Amazon.com For those late to the Soul Asylum party, which began in 1981 on cozy Minneapolis stages as Loud Fast Rules, the "Best-Live-Band-in-the-Country" badge pinned on them by countless longtime fans from David Letterman to George Wendt may seem like an exaggerated yarn. After the Flood finds the foursome at the pinnacle of their runaway-train popularity, a potent, airtight foursome living up to its reputation on a Saturday night at an airplane hangar in North Dakota, circa 1997, playing for high schoolers in a northern town ravaged by floods that summer. The applause meter on "hits" like "Black Gold," "Misery" and "Runaway Train" proves that most of the audience hopped aboard during 1993?s Gravedancer?s Union. And while the band fails (purposely neglects?) to sample from its essential punk rock back pages--Made to Be Broken or While You Were Out--it manages to revive those legendary stage chops on a half-dozen covers, including a metalish jaunt through Alice Cooper's "School?s Out," a straight shot of Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now," a flannel-soul edition of Marvin Gaye?s "Sexual Healing" and LuLu?s "To Sir With Love," on which chameleon vocalist Dave Pirner wails with grace. -- Scott Holter Similar CDs

CD ReviewsGreat Live CD - Great Cover Choices R. Curtis | Lake In The Hills, IL | 02/26/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This band is a phenomenal live band and this CD features them playing a great set list at the peak of their popularity. While their most memorable hits are here, what really makes this set list great is the cover tunes that they chose to play. The extraordinary Alice Cooper rock anthem 'School's Out' kicks the CD off. 'I Can See Clearly Now' is very appropriate given that they were playing a post flood prom. 'To Sir With Love' is awesome. 'I Know' is really fun to listen to. Even 'Rhinestone Cowboy' is given the royal rock treatment and becomes a sing along favorite. I gotta believe that this track was added for the cheesiness factor, but it's done very well. The only negative to this CD is that Dave Pirner's voice sounds off at times during Misery. But I didn't mind that so much because it only adds to the credibility of this being a true live CD and not an over produced piece trying to pass for a live CD. I've seen Soul Asylum live multiple times. They are an incredible live band. It's great to be able to be able to bring that energy home or in the car via this CD. I'm impatiently awaiting their next studio album. (Soul Asylum, if you are reading this, I'd love to hear you guys cover Shawn Cassidy's `That's Rock & Roll' for the cheesiness factor. I think you could make it rock) This is an excellent buy. Do yourselves a favor and buy this CD. " Excellent Christopher Barrett | Chickamauaga, GA United States | 02/18/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "One of the best live albums I have ever picked up. Thanks Sony, thanks Soul Asylum. This needed to get out!"
