1200 Curfews [Live]

Amazon.com essential recording
While many of these live tracks were culled from the Swamp Ophelia tour, the entire collection on this two-disc set covers a lot of territory in the Indigo Girls oeuvre. From the charming "Back Together Again" (recorded in Amy's basement in 1982) to the reverent cover of Joni Mitchell 's "River" (recorded live in Atlanta), these songs capture the energy and spirit of one of the most successful folk-rock duos in the history of contemporary music. Live renditions of favorites like "Closer to Fine," "Power of Two," "Strange Fire," "Land of Canaan," and "Galileo" bristle with passion, and the mandolin, cello, and percussion parts sparkle in concert. While they're right on with their rave-up of Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up in Blue," the one misstep is the lackluster performance on the 10-minute "Down by the River" by Neil Young. --Lorry Fleming

Amazon.com
Amy and Emily take a page from the Jackson Browne'sRunning on Empty notebook in compiling a fascinating melange of live tracks pulled from 12 different stages, dressing rooms, radio broadcasts, and a Hopi Indian reservation. For fans this is a gift, pure and simple, and even skeptics will be sucker-punched by the emotional power of the songs and performances. --Jeff Bateman

WOW!.......2007-06-17

This is an ALL TIME FAVORITE of mine! If you like the Indigo Girls...this is a MUST HAVE!!!! :)

Classic Indigo Girls.......2007-05-20

This is one of my favorite cd's... and I own A LOT!!! Great performances! They sound just as good or better live than their studio albums. I've had this 2-cd set for almost 10 years now and it is still in rotation on my cd changer!!

Let it all hang out.......2006-06-13

Long before there were the Dixie Chicks, there were the Indigo Girls, who could put on a stellar show. This double CD captures Amy Ray and Emily Saliers live, with a raucous blend of songs that combine social commentary with hard driving music. The Indigo Girls defied labeling, as they crossed over genres as well as bent gender interpretations of songs. They might be a little raw for some people's tastes, but if you are a fan it is pretty hard to pass on this CD, which seems to have best summed up their music to date.

THIS CD ROCKS!.......2005-09-25

This is easily the best CD I have in my entire collection. I just bought my second copy, as my first one has been worn from dragging it everywhere with me.

When you have to answer that "which CD would you bring on a deserted island with you?" question, you now have the answer!

It's great for singing out loud in the car!!

Outstanding.......2005-01-29

I love a good live album much more than anything put together in a studio but I'm normally sceptical of a "best of" live album that picks and chooses from a number of venues and dates. This release is definitely the exception and is a winner from start to finish. I could maybe do without the track from their early days (which has historical interest but is a definite flat spot) but every other song is a fantastic version of a stellar song. Higlights include an intimate "Power of two" and a thumpingly good "Tangled up in blue" which is my favourite version of this oft covered classic (if you haven't already, check out the Indigo girls guest performance on Joan Baez's "ring the bells". Their version of "Don't think twice" is a small slice of heaven).

Surely after a few years, some great albums and some greater concerts it's time this release had a follow up? A two disc live selection that picks up where this album left off would have me queing up ready to buy it on the release date.
