Canadian power-pop superstars Sloan celebrate their dominance with this double-live-CD set, recorded largely during a multi-evening stand at a Toronto theater. Most of <I>4 Nights of the Palais Royale</I>'s meaty performances at least equal their studio versions, with a stripped-down "Everything You've Done Wrong" and a cranking "Money City Maniacs" among the highlights. The single most impressive moment, though, may be when the band adapts the noisy psychedelic extravaganza "Anyone Who's Anyone" to the requirements of the stage. Throughout, Sloan is likable, smart, and tough-minded, deserving of the enthusiasm that radiates from the audiences. <I>--Rickey Wright</I>

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Best live CD ever, best collection of Sloan songs.......2007-03-15

All the best Sloan songs on one CD, and they are amazing live.

5 out of 5 stars Simply the best live record I own........2001-08-17

I love this record.

Like most any live set, it's probably not the ideal place for the first-time listener, but how many live records are?

You'd be hard-pressed to find a group this talented who's so tuned in to their fans, and on this great collection it shows.

Quibbles about the noodling, the chatting, and the lack of overdubs is pretty pointless, IMHO. Unlike their heros, KISS, Sloan leaves the "clams" in, and I think that's part of what makes it so charming.

That aside, the performances are all pretty great. This is an all-out rock n roll romp with a band who knows how to please the kids who put the $$ (Canadian or otherwise) on the barrelhead. They seem like a swell bunch.

5 out of 5 stars Sloan creates a pop pleasure free of "bubblegum" beats........2000-06-03

In this day and age of pre-fab "bubblegum" bands with lyrics lacking any power or originality this two volume live set by Sloan is a truly welcome treat for the ears. Though this was recorded live each track is flawless and the audience participation and bantering between band members did not detract in any way from the musical experience quite the contrary it made it all the more intense. This band truly connects with both their audience and their music. Taking inspiration from both the 60's and 70's Sloan has created a unique sound that can be hard and driving as in "MoneyCity Maniacs" or persuasive and haunting like "Coax Me". If all those "be my baby" top 10 pop hits are getting you down try something a little different that will still keep ya dancing all night long and give "4 Nights" a listen.

3 out of 5 stars really more for the fans than the uninitiated.......1999-11-18

This is not a good place to start if you're trying out Sloan for the first time--go with any of the studio albums (except the baby-steps debut "Smeared"). The strengths of the album are the good humor, spirited crowd participation and go for broke playing. On the other hand, the playing is sloppy, the singing is sometimes a bit off-key, and the band too often stops what they're doing to let the fawning audience fill in the blank--like in parts of "snowsuit sound" and "i can feel it". 2 cd's are too much for all except the most rabid fan, and only 1 song out of the 20-plus on the whole set surpasses the original--"Anyone Who's Anyone." But believe me, my less than ringing endorsement of this record by no means implicates incredible Sloan records like "Between the Bridges", "Navy Blues," "One Chord to Another" and "Twice Removed." I'd recommend you order all 4 and get caught up on the pop genius that is Sloan.
