Subject: Great show

This is a great show, great recording, great vocals. If you really enjoy listening to Howie's vocals then this is a must-have show. Be There sounds very good here...

Subject: Great show!

Howie's voice sounds great here. He's in such a good mood. I loved how he changed up some of the songs. They sound great!! The sound quality is awesome, it sounds amazing on my surround sound system!

I'm sad though that Madrigal wasn't recorded all the way. I would have loved to hear it. I'm sure it would have been awesome!!

Subject: Brace Yourself...Brilliant

This is one of the best shows I've heard. The sound quality is AMAZING! I tend to listen mostly to the shows with great sound quality, even if I like a version of a song on a weaker recording better. Elana, I am so thrilled you taped this show.

As far as the set list goes, it seems short, mainly because it is made up of many covers. DaySay was fun and typical Howie. Great to hear the Australia joke revived.

Sorry so Sorry: Kicks off the set wonderfully and brings us back to the shows we enjoy most. Sorry to Madrigals with loops playing while he walks off.
Brace Yourself: It had me praying for a traffic jam while I was listening to it driving home from work last night. I love how he let the vocal from Sorry blend in for 30 seconds. The pace was much slower and his vocals are absolutely brilliant and beautiful. Howie sang it very differently, and I almost wish the song was rewritten this way. We'll probably never here it like this again, so thank god for this amazing recording. It was "intense" as Howie said.
Be There: Great to hear another solo version of this song.
Don't Dream it's Over: Beautiful solo cover
Morning After: I love when he does this outro
Live Again/Don't Panic: Sounded great, but it was strange not hearing them as outros for Brace Yourself.

I rate this show extremly high for his vocals, humor, and the sound quality. The lack of Howie Day songs in this set is the only disappointing factor, and well technical difficulties preventing Madrigals from being recorded. Still, this is a must have show.

the solo, pedaless version of live again is definetly worth it. It's beautiful
