Bouncing off the walls
I had never seen Soulive before this show. I went to it with some friends from out of town. Just to let ya'll know, I found it tough to see what was happening onstage, due to the crazy (crowded) atmosphere, and the fact that my pupils were bouncing off the walls to boot. During most of the show, you could feel the balcony bouncing under the weight of so many dancing maniacs. The music was incredible. Although not a great sound quality here, I'm glad I can now recollect some of the show that had been "browned out", due to a very long weekend.

Nice show, great guests...
Decent sounding show with some spectacular playing from John Scofield Karl Denson and Fred Wesley. To my ears, there are better sounding shows out there (7/1/04 & 7/15/04, for example), but none have this stellar line-up!

Soulive vs MMW??
it's the second show of Soulive i grabbed from LMA and i must say i'm suprised by the content. it's a brilliant show in comparison to 2001-02-04. they improved a lot and their music really has a drive! scofield guitar is awesome, so are the horns. i didn't like them because of this "old school" funk but now i think this music really makes sense. they're close to Maceo Parker and James Brown and can compete with
e.g MMW. they simply have their own style and sound. great show. the sound quality is unfortunately decent, but the whole thing is still worth the download.

great
Others have commented on the sound, I never noticed any problems myself.
This is an awesome show, I suspect that in person would have been insane. Great guests that play very well with the band.
If you are looking for some horns, look no further

Right on time
The boys were on their game starting off with the smokin duo of El Ron and Alladin and ending strong with a Maceo jam while mixing it up with some all-star guests. It still amazes me how well the three blend together even with others in the mix. Sound quality is decent and well worth the download.

The sound is not excelent!
The horns are bright with the other instruments to quiet! I still enjoy the performance though.

good stuff! and scofield!
i love the first set of this show because scofield shows up...awesome. the horn stuff is cool too and i wouldn't say that the sound is terrible, but i like hearing just soulive as a trio better (although you just can't beat them playing with sco!)
i'd give it 4.5 if i could - get this one

Nice
This is a really good show with superb sound quality. Soulive was really on and the guest appearances were great- denson on sax, scoffield on guitar.

good show.
hey.
this show is pretty hot. some of the better soulive with extra hands, but the recording does reveal the limitations of onstage recording this band these days. it just doesn't mix well with so many artists on stage. distant, muddy, yes sometimes. it's probably the best recording that was made though, if not the only one. get a copy somewhere if not here. hasta.

Sick show!
Get this show. The sound quality is excellent(it is definitely not muddy or distant), and the quality of the music itself is amaaaaazing. I saw soulive a few years back, and i somehow forgot how good they really are! Please do yourself a favor and download this show!

Muddy and Distant?
I'm not quite sure what the previous reviewer is talking about by saying this recording is muddy and distant. Yes i made this recording and can certainly admit when i make a subpar tape but this is not one of them. If anyone wants to hear a sick show that sounds amazing download this! To the person that thinks this tape is muddy and distant.. If u live in the LA area, get in touch, i have the number of a great Ear doctor. heh

Slightly Disagree
This is a great show as far as content, however, the sound quality is slightly "distant" and muddy.
