  • Awesome live recording
    author: Julie Blair

    Not only did I feel like I was at the show, I was so impressed with the sound quality. I can't wait til you are back in SF! All the best! -julz

  • AWSOME!! In every sense of the word!
    author: Brandi

    Nothing but pure perfection. Can't speak any better of this CD if I tried.

  • Rasputina in Pgh ROCKS!
    author: RatLuver

    I was at this concert... and it was as great live as it sounds on the CD. This CD is AWESOME and it's cool to know I'm one of the screaming fans. :-) This is a great mixture of their music, but too bad it's not long enough :-/ Keep up the great work and I CAN'T WAIT TILL THEIR BACK IN PITTSBURGH!!!

  • An Inspiring Work of Art
    author: october

    Rasputina Rocks! This cd was gnarly! And it eradicated my writer's block & got my words flowing again for my book!

  • one of their best
    author: a different anna

    This is one of the finest examples of Rasputina out their. If you want to hook a friend, A Radical Recital will do the job. They play the best songs from all of their albums up to Frustration Plantation, and in between the Strange and Amazing comments are simply delightful, beautifully illustrating the classic wit and wry humor that Melora brings to the group. We see all sides of Rasputina, from historical punk-rock to bittersweet sadness to humorous, even to seriousness at certain points. Not to mention the cover of Heart's Barracuda, which is one of the best songs on the cd and, IMHO, one of the best songs ever covered or even played by Rasputina. This cd will ensnare you until you have given god knows how many copies to all of your friends, relatives, and business associates, who will all promptly turn into devoted fans themselves.

  • it is COOL!!!
    author: anna

    dude, this is an awesome mix of some of their best songs. especially, watch tv and barracuda and rose k. and all the rest. it's a great sampler, and an awesome first rasputina cd.but i didn't get any covers with mine...

  • oh yeah, did i mention...
    author: anna

    as i said, this is awesome! i gave it to my friend, who said, "oh man, that is awesome! These are gangster cellos!" that is a high compliment. anyway, then she went with me to see them at sellersville, and it was AWEWSOME!!! they are awesome live, and i think they played some songs from their next cd. sellersville theater is old fashioned looking and small, so i guess rasputina looks for places like that. A Radical Recital is one of their best compilations of songs!

  • it is COOL!!!

  • Yes, yes, no, yes
    author: will strupp

    Claypool is a genious. He brought these brilliant folks along on part of his tour. They blew my mind. Parts of the show was like Soundgarden on the cello. I had to buy the album. Melora is..........amazing.

  • opening for les
    author: Annie

    Fantastic mix of music. Saw them for the first time opening for les claypool in denver and I was in aw! Went out and bought the cd immediately - not as powerful as seeing them live but pretty darn good.

  • feedback from the audience
    author: melody&lyric115

    this concert will always have a special place in my heart. It was a privelige to watch this concert just a spit's distance from the stage...this was the third time i saw rasputina live and the second time at Mr. Smalls(they played almost the same set list there about six months before)...anyways, I would like to leave a little insight about this show to all rasputina fans... 1. the reason there is VERY minimal crowd noise during songs is rasputina gets that much respect from their audience...they are truly something to behold live. 2.A couple of gems were left off of this live cd: brand new key and bad moon rising which they ended this recital with...i would call this a crime if i wasn't aware of the 80 minute cd limitation..(I personally would have cut a quitter and high on life for these two instead, but can i really complain?) 3. the band couldn't have picked a better setting to record a show...Mr. Smalls Funhouse is actually an old church converted converted into a concert theatre/recording studio... how cool is that? 4. when Melora says "we heard about the flood..." she is referring to the flood which turned Millvale, Pa.(Mr Smalls actual location)into a state emergency disaster area after hurricane Ivan. (note: rasputina closed their previous set at Mr. Smalls six months earlier before the flood with Bad Moon Rising..was it an omen???) 5. there were probably less than 200 people at this show, mr smalls is a VERY small venue. 6. unlike some mainstream bands with a disgusting amount of money and equipment...rasputina are REALLY this amazing live!!! there are no fancy studio corrections here guys, it's warts and all, take it or leave it!!! 7. there are really no warts on this cd.... anyone else out there who was at this show(or not) and would like to chat about the band please email me @ alienpolitixx@webtv.net

  • beyond anything ive ever heard
    author: BobboSlobbo

    while i was most prompted by barracuda to make this purchase,the whole cd absolutely bounces off my brain in a magical way.Respectfully,you wont regret buying this.

  • A fantastic live album
    author: Steven Mangold

    Most of these are from Rasputina’s Live CD RADICAL RECITAL. A kick ass CD. Rasputina is one of the best live shows I’ve been too and this CD captured it pretty well. The sound recording is excellent, a clear mix without forsaking a live feel. IT doesn’t quite get across just how thundering the noise coming out of those cellos can be, but then nothing short of seeing them live will give that experience.

  • Ecclectic Funky Fun
    author: Balzammon

    I liked this Cd. I thought that it was funky and strange and yet fun. I reccomend ,Rasputina: A Radical Recital, to anyone and everyone. If your missing that one Cd to give your collection that special cohesive touch: this is the one. Plus CD Baby gets it to you oh so fast.

  • Amazing recording value!
    author: Sam Hell

    I've been a Rasputina fan for years and, to my chagrin, have never had the pleasure of seeing them live. While a CD cannot possibly deliver the entire experience, this is as pleasant a substitution as one could ask. The levels are impeccable, and the crowd noise is kept to a pleasant minimum. Kudos to the engineer! It's also worth mentioning that I received it in good time, in great condition, and with plenty of follow-up. Thanks, CDBaby!

  • This band rocks it!
    author: Keli in Baltimore

    I love this band. I was afraid the live version would have too much annoying audience noise (something that's never fun to hear through headphones), but it's kept at a minimum. I highly recommend it!

