Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Nice live set here.......2006-11-04

Rather than review a 4 disc set , I'll give my review of this item. It's further live material with special guests and the music on here is very good. A lengthy version of Little Feat's "Spanish Moon" is a highlight here and fans of Warren Haynes work with Mule and the Allman Brothers will enjoy this disc. I don't see how some reviewers will give this a bad review based on the fact that this material can be purchased as part of a boxed set. This disc is sold as a stand alone disc and it is very enjoyable however you purchase it.

1 out of 5 stars Buy The Collectors Edition Instead..........2003-05-24

I own LWALHFOF, The Collectors Edition as well as the two CD version. For my money this product is a waste. Gov't Mule with the late great Allen Woody(bass) was a spectacular band. Mixing equal parts blues, funk, jazz, country, and space jamming this band in some ways even surpassed its parent band, the 1990's ABB.

Warren Haynes felt that he had to release the four CD set because the concert was great. I concur with that assessment.
Do yourself a favor, lay down the extra $$ for the expanded edition I promise you won't be disappointed!

2 out of 5 stars Get the Limited Edition Boxset instead.......2003-05-13

There is some good music here, but this not the thing to buy. It is not a good value, and it does not contain the best of the concert. You should buy the Limited Edition instead. If you already have the 2 CD "vol 1", then you have a hard choice to make.

Live With A Little Help From Our Friends comes from a New Years Eve concert in 1998. It was released as a standard 2 disc set and a Limited Edition 4 disc set. The 2 CD set contained about 150 minutes of music. The Limited Edition contained the complete concert, was 100 minutes longer and had some extras. The Limited Edition, was originally a limited edition, but now it is readily available and not too expensive.

This CD, vol 2, contains 5 tracks that were on the Limited Edition, but not on the standard 2 CD set. It is only 50 minutes long. I don't know why they didn't bother to include more songs, especially since there was enough room on the CD. Left off is the 17 minute version of Hendrix's Third Stone from the Sun. It is the second best track on the Limited Edition. Instead they include Spanish Moon, with the silly chipmunk solo in the middle.

Note that the last track, Frank Zappa's Pygmy Twilight is actually a studio recording.

In summary, I don't think this CD is worth buying. It is only 50 minutes long. If you already have vol 1, buying this does not give you the complete concert. It doesn't contain the best tracks from the concert. And it is priced at about the same price as the 2 CD vol 1, with 3 times more music.

5 out of 5 stars More great live music.......2002-07-02

More great music from one of the best jam bands in America. Get this if you have the 2 CD version of LWALHFOF 1. Otherwise you might want to go for the 4 CD box set.

In any case, it's great and Warren Haynes' scope and talent is incredible.

5 out of 5 stars Gov't Mule and Friends Create Outstanding Music In Concert.......2002-05-18

At a time when so much great live music remains in the vaults, Warren Haynes continues to record and release amazing performances. The "Wintertime Blues" live double CD of an annual Christmas Jam with major guests, is also a prime example.

Live With A Little Help From Our Friends 2, along with Part 1 released earlier, was recorded at Atlanta's Roxy Theatre New Year's Eve '98/'99. Amazing music with Gov't Mule's Haynes, Allen Woody, Matt Abts, and with guests Chuck Leavell, Derek Trucks, Jimmy Herring, Randall Bramblett, Bernie Worrell, Marc Ford and others. How fortunate there were tapes rolling.

***The 4 CD Collector's Limited Edition of this is highly recommended, which includes CD-ROM Enhanced Bonus Material.
