Pleasantly Surprised
July 19 2004
Format:Audio CD
I bought tickets to an upcoming O.A.R. concert, who is by far my favorite band, for the 2nd of September show ('04}. After reviewing the bands that will be accompanying O.A.R., and finding out that they are all recieving the same amout of stage time, I thought it would be wise to do a little research on the them (Guster and Howie Day). Since I didn't know very much, if at all, anything about Guster I decided to pick up their Live cd, "Guster on Ice," which had recieved good reviews. Ever since I recieved the CD it constantly is being played in my cd-player giving my O.A.R. cd's a well-needed rest. I highly recommend this CD to people who are fans and others who are out there searching for some excellent new tunes. The only thing that really bothers me about this album is I dont know which CD, if either of them, is the right order of the concert. I do not think the audio CD is in concert order because there are songs on the DVD that are not on the Live Audio CD, which is irritating. This is just a minor irritation that in no way takes away from the quality of the CD. In fact, if anything it has motivated me to go purchase thier other albums, 'Lost & Gone Forever' and 'Keep it together.' The DVD cd included in the 2-CD set is artistically put together. Transitions from behind the scenes to Guster's live concert was well-done. Again, the only thing that is bothersome about the DVD is that I do not think it is in concert order, which I feel takes away from it. Nearing the end, there is one song that I believe was the end of the concert as Guster is shown waving to the crowd and exiting the stage following them thanking Maine. The first time I watched the DVD i thought the CD was over but to my surprise another song came on. I was not at the concert and Guster may have came back onto the stage so I don't know for sure. All in all this cd deserves no less than the available 5 stars. I recommend this CD and look forward to not only seeing O.A.R. in Sept but also await Guster.
How Could Any Fan Not LOVE This?
July 17 2004
Format:Audio CD
Guster's DVD/CD set "Guster On Ice: Live From Portland, Maine," is a lavish package that fans will love.
With a superb array of bonus features, in addition to a spectacular show recorded between two December nights last year, it is 2 1/2 hours long, and a welcome addition to the band's catalog.
The program is shot in documentary style, with the beginning of the band's day shown as they ride into Portland and stop at the headquarters of 98.9 WCLZ FM to perform "Careful," the second single from last year's sharp "Keep It Together" album.
After footage of excited fans waiting to enter the venue, a smooth transition into the show ensues. Throughout the concert, the fans remain enthusiastic and enthralled by the band, often singing along in unison.
Although during the actual performance, Guster makes their job seem effortless, there is plenty of footage interwoven throughout the DVD that displays the reality that this is not so. Stressing over various aspects of the live performance, the band's perfectionist attitude ultimately pays off.
After opening to the ecstatic audience with "Fa Fa," from 1999's "Lost and Gone Forever," the band keeps the magic going for the next 17 songs. The razor-edged "Airport Song" and the dark "Red Oyster Cult" blend wonderfully with more comfortable material, such as "Backyard" or the tongue-in-cheek "(Nothing But) Flowers."
Throughout the setlist, the band never loses its footing. The only true downside of the release -- aside from the fact that the CD, while excellent, contains not enough songs from the DVD -- is that only one song, "Mona Lisa," is included from their first major-label album "Parachute." A gem of a debut, its presence is missed.
The bonus features included are generous and just as enjoyable as the concert. "Dave Yonkman's Week With Guster," a lengthy documentary, showcases the personalities of each member of the band -- and gives a great deal of insight into their daily lives, as well as their history as a band and as friends.
A few minutes where the viewer gets to "meet" Joe Pisapia, Guster's unofficial fourth member as of last year (who is declared official during the concert) and the awesome videos for "Careful" and "Amsterdam" are treats that make this package a must buy.
Absolutely the Best Live DVD Ever!
July 13 2004
Format:Audio CD
This is the best live concert DVD I have ever seen. It has the best production of any DVD, and the way they implement the backstage footage with the actual concert puts the great DVD's like The Central Park Concert (I'm actually on this DVD, and still think Guster's is better), Coldplay Live 2003, Any Given Thursday, etc... to shame. All of those are highly recommended but have no where near the effort put into as Guster on Ice . And the extra features, like "Chips Ahoy," are fantastic.

A DVD worthy of other classics like "Listner Supported"
This was an excellent show, and it was exciting to sit in the living room and try to recapture the feeling. The show was amazing, and its translation onto DVD was very good. Read more

Excellent release
Wow, at first I was kind of put off by the price and the PA, but I really like Guster, so I picked it up and I've got to say it's a very reasonable price for this. Read more

Awesome Package
I've loved Guster since their Goldfly days back in the mid to late 90's. It's about time they came out with a live album following their awesome Keep It Together album last summer. Read more
