5.0 out of 5 stars Best live band I've heard, September 17, 2003

By	Thaddeus Selden "Sailor geek" (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is perfect for people who have heard Carbon Leaf but have never had the good fortune to see them in concert. Carbon Leaf's passion is to perform and this album let's that shine through. Between the amazing musicality exhibited in the solos, the energy of the performances, and the creativity in adapting covers of other songs to their style, this album is a winning combination. The other great thing about this album is getting to hear some of their new songs that aren't studio recorded yet.

If you've never heard Carbon Leaf before, this might be a good one to start with. It'll get you hooked and you'll start watching their website for the next time they're in your neck of the woods.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Bands around.., July 30, 2004

By	J. Ashley Evans "Ash" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard this band when the opened for Jump Little Children...Phenomenal! This CD helps capture their sound when you hear them live. (Which I think everyone should do...) The melodies, guitar riffs, Celtic influence, strong bass talent, and mesmerizing drums make this CD an "experience" to listen too.

Amazon should offer a money back guarantee for this album because nobody will dislike it.

This album is best served with a few pints of Guinness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Band, Great CD, July 2, 2004

By A Customer

I fortunately was given this CD by a band member of Carbon Leaf, and it literally didn't leave my CD player for weeks! I saw the guys play and they completely blew me away. The energy and quality of their live show is just awesome. This CD really captures the Carbon Leaf live experience. This CD is a really good introduction of Carbon Leaf. Some of my personal favorite of this disc are Home, Blue Ridge Laughing, Torn to Tattered, Wanderin' Around, American Tale, Desperation Song, and Toy Soldiers. However, all the songs are fantastic. This is just an all around great CD from an all around great band. Everyone do yourself a favor: start listening to Carbon Leaf.
