This Cd is Awesome

"I love OAR and when i heard they were coming out with a new live disk, i just had to buy it. There songs live are much better than any of there studio songs. I was a little dissapionted because the disk does not have the awesome cover of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" it is advertised with on this site at all on the CD...maybe it was replaced at the last miunute...who knows. Anyways, if you are new to OAR i suggest you listen to "any time now" before you purchase this CD, this CD, while good, is not as good as there previous live cd release. There are several good new songs on the disk combined with a good mix of old favorites "city on down" and "crazy game of poker." Overall i would tell everyone to buy this CD; the fact it comes with a dvd with 7 songs recorded from that concert on it makes the deal even sweeter!"

Incredible

"This was the first O.A.R. cd I bought after listening to a few live songs by them in the car with a friend. It was the last cd on the shelf, and I was looking for one of their live ones anyway so i grabbed it. It was possibly one of the best decisions i ever made.

The first track immediately caught my attention as it kept building up more and more until finally Marc came in singing "darlinnn!" at the top of his lungs. I was hooked from that moment on. I listened to the entire album, both discs, all the way through, and I was completely blown away. These guys are amazing, and if you don't hear it, I feel sorry for you. Every single one of these musicians is incredibly talented, and they all get plenty of chances to show off. I love a good saxaphone though, so for me every time their sax player, Jerry Depizzo played one of his solo's, he completely stole the show.

I bought three more of their cd's within a week, and after listening to all of them, i'd have to say this is still my favorite, followed closely by Any Time Now. You need to check these guys out. You won't regret it."

Amazing

"I think OAR's latest live CD is awesome. I would agree that Anytime Now may be just a little better but since this has many new songs on it, it's great to have. Personally, I think that the live versions are so much better than the recorded versions.

Some songs are of course better than others but all are great. Ran Away to the Top of the World is one of the better songs in my opinoin, not the worst. However, as was said 17 minutes of Poker is amazing. All in all it's a great CD to have."

Just Pretty Good

"I really like O.A.R. a lot and own all their CD's except Soul's Aflame. This CD is not even close to as good as their other live CD, Any Time Now. If you are new to O.A.R. and don't have any of their CD's buy Any Time Now followed by In Between Now and then. I would only recommend buying this if you are a fan of O.A.R. It is still a good CD and has a couple songs you cant hear on previous recordings. See this band live they are awesome!"

6th O.A.R album, and it just keeps gettin better

"O.A.R (Of A Revolution), started out around 1997 as a frat house rock band in Ohio, now in 2004 here they are w/ their 6th album and already their 2nd double disc live album. I find this to be quite a feat by today standards considering sometimes there are 3 or 4 year waiting periods between albums. They dont rely on MTV or radio spinning their singles 24/7, they got to where they are by word of mouth by playing college after college and club after club, kids would tell their friends and they'd bring them the next time and that cycle just keeps going on and on

Now for the record..Disc 1 starts w/ "Dareh Meyod"...very cool tune, which leads into "About Mr. Brown", which is a huge fan favorite". "Wonderful Day" is a song only heard live and we can only anticipate when they finally lay this track down on studio tape. "Black Rock" another great song. "Missing Pieces" is a song that simply rocks here and is a fun song. "Ran Away To the top of the world today" and "old man time" keep the party going and then to close out the cd, they kick through an amazing version of "City on down/delicate few"

Disc 2 kicks off w/ "Right on Time", a good song that makes a lot of sense (just listen 2 it). They pull out some older songs which still manage to please nonetheless like "Someone in the road", "king of the thing", "here's to you", and "Toy Store". "whose chariot" takes on a whole new life live. "Patiently" is another on of those "cant wait to hear them record a studio version of this song". "i feel home" and "that was a crazy game of poker"....i wont even TRY to describe those songs

All in all a great record, as always there are songs id love to have on here like hey girl, destination, coalminer, revisited, conquering fools but no complaints here. These guys are AMAZING live, i saw them w/ some good friends this summer (j.n, s.c, c.l, j.e, p.d, b.m), 2,000 people outside for a couple of hours having the time of their lives w/ the fine music of O.A.R, but enough from me....LISTEN TO THE RECORD"
