Just recently received and took a look (and listen) at the new live album "Awake live" by Josh Groban. This is very much a live version of his cd "Awake" and it is one of his concerts that was taped lasted year during his "Awake" tour in Salt Lake City. It is pretty much like the concert I saw here in Cleveland in February of 2007 (except that here in Cleveland he did not perform "Canto alla vita"; which is one of my favorites). I genuinely enjoyed that show last year and I liked watching this "Awake live" dvd. It brought back great memories of that night at the "Q" arena as I watched and listened to Josh perform my favorite songs on this live album, songs like "Mai", "Alla luce del sole", and "Machine". Josh has such a magnificent baritone voice and he seems to genuinely enjoy performing for his fans. He really seems to put his heart and soul into every show. And he is so damn hot, too:)
But as I said about his "Awake" cd, I found most of the songs on "Awake live" rather sad. I prefer the more upbeat songs on his albums "Closer" and "Live at the Greek". And I am not a big fan of duets. I think Josh does an incredible job singing on his own and needs no help to do that.
So my grades on "Awake live" are: A+ for Josh's performance, voice, presence, etc:)
B+ for the songs.
It is good solid live album and has me looking forward to Josh going back on tour here in the USA and returning to Cleveland:)I hope it is soon:)
