Customer Reviews:
 THEIR WORST LIVE ALBUM September 2, 2008
cp0861 (Maryland)
if you want to hear a good O.A.R. live album, go buy Any Time Now.....34th and 8th is pretty good also.
This isn't worth owning in comparison to Any Time Now.....honestly.

Epitome of Good Live Album July 20, 2008
Johnnie Roost (Everywhere)
I loved this album. If you like live music - hearing artists do something a little different with the music/lyrics, and hearing an insane crowd sing along...then you should love this. Has great versions of Crazy Game of Poker, Love and Memories, and many others. Truly great.

Okay, listen, while i will admit, that no, this is NOT the very best album of OAR ever, it's not half bad. we all know their studio stuff lacks energy and sounds poor, at best. and i will also admit that Any Time Now, was probably the best, and Crazy Game of Poker on 34th and 8th is really awesome. but i believe those of you who review this horribly are some serious professional music critics, it doesnt lack energy or whatever. it's good, it's not an amazing album, but it's definitely on par with their style, and 52-50 is fantastic, i strongly suggest you listen to this over and over, as we have all with the previous albums... i find it to be more than an every once and a while album.

I think too many of the people who first heard them when they were just starting out are the ones who are not impressed with this live offering. As someone who was just turned on to their music in the past few years I have to say this cd is fantastic! I think Marc is an awesome front man and the addition of the keyboard jams are wonderful. I also love the additional lyrics on About an Hour Ago as well as Crazy Game of Poker. The whole cd rocks out but my favs are About an Hour Ago, Heard the World, Crazy Game of Poker and Anyway. To me, their older "live" cds are the ones that sound flat. This cd is full of energy and improvosation which is something sorely lacking in today's "musicians". As an avid Grateful Dead fan, it is heartening to hear music like this again. These guys have mad talent and it definitely shows on this cd. Buy it now!