  • Rasputina at the greatest...
    author: Travis

    I have all their CDs cept HWQTF... which they need to re-release soon... anyways i luv em so much and they sound so good live... anything they do is perfect!!!! WHOOT Melora!!!! ^.^

  • Totally Awesome. This is my first time hearing Rasputina and I am HOOKED!
    author: Sarah

    This is the first time I have ever heard Rasputina. I heard about them from DeVine DeSigns out of Georgia. They told me she was great and I had to see for myself. I bought the CD not knowing if I was even going to like it. WOW did I ever like it. Everyone I know asks me who is that and where did you get it. I am completely hooked!!

  • author: Fushia

    I love this cd very much.....find the ladies very amusing. Their playing rocks! I have shared my new music with others and they also wish to purchase the cd. I saw them live at the Middle East Sunday the 29th. Great show.

  • Yay!
    author: Amy

    I adore my new CD; they are a wonderful group with such hilarious and beautiful songs.

  • The fox approves
    author: Larissa

    At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy the cd because it has songs on it from all of Rasputina's albums which I already had. But, honestly, this cd is worth the money. Melora's commentary is hilarious and the music sounds a lot different live. This record really does capture the intense energy at a Rasputina show. There is a lot of audience interaction and it means a lot to know that the people in Rasputina care about what their fans have to say.

  • Birthday Present
    author: Teri

    This was a birthday present for my younger brother and he loved it! He saw you guys in concert and can't wait until you come back to Chicago.

  • LOVE IT!!!!!!
    author: Megan Sanpedro

    I LOve this cd and so do my kids!!!!!!

  • I loooooooooooove it!!!
    author: Lindsay Rae

    I absolutely love this cd!!! I love the random little comments and the CELLOS!!! I just... AH!!! Freaking awesome!!!

  • Wonderful and energizing.
    author: Amy

    The first time I listened "Rasputina: A Radical Recital" I was blown away. The music is imaginative, inspirational and wonderful. I could listen to it all day.

  • author: Cassie

    An excellent and remarkably accurate aural picture of a Rasputina concert.

  • I'm hooked!
    author: Savdog

    This is my first introduction to Rasputina, and I'm absolutely hooked! Their voice are beautiful, and their use of cellos is simply amazing and unparalelled.

  • Excellent
    author: MR. Gruber

    As allways, Rasputina delivers, also on this CD...

  • I love Cellos and the Spectacular Audio!!
    author: Leanansidhe

    Having seen them in concert, I love having a full recital on cd. The sound is pretty good too and not too much annoying screaming and clapping. I especially love barracuda. I heart cd baby, rasputina AND this cd.

  • Best (and only) Rasputina live recording ever!
    author: the ginger-bred man (theginger-bredman.deviantart.com)

    I attended the replete recital at which this opus was recorded. Mr. Small's was, shall we say, "sobresaliente" as a showcasing venue for our treasured, tenebrific trio. A couple secret messages about this recording: During the intro. to "Signs of the Zodiac" when Melora says, "I know," she is responding to a yell, from the crowd, of the phrase, "Astrology's bullshit!"—it is all but inaudible in the recording, but I know it was said because the guy right in front of me yelled it. Next, certain of Melora's "strange & amazing comments" about Ann & Nancy Wilson were somehow edited from the segment after the performance of "Barracuda" (which sounded a ton more enormous live than it ever could've in the recording). Yet, I hope I'm not causing any trouble by mentioning it—if so, I'm just a delusional Rasputina fan, nothing I say can really be taken as true anyway. But seriously, BUY THIS CD! You may or may not regret it, but you'll thank yourself later with masochistic pleasure! And if you ever want to see Rasputina live, Pittsburgh is the place. (I would know, I live there.) If you don't believe me, just listen for yourself.

  • Killer, a beautifuly sweet and sonicaly expansive brain massage
    author: Viktor (Maggot Caberet)

    I own two other Rasputina recordings and love them both but Radical Recital makes me hard. Beautiful and deep, like a friendly, tickelish kiss with a bite. Right from the opening of the show you will feel the kick and warmth of this stellar, digitally recorded LIVE show and wish you were there.

  • Melora is like a fine wine...
    author: Kristen (www.UnleadedZine.com)

    What a fantastic recording of a show I wish I attended. Melora's personal intros for every song had me smiling the entire length of the album. I've been a fan from the beginning and will continue to follow this brilliant band until the end...( and even then i'll still stalk them...)

  • As a classically trained cellist, I dream of amplifying and rocking live!
    author: btone 63

    As a classically trained cellist, these two phine lasses and one very savage lad are living my dream. Radical Recital is a wake up call to rock and roll;either keep up with the electric cello or get out of the way! the musicianship and songwriting come together in a scintillating performance. Even my 69-year-old mother liked the band's blistering version of Mama was an Opium Smoker.

  • Excellent!
    author: MixFox

    This is a great cd! I saw them in Atlanta a few days after this recording, so I now have a lot of the songs I heard that night on disc. The quality is amazing & the musicianship is awesome as always. What makes the cd so great is that someone who never heard Rasputina before could pick it up and get a taste of what all of their music is like. Not to mention that they ROCK live. BUY THIS CD!

  • author: Whitney

    I love it. There's not much else that I want to listen to these days. I think this disc has become one with the player, never to be separated.

  • A Live Recording Worth Having
    author: Anthony

    This excellent Cd could ver well double as a "best of Cd". Not to be missed by any fan!

  • Soooooooo very unique and FABULOUS
    author: Karen

    This CD is just the BEST way to experience Rasputina - live and crazy! (They should SO do a DVD...) The most fab of all the Rasputina I've heard. I believe in Melora-as-goddess as many do - LOL - and her voice is just an amazing INSTRUMENT here. Makes me glad I was "almost there" with them, and makes me wanna REALLY be there...they must be truly stellar live...

  • amazing, as always
    author: luna

    i have to say that rasputina is one of those few bands that is actually almost better live. the songs take on new shades, different nuances.. and the thrill of those two cellos live is just exhilarating. rasputina is an amazing band and this is an amazing live cd. BUY IT!

