Customer Reviews

An hour well spent
"The Definitive Collection" remains the best place for newcomers to sample The Mavericks, but this 2004 live album would make a really good introduction as well. And fans will certainly want to hear this almost flawless live album featuring a horn-augumented version of The Mavericks performing most of their best and best-known material.

It's not spliced together from various recordings; "Live In Austin, Texas" was recorded in one "take" on June 2, 2004 at Stubb's Bar-B-Q in Austin, and The Mavericks' eclectic blend of rock n' roll, country, latin folk and sophisticated pop works well in this live setting...a couple of songs, like "Siboney" and "San Jose", never really get off the ground, but most of what's here is very good indeed. It's hard to sit still to these swinging, energetic renditions of songs like "Dance The Night Away" and "There Goes My Heart", and while it would have been nice to hear "Things I Cannot Change" and "Here Comes My Baby", there is more than enough good stuff here to keep the listener interested.

Singer Raul Malo's golden pipes are in top form, and all music-lovers should be able find something to like on this 73-minute collection of The Mavericks' melodic country-rock.
I dare you to sit still to "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down"!

brilliant
What more can you say? A brilliant live album from a brilliant live band. I strongly recommend the dvd also. Raul Malo has a fantastic voice. No song is too difficult for him to sing. Musically they are flawless. I saw the band in Dublin a few years ago. I have been a Mavericks fan for nearly a decade and have no difficulty recommending this album. From the opening "Dance the night away" right through classics such as "Say a prayer", "I wanna know", "Because of you", "All you ever do is bring me down" and "I said I love you"; each song is as good as the last. The full concert is on the dvd. A great party album that will leave you feeling really good inside. For those of you who dont really know much about this band, buy this album, sit back and dance the night away.....
