excellent purchase
this was an excellent album!!!Great price and being that it was used it was in pretty good condition.


Sublime
I recall that this was in my car CD player when I left it to get some work done. The first song on this live album is Seek Up and it is sublime. I remember the guy at the oil change place was so excited to hear Seek Up he asked me what it was and where I got it. He did not even know Dave Matthews but was going to go out and get it himself. Later I think someone stole my CD or borrowed it and never returned it. I had to buy another one which led me here. Great stuff!.


Could I have been lost somewhere at Red Rocks (on 8.15.95)?
I had to smuggle these low-key tan-colored CD's from my friend's Case Logic one by one to listen to them, but the theft was worth it and I loved what I heard: like Crash, the sound is so instantly appealing, the definition of listenable, so sheeny and buoyant: listen to the little rubber ball-bounce quality of the guitar in the sneaking, teasing intro to Dancing Nancies, and Carter's falling stardust chimes mixing with the rocket ship vapor trail acoustic sound/"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" melody of "Satellite. I don't think the DMB gets much better than what must have been an incredible late summer's night in the Colorado mountains in 1995. " Dave, too, still has that helium-balloon weirdness in his voice, but it's starting to mellow and enrichen and even flatten dully: the first encore song "Typical Situation" is so lonely; you can almost feel the darkness and wind starting to become chill and the dew starting to collect on the grass, and gets up to real pathos in a remarkable final two minutes filled with howled random syllables and sentence fragments firming up with the ironic recovery "we'll keep the big door open, everyone'll come around--you'll see. " Great artwork, too. . . the album booklet has old black and white Gold Rush-era photos from`the actual construction of Red Rocks, and besides standard shots of the band, one photo is just of someone's shoes, all on almost-cardstock paper. If only I wasn't eleven at the time.

Fave lyric: "Some people drink, some people don't, / Some people think-- some people won't / Some people do and some people don't / but it's ok, 'cause it's meant to be that way. " (Intro to "Recently")'.


Great early live recording
The appearance by Tim Reynolds on guitar, who appeared on the first three studio albums but wasn't really a regular on tour, adds to several tracks, especially Rhyme and Reason. This is a great performance from one of the band's earliest national tours.

This show offers newer fans a chance to hear the earlier days and see how some songs evolved live before being recorded for studio releases. 5 songs here were eventually recorded for the Crash album released the following year. .


good album
All of his live stuff is better than in the studio. If you like Dave Matthews buy his live stuff. It doesn't matter which one you get but my personal favorite is the Central Park Concert. This one is good too though, but not his best.
