Well, the frustration has finally got to me re: still no freakin Aussie release.

After reading all the comments here I finally caved in and checked out a couple of the youtube vids which I had sworn I wasn't gonna do...

And my inital verdict based on these small pixellated glimpses? Surprisingly tres pleased! I've only watched I Alone and AOY so far but I actually didn't mind the quick-cut style editting in I Alone - really added to the drama of the song

As far all the criticism Ed's vocals have been copping - IMO they're much improved on the strained falsetto of the BOP/SFBM era shows (cough*Runaway*cough) - but seriously, what did people expect?!?! The TC-SS-TDTH days are long over, but I think he still manages to channel the intensity of some of those performances at times (Selling The Drama sounds partic-erly good).

On the other hand, I could do without the embarrassing "GOT! to have a two" crap

The most embarrassing moment though has to be at 2:32 of I Alone when he reaches out to grab a girl's hand and she doesn't grab back - "no-means-no style". I laughed my ass off

Just listened to the CD, thanks to amazon. Believe me, the songs sound different when listen to them on youtube or amazon samples, compared to listening to them loud on a hi-fi stereo. My reaction to this? Oh my God! This is fantastic, perhaps one of the best live releases ever. I do not agree with the criticism on Ed’s voice. Ed’s voice is great and much better than his voice in almost all songs off V, most songs off SFBM, and some songs off BOP. Thanks Live for this gold.