  • A Great Gift to foreign Fans
    author: Emilio Romero Gallardo (méxico)

    this CD represents to me the oportunity to feel in some way the fabulous experience of attend to one of Rasputina's Recitals wich is practicly imposible to fans like me who lives out of the US, also is a solid proof of how much quality Rasputina haves to performes! so I'm pretty grateful for this album! Keep RoCking and Bowing Baby!!

  • author: MeXiCan FaN!

    RoCk & BoWS!!! Love the entire album, specially the new arrangement of "Watch T.V." and of course Love Rasputina, Melora is my Idol!!!

  • deliciously infectious cacophony
    author: Corinna VanKleeck

    Absolutely wonderful live album except the abrupt between track slices. Much more enjoyment would have come from the continuous banter of the entire concert. Wild musical ride, deliciously infectious cacophony. You won't be able to get enough!

  • the glory and the crazy melora talk
    author: leah b

    as i have not yet had the joy and rapture of seeing rasputina live yet, this glorious mix of cello and patented melora crazy talk helps me hold on till i can experiance it all first hand...a must for any rasputina fan or anyone who's into kooky rock and string instruments.

  • Malora is my Goddess!!
    author: Kenny

    I love Rasputina, and this CD is a good representation of their live sound and their banter. I felt that with "Cabin Fever" they had finally found their sound, and now with this collection they have shown what they can do live.

  • Imperial upstarts rock mightily
    author: petemaskreplica

    Dashed clever chaps, these colonials, and tricky with it. Under the veneer of respectable ladies' pastimes there lurk rhythms of such licentiousness that I had to wear my hair-shirt for a week after hearing this phonogram. I fear for the Empire should they ever cross the water. God save the Queen!

  • Absolutely unmissable.
    author: Tirrie

    I normally hate live CDs, and the sound quality and crowd participation just irritates me. But this... this is AMAZING. From the very beginning with Saline The Salt Lake Queen to the very end with High On Life this album is perfect. The quality is as good as studio, Melora's commentary is cute and the crowd don't get annoying. This definately makes up for not getting to see them live. The packaging is also beautiful. If you're wondering why bother to buy this because the songs are on the other albums, then BUY IT ANYWAY! The live versions are just as good as studio but different enough to make this CD essential to anyone, even if you have all their studio albums.

  • live recordings can be hit or miss- this is amazing!
    author: julia

    I love to see Rasputina live. This disc really gives you the experience. It's great to have some of the fun covers at home finally. i absolutely love them and this disc is a must have for any true fan- especially if you havent seen them live!

  • BLOODY AWESOME SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    author: LuLusgirlfriend

    This work is fantastic! Rasputina's mojo is supreme! Melora is too awesome for words! THIS CD is A MUST BUY! It is the only CD I have played for hours since it arrived! BUY IT NOW!

  • rock
    author: j

    for some reason, though i'm a big fan of the group, i wasn't sure that they could pull off their sound live, having never seen them before. i'm so glad this CD proved me wrong. i hope i get to catch them in concert the next time they pass through the area. wonderful CD, great live sound--really crisp and powerful. couldn't be happier with it.

  • awesome
    author: matt

    this really is an excellent recording. the band sounds wonderful; melora's singing is brilliant and it was great to hear zoe too.

  • Nothing less than completely fabulous!
    author: Anner

    listen to it. it feels like you're at a concert. a really really really good concert. and you're having fun. because not only is the concert really really really good but its really really really fun. and awesome.

  • WWWWOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!
    author: Vince France

    I know Rasputina since 6 years. I know i'll never see them in a show, that is why i bought this CD. And what a surprise! the sound is very good, Melora's voice so perfect... Please!!! come in FRANCE!!! we can make the show in my flat if you want!!!! xxx

  • amazing
    author: Ronny

    Amazing, really makes you feel like you're at the show. good songs (not that rasputina can produce anything but good)

  • Great live disk.
    author: nicomaree

    I really enjoyed this disk, it has at least one of everyones favorite songs. I also liked how there is also speaking in the begining of the songs,It makes it more than just hearing a compalation of songs with clapping at the end. Good sound quality.

  • Fabulous
    author: Jon Freeman

    WOW -- Great CD!! Sound quality is awesome. I'm lucky to have seen them twice. Now I can feel like it whenever I want. BUY THIS NOW!!!!

  • A DIVINE M-A-S-T-E-R-P-I-E-C-E
    author: Acquatoffana

    What a set-list! Sounds like a live best-of to me, somewhat. And you get what you want here : just enough audiance presence, just enough band commentaries, live performance rawness and nice selections of songs. Yet, this is a radical recital. It's the essence of Rasputina, which I think is probably one of the best active bands in the world to my knowledge. The main cello, the backing cello, the vocal, the backing vocals and a drum that doesnt SET the mood but that FOLLOWS it, through compositions that will always touch you, wether it's the distorted HIGH ON LIFE or the smoother SECRET MESSAGE. This selection of songs is all barbed wire and cream. It's poetry, chamber music, grunge freedom and orchestral grandeur. Dont miss this master-piece. As another reviewer said, this is what music should be today. It looks at the past, study the present and draw textures of the future. Buy it. Do it for you.

  • WOW
    author: Dandy's Husband

    AMAZING !!! ASTONISHING !!! WONDERULL !!! and all the other superlativ that you can imagine ! i'm french, so I'm sorry for my english, but I'll try to do this review, because this live is the best that i've ever seen !!! Melora's voice is perfect, the music too, the little spitch are great ( even if I didn't understand all lol ) , so, to make a summary of my ideas about this cd : BUY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rasputina is everything you could want in music.
    author: Xine

    I loved this cd and Rasputina. Rasputina is one of the most unique musical acts in the business today. As a classical music lover and pop culture hater, it's just about a perfect fit for me. What demented little girls (and boy!) I've seen them in concert a bunch of times. I was really glad to hear such a wide variety of songs on the cd and that the recording itself was so amazingly clear and true to form. This is a must for any Rasputina fan.

  • author: lomara

    It's great because I've never seen Rasp in concert and probably never will... Lomara Paris (France)

  • great for all Rasp fans!
    author: Erin

    If you're a Rapsutina fan you have to have this. You get to hear the band in all their live glory - which is GREAT in case you are wondering!

