Barenaked Ladies Live – Press Quotes:
“BNL continue to show that beneath the seemingly goofy veneer they are a band of serious craft and commitment. Clothed or not, they’re a damn fine live act.”
Louder Than War
“It’s obvious from the very beginning that these guys get along really well together and love playing live gigs. Their musicality and creative talent is obvious, and they are just fun to watch.’
Renowned for Sound
“The enraptured crowd were singing along with their best known and most-loved tunes to their heart’s content, led a merry dance through the band’s back catalogue, eventually leaving the venue blissfully happy to have been, once more, entertained by the after such a long wait.”
All Music Magazine
“Barenaked Ladies are a blur of quips and banter on stage, but make no mistake they can play. Tight vocal harmonies between guitarist and singer Ed Robertson, guitarist/keyboard player Kevin Hearn, drummer Tyler Stewart and Jim Creeggan showed the class and sense of melody that bands who have risen up from the rest possess.”
