Magical, Mar 21 2006
By Dave T - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doorways of My Mind: Live at the Nsc (Audio CD)
This CD is everything a live album should be. It beautifully captures the spirit of this wonderful performer, showcasing his extraordinary talent as a musician and songwriter. While a lot of live albums tend to offer lifeless performances that fail to match the quality of their studio versions, this recording proves Lior to rank amongst the finest of pop-folk musicians today.The rootsy "Autumn Flow" rocks like never before, the eastern influence of "Sitting With A Stranger" is further enhanced with an awesome string intro, and the tender ballads "Bedouin Song" and "Building Ships" are delivered with delicacy and grace.
This recording is also a testament to his astounding capabilities as a vocalist. Not only does his voice sound as silky-smooth live as it does on his debut (Autumn Flow, 2005), but his performances of "Grey Ocean" and "Avinu Malkeinu" (a traditional middle-eastern prayer) will make your spine tingle as his vocals soar in a way you won't hear on the studio album.
The two new cuts ("Diego & The Village Girl" and "Burying Chances") are excellent inclusions that really lift the pace and energy of this album. The set closes with the hit "This Old Love;" a stunning rendition that will make you appreciate how timeless this song really is - and hearing an audience sing along to a song they know and love is always a treat!
Recommended to fans of thoughtful pop/folk music (Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine, Emiliana Torrini...) Lior is the kind of artist you find after wading through all the James Blunts and Ben Lees of the world, looking for something ORIGINAL. Can't wait to see him live!

Few Words Can Describe!, May 9 2006

This review is from: Doorways of My Mind: Live at the Nsc (Audio CD)
Seriously, when I first saw Lior live I was mute for at least an hour afterwards (which is saying alot for me!!)! At that time I had only heard two of his songs (This Old Love and Autumn Flow) and was a little hesitant to see him perform without a little more knowledge.I am really glad that I went to see him, however, because he is an AMAZING act live! His studio-recorded album is superb but like the best artists, he surpasses himself when he is given free rain with his also amazing band. To hear his gorgeous voice brought me close to tears that first time and has continued to do so the subsequent performances I was lucky enough to go to.
Lior's release of Doorways in My Mind was a much anticipated event in my household and he did not disappoint! The old fav's This Old Love and Daniel were as great as ever, as were Gypsy Girl and Bedouin Song. But the standout songs for me had to be Autumn Flow with its added funkiness, Sitting With a Stranger with its awesome strings intro and Building Ships, which I never really appreciated until I heard it live. There are also a few extra songs not on his first album that are beautiful and still a novelty having not played them on repeat for the last year!
My only disappointment would be that he didn't include his live version of superficial which gave the band a nice chance to show their stuff a little more!
Overall, if you live in Australia GO AND SEE HIM LIVE and then buy the album! But if you are unlucky enough to live overseas this man's albums are absolutely worth you buying until he is big enough to tour overseas! So BUY IT NOW!!!
