Free Music Notes for Our Lady Peace - Live
Free Music Review: The best live albumn I have yet encountered
Hit: 5 Stars
I think that if you want to truly know the talent of a band, you need to hear them live. And Our Lady Peace passes that test. Being an avid OLP fan, I have to warn you I am a little biased, but I will try to be honest. So here goes.1. All For You- While this is one of my favorite songs in studio, it isn't quite as good live. Raine goes a little quicker with his vocals, and it doesn't have the same effect. All the same, it's a great intro to the albumn.
2. Superman's Dead- Nice, simple, acoustic sounding beginning- just a few chord strums before heading into the song. I like how he pauses and talks the audience into singing, "Doesn't anybody ever know that the world's a subway?".
3. Not Enough- Excellent song, heavier on this albumn.
4. Naveed/Life- I love the intro to Naveed, and they drag it out here. It's a nice combination of the two songs.
5. Innocent- Surprising beginning, very good.
6. Bring Back the Sun- This is not an extraordinary song, in studio or here, but I never skip it. It's just a different sound- mellower, muter, and beautiful. Not extraordinary, but still great.
7. One Man Army- This is such an invigorating song.
8. Is Anybody Home?- Not that different from the studio version, but of course that's not bad.
9. Our Time Is Fading- I'm anxious to hear the recorded version, because I think that the guitar got a little muffled and doesn't sound as good as it could. The chorus is awesome though.
10. Are You Sad?- I never really appreciated this song until I heard Raine talk about it on this albumn. I think we have all wanted to help someone in this sort of situation, or been that person who has needed the help.
11. Whatever- This is the first time I heard this song, and I am pleased with it. It has a different sound to it, kind of like "Our Time is Fading".
12. Clumsy- Of course, a classic OLP encouragement song.
13. Starseed- This song just excells compared to its recorded version. The musicality is genius, it's gives you a rush of adrenaline everytime Raine screams, "Yeah yeah yea-ee!". But the best part is before the song actually starts. He's singing, "It's my way out" over and over, like he's trying to convince himself. But my favorite part on this CD, on any CD is around 1 minute 42 seconds when he yells. It gave me shivers about the first eight times I heard it.
14. Somewhere Out There- Ah, of course. That summer hit that everyone loves, no matter how elitist you are. This a soft, pretty song, and it sounds just as great live as recorded.
Well, there you go. Buy it.

Hit: 5 Stars
You know that you're dealing with a great live album when you fee; like you're actually there in the stands and you can feel the overwhelming energy of the concert. This is one of the best live albums I've ever heard from anyone. From Raine Maida'a love it-or hate hi-pitched and down-beat vocals to Mazur's excellent guitar picks to Maggert's fabulous drumming to the harmonic vocals of the crowd, This album proves that not only is OLP a great band to listen to but is also a great band to go see. Although it lacks "the birdman" which I thought they did an unbelievable job on during that concert. It has enough hits to make up for it. With hits from this past year (Somewhere out there, innocent) and hits from the past (naveed, starseed) and hits from in-between (One man army, clumsy), you can see just how successful this band has really been for about these last 10 years (already??). I am also pleased with how Maida gets the audience involved many times during the show, especially on songs such as "superman is dead", "innocent", "is everybody home". Their best performance on this album is quite easily on "Starseed" which was their first hit and one of their biggest ever. Overall though, I thought that this album ultimately showed that Steve Mazur could be the great guitarist that Mike turner was for OLP's first four albums for he was excellent that night, especially on "The birdman" and "Starseed". All in all, a must have for any OLP fanFree Music Review: I've waited so long for this
Hit: 5 Stars
As a long time fan of OLP, I've been wanting them to release a live CD for years. If you've seen one of their shows, you'll know they're at their best when on stage. This CD captures that perfectly!! Included in the CD are a good mix of hits and rarer songs to please everyone from the casual fan to the die hard. They've done a beautiful job mixing together the songs Naveed and Life (if you like U2 you'll love this version, I half expected them to break into "Pride"). New lyrics were added to Is Anybody Home (different at each show) and the intro to Starseed is absolutely amazing!! Bring Back the Sun is incredible! I just can't say enough good things about this CD. Even if you have every studio release, buy this as well, you won't be disappointed. It is NOT just the same songs all over again! You haven't heard OLP until you've heard them live. The only thing I wish is that they would have included the song "Do you like it". It was always played after "All for you" on this tour with no break between the two songs. I got so used to hearing the two together that it's strange to have one missing. (If you've seen enough shows that you would notice this, and that it would annoy you, then I'm sure you already have this CD!).Free Music Review: Our Lady Peace does it again
Hit: 5 Stars
As a loyal OLP fan, I own all 5 previous CDs and have been to a few shows. This is a band who is truly awesome live, and Raine Maidia sounds just as great without a recording stuido, unlike so many of today's popular artists. The band never misses a note, either. The CD really lets you imagine yourself at the show, because there is a lot of crowd involvement. It also includes most of their big hits (there are so many after all these years, it's hard to fit them all on) and the combination of Naveed and Life is really good.Any Our Lady Peace fan would love this CD. If you don't own any of their previous CDs, I would reccomend buying them first to get a feel for the music (which i am sure you will love).
This is the kind of CD you can listen to over and over and not get bored of
Free Music Review: OLP at their best - in concert
Hit: 5 Stars
I love the intensity of Our Lady Peace in a live performance. Don't be deterred by some people's disappointment at a lack of some hits on the CD. A disc can only hold about 120 minutes of music, and this disc has 117 minutes of music, so it's difficult to complain.I'm not generally into live albums, because most bands and singers don't sound as good live as in the studio. But last year I went to see an OLP concert, since they're my favorite band. I was amazed to realize that OLP is even better live (I didn't think it was possible for them to be any better). So, in short, buy this CD, because you will not regret it.
