my favorite official live release
I started listening to a lot of live DMB about 3 years ago, and I find myself drawn to this concert again and again. This is my favorite official live release from DMB. I estimate I've listened to it at least 50 times, and it's still a special show for me. In fact I'm listening to it as I type (Lie in Our Graves is rocking).

There is so much I could write about this show: how it has my favorite versions of 5 songs, how the timbre of Boyd's violin and Carter's snare head are distinct in a good way, how each guest adds something special to the show, and so on.

I've heard over 100 shows, including all of the official live releases except for a couple of Live Trax. I can't say definitively that this is my all-time favorite show, but like I said it's my favorite official release. So if you like DMB and want to hear them at their best, get this CD. And also go to dreamingtree. org or antsmarching. org and get some of the great fan-taped shows too.

Enjoy the music!.

amazing!!!!!!!!1
I highly recommend it!! #41 is such a great song!!!. This is a great live album.

Not their best, but still a great live album
The guests are fantastic; which includes Victor Wooten, Maceo Parker, and Tim Reynolds. Live in Chicago is a great, tight live performance that displays how great DMB is live. I don't know why Amazon. com reviewer Jerry McCulley thinks that Pantala sounds anything close to Kenny G, it goes nowhere close. LeRoi Moore's soprano tone is much warmer and nicer than Kenny G's, that was an uncalled for comment.

Though this isn't as good a performance as say "The Gorge" or "Central Park", it still is a great one to have in your library. It is a great set and is well performed. The solo work done by Moore and Tinsley is fantastic as is the tight backings by Beauford and Lessard. Dave sings and plays great as usual. Though whenever I listen back to these older concerts, I do start to miss the great addition of Butch Taylor on keys, he certainly adds a nice new dimension and texture to the sound of the band. Still a great performance though, get it!.

Brillant live album, DMB at their height.
This is why I would stand in line for tickets and anticipate each album release. This album is so good, from beginning to start, it has that energy that is so lacking in today's DMB. This DMB exists no more, they have become so watered down and lifeless. If you have never listened to Dave, this is THE definitive album for them. Shortly after this album, the shows became stagnant and the albums released become more paint by numbers that the next. I remember seeing a show after this where Dave was doing solo's. . . unreal!

I just wish they could recapture this energy, get back with Lillywhite, and quit making elevator music.

BUY THIS NOW!.

Best Live Recording Ever


I love this live CD, it is only for hardcore fans though, with a lot of BTCS. Even if, they had to re-record Boyd Tinsley's Violin parts.
