ONE OF THE VERY BEST LIVE ALBUMS I HAVE EVER HEARD

"Hell, yeah! You just could not do a better live album.Assuming that you already like the material lets focuse on the live performance instead.The crowd is a vibrant participant all of the time, but they know when to shut up and let the music do the talking.The band sound vey tight and display large amounts of energy to the fans.Especially Ted Leonard, who talks in a relaxed manner with the audience and makes up for several amusing and funny moments like, for example, a bit when someone screams: YOU ROCK!! and Ted answers: WELL, THANK YOU SIR!

The performance is expertly recorded and yet you feel is REALLY LIVE so it reminds me of Blind Guardian Live album in that department.The amount of material is huge, but i have to say i really miss several songs! Like: King; The Lizard; Juggling Knives; Flat Line; and a LOT from the Tug Of War album.

Well, despite my criticisms i have to tell you: if you are a Enchant enthusiast..run to buy this live album! If you are new to this band start from whatever studio album you want.They are all great pieces of art.Live albums are NOT Greatest Hits, they are made for the converted, because it's LIVE(and therefore not totally polished) and many of the nuances in a song are missing and the crowd participation is also a distracting factor.

Highly recommended for Enchant fans! One of the best of the genre!

"Entiendo que este concierto, efectuado el 13 de marzo de 2004, capta en esencia de lo que es capaz de hacer ENCHANT en directo. Musicalmente, magestuosos. Influenciados en gran manera por RUSH, logran desarrollar un estilo propio con una lírica en sus canciones de corte critico social de gran profundidad. Le invito a escuchar MAE DAE seguida de AT DEATH'S DOOR o ACQUAINTANCE para luego deleitarse en una de las mejores canciones concebidas por la banda, MONDAY, donde el sentimiento, la buena lírica y la música resaltan y de que manera.Todas estas canciones están contenidas en el CD 1. El CD 2 es un poco más acústico y tan poco se queda atrás....especialmente, el cierre con OASIS, un despliege de habilidad díficil de igualar. Este es un trabajo que hay escucharlo en varias ocasiones para apreciar que estamos ante una obra excepcional.



First of all, this work should be listen about three times before you can consider it. This musical banquet was recorded last year in Oakland, ENCHANT homeland. ENCHANT sounds great at studio, but when they play live they put a very special feeling that only megabands like KARNATAKA or SYMPHONY X, in their own styles, can deliver. With a big influence of RUSH, ENCHANT has been capable to develop their own musical style. Exceptional music, great deep lyrics makes ENCHANT one of the best progressive groups today. Just listen to MAE DAE, followed by AT DEATH'S DOOR or ACQUATANCE or MONDAY, one of the best songs produced by this megagroup....simply incredible...This CD is a MUST....."

Enchant-live at last
