that style. I think this song has a keyboard effect which helps it sound really great. 12. Clumsy- Nice live version of the title track of the album Clumsy (duh). The solo is choppy as it's supposed to be, and this track shows Steve Mazur can play like Mike Turner. 13. Starseed- A pretty long track, and it's wonderfully played. the distortion on the guitar made it a bit heavier than it was on Naveed, but it's all cool. 14. Somewhere Out There- Sounds great live, even without the studio effects. The fans get to do the cool yelling part ("I know you're out there, somewhere out there!").