  • Finally a live cd
    author: bal360

    I think this was a well done live recording and sounds faithfull to the sound of being there. Just make sure you play it loud

  • author: neil

    a fantatic live recording. melora is wonderful and her comments in between the songs are hilarious. i almost crashed when she was talking about hitler's one ball.

  • The Coolest Cellos in Rock!!
    author: Neil

    The CD was great! I've been a fan but have never managed to listen to Rasputina live. I've heard about the shows through articles and reading their website. Melora is a pill and certainly one of a kind. Great music and CD!

  • A R.R. was radically awesome
    author: Danielle

    The cd was great! I have been waiting awhile for ras. to release something live & i was soo not disappointed. The sound quality was good and melora's voice was stronger than i've ever heard it. her little quirky remarks between songs was interesting. deff. a good investment!!

  • Excellent Live recording
    author: Matt

    This is a great Live recording of one of the most unique and creative bands out there today. The energy is good all the way through, the sound is great and so is the set list.

  • AWESOME!
    author: FUNK musician TAKi76

    very creative!

  • amazing stuff
    author: Philippe Pierquin (the one from Belgium)

    Oh god! Those girls rocks hard! Amazing stuff. As a cello fan (Truls Mork, anyone? Check him out, he's THE master of classic cello), I'm completely under the influence of Rasputina. It's like Tori Amos meets Apocalyptica with great songs and a unique sense of humour. You can count me as a converted!

  • Felt like I was at the concert.
    author: Kimberly

    Clear recording, the crowd noise is kept to a minimum. The music is great like always. If you like other Rasputina CD's you will love this one, too.

  • a retreat from the day
    author: robi

    makes my day 24/7 everytime i listen to it

  • Almost as good as being there.
    author: Monika

    This live cd was great, almost as good as being at a Rasputina recital. Except without the sticky smell of spilt beer clinging to your clothing or that one chick who knows ALL the words singing loudly and badly right next to your left ear the entire time. A definite must-have for Rasuputina fans.

  • long live beauty and obscurity
    author: CLOWN

    To the Reader: Once again The two respectuful women and Sir of Rasputina put a smile to my face.. yes once again. One thing i know for shure, this CD made me jealous, jealous that i should have been there that night to witness and hear sucha show. and i know the rest of the buyers here feel the same. agreed?

  • Unearthly
    author: Sara

    When I heard this CD was coming out, I knew I had to have it. I saw Rasputina live at the House of Blues in Anaheim about a year ago, and I couldn't believe how awesome they sound live! Since then I've been searching for a recording that shows just how great they are in concert. I couldn't believe sounds like those could be made with cellos. Whenever I have new people listen to this CD, I make it a point to tell them that the only instruments they use are cellos and drums, and I'm always met with a look of surprise. "There are no electric guitars in that?" they always ask me. I've never heard anything quite like their music. It is heavenly. Or hellish, depending on which you like better!

  • There's always room for cello!
    author: Chelle.

    Weeee!!! What an awesome ride from begininning to end. I never ever buy "live" albums cause they usually disappoint. This live recording was definitely NO disappointment. The sound quality was excellent--I felt like I was actually right there on stage next to Melora and Zoe. I absolutely LOVE the song selection as well--many of my Rasputina favorites. Great job you guys! Keep 'em comin'! Weee!!

  • Perfect!
    author: Sophia

    As Rasputina have never, to my knowledge, come to the U.K., this recording of their live show was very sought after by me! I actually much prefer most of the live versions to those on record. Covers such as "Barracuda", "Rock & Roll" and the rocking closer "High On Life" are perfect & this record will stay on my stereo forever! Or, until the band show up in England, at least.

  • Just like being there...I think
    author: Vic Deadly

    I would have rather bought this at one of their shows, but since they never seem to come to the Boston area...( hint, hint). There were a few songs I would have liked to see on this like Our Lies or Mayfly. Overall, this is by far one of the best sounding live cds I've heard in a long time.

  • If you didn't make it to the last show, this CD takes you there...
    author: Dennis G

    Great CD. Not all of their best material, but it is worth picking up. If you find yourself needing just one more good song to push you over the edge, buy this CD and then go to the artists website to download a free track that didnt make it onto this CD. Play this CD LOUD and play it OFTEN! It really kicks butt.

  • Strange, Disturbing...Fabulous
    author: Jali

    Since Rasputina didn't tour in "Old-Europe" yet (not that I know of, at least), "A Radical Recital" is an opportunity to finally hear the girls (and one boy) on stage for their overseas fans. Rasputina present us a good mix from their whole reportoire, not only presenting their latest album "Frustration Plantation". So, except for maybe "Barracuda", there is little, that the common Rasputina fan, won't know. But most songs sound different live, which has of course to do with the reduced size of the band: With only two celli left, there is much less space for escapades, but it clears the way for new interpretation, and forces cooperation between all three members of the band. The perfect example for the fruitfulness of this process is the new arrangement of "Watch T.V.". Without the piano line, the song rolls over the audience like a wave. It is more forceful, and much clearer than on the album. Althogh the song takes Melora's voice to the edge (she masters it though!), it is one of the highlights of the album. The absolute highlight of the recital however is the next song: "Hunter's Kiss". While on the studio album the base line seems all molten and thick, and the dampened vocals vanish in a blurry carpet of noise by the end of the song, the live version is clear and powerful, and brings out the melodic subtleties of the song. The only interpretation on performance that has lost is "A Quitter". It's missing the third cello, and sounds somehow incomplete to me. After all this album is a must-have for every friend of progressive cello music, and for fan's of Rasputina, buying this CD is not a matter of discussion, but a neccessity. The technical quality is 1a. The celli are perfectly balanced, and by no time the vocals get to low. Some "high-budget" production from so called "super-stars" should take an example here.

