1. The Man Who Would Be Santa: Great sentimental song, the harmonies that make me cry from Running On Ice aren't as clear, but the passion the guys have live make up for that. One of my fave VH songs.
2. The Ride: Great new live song from Keith Kane. Love it, it has a funky groove to it, kinda like Famous from ROI.
3. Falling Down: This is a live classic, probably the most beloved by fans in general...the lyrics were written as a poem by Matt's wife Kelly Moylan, Matt put them to music.
4. On The Sea: A beautiful, sad song, the only one they still play live from There and Back Again.
5. Japan: Love this song, love this electric version better than their acoustic studio version or the super-electric version they play now...great melody too...
6. It's Only Me: Another new song, it's pretty good, not by any means forgettable, but not my favorite.
7. Candyman: Probably the only song from this CD that's not as good as its studio counterpart. The ROI version is so great it's hard to recapture something like that live.
8. Fragments: This was never my favorite VH song, but this version is much better than the ROI one, and it grows on you.
9. The Unchosen One: This sounds kind of like Windmills by Toad the Wet Sprocket, it's got a great mellow vibe, I love it.
10. Heart In Hand: Live classic, fans love it, not their best but pretty frikkin good.
11. Wash Away: 12 minutes, and not one of them is boring. What more can I say? This is their live masterpiece, and with their current bassist (Sean Hurley), there is a 5 to 8 minute bass solo when they play live now. Don't get me wrong, Chopper is a great player, but he can't hold a candle to Sean. Probably my favorite song they've recorded.
12: Great Divide: My favorite of the new songs on this album, this is just Matt and Keith on vocals, an acoustic guitar and some minimal percussion. I absolutely love this song and it was the perfect closer for the album.

This is, hands down, VH's best album. If you like the Everything You Want album, I'd reccomend picking up ROI, then Live Stages. You won't be dissappointed.

More to Vertical Horizon then just Everything You Want!
Eveything You Want is now a song that is all over MTV but this album is a tribute to what went before. The quality of VH songs is healthy to see. There is not one bad song on this album. It is very well produced and has such brilliant songs as Heart In Hand, On the sea and Great Divide. The early VH stuff was more acoustic as is this whole album and is very different from their new stuff. I love it none the less. It is great for acoustic guitarists also with great riffs and solos. What makes this a great live album for me though is how songs are varied to their album versions. You'll hear extra bars and solos here and there, which is the sign of a great band. Not just doing their stuff in the studio, VH are a live band and I cant wait for them to come to England! A great way to discover VHs early songs which still sound as fresh as ever.

Sweet live cd
all the songs rock. i think there are a better live band than studio. one of the best live cds i have heard. if you like there music i would say go get it you will love it

Amazing!
This is an amazing album from an amazing band. Their live show is like nothing I have ever seen, and this album captures Vertical Horizon's energy beautifully!... Two thumbs WAY up!!

Better than now
I first starting listening to VH when they first started at Ziggys in Winston-Salem NC.. This CD was recorded from a show that I was at, this is actually not their best performance I have seen.. But however I have never seen a bad VH show.. But anyway, this cd really shows the talent and artistry these guys really have.. Unforunatly they have become more radio based, but they still put on a good show.. If you get a chance to see them GO! You will not be disappointed. As for the CD, this is definitly the best CD you can get from this band.. I am anxious to hear the new CD that is being released at the first of the year..
