Blue Rodeo - Just Like A Vacation [2 CD]

Blue Rodeo's Greg Keelor when asked about their Just Like A Vacation 2 CD live set pointed out that although a studio recording of a song is seen as the definitive one, a song can often go through multiple changes over a period of time. Capturing songs that have grown in stature over the years is one of the benefits of a well recorded live album, and this is a case in point. The energy of the crowd and the band's interaction with them can deliver a far less 'stiff' version of events than the original studio take, but many of their famous songs are faithfully reproduced in this live setting.

The heady combination of rock, pop, blues, country and even jazz has brought Blue Rodeo much critical acclaim, and this set documents the prime cuts from over 60 shows, including concerts in their native Stratford Ontario.

Just Like A Vacation features extensive liner notes from Jim Cuddy and Keelor, and the set is arranged as per the Blue Rodeo Setlist. Highly recommended for long-term fans and newbies alike.