  • Fabulous - I'm at the recital all over again!
    author: Lise Treutler

    The decision to release a live CD of one of Rasputina's recitals on the past tour was a brilliant one. Since I saw them in Montreal (and had the benefit of hearing from the mouth of Melora herself backstage that something like this would be released), I've been reliving the show... And this, A Radical Recital, captures the live energy beautifully - especially with the necessary inclusions of Melora's creative commentary! This is one album that must be played LOUD.

  • RASPUTINA REALLY ROCKS IN 'A RADICAL RECITAL'
    author: Christina

    This CD captures the essence of seeing Rasputina live, ALMOST entirely. Of course, nothing compares with the joy of actually going to a show, but this is a fairly accurate representation, complete with music, magic, and Melora's quips. A good, well rounded selection of songs from their repertoire, and the sound quality is very good. Highly recommended.

  • What becomes a legend most...
    author: Tess

    The CD was wonderful, and arrived shortly after I ordered it. I'm a large fan of Rasputina, and this was a wonderful addition to my large collection of CDs.

  • Amazing
    author: Pascal

    I bought the cd the first day it was available. But forgot to write a review.... as I was too busy listening the cd over and over again. Buy it! it's an amazing CD! I love it love it love it. Beware, they really ARE good.

  • A fantastic live show.
    author: liz

    This album is a must have for Rasputina fans. This Pittsburgh show is hard-hitting; the sound quality is incredible, and the band is as tight as ever. Pick this CD up.

  • Witty... really awesome
    author: John

    Not quite like actually being there... but you can't see Raspy every day. An excellent album.

  • What I've been waiting for.
    author: Ften

    Live is the only way to listen to rasputina. You can't gett the full effect with otu hearign it live. This is probably the best album I've listen to in years.

  • Love it, love it, love it
    author: Kjirsten

    I am very pleased with the live album. The sound quality is good, it is a good mix of songs from the different albums as well as covers and songs that aren't on the other albums. I was particulaly pleased with the live version of Hunter's Kiss, which is a song I didn't really pay attention to before. As always, I love the strange and humorous commentary by Melora. If you are a fan of Rasputina, you have to get this album.

  • The title says it all, this recital is RADICAL!
    author: Vanessa Strickland

    this CD truly replicates the experience one has at a Rasputina show, with off-the-wall rockin, soul-shaking singing, and amusing quips in between each song. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY RASPUTINA FAN!

  • uber great!
    author: ms. sinatra

    I think it's buten good, but what do I know about music? I listen to theremin filled instrumentals and dance to Patsy Cline songs.

  • Great capture of their live show
    author: Kristian Perry

    This is great! I preferred the live versions of their older songs to the original recordings. Rasputina rocks and this captures it. Missed Black Moon Rising, though.

  • Excellent
    author: J

    Containing songs from all of their commerical releases, along with Melora's witty chatter...I highly recommend this cd as an addition to any Raspy collection.

  • It's better than that beer you mixed with that icecream(oneword)
    author: jo...jo...john

    I haven't heard it yet, but i'm giving it 4 stars based on Trust. Do people reallly trust enough anymore? I'm skeptical. so much that indeed. And so it is. I'm working on my trust issues, Will you, just buy this even if you don't listen to music and only sounds of the ocean cds because that's where your heart lies but remember it really also lies in trust, turn that drop into a sea. buy this.

  • A truly Radical Recital!!
    author: Caitlin

    Wow! This cd rocked. As always, Rasputina never fails to rock me!! I've seen them in concert and this cd is as much fun as seeing them live! If you haven't bought it yet, BUY IT!!

  • Wonderful!
    author: Amy

    The CD is amazing. It's great to experience the intro's on CD. Rasputina is fantastic live and the CD shows this.

  • never a dull moment
    author: monstersbride

    Radical Recital is one of the best live albums I've ever heard. Rasputina shows are always the best sounding and most talented shows I've ever been too; and now I can take it with me everywhere I go. It's like having a mini Rasputina in my head. Oh that's scary and exciting all at the same time!

  • Fabulous!
    author: Endomorph

    Finally a live Rasputina CD that's of great quality, personality, and style. It's a joy listening to Melora's humorous quips between songs. This is a must CD for any Rasputina fan.

  • Never disappoints
    author: Bobby D.

    This CD perfectly captures all of what makes seeing Rasputina live such an amazing experience. I was unable to see them on this tour and was extremely disappointed about it, I'm glad I have this CD to make up for that.

  • Rasputina rocks me 1802! Classic cow punk, ingenious rythems!
    author: deosea

    Rasputina saved me from the drudgery of modern music. I always strive for something that sounds different. One night some years ago, I saw Rasputina perfom Leech Wife on the Conan O'Brien show. I was floored. Within a week I bought the album HOW WE QUIT THE FOREST. The music was phenomonenal. Who knew cello and drums could rock you to your knees. I saw them live once. Getting the live CD A RADICAL RECITAL allows me to relive the experience of seeing them live over and over. It is also like a best of collection. Rasputina should always be played at full volume. If you are not enjoying the synesthesia it provides you should be dancing about your house. You'll be singing along before you know it. Rasputina is a God send towards the hubbery and bubbery of modern music.

  • Rasputina never ceases to delight and bedazzle me!
    author: Mary A aka blacknailpolish

    This CD was fabulous from beginning to end. Rasputina is one of those rare artists who are just as amazing live as they are on their CDs. They're not like those OTHER artists - amazing CD, but they're awful live (thank God). Melora's song introductions are hilarously priceless! The added bonus for me was finally getting a recorded version of the classic "Barracuda". I love when they tap into their 'classical' side. If you've always wanted to see Rasputina live but haven't had the chance, I highly recommend this CD. It's not a substitute for the real thing, but it'll hold you over until you get to see them for yourselves! Buy several and give them to your friends. Spread the Raspy love.

  • Hot Ass
    author: Gion Vincent

    This disc rocks. Has songs spanning every album , including the ever elusive *any olde actress*, beautiful. Sound quality is great, Meloras voice beautiful , jokes are hilarious, espcially Hitlars one ball. No Rasputina fan new or olde could be disappointed with this xo -G

  • author: Rina

    No Rasputina collection is complete without this CD. Where else could you not only get fantastic live recordings, but Melora's wit as well. I loved this CD. Buy it!

