Good, but could've been better Their second Union Chapel December concert, the following year, offered a greater variety of material - i. From an experienced fan's point of view, the problem with this CD is that it was recorded a year too early. e the rocking stuff got more of a look-in - and more impassioned performances. Here, only `Outshine The Sun' (and `Farewell Mr Sorrow' on the limited edition bonus disc) capture in the Eves in full-on rock mode. More importantly, though, this disc is electric of instrument but not of performance. On softer (`December') and harder (`Wild Hearted Woman') songs alike, the band (inclding Julianne) are operating at reduced intensity. The disc is hardly a write-off though - it works as a companion to the acoustic live discs, allowing you to hear those new arrangements of old songs in fleshed-out form. And two of the Willson-Piper solo songs in their repertoire are reprised here. It's just not the sort of disc I would recommend to anyone who isn't an experienced fan, as it doesn't really represent the 2000/1 electric tours at their best.

Excellent Tranquil but not inane, her voice rises and falls flawlessly to a passionate, guitar-driven background. It's enveloping. The music just moves right along, while the occasional lead emerges seamlessly at just the right point. The tracks seem mature and very well orchestrated, though without loosing emotion for structure. The musicians really seem to compliment one another. I love this cd and recommend it to anyone. Just my two cents. You can see a complete list of all All About Eve discography, or go back to the All About Eve tabs
