Very Good Live Album both Performance and Sound

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, September 7, 2022 by Jim I took a chance and bought this album without any information about it and was pleasantly surprised. It was recorded in Germany in 1999. I've seen some slightly more recent America concerts on PBS and AXS TV and this one is similar in content and performance. It's tricky to record live concerts but they did a very good job on this one. The sound is clean and not compressed to my ears. Acoustic guitars sound pretty and not ever harsh. The vocals are clear and dynamic. The performance is very good. The vocals are clear, and their intonation is quite good which is never a given live. Harmonies are nice and so is the ensemble play. The one critique I have is with tempo. As I've heard on the PBS performances America will change their tempos frequently. They'll start out a song roaringly fast and slow it down when the vocals start. That's not uncommon for bands but it happens a lot on this album. But the musicians stay with it so it's not really a distraction. Overall GREAT!
