5 out of 5 stars Best performer from ireland.......2005-11-30

I have been a total fan of Luka Bloom since he played in my Fathers pub in a small town in Ireland in the 80's before his first album. He is a pure genius! Words, voice, music, performer and this album proves all of the above and more....He is brill live and this ablum makes you feel right there at the show..its the only thing i treasure of Luka to remind me of the good old days watching and listening to him perform.

5 out of 5 stars Almost as good as live!.......2003-11-03

I first heard Luka Bloom open for the Pogues at the Fillmore in San Francisco in the late 80's. I came away with ringing ears (3 days!), one broken rib and a new musician to love! I would go see him whenever he played in less strenuous venues around town, and he was always astonishing. The power and beauty he can pull out of his guitar is sublime, his singing haunting, and his stage performance charming. I never felt like his studio albums did justice to his live performances, until this one. While no CD can simulate the wonder of Mr Bloom singing 40 feet in front of you, this is a fine substitute until he comes to town again!

5 out of 5 stars fantastic.......2003-07-07

Luka Bloom is an incredible singer whose deeply emotional and convincing vocals are fully intact, and even more animated live.
Buy this CD.

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful concert.......2003-05-06

Leaving the Carre Theatre in Amsterdam after Luka Bloom's magical performance that night in February 2002 the only sad thing I felt was that I could not replay the evening again at home. As the sleeve notes to the album say, the audience had no clue the evening was recorded. 'Amsterdam' contains a wonderful live selection of songs from his earlier albums, and the intimacy of the evening can be felt throughout the entire record. Definitely a 'must have'.