  • Phenomenal!
    author: Ducky

    This is a fantastic cd in every way. If you've ever heard a Rasputina song and liked it, buy this cd now, and don't give it another thought.

  • Like Being There
    author: NoirReview

    Rasputina is a wonderful performance band. Unlike some of their other CD's, which are still good, this CD possesses all the raw energy, bizarre quips, and power of a live show. I recommend this CD highly.

  • This is awesome-oh.
    author: Elyse

    This CD was all I expected and more. Even though I couldn't catch them this time on tour I get to pretend everyday I did. The comments inbetween are what make the CD.

  • Amazing!!
    author: Erica

    This CD was fabulous. Seeing them live is always an amazing experience, and this album captures the charm of their live performance. Never before have I ever had a live album of a perfomance I attended. I only wish the encores were on it too! I'd buy a double CD!

  • THIS CD ROCKS !
    author: CHRISTOPHER IN SAN DIEGO

    I've been seeing Rasputina for years - and I just caught them the other night in San Diego (05/13/05)- and I have to say that this LIVE CD captures their show perfectly - I hope that Rasputina lets out a live DVD in the near future. This CD is a worthy buy and I've listened to it over 10x since I received it the other day. FANTASTIC !

  • yee ha!
    author: rustik

    This CD is the one that shows off the well rounded entertaining nature of a Rasputina performance. It isn't just the sick cellos swooning and swelling, or their crooning voices, nor the sparkle of the drums here and there, it is the slightly "off the rocker" recitations of Melora that make this CD worth it!! A MUST have for rasputina fans....especially those not lucky enough to see them in concert!

  • First live CD I've ever enjoyed, and it's awesome!
    author: CD of the year!

    Audio quality and songs are absolutely wonderful. Photo booklet on the inside was a nice surprise. Like Rasputina? You'll love the Radical Recital!

  • I have been waiting so long for this!!
    author: Misty

    This CD is great, I am so happy to be able to listen to them live anytime I want now. Even my bird loves it!!

  • These cats rock!
    author: Angie

    This live recording is wicked! I hope that many people buy it because they will totally enjoy it. The humorous jokes between songs are wonderful and the songs themselves are the best!

  • Loves it!
    author: Mikee

    This CD is the perfect accessory for any Raspy fan. It is THE best live recording I have heard so far, and it accurately portrays a true Raspy recital. Plus, the kooky-kids at CDBaby are AWESOME - so order this CD from the RIGHT AWAY!

  • Rasputina Rocks Sexy White Jesus
    author: SexyWhiteJesus

    Great sound quality, great song selections, great band, great CD. I first saw Rasputina on the Conan O'Brian show years ago and have been a fan since. Looking forward to seeing their "Radical Recital" in Dallas 5-18.

  • author: Gelfling

    This CD is the next best thing to seeing Rasputina live! It has been playing non-stop since I got it! The photographs in the booklet are beautiful and the songs have a little of everything, Hunters Kiss is fabulous!

  • wonderful
    author: Rebecca

    This is an amazing recital!! Sadly I've never seen Rasputina live, but now I can play pretend. :) Melora's comments are hilarious, and the songs are all perfect.

  • HURRY! HURRY! STEP RIGHT UP! COME AND GET IT! A RADICAL RECITAL!
    author: Natalie

    I had been waiting for Rasputina to put out a CD of one of their recitals and this CD was well worth the wait!!! It was beautiful!! The music rocks and Melora telling her stories in between songs is just breathtaking!!!!! EXCELLENT!!

  • AWESOME
    author: Cass

    Amazing, almost as good as seeing them live, which exceded all expectations. Look forward to seeing them again soon.

  • Amazing
    author: Caroline

    A Radical Recital is the perfect new addition to my Rasputina collection. Seeing them live is inspirational and amazing, hearing a recording is the next best thing. If you like this band, this is a must have.

  • A worthwhile purchase
    author: Nailbunny

    Rasputina is... nothing short of amaizing. The sound on this album is crisp and clear, and the preformances are excellent. There are a few times where the lead vocalist's singing isnt right on spot, but those are just a few songs and still sound good. You try to sing and play cello at the same time. Anyways, this was a very good album and if you are a fan of Rasputina, I recommend you purchase it.

  • Radical Recital royaly rules
    author: Aaron lamb

    Radical Recital royaly rules! Rasputina live really are on another world...it's good to take trips there!

  • What were you expecting?
    author: Tara

    Of course this CD is perfect! Just like their recitals.

  • so... did hitler have one ball or what?
    author: sjk

    if your a raspy fan or new to their music, this cd will give you a wonderful over view of their music plus the chance to hear the energy that is so typical of their live shows (and melora's great intros to the songs, example above). it's well worth the wait, (even for me who was at the recording) and money well spent!

  • Excellent recording
    author: Megan

    I attended the show where this recording was made and I think the sound quality is excellent for a live recording (due in part to the wonderful acoustics at Mr. Small's theatre). It was a very entertaining show, the band put on a great performance, and this CD captures that quite well. It includes Melora's witty introductions to each song, and it also includes a rare cover of "Barracuda." It is becoming one of my favorite CDs as I play it over and over again.

  • author: mark daigle

    Having never seen Rasputina live, this cd presented the trio just as I had imagined they would be: imaginative, devious, compelling & naughty. A wonderful recording and a lively show.

  • Stunning!
    author: troutfishing

    This is long overdue but well worth the wait. A beautiful recording, capturing everything that makes Rasputina so amazing to see live. Very, very cool!

  • AMAZING!! I Was there!!!!
    author: joy

    I have seen RASPUTINA a few times now and they just keep getting better!!!!!! Thank you for the RADICAL RECITAL!!!! You have captured them live and they are much better and more interesting live than on CD! The covers are ALSO INTERESTING THE CHOICES THIS TIME TO DO barracuda FROM HEART!!!!! awesome!!! AMAZING... GREAT CD!

