(2 stars) - A contractual obligation
Sunny Day Real Estate
Live; 1999
Sub Pop Records

My Rating: 4/10

This was a "contractual obligations" album I guess, released by Sub Pop after the band jumped ship post-HOW IT FEELS. The performances themselves are muscular enough I suppose, but as far as live albums go, the recording and production are pretty flat. The one highlight is the closer, "Days Were Golden," magnificently executed live. Other than that, would it have hurt to fill all 80 minutes of the plastic disc with music? Surely SDRE was playing more than 11-song sets on their first reunion tour. For fanatics only...

(5 stars) - I attended this show...
Jeremy had an amazing clarity to his voice. He could be heard in the balcony all of the way around the top of the theater. His passion shines through when you see his face as he performs live. This cd is a pure masterpiece!

(4 stars) - Sunny Day Revisited
First, I think this is a great album. I love the live quality of this recording because it makes me feel like I was there somewhere in the back of the room. It has this bass-heavy growling that you get in an old theater (and surprise it was recorded in an old theater).

I love the way the guitars sound; gritty and real like they come from an amplifier similar to one I own.

I'm more of an early SDRE fan, but I feel that this record helped me get into post-Pink record songs a little more. For example, Guitars & Video Games was not a song I really appreciated until I heard this.

Also if you're a little burned out on In Circles, the version on this Live album rocks.

Finally, if you were a big Sunny Day Real Estate fan and haven't listened to them in a while, this record will help you rediscover them.

(4 stars) - SDRE Live CD
This cd is great. I never heard of SDRE before I heard it from a friend THIS album from a friend and it sounded pretty good. Picked up a copy, and it's amazing.
