The Twilight Sad put on a great performance as always, but the orchestra is criminally
underutilized here, only actually appearing on 3 songs (The Wrong Car, The Room, Cold Days from
the Birdhouse). Naturally, those tracks are the best ones, and the power of the band and orchestra
combined is impressive.
The other tracks are stripped down arrangements performed ably and emotively. Other than that,
however, they don't offer much that the studio versions can't give you. It's nice to have a
Twilight Sad live album, especially a free one, but for the most part, I'd just stick with the
studio albums.