  • Positively Radical!
    author: Miss Lauren A.

    What can I say? The CD hasn't left my stereo since I recieved it three weeks ago. Melora's in between song banter was brilliant and the music was, as always, Raspurific! The sound qulity was excellent. It made me feel like I was sitting right under Melora, feeling the vibration of melodic cello-ing all around me. I enjoyed hearing Barracuda, for I had never heard them play it before. And I must say I think I like it more than the original (though I do so love the Heart). Over all, I think it is one of thier best CD's because it took songs from every album and meshed them together in a beautiful 19 track long mystically celloforic set!

  • Excellent quality CD
    author: Nic_C

    I'm so pleased with this CD (almost makes up for living in the UK and never getting to see Rasputina live myself...). A great quality live recording, with plenty of crowd atmosphere (but not intrusively so). The setlist draws on a broad range of Raspy material, and while the trend is towards the more rocky/distorted tracks, there's no shortage of more reflective moments.

  • Wonderful CD
    author: Amy

    I truly enjoyed this CD by Rasputina. I love having all the commentary by Melora, it adds so much more to the experience of listening to the music. It is just like attending one of their concerts.

  • author: Caitlin Chamberlain

    Rasputina shines through once again with an amazing set. This cd is quite reminiscent of the recital I attended in Baltimore, MD. and now I can relive the glory over and over. As one of the most original musical groups around, Rasputina does not disappoint on A Radical Recital. There's classics from all their albums, peppered with a few unlikely covers, such as Heart's Barracuda and Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll, along with Melora's witty and humourous intros to all the songs. Also adding a very cool effect is Jonathan TeBeest's percussion, giving more of that "unplugged" feel. Being able to have a live recording of some of my favourite Rasputina songs and having that different twist on them is a novelty that I don't think will be wearing off, it is truly amazing. A Radical Recital is a must have for all fans, new and old alike!

  • Love the version of Barracuda!!!
    author: Stephen

    The cd was great reminder of how good they are in concert. Love the remarks made by Malora. The only thing missing was the antics of the drummer. Perhaps they'll release a video of their recitals at some point in time. Keep up the excellent work!!

  • A Lively Live Romp
    author: Bean

    Rasputina's first live CD is a collection of witty songs, witty banter, and witty style. This CD shows their true fashion during a concert: their thought process, their reaction to the crowd, and their inspiration for the material. This sure isn’t a made-for-recording-rendition where all the songs are verbatim from the albums with a slight hint of a crusty commentary. Radical Recital comprises of Great form and instrumentation, great packaging, and great Lyrics. Something for the fans, but distinct and put together well enough to introduce new people and share what is some of the most unique and inspiring musicians we have around today.

  • Excellent for a live album!
    author: Ross

    Well, I'm not a big fan of live albums, but then Rasputina isn't your normal live band (can't wait to see them at the Troubador this week!!) The sound is great, Melora's intros are entertaining, and of course, I had to have "Barracuda" (even if the lyrics are hysterically wrong!)

  • of course its good
    author: dutchess of darkness

    ive been to several rasputina shows, and was always impressed by the flawless performance and high level of energy whilst sitting down the whole time! thats talent, and thank god they put it on a high quality cd with a great mix of songs spanning all the albums.

  • Excellent live CD!
    author: Black Ann

    This CD was well worth the money. It is an excellent live recoding with a perfect mix of old and new stuff, as well as the famous cover songs that they do during shows, including "Barracuda". It's definitly not a disapointment. There are a lot of songs and the "strange and amazing comments" that you hear Melora quip before each song in the live shows. Certainly phenominal! The only thing missing is Sir Mix Alot's "Baby Got Back". Still, NOTHING beats a live Rasputina show, and this CD gives you a taste of that!

  • Excellent live CD!
    author: Mark

    This CD captures a live Rasputina show wonderfully, short of actually being there! The setlist is comprehensive, the commentary is hilarious and strange, and the music is played to perfection! GREAT purchase for the moderate to rabid fan of Rasputina!

  • wonderful
    author: molly

    this cd is amazing, the track list is great, and Melora is hilarious. i would suggest it.

  • exceedingly magnificent
    author: drew

    an amazing cd. the quality is exceptional for a live recording. also a nice selections of songs from the albums. thank you for making this available.

  • Really good recording quality, interesting versions of songs
    author: lori_morninglory

    I definitely like this Raspy CD. I think the recording quality is really good, and this CD represents the fact that Melora always has different vocal interpretations of her songs at each show. This album is full of twists and turns in both song choice and the range of Melora's vocals, which made this a very interesting listen for me.

  • brilliant!
    author: Paulies

    its just wonderful. quality is brilliant & it's just, amazing. i love it, thanks CDbaby :D

  • Rasputina is awesome!
    author: John

    A Radical Recital is true indeed. This CD is great and is a must have. I was at the Recital in Pittsburgh and could not wait for this CD to be released. Every song is excellent and Meloras jokes are hilarious. Melora, Zoe and Jonathon are very talented musicians and I recommend this CD to everyone.

  • Solid Release from Raspy
    author: aardvarkgod

    This CD is as solid as the steel from the city it was recorded live...Pittsburgh. The audio quality is far superior to many live recordings I've heard. Melora jokes & quips about the songs intermittently while both her and Zoe gracefully work on their cellos which resound vivaciously. Unfortunately the encore (including my favorite, The New Zero) was omitted but this is the only place to get some excellent live recordings. Now all we need is a DVD release!

  • i love em so much
    author: Brian

    I love this cd I bought it then I went to their concert in Minneapolis on May 4th, they sounded even better live but the cd is awesome. I listen to it all the time in my car when I'm delivering pizzas!!! I love Rasputina and you should too, genuine artists. Kiss Kiss Kiss I love you.

  • Cover me with Rasputina's covers!!
    author: Felix Allen

    Rasputina's covers keep me warm at night. Any song they cover is better than the original because it's Melora and her magical cello. Great original songs from Rasp's early albums, too. A must have for anyone with ears and a cd player, or a phonograph for that matter.

