Customer Reviews:

Good live album.......2006-01-29

Aside from Vaden's dying voice, this live album is really good. A nice mixture of songs from both studio albums. I never got a chance to see Toadies live, so I can't say how the live show is. Well not yet, they are reuniting on March 11th for a show in Dallas. I have seen Burden Brothers multiple times, and I know that Vaden's voice is much more powerful then what comes across on this album. All and all still a very good live album and a must have for Toadies fans.

Not the best intro to the Toadies.......2006-01-02

The Toadies' studio albums are far superior to this live album. Although the music comes together okay, the vocals seem very "off" and forced, unlike the magic of a well-rehearsed Todies disc. Their most famous song is "Possum Kingdom," and the radio version is far superior to the rendition on this album.

This does truly represent a "best of" the (unfortunately) very limited career of the Toadies. This is a must-have for fans, but if you are just getting into this band, try out one of their studio albums first.

Vaden Lewis (aka "Todd") has a cold.......2004-11-03

The Toadies are one of my favorite bands. I'm from Dallas, so they're local; I was one of the people crying in the front row at their final concert. They put on absolutely amazing live shows--and this album really doesn't do them justice at all. Vaden Lewis, the lead singer/songwriter (he went by "Todd" in the Toadies), lost his voice and sounds pretty bad in this album. Of course, the guitar work, etc., is wonderful--these are great musicians. If you can put up with a grating voice and a few microphone and recording problems, it's an awesome album. But their studio albums, Rubberneck and Hell Below, Stars Above, are better--and so is the first album by Vaden's new group, the Burden Brothers.

Toadies blew up.......2004-06-03

Im from the Toadies hometown of Ft. Worth, Texas and man could this band put on a live show. I saw them 10+ times in the mid-nineties and as with many DFW bands the live show was way better than CD's or (ekkkk) tapes! I was suprised to see Seattle has a decent amount of Toadies and Burden Bros. fans. So Im sure if you like intellegent hard-rock you'd love this CD, it made me feel 15 again.
