If you haven't seen the Mike Corrado Band perform live, you don't know what you're missing. This CD brings all of the spirit, energy, and enthusiasm of the band to your own stereo. MCB fans may be familiar with many of the songs from former albums such as "Something You Ain't," "Damn," "Single With Toys," etc., but the live versions breathe new life into every song. From the feel-good upbeat tunes to the somber ballads, every song captures the powerful live performance of the band as only a live CD can! Every part of the music is so much richer... particularly Mike Corrado as vocalist and Joseph Yankel on the saxaphone, both who deliver their performance with great passion and pizzaz. The band also delves into some less-traveled territory with some of the newer songs and shows MCB's astounding ability to flow from one genre of music to another with artful expertise. The audience's applause, cheering, and singing-along gives me chills every time. There's no substitute for a Mike Corrado Band concert, but this live CD is the next best thing!

It's good to see some good 'ole southern boys on the brink of stardom. This cd has the energy that the previous cd's lacked, but, then again how much energy can you squeeze from a studio? Glad to see that they keep getting better unlike some other regional bands, and they'll keep packing in the crowds with performances like these.

I was there when they recorded this CD and I've seen the Mike Corrado Band live numerous times. They are incredible performers. Everytime they perform in my town or even close by, I am there. The musicians are incredible and are very friendly. They don't forget about the loyal fans and always take out time to shake someone's hand. I can't say enough great things about this CD. It covers their style of music with their normal songs but also shows how they do it live. Very nice.

I went to both shows when they recorded this CD, and all the live energy is right there on the CD for everyone to hear. These guys will be up there with DMB and Edwin McCain really soon

I own all the Mike Corrado Band CD's...even the one Mike released on his own before he formed the band. I think he and the band make great music, but until this live CD I had to wait for the band to come to town to hear the way they jam from one song into the next. And, of course, it is good to have a few new songs. Listening to a live Cd is no substitute for seeing them live, but it just has to do when they aren't in town. Check it out!
