"The Austin City Limits is a great DVD. But I wanted to alert fans to the recent concert recorded at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. by NPR (10-21-05). It can be downloaded in its entirety on NPR's All Songs Considered website. It's a kick-ass concert from beginning to end. All the old favorites and tracks off the new album are here. Don't miss it!"

A very pleasant surprise to come across...

"I hadn't looked here in some time to see if there was anything new by Son Volt. Imagine my surprise when I saw this newly-released DVD!

Truth be told, I couldn't even wait long enough for Amazon to ship it out - I got in my pickup and drove 45 minutes to the nearest book store that had it on the shelf : - )))

What an awesome CD - it was my first glimpse at the band live, and like my esteemed fellow reviewer said - the sound quality is EXCEPTIONAL. I work from home on my computer all day long and have music cranking the whole time. Needless to say, this DVD is now in heavy rotation! Now all we need is the CD version of the music so I can crank it out there too.

I thank ASL for releasing this - I remember the first time I saw Merle Haggard live on TV there. Great stuff, and they do indeed have 20+ years of gold in there. Hope they keep opening up the vault - maybe they have Uncle Tupelo hidden in there somewhere?

Anyway, enough rambling. Buy this one and get ready to enjoy it immensely!"

Cookin'

"Jeez , this DVD is damn good. Son Volt in '96 , live and cookin'.I would have paid just for the superb version of Back Into Your World but it's all good.Old-Timers like myself even get glorious renditions of the Tupelo classics True To Life and Chickamauga , such joy !!"

Perfect Blend

"This DVD is Son Volt at its best. It rocks - hard - on songs like Chickamauga, Route and Picking Up the Signal. But they can slow it down on songs like Too Early, Windfall and Tear-Stained Eye and pull them off with perfection. While this short concert leaves you wanting more (the new DVD has twice as many songs) it highlights the early career of Son Volt.

A must for fans of Son Volt and Alt-Country."
