5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Live Album, November 30, 2004

Rusted Root's new album "Live" is one of the best live albums released in the past few years. While it doesn't play a show in its entirety, but rather selects various tracks from a number of shows, each entry on the CD reflects the high energy Rusted Root is known for in their live shows. Personally, the first time I heard this double-disk set I felt transported to the last show I saw, at the famed 1st Avenue music venue in Mpls., MN. This album covers all of my favorite staples from the early albums, including "Send me on my way", "Ecstasy", and "Back to the Earth", but it also includes a fantastic drum "solo". Favorite songs of mine on the 2-disks include "Jack Kerouac" and "Welcome to my party", which is much stronger emotionally than the album version. This album is a definite must for any RR fan, and fans of live album's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rusted Never Sleeps, January 5, 2005

What a great band, what a great 2 hours of music. I thought Welcome to my Party was the best this band has done with the title cut and Blue Diamonds and such being classic beautiful songs, now this comes along and is a must-have for us fans.
Their music has a communal, jam band feel to it, and the song writing is top notch. I'm not a big fan of drum solos but the middle-eastern, far-eastern, east Brooklyn whatever feel to these solos on this CD do not bore you.
I was surprised by the guitar work. The little ode to Jimi Hendrix on Cat Turned Blue and the fuzz tone of Powderfinger shows this guy is just plain great. The occasional female lead is a perfect compliment to his unique, controlled manic voice.

This is a stellar live performance by a great band that gets better with each listen.

For those of you unfortunate folk out there who have not yet experienced Rusted Root's live concert, this cd is especially for you. The cd effectively captures their amazing live show. The cd is very solid with old and new "hits". Fans have been asking for a cd of this kind from them for years now and at last they put one out. This band is tireless in their efforts onstage, and you can tell on this cd. All of the members are amazing musicians. This cd is a must have for any fan or for anyone who loves live music.
