Summary: McKennitt ROCKS, WELL, SORT OF....
Comment: If it wasn't for my local library, I probably never would have taken a chance and purchased a LM cd. I very soon
after taking the cds back to the library purchased this version of LM LIVE. While i tend to lean towards Rock,
occasionally I will pick something up that there's been a buzz about, just to see if there's any merit to it. YES!!
I am hard pressed to compare this album to anything else, because, well I haven't heard anything like it. My
favorite live albums incl.: "Full House" by J. Geils, "Rockin' The Fillmore" by Humble Pie, "Mississippi Muddy Waters Live" and "The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads" . Live In Paris and Toronto is now in my pantheon
of live recordings. The music seeps into your very being and takes hold (I was online when I first heard this
album on my cd player and it just forced me to pay attention to it.
While often ethereal, at times it "rocks", for lack of a better term. All the musicians are exemplary and the sound
is heavenly.
The profits from this set go to The Cook-Rees Memorial Fund For Water Search And Safety.
The music is transcendent and magical. Open your heart and make a space.
This 2006 version comes in a double slimline jewel case. The 1999 version that I checked out at
my library came in the bulkier jewel case.
