O.A.R. really goes to a new level with this 4 CD live album!! The sound is amazing and the vocals aren't choppy nor is there static or interference in ANY of the songs!! This album definitely is worth the sticker price and is better than their Live album at Madison Square Garden...which was my previous favorite!! Crazy Game of Poker...War Song...Hey Girl...Here's to You... how can you not love this band.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive OAR Collection, February 11, 2010

This review is from: Rain Or Shine [+digital booklet] (MP3 Download)

I've been a huge OAR fan for many years now. I've seen them live 5 times and I own all of their cds, both studio and live. If you follow OAR you know a big part of the band's draw is their live performances. The band has 3 other live cds: any time now, 34th and 8th, and live from MSG. While all of these cds capture pieces of the live OAR experience, nothing could possibly compare to how good or how complete Rain or Shine is. First, the facts: 37 tracks over 4 hours. Whether you are a new OAR fan or you've been around for their entire career there is something to enjoy for everyone in this mix of songs. Second, the performance. One of the best things with OAR is these guys are masters at tweaking and improvising. Again, I've seen these guys live many times and I've listened to all of their live cds and not once will you hear the same version of the same song, how many other bands can say that? Rain or Shine was a particularly strong performance and I really enjoyed many of the new takes on classic OAR material. Third and finally, the quality of the live performance. OAR always puts on a good live performance as these guys have toured many times over but I think Rain or Shine raises the performance bar for what a live cd should sound like. From the beginning of "About Mr. Brown" to the second live version of "That was a crazy game of poker" the sound quality is outstanding. Simply put: Rain or Shine is the definitive live OAR experience. If you haven't seen these guys perform, quite frankly you've never seen what live music is all about.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate O.A.R. collection!, January 12, 2010

This review is from: Rain Or Shine (LIVE) (Audio CD)

In an all-encompassing 4 disc album of their originals, classics and current hits this album capsulizes what Of a Revolution is all about. From the new intro to Mr. Brown from the first night all the way through their most powerful anthem Crazy Game of Poker to close the second night, it is almost impossible to not appreciate how far the band as come if you're a longtime fan like myself. The energy the band brings on a nightly basis is what truly makes an impact to so many of their fans and the interactions and sing-alongs are evident throughout this 2 night recording. So much more can be said, but as a huge fan I can say this is the best possible collection of O.A.R. music and a terrific way to start out the new decade.
Here's to you guys-you absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one, and having braved the elements of night 2, it is testament to your resolve to rock out and as they say in the liner notes-"We sat down as a Band to list everyone we wanted to thank for this live album. What we realized is this one is for the Fans-the one's who have stuck with us through RAIN OR SHINE! Thank you."
No guys-thank you!
