Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A pleasant surprise
I didn't know what to expect with this CD, since Mike Scott often traverses the thin line between the sublime (This Is The Sea) and the absurd (Rock in a Weary Land). He either inspires me or makes me laugh at how trapped in his myth he is.
That being said, this is an excellent live album. The title from my favorite song from Fisherman's 2: Higher in Time should have been a clue. The familar "hits" are probably better in their studio versions, but if you were at the show, these were undoubtedly ... Read More
Rating: - Best Waterboys Album in Years
This is a terrific collection of live Waterboys songs, including several solo Mike Scott tunes. What can I say other than the sound quality for a live recording is simply fantastic. Hope Mike and his crew get to tour the states soon. After seeing the Pogues live last month in Los Angeles, it's time for a few other Gaelic rockers to get back to their fans...
Rating: - Another winner
The Return of Jimi Hendrix nearly moved me to tears the first time I heard it.
Some tunes were better on the 'Live Adventures', especially 'The Pan Within' and that massive sound, but this is a great sampling of their stuff and it only leaves me wanting more and more from these guys.
Brilliant stuff, what else is there to say?
Rating: - The Best Live CD you'll hear this year
and one of the best CDs period. Mike Scott leaves nothing on the table and brings to the proceedings material from the entire Waterboys' catalogue. I'll never understand how they self-destructed on the cusp of greatness in the early nineties. This was a band to reckon with and they had the excitement and the energy and the tunes to eclipse Springsteen and a whole host of others who simply play to the gallery. Scott went into a period of solo outings and nominal Waterboy efforts, but perhaps with the release ... Read More
Rating: - Great for what it is
This cd is great for what it is- a one cd set of live recordings culled from many shows. Generally I'm not a big fan of this approach- I'd prefer a whole live show, warts and all, as opposed to selecting the best tracks from a myriad of performances.
That said, my disdain for the "cut and paste live cd" is overcome by the incredible performances here. My only real gripe- I want more. A 2-cd set would offset the cut and paste approach. Also, where is the song "Universal Hall?" I saw The Waterboys ... Read More
