The Corrs are arguably one of the best live bands around. Even Bono of U2 said something along the lines of the Corrs being able to produce a hell of a lot of noise (good musical noise, that is) which maybe a lot of people wouldn't quite expect.
This album shows just how talented the Corrs are when it comes to playing music live, and also shows how adaptable they are. With their unique blend of rock, pop and traditional all included on this CD, it sure makes for interesting listening.
The CD starts off with two of the Corrs’ most recent hits, ‘Would You Be Happier?’ and ‘Breathless’ and with a little help from the Irish Film Orchestra these two opening tracks seem catchier that ever. 'Joy Of Life', a traditional Irish jig will get your foot a-tapping even if you tape it to the floor with sellotape. A few other familiar Corrs-own tracks are included along with covers of ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart’, by Neil Young and ‘Ruby Tuesday’ by the Rolling Stones which also features Ronnie Wood doing whatever he does with his guitar. Ronnie also plays on ‘Little Wing’, but his over-zealous guitar thrashing somewhat spoils the otherwise fantastic cover of the Jimi Hendrix classic.
The highlight of the album has to be, however, the two duets between Andrea and Bono on 'Summer Wine' written by Lee Hazlewood, and 'When The Stars Go Blue' by Ryan Adams. Bono’s distinctive voice and Andrea Corr's passionate vocals make the album worth buying for these two songs alone. There is so much chemistry going on between the pair that I was surprised that my stereo didn’t combust!
Although the price is quite heavy considering how few tracks there are, one thing to keep in mind is the rule quality not quantity. And what a quality album it is. Definitely worth the money and definitely worth the wait.

The Corrs never fail to please. Totally beautiful - and that's not just in appearance! We went to see them perform live during their 'Tour in Blue' and they were brilliant then. This CD does them justice. Andrea's vocals are as good as ever and the contributions of Bono and Ronnie Wood make this CD even more worth listening to. The version of 'Would You Be Happier' is also a highlight. A real must for all Corrs fans.

I first got to know The Corrs when I saw them in Manchester in 1996 as Celine Dion's support band and since then, I have took notice of what they've released but I have only recently got into them, as I have broadened my horizons as far as music is concerned.
Out of all their albums I have, which are this, Borrowed Heaven and their Greatest Hits, I think this is the best one. All of the songs are performed very well indeed and provide a refreshing combination of styles, from laid-back (Summer Wine) to something a bit more lively (Breathless). My favourite songs on the album are When The Stars Go Blue, Summer Wine, Ruby Tuesday and Breathless, although I don't dislike any of them to be honest.
For me, Andrea proves she has got enough strength in that sweet voice of hers to cope with live performing, while the rest of the band do a superb job with the instruments and Bono's contribution adds to the appeal as it is refreshing to hear him sing something different to what he does with U2.
This album is that enjoyable, it begs me to ask the one thing about it which I can't understand - why was it not officially released over here?

a must for Corrs fans
It's a mystery why this was not released in the UK. It is an essential purchase for any fan. They sound great live and it's the only way to get their great version of Ruby Tuesday. Read more

For my money worth having just for the last three tracks
My rule of thumb has always been that if I can find three songs I really want to hear on an album, then I will add that album to by 1000+ CD collection. Read more
