Album Description 2009 two disc (CD/DVD) release featuring 17 live tracks (CD) plus The Hold Steady Documentary (DVD). In the last three years, the Hold Steady have a come a long way. They've gone from being everyone's favorite bar band in their hometown of Minneapolis to critically acclaimed, international heavyweights. The band's newest studio album, Stay Positive, adorns just about every tastemaker Top 10 list of 2008, and the album has now sold over 100,000 copies worldwide. The band's live show is a big part of their success. While some fans try and keep up with Craig Finn's now-renowned vocals, some just shake with joy and try to mimic Finn's white-guy dance moves. A Positive Rage is not only a live album but, through a documentary style DVD, also gives fans a look behind a band that has risen from the Indie Rock underbelly to being the voice for hundreds of thousands of beer swilling men and women that are out to have a good time.

CD ReviewsA great document Sam Sailor | New York, NY | 04/09/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I watched this last night as soon as I got home and I loved the DVD! You feel like you're right there with the band sharing their excitement. As a musician, I only dream of the day that my music career will support me and I can ditch the day job! The live album is going to live in my car for a very long time. " Bridging Generations with AWESOME ROCK John L. Thompson | Sykesville, MD United States | 04/14/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Hold Steady and this album in particular are a group that will make you feel young and old at the same time. Their energy and smart lyrics are so infectious, that you can't help recall the days of being 21 watching a great local bar band playing songs you love. Of course... that makes you feel old at the same time. The CD is a great representation of their live show, which is clearly not a lip sync stage show like many artists today. You can hear their energy and the nuances that make a great live show great. It's a good mix of songs from their most recent album, Stay Positive, to their early albums, like Almost Killed Me and Separation Sunday. Both the CD and DVD create a feeling of intimacy which is representative of their live shows, and how their songs are written. The DVD is really fun too. Since the Hold Steady is not a highly commercial band, it is hard to get insight about it's members, even though as a fan you feel like you already know them. NOTE ABOUT UNPLAYABLE CDs in PCs: Report the problem to Vagrant Records if you have it. It seems that the problem is with Windows machines. I have tested it in Windows Vista 64, XP, and MacOS. Works fine on MacOS. Windows does not particularly like the CD. After a few eject and reinserts I got the CD audio portion to read on Vista. The data portion was never recognized. Couldn't get it to work on XP at all. Once again... it works fine on Macs." A great CD / DVD package J. Lowry | 04/09/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "This CD / DVD package is awesome! It's a full live show recorded in Chicago at the Metro and an hour long DVD. The live CD is well mixed and mastered, with the sing along, high energy nature of the show captured as well as possible. The DVD is also really well done. Craig and company's insight into the creative process and the day to day of being in a band is interesting and the documentary is well shot without feeling like it's too long. Between the CD and the DVD, I'll always have something to pass the time between their shows!
Side note -- Not sure what the other reviewer is talking about, the CD played fine in my computer and car, and the DVD looked great on my TV. Also had a few friends buy it and they had no problems." |
