4.0 out of 5 stars It's about freakin' time!!!, October 8, 2006

By	Courtney Clark "Court Clark" (Denver, Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this CD totally by accident when out record shopping. I had to have it since I love the DVD and Sarah's more recent concert film, "Afterglow Live".

Though I've been wondering for AGES why they didn't just release the whole concert audio when the original Mirrorball CD came out some 10 (?) years ago.

Needless to say, this concert CD is awesome. It is taken from the last night of the tour in Portland, Oregon. Unlike the previous Mirrorball CD which took songs recorded throughout the tour, this is all one show. I believe it's the same show taped for the DVD.

It's great to finally get all the songs that were missing from the original CD, like "Vox" and "I Will Not Forget You", to name a couple.

I don't like how the tracks are not seamless, as each track begins from complete silence to a fade in to a fade out and silence between songs. When I buy a concert CD, I like the seamless transision between songs. It feels like you're experiencing the concert again. The seamed songs do take away from the recording, but only barely. Overall, this CD is a great release and worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunately for the wallet, and fortunately for Sarah McLachlan..., October 30, 2006

By	Silurian - See all my reviews

...this really is worth buying even if you already own the original Mirrorball. There are enough songs on here that aren't on the earlier release, including a far more generous selection from her first two albums (Vox, Into the Fire, I Will Not Forget You in addition to Path of Thorns), to make it worth the price. The album as a whole also has a much better sound - it's less produced and actually sounds live, unlike parts of its very polished predecessor. It does bug me that they didn't just release the complete concert in the first place though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely treat for Sarah fans, October 12, 2006

By	lost_in_space82 (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

I am usually quite miffed when Sarah and Nettwerk decide to re-release old Sarah songs but in this case I am *very* happy! This two-disc edition of "Mirrorball" is perfect for long-time Sarah fans as it covers her first four (and best) albums and it isn't as polished as the 1999 release. The sound quality is excellent and it almost feels like being at a McLachlan concert. An excellent addition for die-hard Sarah fans!
