Just not a great live album But as live albums go, this one is just plain bad. Live from Toronto is the only live everclear album. Except for some crowd noise at the beginning and end of the tracks, each song sounds just about like studio version. Even the guitar solos are [bad], uninspired, and pretty much sound like the studio version as well. Nor is there any dialogue. Art says "hey this is the next single off our album," and "goodnight" at the end. That's it. In other words, unless you're just a die hard everclear fan, I wouldn't recommend live from toronto - this album doesn't offer anything new on everclear. 8 LIVE TRACKS! YAY! Obviously, you are debating purchasing it. This CD is great! I simply cannot say how great of a bandEverclear is. Well, Iwould highly recommend it. There are no other Everclear Live CD's on the market that you will find (except for auctions, and some live tracks on singles), so if you would like 8 live recorded songs, this is for you. CD is approximately 30 minutes long. This shows what Everclear should sound like. Everclear sounds better live than they do on any of their albums, with the possible exception of "World of Noise". This is an expensive album, no matter where you look, and you only get eight songs, but its well worth it. You don't get the total sence of energy they have at a live show, but you can see can hear it to a point. There is a great version of "Herion Girl" that sounds like the Eagles could have done. Local God also sounds great. Pick this album up if you want to know what Everclear should really sound like. the best rock band there better than most of those grunge rock bands. everclear is very talented. there music talks about people and events and its not trash. the lead singer doesnt scream and u can hear what there saying. there music has a catching tune to it. everclear is great they are a very talented band. i have seen everclear live 4 times in my life. I own 2 other everclear live cd's that are very rare. along with two videos of them live that are very rare. being that this is the only cd with any of there new stuff on it i say it is a definite buy. cuz i m still living with your.
