Being my favorite band I really love everything Live has to offer in music. This is a really good best of CD because it has songs from every album. It has all the songs I have enjoyed for the longest time and know all my favorites are on this one CD. It is an awesome CD from the greatest band LIVE.

Love it!

I love almost all of the songs on this CD. It was my first time listening to this band. I had heard the All Over You song on the radio a couple of times, liked it and decided to see what the rest of the album sounds like.
To my surprize, I loved most of the songs, and it's not even my regular genre of music.

I'm having a hard time removing this CD from my player after 8 months....really, really, good stuff. I don't think the Johnny Cash cover was necessary though.

Just ain't what they used to be

While I don't actually own this particular CD, I do own most of Live's work, up to "V", where I finally gave up in exasperation. I'm so glad another reviewer mentioned two of my favorite songs, "Ghost" (which is actually entitled "Face and Ghost"), and "Voodoo Lady", which are unfortunately missing from this album. My favorite of all Live's albums was Secret Samadhi, then with "The Distance to Here", in my opinion, the downhill roll began, owing partially to the shift in the lyric-writing style, becoming more literal and nauseatingly earnest instead of being so chock-full of the poetic imagery that made Live so original and, well, deep. (I mean, does ANYONE else have lyrics like those in "Lakini's Juice": "I rushed the lady's room, took the water from the toilet, washed her feet and blessed her name"?) It's all but gone in Live's stinker, "Birds of Pray", which made me very sad, with lousy, school-kid lyrics such as those in that vapid song "Heaven": "I don't need nobody to tell me about god and truth, I look at my daughter, and I believe". (Well, good for you, junior, I thought when I first heard this tune, you went ahead and "found god and he was absolutely nothing like me".) All I have to say is, it's too bad they had to change. At one time, they were my favorite band. Now they stand among the ranks of those who coulda been contenders. Let's all shed a tear for Live and their wasted potential.
