Must have for the fan!
Great live and great on CD! I saw them in Austin years ago and they were a lot of fun.


Great concert
I've ordered the new Smithereens Live CD, but this one has several selections that won't be on that one. This is a great collection of the Smithereens in a concert setting from 1996. If you like the Smithereens, you'll love this CD.


WOW! Blown Away!
The boys are just smokin'

All song are great, well done, and flat out ROCK!. This is a super live CD.


Great Live set!!
The mixes are really good and the songs are great. Normally I don't care for live CD's - but this one was a very pleasant surprise. I saw the Smithereens live and sadly didn't have the cash on hand to buy this CD that night. I did order it the next day on Amazon. If you have the chance to see the Smithereens Live - Do so, they put on a great show. If not, get this album and enjoy!!.


A nice cheap surprise..
Despite some too-tight editing that slam-bangs each song into almost a 45 minute medley the bands performance is tight and exciting. I spotted this at my local Wallyworld and took a chance. The four tracks from "A Date With the Smithereens" CD benefit greatly from the live treatment: they're played with more energy and enthusiasm than the studio versions.

Besides the super-rare "Smithereens Live" EP from 1987 this is the only available live recording from the band. For the cheap price this is a no-brainer purchase for the die-hard Smithereens fan. But I wish Sony music would have least mentioned where the concert was recorded at on the liner card!

I also wish the Smithereens could put together a live concert DVD, they deserve one. I've seen these guys 3 times over the years and Pat and the guys never disappoint! .
