Album Notes

THE BEARS are

adrian belew - guitar,vocal

rob fetters - guitar,vocal

chris arduser - drums,mandolin,vocal

bob nyswonger - bass

"The best damn band on the planet" - barbara knowles / tokyo star

the bears "live" consists of 14 hot performances by the legendary guitar-pop quartet culled from sold-out February 2002 concerts recorded in new york city, atlanta, cincinnati and asheville, NC, containing songs from their first two IRS discs as well as last years' award winning AAA top 30 release, "car caught fire",the bears hold nothing back in these incendiary live tracks.

adrian belew sets the performance bar ridiculously high for his longtime bandmates,and they erupt for the occasion,playing and singing so well the larry nager of the cincinnati enquirer wrote, "it's as if they were seperated at birth."

Holy cow!

Absolutely amazing performance. Same great sound as the studio albums, but with more life, more power. Check out the guitar solo on 'Under The Volcano' ... An absolute must.

Masterful and compelling Power Pop
author: Spud_Boy
Beautifully recorded live album from an important American band. Despite the between song outtakes (typical stage and crowd antics) this album delivers a lot of good music. Each song offers a glimpse at Belew's prog guitar work and all of the musicians revel in their delight at playing this music together.

Excellent ! Fantastic Recording ! Good Going, Guys !

I am glad the Bears were bold enough to step out on their own without being under the control of a major record label telling them what to do and how to do it. This great live album, like "Car Caught Fire", is as good as it gets. I can't wait to hear their next project. Grrrrrrrreat Stuff !
