Amazon.com essential recording
While many of these live tracks were culled from the Swamp Ophelia tour, the entire collection on this two-disc set covers a lot of territory in the Indigo Girls oeuvre. From the charming "Back Together Again" (recorded in Amy's basement in 1982) to the reverent cover of Joni Mitchell 's "River" (recorded live in Atlanta), these songs capture the energy and spirit of one of the most successful folk-rock duos in the history of contemporary music. Live renditions of favorites like "Closer to Fine," "Power of Two," "Strange Fire," "Land of Canaan," and "Galileo" bristle with passion, and the mandolin, cello, and percussion parts sparkle in concert. While they're right on with their rave-up of Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up in Blue," the one misstep is the lackluster performance on the 10-minute "Down by the River" by Neil Young. --Lorry Fleming

Amazon.com
Amy and Emily take a page from the Jackson Browne'sRunning on Empty notebook in compiling a fascinating melange of live tracks pulled from 12 different stages, dressing rooms, radio broadcasts, and a Hopi Indian reservation. For fans this is a gift, pure and simple, and even skeptics will be sucker-punched by the emotional power of the songs and performances. --Jeff Bateman

Customer Reviews

Great CD
This CD has so many of the Indigo Girls best music. If you only have one CD of thiers, it should be this one.

Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
This is an essential facet of the Indigo Girls fan collection. While I'm not crazy about all of the cuts that made it onto the compilation, and I think there are other songs that better show their prowess as songwriters, this is a fantastic live release. It shows the spirit of their music and the path of their growth as musicians. The speaking inserts and the cuts demonstrating the interaction they have with their audiences are priceless.

WOW!
This is an ALL TIME FAVORITE of mine! If you like the Indigo Girls...this is a MUST HAVE!!!! :)
