Review title: Posies Come Alive ain't all it could have been.
Product review: Happy endings are always nice. It's a good thing that Jon and Ken decided to perform as the Posies again and that we have the Not Lame box set to look forward to, 'cause this here live album really wasn't much of a going-away present.Maybe it's the fact that it's taken straight from one show instead of compliled from a bunch of performances. Whatever it is, this album does not do justice to the Posies as a live band. The mix sounds sloppy, the harmonies are off more than they're on, and the song selection leaves a lot to be desired. It seems as if most of the effort was spent on Ken's incredibly detailed (and interesting) liner notes. Even the Cheap Trick cover is uninspiring.As a Posies live album, this was better than nothing, I suppose, but not much.Check out the far superior acoustic live album, "In Case You Didn't Feel Like Plugging In". It's a *much* better release than this.
