Live TFF

eaa001

Coming off their great comeback album, Everybody Loves a Happy Ending", Tears for Fears releases a live album of some of its biggest songs. Most of the songs were performed well though some arrangements were lacking. Including the "radio edit" of Secret World was a waste. They would have been better off adding the original full length version or adding something else. Floating Down the River was a nice addition.

I really like this

PorcupineThief

This takes me back to the 80's. Not technically great but still pretty good.

Head Over Heels

I also can't believe the bad reviews. I like their old stuff too, but this album is really good! I had heard they had some new stuff out, but I also like the mixture of the old and since I never got to see them in concert, am really enjoying the live cuts of my favorite classic hits. Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith's voices are so melancholic, and beautiful together. Their songs are music to my ears. I just wish I had enough credits to download the whole album!

This was a treat

This was a treat, especially Roland speaking his father's tongue (he was Franco-Basque) to the Parisian audience. I was surprised at the bad reviews, I really enjoyed this album, and the bonus studio tracks.

TFF Live "Always A Treat" by mattny

EMUSIC-01E1433A

TFF is always worth the listen if it's a live performance. After all, this band sat in that big chair for the greater part of the 1980's-they kicked some serious "A" in the live atmosphere!! Kudos to e-music!!

Awful....Just Awful....!!

Sphinx

I have always been a huge fan of Tears for Fears....but this recording is so bad,it is not even funny.Even the background vocals are out of key! Avoid this download....

absolute shite

When someone is looking for Tears For Fears, this is NOT what they are looking for. These guys definitely got their sound in studio. Sounds like DMB is covering TFF.

Roland needed the help

Monkeywrench67

"What are we fighting for?" is a remake of a song Curtis did with his band, Mayfield. His writing partner there was more like Roland Orzabal than Roland.

Great idea: Live set for hardcore fans on eMusic!

FredSnertz

While I'm not a big fan of live albums in general, I'm enough of a fan of TFF to warrant getting this album. Even if it's hard to get the richness of their studio productions out of a traveling band, it's great to hear Curt and Roland's pure energy ooze out of their stage performances. The bonus studio tracks are nice cherry toppers. (And sneers to radio conglomerates that force a truncated version of the truly epic tune "Secret World"...Boooooo!)

good live

Good quality for live--Some people suck live-they don't.
