Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This double live disc is packed with percolating rhythms, thought provoking lyrics, and soaring vocals that truly capture the raw energy and power of O.A.R.'s live performance. While the songs were recorded in just a few days time (at NYC's Hammerstein Ballroom), the unified, uplifting spirit was there long before the record button was pressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Cd is Awesome, September 8, 2004

By	OAR Fan (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

I love OAR and when i heard they were coming out with a new live disk, i just had to buy it. There songs live are much better than any of there studio songs. I was a little dissapionted because the disk does not have the awesome cover of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" it is advertised with on this site at all on the CD...maybe it was replaced at the last miunute...who knows. Anyways, if you are new to OAR i suggest you listen to "any time now" before you purchase this CD, this CD, while good, is not as good as there previous live cd release. There are several good new songs on the disk combined with a good mix of old favorites "city on down" and "crazy game of poker." Overall i would tell everyone to buy this CD; the fact it comes with a dvd with 7 songs recorded from that concert on it makes the deal even sweeter!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, May 23, 2005

By	Alex - See all my reviews

This was the first O.A.R. cd I bought after listening to a few live songs by them in the car with a friend. It was the last cd on the shelf, and I was looking for one of their live ones anyway so i grabbed it. It was possibly one of the best decisions i ever made.

The first track immediately caught my attention as it kept building up more and more until finally Marc came in singing "darlinnn!" at the top of his lungs. I was hooked from that moment on. I listened to the entire album, both discs, all the way through, and I was completely blown away. These guys are amazing, and if you don't hear it, I feel sorry for you. Every single one of these musicians is incredibly talented, and they all get plenty of chances to show off. I love a good saxaphone though, so for me every time their sax player, Jerry Depizzo played one of his solo's, he completely stole the show.

I bought three more of their cd's within a week, and after listening to all of them, i'd have to say this is still my favorite, followed closely by Any Time Now. You need to check these guys out. You won't regret it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good to OK, June 14, 2006

By	Philip Schulz "AudiologyRocks" (San Diego, California USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I finally went and saw the band O.A.R. the other day at San Diego State University. I had been hearing about this band all year from my friends, but have only heard a handful of songs off the good old iPod. As a fan of jam bands I was impressed by O.A.R.s stage presence and posititive attitude. They were a little weak instrumentally, but overall I had a great time! Anyways this review is about the album 34th & 8th. After seeing the band live I let this album pop my O.A.R. CD collection cherry. After listening to it a bunch something sounds like it is missing. There are not many exciting songs and I swear the singer is going to ruin his vocal folds. I enjoy the album every now and then, but will not add it to my top albums to play. I think the playlist is lacking and I wish the lead guitarist (not the singer) would be less timid, both live and on the album. If you want an awesome Jam band, try Umphrey's McGee or the fathers of it all, The Grateful Dead.
