Advantages: absolutely stunning Disadvantages: the ONLY one for me is not having 'over the rainbow' - but well worth buying another album
This has been my favourite album ever since I heard it, for the past 6 years - the only thing I would wish for that the album doesnt have is 'Over the rainbow' which is what I first heard from Eva, and was looking for an album with great reviews to buy which had that track on. However I bought the album nonetheless based on reviews I read and have never looked back - the album is addictive and I would highly recommend it with or without my favourite ... ...gets, delivered exceptionally, all the better for being completely LIVE. I would have loved to be in the audience when Eva was alive and singing this, the only sadness in the feeling after listening to this album is the sadness that such a beautiful soul and voice is no longer with us today - BUY it! ...

Advantages: a beautiful relaxing outstanding album Disadvantages: sadly departed a damn shame
...an amazing sounding lady, as live albums go this is one of my top choices, the songs are beautiful ,full of passion and soul, you cannot listen to this album without being touched by Eva's sublime voice.As female artists go Eva is my favorite, there is not one song on this album that i think "i'll fast forward this one". Her band do her a lot of justce as everything just fits together nicely.
For me the stand out tracks are "Stormy Monday" , "Tall ... ...Thread" , I like to listen to this with all the lights off and just sitting on the settee and just soak up the atmosphere. The only annoying thing on the album is the person who insists on tapping there glass whilst Eva sings tall trees in georgia,it must have been picked up by an atmos mic, i could slap whoever it was.
The whole feeling of the album just brings a nice sense of warmth and happiness to me it really is just outstanding.
