"Anne Murray rock ? She certainly does on this one. The opening version of "Time Don't Run Out On Me" proves Anne still has what it takes to deliver a powerful pop song with great emotion. Her performances of " That's the Way Love Goes" and "Shame on Me" proves she can rock with the best of them-not to mention her irresistible duet with fellow Canadian Bryan Adams "What would it Take" . There are still sweet ballads included- "Somebody's always Saying Goodbye" is a good case and point and Jann Arden's performance of "Insensitive" with Anne on backing vocals is just perfect. This is an awesome live CD-Get it now...."
Awesome

"This is, quite possibly, the best live album I have ever heard. It is just like being at the concert. The only thing that this album lacks is about 20 tracks. I wish that it was longer. Other than that, you cannot go wrong."
WONDERFUL LIVE-RECORDING!

"Anne Murray can sing and record anything she wants because of
her great gifts and talent; everything from evergreens and
jazz-standards to pure country and rock.
This live-recording from Canada is truly great and she is also
brilliant doing small-talk between some numbers, the songs are
wonderfully arranged and Anne is just fantastic on all the songs
from this concert!
I will also warmly recommend this concert on DVD!"

"I received this CD about 2 years ago as part of a prize package on a phone-in contest on a local TV station. I'd never bought an Anne Murray record before, although of course, being a Canadian growing up in the 60's & 70's I couldn't help but be steeped in her songs.What great luck to receive this album! I absolutely love it! I listen to it on headphones at work, and never get tired of it. Anne's voice is wonderfully mature, and although slightly raspy (especially at the beginning of the concert), never degenerates into coarseness. Her straight delivery and measured phrasing let the beauty of the songs and the natural quality of her voice take the spotlight. The band and backing vocals are superb.The duet "What Would it Take" with Bryan Adams is my favourite (even though I don't like Bryan solo and always change the station when he comes on the radio). The slight gravel in Anne's voice works particularly well on this one. Who could have thought Canada's Songbird could rock like that?This CD would definitely rate 5 stars if, as previous reviewer pointed out, it had been issued as the complete concert special on a 2 CD set. As it is, a solid 4 stars and a great mellow listen anytime.Soul Music"
