The Ultimate Big Country

Christopher R. Cicatelli | bethesda, md | 11/13/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"i have finally found the best live album ever recorded. Live Without The Aid of a Safety Net is simply amazing... evenly divided between acoustic and electric, the song selection is superb...reaching back to the glory days with an amazing acoustic rendition of Chance (The Crossing) to an unforgettable version of Steeltown (Steeltown)....to an explosive Look Away (The Seer). I'm tellin' you....everything on this album is fantastic...the crowd favorites are there, the full onslaught of Big Country sound is there, the subtle, powerful acoustic sets... You will not go wrong with this...Big Country fans of old, and Big Country fans of new alike....this is the CD that holds the key to the ultimate Big Country experience....go ahead listen to the samples before you buy it, but i'm tellin ya, this CD has not been out of my CD player since i got it...just wait until you hear "Just A Shadow"...amazing. Five stars? yeah right, try a "thousand stars"..."

Best live album of the 1990s

"To find a recorded live performance by a rock band so equally fiery & visionary you have to go back to The Who's 1970 release, Live at Leeds. Big Country fuses it all: bluegrass, punk rock, new wave, traditional British rock, African and reggae rhythms, American blues, Celtic imagery. Don't miss this one -- half acoustic, the second half plugged in, all their greatest songs performed on their home turf at the Barrowlands, Glasgow, December of 1993."
