 Torn in two - Mraz is great, the crowd is obnoxious September 10, 2004

While Mraz shines on this album the mixing is terrible. I am not impressed by the teeny-bopper screams that overlay most of the tracks and, in fact, find it incredibly annoying, particularly the amount of "sing along" you can hear on a few tracks. The cut tracks are a severe disappointment and seems to indicate a rush to get the cd out.
That aside, Mraz is a fab voice and comes across as a real talent especially on songs like Absolutely Zero and 1000 Things (if you can stand the screamers). Common Pleasure is a great pick for a live cd but, again, is nearly ruined by the Beatles-esque girly screaming (I mean, for the love of God, was he NAKED or handing out cash, or what?!). John Popper makes a great guest on Curbside Prophet - a real treat - proving that even an artist's hottest song has room to grow and breathe.
For my money, I would rather get a copy of his World Cafe interview with a nice quiet crowd, a fab rendition of The Remedy and, of course, David Dye's inquiring mind, or even better, get Waiting for My Rocket To Come and save the extra cash for a ticket to a real show.
 Completely fabulous April 24, 2005

I was tentative at first to purchase this CD/DVD set because I am generally not into live recordings. But my decision to get it was so right. Granted, playing the CD alone and hearing the crowds' screaming can be slightly annoying, but once I put the DVD in and watched the concert, I saw exactly why they were screaming. The lovely and engaging Jason is a totally amazing performer. He gives the audience his all and draws them into his world. The fact that he loves what he does is really obvious too. His ability to improvise and to experiment with different music styles is unbelievable. And his vocal range is out of this world. The song No Stopping Us displays this point perfectly.
The DVD shows the concert, some interesting little interviews in between each song, and there are also some funny extras that show that not only is Jason Mraz an incredibly talented guy, he is also funny and down to earth. The viewer gets an idea of what a day in the life of Jason is really like.
For anyone who already has and loves his studio CD Waiting For My Rocket To Come, I highly suggest you get this one too. There are a handful of songs on this recording that are not on his album. This live recording shows his true raw talent in a way that the restraints of a studio album recording never could. And to those of you considering delving into the world of Mraz for the first time, I do recommend this particular recording, but check out his studio album as well.
I can honestly say that this guy is my favorite performer and you just might feel the same way if you check out this CD.
Incredible experience - goosebump music!!! August 24, 2004

I pre-ordered this album and received it today. It is AWESOME. I have always thought that the studio album (Waiting for my Rocket to Come) didn't do Mraz's music justice - he is SO much better live. This album captures his unique live personality and incredible songwriting ability perfectly.
The production is great and the album has a very laid-back live sound - Stephen Marcussen did a great job mastering this album. The muso's are wonderful as well, and the improv bits are right up there with Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer concerts (no wonder Jason Mraz is touring with DMB this summer...).
In short, this album proves once again that rock is FAR from dead. Bland pop music has nothing on this type of music. No matter what your preferred style, you will have to search long and hard to find an album like this - an album that truly captures rock music's ability to encapsulate all that is FUN in music and the world!!
WOW! August 25, 2004

Wow! What a CD! I bought this CD today from Borders...I thought it came out next week so when I saw it I was very suprised. I have to start by saying the Jason Mraz is my 2nd favorite artist, behind DMB. After hearing this album, I can honestly say that, while DMB is awsome live, Jason is 10x better than DMB live. The version of "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)" is much, much better than it was on the album version. "1000 Things" is also much better. However, I will say that his first album, called "Jason Mraz Live at Java Joe's", which was an indipendent release, is still better than this. You can find that on eBay.
 Good, Not Great September 15, 2004

Jason Mraz, once described as "Jack Johnson on prozac," is truly one of the most talented of all the new generation of Dave Matthews wannabe, acoustic-guitar-toting, happy-go-lucky frat minstrels. Think of his voice as the male-version of Jewel, and you may have a starting point. Basically, he wails! That being said, his guitar playing is nothing special, and he even ventures into the electric realm of this album (which is a mistake). The electric lacks the percussiveness of the acoustic, which in terms of complexity, is the only thing that carries Mraz's guitar style. This album is a good starting point for anyone interested in Mraz's not-to-be-missed live show, but anyone who has seen him live knows he is capable of so much more. He sounds reserved on this album. Whether he was nervous (he knew it was being recorded to be released as an album), or whether going mainstream has toned him down is an area that will be argued among fans for years to come. Mraz is an incredible talent, and this album gives you a taste without offering you a full bite.
