5.0 out of 5 stars Dance Hall Crashers do it ONCE AGAIN!, June 7, 2000

By	"dmfj01" (NJ, USA.) - See all my reviews

Aaah, what can I say? This album is awesome! It is one hour and ten minutes of pure DHC goodness. 25 great songs that will keep you dancing constantly. I also must admit that all 25 live songs are catchier than when they are found on their CDs..

The Dance Hall Crashers have worked there butts off on this record and it all came out superb. It's a definitely awesome simulation of a real DHC concert... Elyse and Karina give a great performance and are hilarious when they give there own little quirks "on stage..".. Also, the re-make of "American Girl" is awesome.

Ahh this album is the best in my collection. It's fun music with upbeat EVERYTHING! The crowd is awesome and their chanting of "DHC" on the album is just inspiring :) If you haven't been to a DHC show, or even if you HAVE - purchase this album.. the whole CD is *AMAZING*..

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Live than recorded, best DHC CD, October 18, 2002

By	G. DeMuth "Super G" (NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're only going to own one DHC CD, it should be this one. It is a bit of a greatest hit compilation (though I miss Pick Up Lines and Setting Sun and some others) and many of the songs are better than on the studio recordings. I'll probably never get to see them live, but obviously they are meant to be heard that way.

If you can sit still through this CD, then something is wrong, because its mostly fast with many great lyrics.

Word of caution: DHC and the Ska sound is not everyone's cup of tea. But that is their loss.

Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars DHC Live: What a Live Record Should Be., November 22, 2000

By	daniel p. mattes (Phoenix(aka Hades,aka crispy)) - See all my reviews

If you're a Dance Hall Crashers fan this will be a slice of heaven. If you're new to them... well,it'll still be a slice of heaven but an informative one,because this record samples all of the DHC albums,giving the listener a good taste of past and present.Since many of the songs are edgier and faster than the studio tracks at times (most of the time actually) I enjoyed them even more than the studio recordings.The occasional short exchanges between the extraordinary vocalists Karina and Elyse are quiet funny and to the point.I'd point out standout tracks but all 25 from the fast 'We Owe' to slow and moving 'Cricket' are great.This is the best live record I've heard and it should be in any ska/punk-pop fans collection.
