Best Bluegrass out there... Everyone that has heard it loves it and wants to borrow it. I had no idea when I purchased Alison Krauss & Union Station in concert that I would have to fight to keep the CD. I now have to keep it under lock & key. Can't wait to get more of this group. They are simply the best ever. Incredible Recording Quality If you can find a SACD or LP copy if this, it is worth buying a record player or SACD player JUST FOR THIS. This is one of the best, if not the best recorded concert out there. I'm not even kidding. However, the CD is still awesome. Just make sure if you upload it to your computer, do it lossless. This was recorded using the best mics out there with the audience recored also. Because of this, you hear some crowd noise with an absolutely "you are there" feeling. It's hard to explain, but there is a lot of air in this recording. It's like they recorded the whole atmosphere of the concert hall. I can't recommend this enough. One of the best EVER! I'm not a fan of honky-tonk country, but I found a love of bluegrass and the amazing insturmentation that goes with it when I first started listening to this group. This album (a collection of songs that AKUS has recorded over the years at a live concert) is easily one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. From the first song they had me hooked. What amazes me most is that this entire album was recorded live, which just goes to show how talented they all are. The bits of audience reaction that are included do not get in the way of flow of the songs, but actually add to excitement of the songs. I loved it so much that I bought the DVD of the concert as well (also great with some documentaries). If you have other albums by AKUS or Alison Kraus, this is a must have! It has the very best of AKUS from the last 15 years. . I love this CD Alison and company are brilliant musicians and vocalists. Awesome is the only way to describe this CD. Every song is finely crafted. When Alison sings, it lifts my heart. "Beautiful" does not begin to describe it. A great live album I can't imagine a better helping of bluegrass and alt country than what I hear on these sides. "Wow" is the best way to describe the experience of listening to this 2 CD set. The instrumentals are blistering, Alison's vocals are breathtaking, and the all around musicianship is nothing but outstanding. There may be purists who know of better versions of the standards in this repertoire, but I'll take these any day. .
