5 out of 5 stars An Amazing Album.......2005-12-16

Admittedly, I wasn't a fan of Sister Hazel until I saw them perform at the House of Blues back in 2001, but I went out and got their entire catalog shortly after that amazing show. They may have been the opening band (Vertical Horizon was the main act), but honestly, their performance was the pinnacle of the night for me.

After hearing about this live album, aptly named "Live live," I quickly picked up a copy and I'm glad I did. While I was slightly disappointed by "Lift" (which I got just prior to Live Live), I was overjoyed at the quality of this excellent live album.

If you love Sister Hazel, you shouldn't be without this album. 'Nuff said.

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT Album!.......2005-04-21

This is truly a great (2 CD) album. Not only in terms of content, but also in terms of recording levels, etc.

You will NOT regret this album. Another masterpiece from Sister Hazel.

5 out of 5 stars I was there! .......2004-12-02

WOW this was an AWESOME concert. I was at the Tampa concert at the masquerade, and it was truly amazing. Everyone, and i mean EVERYONE was singing along with the songs, the band was amazing and actually made two encores. I have never seen an entire audience know all the words to every song. The energy was truly unique, i understand why they chose this venue to record thier flawless preformance. this cd its a true representation of thier amazing live preformance ability, i recommend this album!

5 out of 5 stars LIVE and kicking!.......2004-03-20

I don't usually buy live albums, but I couldn't pass up "Live*LIVE!" by southern rockers, Sister Hazel. My criteria for buying/listening to live albums is usually 2 points:

-I've heard the artist live and loved it

-There's some intangible about their live collection
that I can't get anywhere else

I live not far from Gainesville, the band's college-town home, and have had the opportunity to enjoy them many times in different settings. I wasn't at either of the sessions used for "Live*LIVE!"....September 2003 performances at The House of Blues in Orlando and an appearance at The Masquerade club in historic Ybor City, a
long-time music venue in Tampa.

But the key to Sister Hazel's live performances is their connection with the audience. There's a band charisma that nearly leaps off the stage, that you sometimes can't feel in their studio albums (although all three have been superb).

The sets from Orlando are relatively free of crowd noise other than opening and closing applause, but the Tampa sets feature a rowdy back-up group in the audience who know all the words and sing at will. The only song that is overwhelmed by this is the first disc's "All for You", SH's biggest hit to date. It has been, over the years, stupefied by too much radio airplay, so you almost welcome a new version with "crowd sing".

Best of the tunes?

Disc One:

"Life Got In The Way" - a great opener, gets everyone's juices flowing....

"I wanted us to be the one that poets write their books about"....

"Just Remember" - hot guitar jams lead in and surround the song-- some great a capella voice harmonies by Block/Copeland offset a middling set of lyrics on this crowd pleaser

"Come Around" Block's voice is unmistakable and distinctive on this love song. Some of the lyrics on "Come Around" are visual poetry...

Disc Two:

"Your Winter"(also featured on the soundtrack of the movie "10 Things I Hate About You") and "Killing Me Too" are two of my favorite Sister Hazel songs. Quieter, and more introspective, both allow Block's plaintive upper register to shine through. Somehow the romantic insecurities that come through seem like Block's own. Perhaps they are. In "Killing Me Too", there's a surprise build up and crescendo at song's end that demonstrates just how well these boys play music.

"Sword and Shield" (recorded in Tampa), also graces disc 2. It's a departure from most of the S&H songs in theme - it is strangely and compellingly not contemporary in lyrics. It feels like it may have been written with a sound track in mind, although I don't think it appeared with any film. Copeland's harmonies are particularly haunting on the song, which features not only unique lyrics, but a more insistent beat.

There's really nothing not to like on the 2 disc set. One of my prior favorites, "Champagne High" sounds like less of a song because the band misses the back up vocals from Indigo Girl Emily Salier that appeared on the studio version.

College bar-band, maybe, by origin, but they've transcended far beyond that medium to one of the richest sounds of the south. Great music to sing along to when you're driving!

4 out of 5 stars CHAMPAGNE HIGH.......2004-02-27

I love live albums. Often I see a group in concert and they perform an awesome live rendition that makes it hard to go back to the studio recording. Also, if the concert is truly memorable, the live album can connect to that memory much more than a studio album.
Sister Hazel's Live Album does not disappoint. While it focuses on the Chasing Daylight release, it can be also called a "Greatest Hits' recording. Of course it includes their one-hit wonder, All for Your, but also includes their best stuff from other albums like Champagne High, Your Mistake, and Change Your Mind.
