Excellent !!!! I heard one song of theirs The Dolphin's Cry and it sent me on a whirlwind to find and hear the rest of what they have to offer !! I'd love to see them live - up close and personal :)
. This group is amazing in my opinion - I own every CD they have !!! Of course its my own opinion.
(Almost) all the hits
My expectation of any greatest hits album is that you'll never get ALL the songs you like by a band on the same album and this one is no different. Live is in my opinion one of the most underrated rock bands of the past 20 years. While all the mega hits are here (Selling the Drama, Lightning Crashes, Lakini's Juice, etc. ), this album's still missing a few songs I would have liked such as White Discussion and Simple Creed. Plus, I was surprised to see "Pillar of Davidson" on here considering that there are at least three other songs that were not released from the "Throwing Copper" album that are much better. All in all, this album is a must for both the casual or serious Live fan. Just be aware that if you're the latter and don't own any other Live songs, you may be getting on iTunes or Amazon to complete your collection of the "essentials. ".

It's inspiring and puts me in a good mood. I really love listening to this music. I's so much better to sing than cry.
Live's best showcase!
Finally! Although I feel alot more tracks from 'Mental Jewelry', and 'Throwing Copper', should have been included this collection is solid. I've been listening to Live since the early 90s and have been eagerly awaiting a hits collection from the band. This is the usual set you might hear at one of their shows. ***Solid, Highly recommended***.
Great collection
. This CD is exactly what I was looking for - a collection of Live's best songs over the years.
