Nothing beats Eddie From Ohio live, and this CD is a great example! They chose a great mix of their best newer live tunes, plus some not-often-heard older stuff. If you have never heard EFO before, the only reason this album isn't a good "first listen" is because you'll never want to hear a studio-recorded version of any of these songs again! I was at the Somerville Theater show that part of this was recorded at, and it truly is just like being there. Vintage EFO in that the tunes just put you in a happy state of mind! Not only are Julie, Mike, Eddie, Robbie and Bob the NICEST people ever, they also make a damn fine team o'performers. And the cover art rocks. :)

Eddie From Ohio is absolutely my favorite band. I've seen them live 7 times to date and was present at the Wolf Trap show that was taped for this album. For anyone who has not experienced EFO yet, this is the CD for you. It features all of favorite songs from Quick and a few of the older staples you can't help but sing along to. My favorite track is "Operator." The only thing that would make me think more highly of this album would be if they'd put the live band banter on. This group is hilarious and interacts on stage so well together. Everyone I have played their music for loves it - check it out today.

I ordered this CD from the band's website even before it was released and have enjoyed singing along at the top of my lungs. This is a compilation of live performances, and you feel as though you are there. The running commentaries at the end of disc 2 are too funny (even if you are not YET an edhead, but you probably will be after listening to these recordings). I also think that the song "Old Dominion" would make a great state song for VA.

I've seen 'em perform live from VA to CA. This CD captures every musical nuance of a live EFO performance. By closing my eyes (very dangerous while driving) I felt like I was at the live Wolf Trap or Warner Theatre performances. The energy and interpretation you find at their live performances, the stuff that got us all hooked, is neatly wrapped up and delivered in this powerful 2 CD set. I've been a fan for 9+ years - and this CD leads the pack! Great job ya'll!
