Hanson just got room on my favorite CD list. While I was working, I was getting bored of my normal playlist, so I put my iPod on shuffle and Hanson came on. When I was younger at the time when Hanson was super popular, I did not really like them that much, but they've changed my mind the past week. I went and found the CD in its entirety and listened to it. It was amazingly catchy and perfect to work to. This concert is amazing. . . they have so much talent! I'd recommend Live From Albertane over Middle of Nowhere any day. (Maybe that's because I didn't really like the high, squeaky voices). Live from Albertane - when they live they mean live!! This is the best live cd i have ever heard and if your worried about there being screaming in the middle songs- worry not because there is really none except in the begining and end of tracks - so check it out and if you like buy and then check out their Christmas cd - Snowed in mg:). great, it feels like your there!!! some person wrote that they didn't like it because MMMBOP does not sound quite the same as it did on middle of nowhere, well of course it doesn't hanson is older now their voices have changed a bit and it's live, so if you fell in love with hanson for their baby voice - you fell in love for the wrong reason. Live is GREAT This CD marks where Hanson's voices began changing. This album is one of the BEST live albums in the history of live. And there are some new songs and cover songs. No fun. I'm referring to the guys' singing, that is. Bad, bad, bad. Middle of Nowhere was amazing because Taylor's (and to lesser extents, Issac's & Zac's) were so prominent and high pitched. Their high-range vocals fit the airy, bouncy atmosphere of their songs perfectly, but now that they're practically adults by the time of Albertine, they just do not sound right. The istrumentation is great as expected from the guys, but three nearly grown men singing Mmbop with their newly-changed low voices takes all the fun out of the song. ... One Night Only Concert The Barry,Robin and Maurice Gibb of Tulsa,Oklahoma are rocking an almost completely female crowd with some of the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE tracks like,"Where's The Love?","I Will Come To You","Speechless" and "MMMBop". Fourteen months after releasing their debut album,Hanson are still promoting MIDDLE OF NOWHERE with a probably sold-out performance at Seattle's Key Arena on July 21,1998. I saw Hanson on the Oprah Winfrey show before this album was recorded. They performed "MMMBop" in a key different from the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE studio track and the live version on this album. Every audience member at Hanson's appearance was a young female. These guys are a trio of musical Leonardo DiCaprios. Here,they cover the 60's hits "Gimme Some Lovin'",coupled with "Shake A Tail Feather" on track one,and "Money". At the end of the album,the band thanks their fans for attending,tells them they rock and tops it off with a "goodbye" and "goodnight".
