What's so "extended" about it? I have them on the original studio CDs. Sure, I like the songs. I was hoping that this live CD would have more of the banter and odd interludes that the 'Ladies insert when they're in concert, but really, these sound mostly like live copies of the originals without much interesting and new. (Exception: "Enid" has never sounded better. The imitation of the trumpets and harmonies are really nice. ). Good, but nothing special If you are a big fan, you'll enjoy it, but for casual fans, you most likely won't. Basically it's just the guys live for some tracks. If you want REALLY good live stuff, I'd check out Rock Spectacle CD, Barelaked Nadies DVD, and the new Talk To the Hand Live In Michigan DVD and CD (which is the best out of them, and is directed beautifully. The closest to feeling like you are there!) So if you need to add more to your BNL collection, get it. If you want a great live show, get Talk To the Hand. The ladies never let you down! The guys perform the classics with a fresh take every time and this album is no different. As with all BNL cds, this one delivers. Buy it. Listen to it. Love it. ;). Not at all like seeing them live I've seen them live numerous times & never been disappointed. I am a HUGE BNL fan. What makes BNL special is their live shows. Ad libs, changing lyrics, funning jokes. These aren't well represented on this CD. Great songs, but not the best extended versions. See them live, then you'll understand. Not Anything Special Here, but still, it's BNL It's some live recordings of the band from several East Coast shows. I'm a bit of a Barenaked Ladies collector, and hey, this was cheap. Good quality recordings, but, honestly, not a lot of the "spark" you'll find by actually attending one of their live shows. Good music, but I've heard it before. .
