 |  | Great quality sound for a live CD |  |
Okay so I dont usually buy live CD's due to the fact that the sound often sucks, or that the audience cheering/shouting etc. etc gets in the way of the actual music. Not so in this case. I was really impressed by the clarity and quality of the music on this CD, but that might be a bit biased because dredg is easily my favourite band of all time. Ive listened to this CD so many times and the tracks Sang Real, Same Ol' Road and the closing songs Yatahazee and 90 Hr Sleep are definite standouts. It was also nice to hear otherwise unreleased music with Stone by Stone and a short intro, The Warbler.
This CD very much focuses on the songs itself and the tracks cut off after each song to skip to the next one. This isn't such annoyance though. I recommend this CD to anyone who values quality live recordings and awesome music from an awesome band;) Next thing dredg need to do is release a live DVD!
January 10, 2008I was at this show, and I still listen to this album over and over.
August 23, 2007 | | New track and greatest hits format not enough to reach the level of their studio albums | |
I don't like live albums. So I'm biased here. Dredg is my favorite band, moreso even than Tool. And even with a new track or two on this album, it didn't reach me on the same level as their studio albums. I've seen Dredg live in concert and it was a great experience, so I would still recommend seeing them live. If you're a newcomer who is looking to get into dredg, I'd recommend buying their studio albums, probably El Cielo fist, then Leitmotif, and Catch Without Arms. As for hardcore fans, I still wouldn't recommend this album unless you love live albums or you can't get the track "Stone by Stone" anywhere else. Dredg is the best, and this is a great compilation of their most rockin' tunes for only $9.99, but I'd say stick with the studio albums.

dredg have so much energy live that it is unbelievable. This live CD is over 70 minutes long, and has a setlist to die for, including some previously unreleased tracks like The Warbler and Stone By Stone. The only song I would have liked to see would be Matroshka, but that doesn't stop this from being a 5-star album. Highly recommended for dredg fans; a worthy purchase either way.
May 19, 2007Dredg is among a large group of under-appreciated art-musicians who offer the music scene a unique style and message. Though beautiful and provocative, the band's sound can often seem almost inaccessible upon first impression.
"Live at the Fillmore" is a great introduction into the depth of the music that this band has to offer. With the raw energy of their debut "Leitmotif," the artistic graces of "El Cielo," and the pleasant, main-stream approximations of "Catch Without Arms," this album is guaranteed to interest, stimulate, and impress listeners from a wide range of musical tastes and backgrounds.
