Free Music Review: Some of the Best
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great "review" disk. For a fan, disk one really isn't some we need to hear again. Honestly, I own everything I could have bought that has been released by this band, and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. Most die-hard fans would be willing to by a live album a month. But...this first collection is as the DMB's web-site put it, to fulfill contractual obligations. Otherwise, RCA made them do it. But as most already know, this is something to be heard. I suggest, skip the first disc and slap in the second. This is where you'll hear the best live recording released of Warehouse, Say Goodbye, Everyday, and a moving Two Step. Don't Drink the Water is strong...but not unlike all the other. I'd rather hear the Central Park version, or the Fenway Park cut. Stay is very clean, but I've heard this song plenty of times for the rest of my life. Louisiana Bayou is great, but pick up the Complete Weekend on the Rocks instead. And Ants Marching is...well, Ants Marching.
Everyday and Warehouse both are worth the cost of this album.
If you were lucky enough to order it through the band, you got the Encore CD which is outstanding. It opens with a solid Minarets from 1995. Goes into maybe the longest and greatest recording of #41. Over 30 mins worth of jamming by Bela Fleck & the Flecktones including solos by all the Tones. Dave does a little spoken word poetry in the middle about Bela & the The Flecktones being the best band ever. It then goes into by far the best I've ever heard of What You Are. An outstanding 3 minute intro to the song. And it closes with The Last Stop, maybe the most requested song at concerts. These 4 tracks alone are another hour plus.
Overall, I'm very happy with this collection. Greatest hits albums are lame, and thank goodness this isn't one of those. My only complaint: I would have liked live versions of Disc 1, but more than likely, that would end up being a 5 disc set with the wicked jams.
Most fans know that the DMB releases CDs that offer as a jumping off point. These guys are jazz musicians and every year, their songs will change. There are only a few that haven't strayed from the original sound. But I'd much rather hear a live version of So Much To Say into Anyone Seen the Bridge into Too Much with some of the new chord changes and Dave's always entertaining scats than to listen to Crash over and over. I'll always love the albums, but it's the concerts that make me listen over and over.
