Hall and Oates. Steely Dan. Asia. These are just some of the artists that no doubt eat up excessive gigabytes on Phoenix's iPods. Which is not only unusual for a French group that counts sophisticates like Sofia Coppola and Air among its associates but also a French group whose members are all well under the age of 60. On its first live album, the affliction comes into full light. Slick soul grooves and breezy choruses slither through the band's best songs like "Everything Is Everything" and "If I Ever Feel Better," while a version of "Too Young" - from the "Lost In Translation" soundtrack - sounds doubly invigorating. A bit looser than the quartet's studio recordings and peppered with rabid audience cheers, this is exactly the kind of disc that could lure unsuspecting people with taste down the path of mustaches and satin jackets. The scoundrels. -- Aidin Vaziri

Customer Reviews

A must for any Phoenix fan
I just saw Phoenix live, and though the CD comes second to their energetic and spirited performance, it is still a great souvenier to have. For those who have missed out on Phoenix live, this is the next best thing, especially on tracks like "I'm An Actor" and "If I Ever Feel Better". Great band, it will be interesting to see what direction they go in.

I love Phoenix
I have been a Phoenix fan for a while, I have all their studio albums and seen them live twice. It was excellent to finally get a copy of their live recording. The quality of the recording is great, although there seems to be a lack of cohesion between the tracks, because most of them are recorded from different shows. All in all, the songs are great, especially the updated Run Run Run, Funky Squaredance and If I Ever Feel Better.

A good live album.

A bare bones live album for medium to hardcore fans
"Live: 30 days ago" is literally just a recording of the band performing their songs live. It doesn't have a cool insert, a DVD section, new songs, remixes, or anything like that. It's a bare bones live album. I would only recommend this album for medium to hardcore fans of Phoenix. But, I think EVERYONE should pick up "United" and "Alphabetical."
