Didn't make me more of a fan.......2005-08-23

I'm a casual listener, not a great fan, of Sheryl Crow. But the great Amazon recommendations service keeps recommending her music to me based on my past purchases or browsing. So I thought I'd take a look. After surfing around the Crow catalog awhile, I decided that if I was going to get one Sheryl Crow album, this would be it.

I've listened to this CD several times at work now, and I think: It's OK. Not great, not going to make me over into a huge fan, not revealing new aspects of her work. My original conclusion was on the mark: I could have done without a Sheryl Crow CD, but if I wanted to get one, this was a fine choice.

As good as advertised.......2003-10-21

Save yourself the time of reading through all these reviews and buy the CD! I rolled the dice, paid for what seemed like the same collection of songs with the 2 new classics ("Soak Up the Sun" and "Steve McQueen") along with my least favorite tracks from "C'mon C'mon". This CD rocks even better than "Live From Central Park". Sound quality is exceptional. Kind of embarrasing that the Tokyo crowd was absolutely dead. Sheryl was dead on. Every song is extended with cutting riffs and one of the highlights is her inclusion of the Who's "Can't Explain" (I won't tell you where). A little disappointing that "Safe and Sound", "You're an Original" and "Leaving Las Vegas" didn't make it, but hey, this one's still worth every penny.

If you're a Sheryl fan, this one should not be missing from your collection.

Sheryl does it again!.......2003-10-12

What a great recording! Sheryl is always great, but this is an outstanding live recording that really shows her more recent style. The opening is a full tilt version of "Steve McQueen" and the versions of "Home" and "Strong Enough" are the best that I've heard! Like others I only wish that some other of her favorites were included. Don't let the price drive you away! It is well worth it!

Far better than _Central Park_, essential for Sheryl fans.......2003-08-17

There really is no comparison between the fairly muddy recording of the backing band in Central Park and the crisp, defined sound captured on _Live at Budokan_, by tour engineer Bruce Knight and a recording staff provided at a local Tokyo studio. The main beneficiaries are Tim Smith's amplified-acoustic rhythm parts and Jim Bogios' drums, and in particular the drums receive excellent definition where they had sounded as dull thuds and crashes previously. The balance between Sheryl's vocals, the backing vocals of the guitarists and the drummer and the instruments as a whole is superb, as good as any studio recording I have heard.

More subjectively, this captures a well-rehearsed, energetic band at peak performance and in command of a broad rock vocabulary. "A Change Would Do You Good" sounds progressively better since its studio release, the best performance on _Live in Central Park_ and the hands-down rocker of the show at Budokan. As an inside joke for fans of hers who share her Sixties favorites, the song begins as a faithful if transposed nod to the Who's "I Can See for Miles" - perfect, now that I've heard it - and ends with one verse and chorus of "I Can't Explain." The band nails it, especially Bogios' simon-pure reproduction of Keith Moon's work and Sheryl's perfect, snarling evocation of Roger Daltrey. The slower songs in her catalog hit just as hard as the rockers, and this marks the first time "Home," probably her most sadly beautiful song, appears in a live recording available on CD (you'd have to buy her 1999 DVD before now).

However, I hope this is the second and last time "Strong Enough" appears on one of her live albums. I skip that track almost as quickly as "Closer to the Heart" on any Rush live album - it's on every last damn one of them, and it wore out its welcome on the studio release.

In short, _Live at Budokan_ is her best live album of the two released, and has her best performances bar none of the Lilith Fair stuff, the DVD, or other collaborations I have heard. While it doesn't capture all of her strongest songs in one album, no one CD could, and it comes closer than any album produced yet to summarizing her appeal as a live performer. It would also be an excellent buy for someone who wants a best-of compilation, until her label releases one.

Crank It Up!!!.......2003-08-01

Sheryl's live CD rocks! I saw her on her last tour and was blown away. From the opening with "Steve McQueen" to the surprise tribute to the late, great John Entwhistle with "I Can't Explain" to the rockin' "There's Goes the Neighborhood", it's one non-stop rock blow out. Plus the sound quality is incredible. Buy this one and crank it up!!!!
