Mirrorball [Live]

Mirrorball [Live]

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording
Grafted from McLachlan's supremely satisfying 1998 performances, Mirrorball is drawn almost equally from the multiplatinum Surfacing and its superior predecessor, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. (Included also is the lovely, hard-to-come-by "I Will Remember You.") Live, a haunting ballad such as "Possession" becomes a fevered, aggressive bit of psychedelia. "Hold On" reveals new depths when performed behind the beat with morphing time signatures and driving piano. McLachlan's warmly expressive voice is still at the epicenter of her performances. She roams through these 14 songs with agile ease, riding the rails between singing for dramatic arena effect--huskily growling, airily trilling--and knowing what to play down with her sensually controlled crooning (witness such gems as Fumbling's title song and "Good Enough"). Overall, McLachlan's vocals match the heavily percussive intensity of her band and the build of her backing vocalists, producing a more spacious sound than the precise pitch rendered on her studio recordings. --Paige La Grone

5 out of 5 stars Great inspiring!.......2007-03-27

This CD is the type for me. I love dancing lyrical and the so "Do what you have to do". It's so inspiring to me and all the other songs as well. I can't wait for another CD like this to come out and hope I can meet you one day.

5 out of 5 stars Sarah is a gift.......2007-03-27

Sarah is a gift of love and
listening to her is a rich
and soulful blessing.
I definitely recommend that
you receive her gift and
often. An angel.

4 out of 5 stars Good, but incomplete........2006-10-24

This CD contains Sarah's most popular songs, but I recommend buying the Complete Concert version instead. It has nine more songs including a few from the Touch and Solace albums.

5 out of 5 stars Great recording!!.......2006-07-11

Many people (such as myself) often judge an artist by their ability to perform their own works live and Sarah McLachlan doesn't disappoint. Her voice is beautiful throughout and there's just enough crowd noise and interaction to get the "feel" of being live without getting bored with it. While I would have preferred the track list that the DVD has, I was very pleased with the quantity and quality of her selections as well as the performances themselves. If there's one song I really wish was included, it would be Ben's Song, but aside from that, you get a great overview of her great career prior to Afterglow. It has everything from uptempo Sweet Surrender and Vox to slower tracks like Angel and I Love You and even includes the fun duet with her husband and drummer Ashwin Sood "Ice Cream" though in the future he should probably stick to drumming. :)

Mirrorball ranks as one of the best albums in my collection and for a live album that's saying a lot. It is also my first choice for anyone who asks, "I want a friend to hear her stuff but I know know what I should suggest".

5 out of 5 stars Near Perfect Live-Album!.......2006-07-05

Though I'm usually not particularly fond of live-albums, this great album may very well be my favourite by Sarah McLachlan. It seems to me it has it all. Great vocals, a terrific band and some of McLachlan's very best songs; moreover the sound is as close to perfect you can expect from a live-album.

The opening song "Building a Mystery" I first heard when someone played the "Lillith Fair" dvd for me. This was the song that opened my eyes and ears for McLachlan and her music.

Among other outstanding songs "Hold on", "I Will Remember You", "Aidia" and the early song "Path of Thorns" deserve a mention. Great to hear the audience sing along on the live-favourite "Ice Cream"!

5 out of 5 stars superlative.......2007-01-13

This collection came into my hands as a boxed set. While I had heard some of the songs before, there was a new twist to some of them and the live performances make it interesting for the listener. Building a mystery, Vox, Aida, Into the fire,Angel, all the favorites with new interpretations.
You wont be disappointed, if you add this to your collection, it will see a lot of playtime..

5 out of 5 stars Viewing Sarah through the Mirrorball.......2007-01-05

Sarah is one of my all time favorites. We already had the first Mirrorball c.d. and were skeptial about buying this one. She had some additional songs on this version and honestly it's been a great addition to our collection!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome live album!.......2006-11-25

I love Sarah's live performance and I realy recommend this album the sound quality is just amazing, buy this remastered and complete version of Mirrorball live.

5 out of 5 stars Sarah Fan? - Buy this Now..........2006-11-18

I wasn't a Sarah fan in 1999 when the "Mirrorball" tour came through my backyard, where "Mirrorball" was recorded live, at Portland Oregon's Rose Garden. But I had become a fan, and was at her show, when she came through with the "AfterGlow" tour. By the time "AfterGlow" was out, I had just discovered the original Mirrorball CD and DVD, and up until the release of this 2-CD set, the original "Mirrorball" live CD and DVD were my "most played" CD and DVD of my whole 700+ various artist collection. But even before finishing the first CD of this 2 CD set, I know that I had to have another copy for the car. Sarah Fan? You must buy this now. I promise you won't be disappointed. It is the full show, with all of her interactions with the crowd, and the sound is better than either of the previously released Mirrorball CD and DVD titles. I love live music, and this set is a dream come true. Sarah is a true performer "live", and I think is actually at her best when performing "live". Absolutely amazing recording and performance on this newly released 2-CD Full Concert Live set. And if you get a chance to see her perform, pay whatever it costs to see her show.

5 out of 5 stars Must have for Sarah fans..........2006-11-10

I, like other reviewers, stumbled upon this release with absolute joy. (As far as I know, there has been virtually no promotion for this 2 CD set.) I immediately bought it, went home, and listened to the whole thing. And I was not disappointed.

The set is packaged nicely with two CD's, about two hours' worth of music. The set always comes with a nice booklet with beautiful pictures of Sarah during the Mirrorball tour, and it also includes the lyrics to all of the included songs, which is a nice bonus one usually doesn't see in a concert release.

As usual, Sarah's voice is stunning. In fact, most of the songs in this set completely eclipse the studio versions ("Hold On" comes to mind first). There are not many live concert CDs I will actually buy, simply because not every musician sounds good live, but Sarah is an exception by all means.

It's extremely nice to now have the complete concert with all 23 tracks. This set is definitely worth the price of admission. For Sarah fans, this is now an essential piece in your music collection, and even casual Sarah listeners will highly enjoy this concert (my mom loved it!).

As one reviewer previously mentioned, most of the tracks are "seamed" together, and I too wish (though it's a completely personal thing) they would have gone for a non-seamed approach to this set (most of the songs sort of just blend into the next), but please note that you do get to hear Sarah interact with the audience and share her insights on a few songs on several occasions throughout the two CDs.

All in all, get your hands on this as soon as you can; it'll blow your mind away!

        4 out of 5 stars Finally !.......2000-05-16

        It's time to do something with the great music of this female trio "The Three Degrees" ! They had several fantastic tunes in the '70 '80. So artists and producers: make (maybe big) hits out of them. "WE WANT MORE"

        5 out of 5 stars It's a great come for this jam remix. I have the 12" version.......1999-05-11

        I'm from the old school. Spinning the old lp's and cd's. It's great to listen to some old tunes and give it a Y2K favour. As I could recall that was The Three Degrees in Give it Up. Back late 76 early 1977.

        It's the hype!!!!
