"I listen to a wide variety of music but the Vigilantes of Love have earned the place as my favorite band! The most disappointing thing about this live album is that it is not a double CD! Every cut is a real treat, capturing the intensity and passion that this band bleeds out their pores. The are definetely the most underrated band in America. "Avalanche" is great on the studio release but is phenomenal live as are all the cuts. This album is full of smart lyrics and great music. Buy this album!"

Great Live, Great In the Studio, Just Plain Great

"It's amazing how good VOL sound live, but generally speaking even great live bands don't make great live albums. This is not true of VOL, and this album is proof. They are quite able to duplicate their excellent studio sound in concert, or maybe it's the reverse, either way they sound fantastic. I needed only see them once to be convinced that I needed to buy all their albums. Live Bill's emotional connection to his music just pours out. Sound wise they are fine folk rock, similar to Sister Hazel, Gin Blossoms and The Counting Crows. Any of their albums is worth owning, and this one, which features tracks from a number of the studio albums, is a great starter. Standouts include "Could Be A Lot Worse', `Avalanche' and `The Opposite's True'. I also highly recommend VOL's studio albums TO THE ROOF OF THE SKY, BLISTER SOUL and AUDIBLE SIGH"
