My introduction to Celtus was through their appearance at last year's Fleadh in London, some time after which I purchased Moonchild, then Portrait, the first of which has rarely been off the CD player. The live album adds another dimension to the Celtus experience, taking familiar studio recordings and presenting them in an intimate way which shows the band at its best. Most of the tracks are remarkably faithful to their studio counterparts, with others ('We two are one' being a prime example) sounding both familiar yet different through their arrangement. It sounds as though many of the recordings were made in relatively small venues, which increases the feeling of intimacy (there's that word again) infusing the recordings. I'm seeing Celtus live in Southampton on March the 8th - if their show then is half as good as this collection, then it should be a rare treat.

Celtus are a terrific band to see live and their material really comes across well on a live recording. I particularly enjoy the nuances between the studio works and the live performances. Cathedral is a fine example of this; it still maintains all of its magnificence without the orchestration of the studio version and has a different ending, which concludes spectacularly on the live recording. For me, Live 2000 is like an extra souvenir of the wonderful concerts that I have been to. Certain songs remind me of the first time I have ever heard them on a paricular evening and brings back some of the thoughts and feelings of when I had first seen them performed. The version of Believe is a joy and Navigator and The Awakening are especially bouncy and cheery. Purple Diadem and Claddagh are no exception to this, they have mad excellent live recordings. Everything comes across tremendously - bliss for the ardent concert - goer like myself! Overall it is a superb selection of their work, so many favourites have been included. When I heard that this album was to be released, I hoped that Dear Irish Boy would be included, which it is as a bonus track - this is a truly breathtaking instrumental. I had never heard the other bonus track Don't Be Fooled before. Although very simple it has beautifully touching lyrics that grabbed me on the first hearing. This is a wonderful inclusion to the album - a gem. If you have enjoyed Moonchild and Portrait then you will enjoy this too. Likewise if you have not been lucky enough to see Celtus live then this is a prime example of what to expect. This is a great live album that I have enjoyed immensely and I shall continue to do so for a long time to come.

This Album is another brilliant CD to add to a superb collection. They are so talented and touch every person who hears their music. To see them Live is just pure heaven. A fan for life after going to a concert. This album brings back memories of Favourites slightly changed and new songs introduced. A must have.