  • This CD perfectly exemplifies the beauty, emotion and complexity of Rasputina's
    author: Ludmilla

    Rasputina's beautiful, emotional, amazing music is captured in it's raw, intimate state on this wondermous CD. It's a joy for those who have never experienced a Raspy recital to at least hear a recording of one...it spawns a lovely imaginary journey, and is a great dream accompanier. Also, the photographs are very insightful to that secret world of Rasputina where we all want to travel. I love it!!!!!!

  • "A Radical Recital gave me a Melorgasm!"
    author: Andrew Wiertella

    Rasputina's live album is a great way to revisit their live sound (if you've been to their concerts) or to hear what you've been missing (if you don't live on the 'tour trail'). The new lineup enhances songs from previous albums, and includes 'non-album' songs, like 'Barracuda'. Though independently published, the layout and booklet embody the creative spirit that Melora brings to any album. Opening jokes to each song further entertains the listener. Great release, great band!

  • Long awaited live album from Rasputina does not dissapoint.
    author: Morgan

    I've been wondering for years when Rasputina would come out with a live album, and I wasn't dissapointed when they finally did. They picked a good solid performance, marvelous quality recording, with a great set list including their live standard cover of Barracuda, which I don't think they've released yet elsewhere. Huge bonus for those who love Melora's betwixt song banter. While not all cuts feel a whole lot different from the album versions, the CD definately reminded me of being at a great Rasputina concert.

  • This cd was excellent, from all the songs to the sound quality.
    author: trininity

    This album was great. The sound quality was excellent for being a live cd. It is packed with great songs from each album and very amusing things said by melora. I love this cd, it is perfect for any rasputina fan.

  • An Xtraordinary Xperience!
    author: Tina

    Wow! Stellar performance! Wow! Brilliant commentary! Wow! Excellent sound quailty! Wow! I could hardly be more impressed. . .Definitely one of the ten album I'd chose if I had to leave town in a *snap*. ;) Thank you ever so much, An Adoring North-Eastern PA Fan

  • Rasputina from CD Baby rules big time
    author: Andrew Fenner

    My long time, all time favorite band...and I got their live CD the day they launched their current tour. What could be better.

  • Awesome Awesome Awesome
    author: Sherry

    Another incredible recording from the hottest band eva! Thanks guys.

  • Why are you reading this? BUY IT!
    author: Wolfkiller

    Being I'm a huge Rasputina fan, I'm obviously biased about this CD. That aside, the recording quality was great which alot of live CDs seem to lack sometimes. There was a good selection of songs from all of their past releases which will please fans both old and new. Melora's interaction with the crowd was also included, making the experience that much better for anyone who hasn't had a chance to see them in person. If you're a Rasputina fan, do yourself a favor and pick this up. If you have no clue who Rasputina is, buy it anyways! It's a good start if you'd like to check them out since it's basically a "Greatest Hits", only live!

  • This album will scare the bejesus out of you.
    author: Sealed Human

    To those of you who have closed minds about purchasing this live album, just open them up like a flower in the morning and it will only hurt for a minute. A few of my personal favorites are missing but overall A Radical Recital is an essential component of the Rasputina collection. The delivery of Melora's words in the song intros is absolutely priceless.

  • LOVE. IT.

    The album is RAD. I love it. The quality is great (esp. for live show) and the songs are even better live! They're coming to Portland this month and I can't WAIT to see them now!

  • author: Stacey

    One of the most amazing live cds. it took me back to when i saw them in concert around the same time as it was recorded. ive listened to it non stop since i got it.

  • a fine recital
    author: Ashley

    This is a fabulous CD. If you like Rasputina it's a must-have. They sound great live, and of course Melora's mind-bogglingly insightful and witty remarks between songs are always amusing. The songs sound great live, especially "Rock & Roll"--wow!! I'm a bit disappointed that more of my favorite songs from the earlier albums aren't on it ("Transylvanian Concubine", & "Shirtwaist Fire", for example)--but this CD has given me a new appreciation for the newer songs. Buy it! Now!

  • Even more amazing live.
    author: Jenn from MD

    You have to see this band live in order to really appreciate just how awesome they are. I saw Rasputina perform this set in Baltimore the day after this CD was recorded. It's amazing watching them perform, and I highly recommend going to see them if they swing by your area. A Radical Recital is great! It demonstrates just how awesome they sound live.

  • Rasputina's live shows captured on a CD,WOW ;)
    author: Sir Charles

    Anyone who has seen a live Rasputina show in person knows what a phenomenal force they can be! This CD captures thier live essence!! As well as comments by Melora and a cover song they have only released on this CD. So, if u've seen rasputina live or are a fan and want to see them live, this CD is 4 U =)

  • Another Masterpiece
    author: Seth Drallitoc

    Yet again, another masterpiece! Is there nothing this band can do wronge? A very well made live album, which includes all the things you would expect from leading lady, Melora including witty, between song comments. A treat especially for those international fans who may never get to see a live performance.

  • FRICKIN AWESOME!!!
    author: Jason

    GREAT album!! ALMOST as good as being there in person! :)

  • It's Rasputina, Of Course It's Good
    author: Gelly

    Another totally fantastic CD by Rasputina. The quality is perfect, and its great to hear them playing some of the stuff from their earlier albums. And Melora's commentary is brilliant. Its worth getting the album for her between song words alone.

  • Ok, so I bought it for Barracuda.
    author: Cindy Caton

    Rasputina is my desert island band. The cd is great - sound quality is good and Melora's quips really add. I love hearing the songs live. Great for current fans or as a 'best of' cd for newbies. Buy it now!!!

  • simply amazing. Radical if you will.
    author: Eric

    Awesome sound quality, especially for a live show. A perfect mix of audience noise and vocals/cellos/drums. Rasputina picked the PERFECT setlist for a live cd, I can't think of one song that I love that isn't on here. Their studio albums have been hit or miss for me (love "frustration plantation") but when I see them live it's surreal. This cd captures this better than any live cd I've heard. Get it. :-D
