5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for all rock fans..., December 11, 1999

By	ron bennett (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

This CD is terrific. The live version of Memphis in the Meantime is much better than the original (So much more fire). All of the songs on the CD take me back to the concert. It is incredible how well the CD is engineered. I usually shy away from live CDs because they just don't sound very good. This has to be the best live recording I have ever heard. Oh, and if you are new to John Hiatt, this is a great first CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites of the last decade, June 29, 2004

By	moose_of_many_waters (Palo Alto, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I've been listening to this album for 10 years now and I never get tired of it. For me, this is John Hiatt at the peak of his songwriting skills, and those skills are first rate. Not all of the songs are deep, but they all have melodies and phrases that stick. The sound here has that emotional feel you only get from live performances. Sure there's a bad guitar note here and there, but I don't mind one bit. The mix is fabulous, raw and better than some of the mixes on the studio CDs. As a performing musician, I've learned a lot about playing live from this album. My favorite John Hiatt album and that's saying a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Of John Hiatt Live! Great band as well!, November 22, 2003

By	Infiltrator "J.A." (Radec) - See all my reviews

John is at his best in this CD recorded at concerts around the United States (not Tokyo). John strays a bit here from traditional down home country driven songs and adds loud electric guitar and extremely emotional vocals. The result...a perfect CD for the guitar lover and for someone who wants to know how to write songs. John is best known for writing songs with which other artists have major hits. His backup band here, "The Guilty Dogs," has a lot of volume and sounds very good! The best selection of John's songs on any CD he has out. You will not be dissapointed with this CD. I have only a handful of CDs which I feel are worthy of this 5 star rating.
