This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Between three Lilith Fair outings, just as many concert albums, and tours for her own discs, you’d think even Sarah McLachlan would be sick of her live act.
Obviously not, judging by this 66-minute set documenting her Surfacing tour last year. Not that there’s much wrong here; there’s no denying the passion and sheer beauty of songs like Building A Mystery and I Will Remember You, and tracks like Fumbling Towards Ecstasy and Sweet Surrender even rock out in a dreamy sorta way. Still, you’ve heard them all before — and the rest of this ballad-heavy collection just seems like music to light candles and bubble-bathe to. It was a good show, Sarah, but I’ll pass on the encore, thanks.
