In Concert Volume 1
Ah, The Sadies. Canada's favorite sons (Mike Belitsky on drums, Sean Dean on bass, Dallas Good on vocals and guitar, and his brother Travis on guitar, vocals, and fiddle) have come back once again to remind America of her musical heritage. Had Gram Parsons joined The Ventures rather than The Byrds, we might have heard proto-Sadies. As it is, we had to wait. It was worth it.
One fine day I went out to my mailbox and, lo and behold, there was In Concert, Vol. 1 waiting for me. And look at that - they're bringing back the double-live album. That's something of a dubious prospect - the double live was often a ploy used by worn-out, bloated arena-rock bands to pad the catalog a little without coming up with any new material - but if anyone could pull it off, it's probably The Sadies.
The album was compiled from two shows recorded (by Steve Albini) this February in Toronto. It's a sort-of career-spanning retrospective thing with a lot of (relatively) well-known guests, so a lot of people are comparing to The Band's The Last Waltz. The presence of Garth Hudson just feeds that sort of thing. ~ Full Review at NumberOneHitSong
