Music reviews of Life Death Live & Freedom
Music Review: Better than the studio album
Rating: 4 Stars
I was completely unaware that this (not sure what to call it: EP? mini-album?) release had come out until I stumbled on it the other day browsing for some good CDs. I immediately snapped it up.
"Life Death Live and Freedom" (8 tracks; 33 min.) was recorded during Mellencamp's 2008 summer tour (more on that later) and brings live versions of a bunch of the songs from the 2008 "Life Death Love and Freedom" album. Let me state immediately that I like the live versions of these songs a lot better than the dour-somber studio versions. Check out the opener "If I Die Sudden", which bristles with energy. Also love "Don't Need This Body". Likewise with the short "Young Without Lovers", in which Mellencamp manages to get the crowd to sing along (even though it was a new song at the time). "Jena" and "My Sweet Love" are a nice way to round out this too-short release.
Short indeed. Not sure why a few more 'bonus tracks' from the 2008 tour couldn't be added, even if they weren't from the "Life Death" album, I mean really. That aside, I saw Mellencamp on the 2008 summer tour here at the Riverbend Amphitheatre in Cincinnati, and it was a great show, as usual. Saw Mellencamp again on this summer's tour with Bob Dylan, by which time there were far fewer songs from the "Life Death" in the setlist. This EP/mini-album (thankfully priced accordingly) is highly recommended for Mellencamp fans.
