Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
A-ha co-founder Pal Waaktar once raised some bemused eyebrows when he claimed his band was more "rock and roll" than Def Leppard. Indeed, those only familiar with the Norway-rooted/London-based band's lightweight mid-'80s MTV synth-pop staples "Take On Me" and Bond film theme "The Living Daylights" might be surprised at the sometimes muscular, often guitar-driven band showcased in this double-disc live career retrospective. Recorded at dates for the band's 2002 European tour, it stands as a compelling reintroduction to a band that created some of its most interesting music long after its initial burst of MTV-fueled fame. Indeed, the mature dynamics and well-crafted drama of songs like "Crying in the Rain," "Stay on These Roads, " "Time and Again," and "Hunting High and Low" (the latter with an audience sing-along that emphasizes the band's continued Euro following) stand in sharp contrast to their unfortunate flyweight pop stereotype. --Jerry McCulley

"the Process, from When the Tour was Over, to Listening to the Tracks, and Then to the Final Mix, was Very Quick," Magne Comments.

The Album Surely Shows that also a Pop Band Can Rock the Place! it features all of A-ha's Hits Updated from their Original Recordings...and Morten's Voice is Still as Crystal Clear and Strong as Ever.

An immensely satisfying listening experience.......2007-06-20

It's a pity one cannot listen to samples of this music! I bought this CD on blind faith, and do.not.regret.it at.all.

I got this in the mail yesterday, and like most folks do when they get new music, immediately put in the player for it's first spin. I loved it. This morning, when I had the house to myself, I played it again, cranked up the volume a bit and was blown away.

The sound quality on this recording is incredible. If I close my eyes, I can almost believe I'm right there at the live venues. The music rocks, the sound resonates in the room, Morten's voice soars.

Do you enjoy a-ha's studio recordings, do you adore Morten's voice? Then get this, it's studio recording x infinity. It will transport you.

did you have it yet?.......2003-05-30

it's the best alboum i know and i know meny...go and bay it!!!...

Now hear these songs live!.......2005-06-30

a-ha will play their first U.S. concert since October 1986 on Sept. 12, 2005 at Irving Plaza, New York City. It's been along time coming and you'll get the chance to hear the live album tracks... well, live! This show will surely help re-acquaint the U.S. market to this fantastic band! This live album is well produced and recorded, crowd noise is at a minimum but boosted just at the right moments for full concert effect. Vocally, you're not going to get a better performance than from Morten Harket's voice like an angel. See you at the show!

The best a-ha album ever--Experience the real thing in 2005!.......2004-06-09

I am a huge fan of a-ha from way back... I have loved everything that they have ever produced and honestly, this is their best album to date! Not to say that it is their best work of all time... but as far as a complete album with every song being exceptional and as far as the flow from one song to the next goes, it is definitely the best album to date. A-ha's live sound is unbeatable! Morten's voice is so interesting to listen to and I love the emphasis on the guitar rather than the synthesizer. My only complaint about this album is that it does not include some of my very favorite a-ha songs "Dark is the Night", "Angel in the Snow", "Velvet", "Memorial Beach", and "Turn the Lights Down". On the bright side, it has a long list of excellent songs that you have to hear. I LOVE the live version of "Sycamore Leaves" performed by Pal and Magne's song "Dragonfly" is excellent as well (much better than the version on the lifelines album). "Time and Again" is breathtakingly beautiful and "Minor Earth Major Sky" really rocks. I can't even choose a favorite song from the list. I do have to admit that I am not a huge fan of the songs "Cry Wolf" or "Oranges on Appletrees", but even these songs don't sound bad on this album. The Live version of Oranges has a cool section in the middle of it that isn't on the Lifelines album and redeems the song. Also, the version of "Cry Wolf" is the first version I have ever listened to without cringing... The compilation maintains a high-paced energy which is a delight to listen too. With a-ha I am torn between my love for their stunning ballads and their heavier-guitar rock sound.
Also, as an FYI, I read recently that A-ha signed a 3-record deal with UNIVERSAL and have plans to release the albums world-wide and launch the album with a world tour in 2005. If this is true, then we can all experience their spectacular live sound first hand! I hope that the US gets a chance to hear what they've been missing. Even though I LOVE "Take on Me" and "The Sun Always shines on TV", these songs are not why a-ha is my favorite band. With this album, you can get a feel for what this band is capable of. I love the fact that their sound is constantly changing as they experiment with new techniques and styles. I have the 8 released a-ha albums and all solo albums from the three norwegians and am surprised at how different their work is from one another. They are each so very talented and have to much to offer individually... together they are unbeatable! This album is fantastic--get it and you will discover just the tip of what this band is capable of. If you are interested, pick up some of Morten's solo work, which pushes you even further into a whole new musical realm. Initially, I thought that because Pal wrote the majority of a-ha's songs and lyrics, that his solo work would have the most depth. Morten's solo work by far exceeds Pal's band Savoy. Morten is an excellent musician and wrote all the songs for his solo efforts in Vogts Villa and Wild Seed. I do think that he should get rid of his lyricist, Havard Rem. Havard isn't bad, but I think that Morten could find better. But who needs lyrics with such fantastic music? And it would be difficult to find a better singer than Morten!

A-HA Not Forgotten-- What at CD!.......2003-11-15

I hate that a-ha gave up on America. I have always been a so-so fan of a-ha and had their less memorable music. My interest was peaked again when I was in Germany and saw a poster for a concert in which a-ha was playing with several other 80's bands. No one can deny that Morten has one of the best voices in msuic today and yesterday. This is the best live album/CD I have heard in a long time and it makes me sad I will never see them in concert. America is really missing a great band. A-HA deserves more credit for the songwriting and performance than many critics give them. Thank God for the internet or I would never have had access to a wonderful CD.

I'll show you scrap your PC!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-11-12

Its a great CD to play in any PC while you work, and also an excellent CD to rip and share on the internet to show people that you care... SHARING IS CARING FOLKS!!!!!!!!!

This band deserves our attention........2003-10-20

I remember seeing this band in 85 in Concord,Ca. I was broke. I sold a bunch of records to buy a ticket. I had just enough money for the train to the venue and a Norwegian soldier gave me the quarter for the bus. He told me that this band had to be seen to be appreciated because they were being labeled as a kind of teen idol band and they might not survive the label. I was floored by the show. I became an AF pilot and was absolutely the only person I knew of that was an A-ha fan. I bought every record and found something to like about them all. I was ribbed mercilessly by my fellow fliers when it was discovered that I had A-ha records. I took many of them to see the band while in Europe and they also became fans. This live CD illustrates what this band is. Just fabulous musicians, songwriters and performers. Its as simple as that. America needs to open its mind and lift this band to its rightful place among serious musicians. Minor Earth, Major Sky is one of the best songs I have heard in at least a decade and it is performed superbly. I'd buy the disc just for that one track but it just so happens that the others are great songs so that would make this one a steal. Run...don't walk to get this one.
