Thrice - Live at The House of Blues

10 out of 10

I first came across Thrice back in the days of the "Artist in the Ambulance" - I then made it my mission to get hold of "Identity Crisis", "The Illusion of Safety" and finally "Vheissu". Frankly, "Vheissu" blew my mind. "Live at the House of Blues" represents a kind of greatest hits (plus more) in a way, but made all the more special because of its live nature - and again by the fact that not only do we get the audio of this awe-inspiring performance, but the DVD of the complete live set is a nice touch too.

From the explosive start to "Cold, Cash and Colder Hearts" to the delicate rendering of power ballad "Red Sky", and everywhere in between, Thrice possess a sense of musicianship that is grossly underrated, and shine, absolutely shine through in this special triple disc set stuffed full of more than two hours of quality tunes. "The Earth Will Shake"? Damn right.
