Unbelievably Good! First, it is great quality.
This is one of BNL's best. You can hear all of the instruments and vocals nice and clearly. Also, the band sounds great! Steve and Ed's vocals are fanominal, as well as all the instruments. Another thing is the great song selection. Love it! .
Great live music
They do great live versions of their classic songs. This is the middle time for the BNL. The only objection I have to this is there is some profanity in one of the songs. I listened to this with my cousins when we were younger. Outside of the small useage of profanity, this is a classic album and a must for any BNL fan. .
An asset to any BNL fan
And the fact that there is some live comedy added in makes the CD almost perfect. I love BNL and this CD is a wonderful gathering of some of their best songs. You really get an idea of what these guys are like if you've never been able to see them in concert.
Best Darned Music on this Planet
Buy it. . listen to it. . . . then listen to it again louder. . . . . 'nuff said.
Being Naked Live Ain't Embarassing
In the Spring of 1996, The Barenaked Ladies performed amazing rock sets at both the Rivera in Chicago and The Oympia in Montreal. Here is a live record containing a band that sounds as good live as they do in the studio. With a group trained on the double bass, bass guitar, keyboards, accordian, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, drums, and vocals; it is pretty obvious that the Barenaked Ladies' music is very musical and unique. Their songs are a light rock, very poppish, but ear catching. Some of them are even given a Swing feel and beat. This album is a must have for any fan and for anyone who enjoys listening to music. Enhanced CD features include footage of skits and and live performances.
Stand out tracks include:
"Brian Wilson"
"Straw Hat And Old Dirty Hank"
"Jane"
"When I Fall"
"Hello City"
"The Old Apartment"
"Life In A Nutshell"
"If I Had A $1,000,000".
