Editorial Reviews :
It's fitting that video channel VH1 is partnered with the obscenely attractive sibs of the Corrs for this live recording, captured in Dublin, near the band's hometown in Ireland. Given the stiff competition in the pop arena and the Corrs' rather limited touring, looks have doubtless played a part in their global ascent, although, judging by Live in Dublin, they've earned some props along the way. Both U2's Bono and Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood guest, the latter on the Corrs' cover of Jimi Hendrix's 'Little Wing' (though oddly not on their reading of 'Ruby Tuesday'). Neil Young's 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' rounds out the tribute triumvirate, and fans can expect surprisingly clear-eyed versions of major and lesser hits like 'Breathless' and 'Runaway,' plus a spirited, fiddle-fueled traditional in 'Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath.'
Buyer Reviews :
Originally, I wasn't planning on getting this CD, since it only had 11 songs, at least six of which have been produced in some form on the Corrs' other albums. I already own at least one version of every CD the group has produced, but when I found this on sale, I decided to go ahead and get it. I'm glad I did.
Andrea Corrs' strong vocals combined with her siblings' musical skills make for wonderful live performances that remind one of the album recordings of their hits but still add nuance to each song. Much like with their 1999 MTV Unplugged CD, the group's hits, such as 'Breathless' and 'So Young,' are mixed with new takes on songs by other artists. For me, the highlights of the CD are the guest appearances by U2's Bono on 'When the Stars Go Blue' and the song 'Summer Wine' -- he and Andrea sound amazing together, their voices working together, rather than battling for supremecy, as so many duets seem to feature these days.
I also like the band's take on 'Little Wing' and 'Ruby Tuesday' -- yes, these are classics associated with their original performers, but I like how the Corrs bring their personality to the table and reimagine the songs while still being respectful. I'd give this a five if there were more original content or even just more songs.
