Product Description
Amazon.ca
It's a modern wonder of the world: how is it that Jann Arden's consistently side-splitting humour never makes it into her music? That's not a dig--Arden is a fantastically gifted pop songwriter who can make loneliness seem three-dimensional. "I Would Die for You" and "Could I Be Your Girl" are tear- stained postcards to the disenfranchised. And yet, as the spoken-word bits scattered throughout Arden's Live with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra make plain, she is equal parts singer and stand-up comedian. Two monologues--one satirizing her relationship with her parents, the other detailing an outdoors mishap in her skivvies--are laugh-out-loud funny, making one wish that Arden's songs channelled that kind of energy. Nevertheless, the performances here-- recorded over two nights in early 2002--are topnotch, with Arden surveying her studio discs and adding a seasonal bonus track in "Make It Christmas Day." And while the chit-chatty parts are hilarious, fans might find themselves reaching for the Skip button by the third listen. --Kim Hughes

Fantastic Album--Up close & personal with her audience!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: 2002 Live With The Vancouver Symp (Audio CD)
This is a fantastic CD--Jann Arden's vocals are strong & true with the great addition of the Vancouver Symphony. The comedy undertones will leave you chuckling & smiling, as she shares some interesting past experiences. Makes you wish you were there in the audience!!! You can't go wrong with this CD!!

Great songs & stories,

This review is from: 2002 Live With The Vancouver Symp (Audio CD)
I love this CD. I've never been to one of Jann's concerts, so this gives a good idea of what they're like. The songs sound fantastic with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and her stories that she tells before some of the songs are so funny. I also love the interaction with the players in the symphony. I do wish the sound when she's speaking was at the same volume as the sound when she's singing, but I've noticed that on many live albums so I wasn't surprised that I had to turn up the volume during the speaking segments.Overall, a lot of fun. If you like Jann Arden, you'll also like Dar Williams.

Rocky start, smooth finish,
By A Customer
This review is from: 2002 Live With The Vancouver Symp (Audio CD)
I saw this concert in Windsor, Ontario, and Jann had the same sound problems with the opening song that night, as she does on this live recording from Vancouver. The mix is way off in spots, and the vocals are all but lost just pass the three minute mark. Why this wasn't corrected in post-production is even more troublesome. Jann is much better than this recording, and buyers deserve better quality for the hefty $[money] pricetag. Fortunately things get much better quickly, and the rest of the release is very good. Great entertainment for fans and newcomers.
