BADDDD This review can be found at http://www.sonicnet.com/albums/rev.jhtml?cid=570127 Grr, whooever this reviewer is, she takes a few stabs at SHeryl... Pierre David It's True — She Really Is Better Live With Chrissie Hynde, Stevie Nicks, the Dixie Chicks and others. By Julene Snyder It must be an amazing rush to play Central Park, and judging by her ebullience here, Sheryl Crow enjoyed every second of it. Recorded in September at a show that was partially broadcast live on VH1, the album clocks in at just under 75 minutes. That's a generous length, and may be nearly enough to satisfy both Crow's fans and those of Crow's "friends" who shared the stage. The show opens with "Everyday is a Winding Road" (RealAudio excerpt), and a lyrical entreaty to "Jump in, let's go, lay back, enjoy the show." And we do. Truth is, I've never seen what all the Sheryl Crow fuss is about, but it turns out that there is something to her fans' insistence that listening to her albums isn't nearly as satisfying as seeing Crow live. When Chrissie Hynde joins in on "If It Makes You Happy" it's clear that Hynde's passionate growl could blow Crow offstage. The singer/ songwriter easily interacts with the crowd, teasing during "Leaving Las Vegas" with: "So guess what, I'm playing in Central Park tonight, and I've got some special friends that are gonna come out later. You can be patient, right?" There isn't long to wait, actually, because the Dixie Chicks join in for the very next song, "Strong Enough," lending some twang and tang to the proceedings. The new song "It Don't Hurt" (RealAudio excerpt) is introduced this way by Crow: "It's about getting over somebody and all the stupid shit you do to get over them." While Crow's whole band respectably conducts itself here, violinist Mary Rowell deserves special mention for her lovely playing. While Crow mega-hits "A Change Would Do You Good" and "All I Wanna Do" are obvious crowd-pleasers, the audience goes ballistic when Stevie Nicks comes out to sing lead on "Gold Dust Woman" (RealAudio excerpt). When Chrissie Hynde joins in on "If It Makes You Happy" it's clear that Hynde's passionate growl could blow Crow offstage, but instead the two trade verses. Keith Richards pops in to offer up "Happy," alternating verses with Crow while Hynde sings backup. Eric Clapton's turn onstage featured Cream's "White Room" and Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but sadly, only the former is included on this recording. The album closes with the obligatory all-star jam, Dylan's "Tombstone Blues," with all of the players taking a stab at vocals. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Dec 1999 20:57:20 -0500 From: "F.

I have never checked the status on that and actually seen it in stock. Because it is so expensive of an item, I think they only special order it, and don't actually try to keep any available stock of it. It's worth it, though, because it is great (which you already partially know if you have any of the Shepherd's Bush 1996 stuff on CDs). Regards, F.

Sorry, but I was so excited, I've only heard it on my crappy work PC (forgot where I got it from so i cant download it at home:( It is such a cool song, i'm not just saying that cos its Sheryl - i thnk Blue Christmas is so-so only (the song, not the singing). I think I'm becoming an Eric Calpton fan - he plays the guitar soooo beautifully. :) I guess this is a long shot, but does anyone know if i can get the song MCB on CD (apart from the christmas songs compilation - i hate Christmas songs, Dec is the only month I fear listening to the radio.) ------------------------------ End of sheryl-crew-digest V2 #432 *********************************
