CD Reviews
Great Live Recording That Packs A Shem
Harry Hughes | London, England | 03/31/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
"It amazes me that someone would write a cd review from a concert
that they went to without having heard the cd. This is NOT the
same band that they heard in Toronto. It's true that David Pack is
no longer with the band, but this cd has the awesome vocals of Shem, who was not with them in Toronto. Shem makes all the difference in the world. This is a great opportunity to hear some
of their songs Live. There is an amazing version of Time Waits For No One on this cd. All in all this cd is surprising in how good it
is considering that David is not on it. This is a must for Ambrosia fans."

This cd is a must have for every Ambrosia fan. You will be

Ambrosia's latest and greatest!
Sarah Waters | Orange County, CA USA | 05/30/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"As one of the fortunate audience members of the concert now chronicled by the "Live at the Galaxy Theatre" release, the recording attests to the talent and ability of both the band and the producers, who proved more than capable of capturing the precision and energy of Ambrosia?s live performance. Classic favorites including "You?re the Only Women" and "How Much I Feel" couple a sense of nostalgia with an appreciation for the members? ever-increasing prowess; while the inclusion of new and unreleased tracks allows the album to defy the limitations associated with common "best of" compilations. Though Ambrosia may forever be synonymous with 70s and 80s rock celebrity, this release will likely usher in the latest resurgence of a band whose popularity and prestige have yet to wane. With the unique composition of tracks like "Nice, Nice" alongside the infectious melody of "Livin? On My Own," and the sweet sincerity of "In My Life,"this record will appeal to diverse musical audiences - becoming the capstone of an Ambrosia enthusiasts? collection or the perfect introduction for the newest Ambrosia fan. Ambrosia?s "Live at the Galaxy Theatre" comes with a recommendation as enthusiastic as the response of the crowd you?ll hear on the CD!"
Great Album!!! Best in Years!!!!

"I've been listening to Ambrosia albums for years, and this is the one I've been waiting for. It's about time they put out a live album. I was blown away and I think you will be too!!!!"
Worth It To Hear Drink Of Water Live
Alan Pike | San Francisco, CA | 10/09/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This first live CD by Ambrosia is wonderfully recorded. To hear
songs like Drink Of Water and Time Waits For No One live is a
dream come true. This is Ambrosia captured as they now sound in
2002 and it is amazing. It is a must have CD for all Ambrosia
fans even though David Pack is no longer with the band."
