Editorial Review:
Recorded live during their spring 2002 tour.
Description of Alison Krauss & Union Station - Live:
This two-CD, 25-song set, recorded in Louisville on two nights in the spring of 2002, finds bluegrass's most celebrated crossover band at the top of its game. Krauss's warm, feathery vocals, capable of conveying complex emotions in a single note, appear more full-bodied than in studio recordings, yet lose none of their sensual appeal or dramatic tension. She's perfect, for example, as the melancholy temptress on "Let Me Touch You for Awhile," coming across as both savior and seductress, while Jerry Douglas's Dobro echoes the searing strains of passion and pain. With banjoist-guitarist Ron Block, bassist Barry Bales, and guest drummer Larry Atamanuik anchoring the rhythm, the ensemble deftly blends bluegrass with jazz, rock, and folk, combining lightning speed (though rushing through "Forget About It") with sophisticated chops, tangible emotion, and thrilling vocal blends. The crowd, more spellbound with every note, doesn't even breathe on "Ghost in This House" and nearly tears the place down on Dan Tyminski's voice-of-George Clooney showcase, "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow." But who could blame them? It's only one highlight on an album of uncommon artistry, a moving testament to how good live music can be in the hands of world-class players. --Alanna Nash
Alison Krauss & Union Station - Live Reviews:
never recieved, no email nothing 
2009-11-30 - I did not receive this product I contacted the sender but did not get a reply.
Favorite live album? 
2009-11-22 - I'm not a union station or bluegrass fan necessarily but this concert continues to captivate me years after first hearing it. every track on this release is incredibly authentic and the sound quality is the best. I invest hundreds of dollars in equipment aimed at giving you goosebumps and this cd delivers. I can't stop listening to it. Krauss is probably a once in a lifetime talent and this band was in an unbelievable groove. That dobro player might actually make this what it is along with alison. sigh
Don't miss This CD 
2009-11-08 - I haven't heard much of Alison Krauss before but this CD gave me the impuls to

2009-10-24 - It was easy for me to find this item on Amazon.
The price was good, straightforward to order, and arrived
in a matter of days.
I am happy with the purchase, as Allison Krauss is one my favourite artists,
and the 'live' CD contained all her best hits. The Amazon site was a
very helpful guide for me to purchase the right item.
Alison Krauss and the Union Station.
2009-08-17 - What a good value double CD this is. An excellent group of musicians and a wide variety of songs and instrumentals. It is everything I hoped for in a live session recording and the quality of the recording is studio standard. Alison Krauss shows her versatility with songs of varying tempo and mood and the Union station accompanies her, matching the mood of the songs. Their instrumentals are great, and the dobro player is outstanding.
