With its Page Avenue debut album near platinum and the studio followup due in late summer, Story of the Year writes its second chapter with the concert album-plus-DVD Live in the Lou. Along with the best of two November 2004 concerts in hometown St. Louis on both the CD and DVD, Live in the Lou expands the DVD with videos and documentary footage from past to present and wacky backstage film of life on the road for one of modern rock's fastest-rising bands.

I recommend this to any Story of the Year fan to get this CD/DVD combo
A quick, simple view of Live in the Lou/Bassassins.........2005-12-04
While their tremendous energy is a constant, I can't honestly say that I feel as if Live in the Lou is exemplary of their ability to play a live show. Their musical performance in LitL seems to lack a measure of togetherness, does not feel very solid most of the time, and the lead vocals are noticeably out of tune for a decent amount of the show. However, when the playing is tight and the vocals are in tune, it is definitely a lot easier on the ears.
The documentary portion of the DVD will probably provide amusement for elite Story of the Year fans, but while I find myself laughing at a few things here and there (and I consider myself to be a big fan), it tends to bog down somewhat and get silly and...odd (euphemism alert) for me. The extra AOL live sessions included are a welcome addition to the DVD and for me, are actually among the most enjoyable and well done segments on the DVD.
If this is a fan's first exposure to a live SotY show, I'd be willing to give it a 50/50 shot that they'll come away with a smile on their face, but would recommend that they actually see them in the flesh. I'm not so sure about that 50/50 shot if you've seen them before or are accustomed to frequent live performances, but I'd urge you to give it a go and come to your own conclusion. While this isn't the nicest live show I've seen, I do enjoy having a live CD/DVD of Story of the Year. What you make of it is ultimately up to you.
Awesome video, great audio.......2005-08-15
True Story Of The Year Fans REJOICE!.......2005-07-30
Best Live Show?.......2005-07-28
HOWEVER, it is a cardinal sin in rock music to PUT DOWN YOUR GUITAR SO YOU CAN DO A BACKHANDSPRING ACROSS STAGE! You are a musician, not an acrobat. If you can do all this stuff while playing or during a break in the song, go for it. Otherwise, play your damned instrument.
Another thing....having a set group of moves to do during a show reeks of choreography...whatever happened to the spontaneous rocking out jumps?
For a five star live dvd/disc, pick up Coheed and Cambria's "Live at the Starland Ballroom". Much better than this, which is average at best.
