Customer Reviews:

Fine performance but song selection weak overall.......2001-10-09

At the time of its release, I was excited to hear that Fogelberg was putting out a live album... until I actually saw which songs were included on it. While I enjoy several cuts from this album, overall I am dissapointed with the song selection. There is nothing from "Home Free" or "Nether Lands," albums that include some of Fogelberg's best songs. Not only are these two records ignored, but many of the songs that are included are ones that are not among his best. Indeed, this live performance felt a little too much like a "Greatest Hits" album, one that usually does not include the best material an artist has to offer but, instead, includes songs that received the most radio play. There are, however, fine moments in the performance, one being Tim Weisberg's guest appearance for three tunes and another being Fogelberg's surprising display of acoustic slide ability on "Road Beneath My Wheels." Fogelberg needed to put out a live album at this time in his career. It's just too bad that he did not spend more time deciding what and what not to include on it.

Enchanted.......2000-05-30

I have been a Fogelberg Fan since the mid '70's and his work still does something for me. This live albun covers an evening that held me enchanted and enthralled as I listened to all the old favorites (and some new favorites!) with a fresh twist. This is his second best album next to "The Innocent Age"

A Gem Among Live Albums.......2000-01-20

Listening to this album "over & over" again (to use one of its track titles) still makes me sad that Dan never supported his European sales with the odd tour over here. Having been a Fogelberg Fan since 1977, I was thrilled by this release in 1991. It captures Dan Fogelberg doing what he does best, enchanting the audience with his musicality and his emotions. This is a brilliant live album that will never sound "dated", and I also highly recommend the excellent video version of this (again, sadly only available in the US format which will not play on standard European VCR's).

High-energy live performance that covers his best.......1999-09-07

This Cd is one that I can listen over and over again. In fact I bought CD and tape so that I can listen everywhere.
