Editorial Reviews
E-Town Live is a compilation reflecting the diversity and outstanding performances by the artists that visit every week. E-Town, the nationally syndicated radio program, is heard on over 120 stations across the nation and is broadcast to 550,000 people every week! Produced on stage before a live audience, it's a unique variety show that combines live music with conversation and information about our environment and our communities.
From the quintessential opener of James Taylor's "Copperline" to be-bopping with Bobby McFerrin & Voicestra to relaxing to Big Head Todd and the Monsters, E-Town Live takes you on the musical journey that we deliver each week. Throw in Ani DiFranco's musing on growing up and Steve Earle's take on the military and you get a social commentary, too!
When we began working on this compilation, we, for the first time, really took a look at the body of recorded music that we'd gathered over the years. Not only was it a joy to go back and listen to so much great music, it was a reminder of the fact that E-Town is built on the support and cooperation of musicians.

Creative restlessness is not often rewarded in the arts marketplace; we want to know that you're the woman who does those paintings of pixies, or that gritty pop-punk act who sings songs about how parents really suck. And when we go to see you perform live, you better play your song like we heard it on the radio, the same way it sounds in our heads. Right? Eels leader Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, does not fit this profile in the slightest. He notoriously tours with wildly different variations on his perpetually mopey, low-key Eels. This disc captures E in a performance from his "With Strings" tour, playing a career-spanning sampler with a few covers while backed by two multi-instrumentalists and a string quartet. E's gruff Care Bear voice almost-soars atop ingenious and sparse arrangements throughout: strings, xylophone and singing saw on "Bus Stop Boxer"; bass, piano and strings on "Losing Streak." The only sore spot is how similarly-paced the twenty-two songs are, though fans will have no problem with that. -Mike McGonigalCustomer Reviews:
The Sound Is Fine.......2007-07-05
A Classic!.......2007-04-17
I'm amazed by the people who have reviewed this CD and complained about the sound quality. I am an experienced engineer and producer, and I have no problems with the way this album sounds.
In a time of over-produced, ill-written, tepid records, this, as much is the same with much of the eels work, this record shines.
Superlative Eels Tracks.....(Given the String Section Treatment!!!).......2006-08-17
Mark himself has always had something of a gruff, scratched vocal...but here, mixed with the stripped down arrangements, his songs take on a altogether more sinister, stirring and vulnerable mood, that shroud the music with a noticeably ragged and emotionally melancholic tone, that isn't quite as pronounced as on his studio albums. Mark's husky voice lends perfectly to the darker mood, and for all the imperfections in his voice, carries the songs wonderfully. At points, such as on "Novocaine for the Soul" achingly tender, and reflective. And with the more direct tracks like "It's a Motherf___" slightly brash and uptight. It's a thoroughly engaging mix of moving through moods and being engaging, elegant, cathartic, intimate, detached, yearning and ambitious. And for a `Live' recording to convey these messages and emotions so well, is a rounding success for Mark Everett. And bodes extremely well...for any possible further `Live' recordings he may have planned.
Admittedly, this is a `Live' recording that is `preaching to the converted'....as it's not really something that could probably challenge the best `Live' albums out there for accessibility, and widespread appeal. It's a little too insular, and probably a little bit too morbid to snag a wider audience outside Eels fans. It's a fantastic albums of that there is no doubt, but people without been familiar with the songs already or having no prior experience with Eels, may struggle to appreciate the almost suffocatingly dour tone (As fans of Eels will only be too aware of the bleakness of the majority of the bands work), and maybe this is something that Mark Everett realised, and the possible reason for a couple of covers...and add to the fact that Mark has the superb ability to give a cover version his own delightful spin on it (if you ever come across it....try and find his cover of "Missy Elliott's - Get Yer Freak on!!"), gives this release a well needed shot in the arm. But for those Eels fans out there, that are intrigued, by the prospect of a `Live' Eels recorded performance, this has got to be the brilliant addition to your collection.
Best album of the year!!.......2006-06-05
I hope that Mr. E releases a live album of the 2006 "No Strings Attached" tour. I saw them last night at the Roseland in Portland, OR and wow! what a difference. They played a few of the same songs like My Beloved Monster, Railroad Man, Mr. E's Beautiful Blues, The Only Thing I Care About, Dirty Girl, I like Birds, I'm Going to Stop Pretending and Hey Man, but this time it was a rock show. Everyone was dressed as if they were members of Motorhead and they played fast and hard.
More than just another live album.......2006-04-25
Eels add a new dimension of elegance, ambience and moodiness, and completely transform their songs by adding a string quartet, and toning down the guitars and percussion. This is not just another live album-if you buy this, you will be getting a set of uniquely interpreted songs, sometimes very different than the original recordings.
E's voice sounds particularly raw and off key in many places, but this only adds to the mood of the album. Every song fits in this album, and stands on it's own. Some of the highlights include the somber "Bus Stop Boxer" the intense "Trouble with Dreams" and the haunting and borderline creepy takes on "Flyswatter" and "Novocaine for the Soul" which run together (although he only goes through about half of the lyrics on the latter before the song turns into a long, distorted string solo), and five of the strongest songs off "Blinking Lights" to close out the record.
My only real dissapointment is that there are no tracks from "Electro-Shock Blues" which is one of the Eels strongest records. Apparently on the DVD version of this concert, 9 additional tracks appear, including those off "Electro-Shock" But the CD version contains 4 the DVD does not. Why not put them all together and make it a double album? Perhaps it is a ploy to get you to buy both. It may be noted that the iTunes version of this album has three bonus tracks.

Inspired performances.......2002-07-22
This CD is a compilation of "greatest hits" from the show's first few years. Some of these performances are absolutely stellar: Lyle Lovett (with an all-star band), Richard Thompson, Ani DiFranco, Ted Hawkins, the Fairfield Four, Steve Earle, and Joan Osborne really sing their hearts out. Really, they're all exceptional, not a dud in the bunch.
Maybe it's the altruistic nature of the show that brings out the best in their guests, maybe it's the Boulder Theatre, who knows? Whatever the source, these performances are truly inspired. Pick up this CD, and make your world just a little better.
E-xellent!!!.......2001-11-10
