Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Although reggae's religious overtones are often overshadowed by the music's ties to ganja and the hippie movement, there are some socially active or religious leaning artists out there. One of the newest comes in the unlikely figure of a young Hasidic Jew named Matisyahu. Singing with a slight ghetto patois, in Yiddish, and even displaying considerable beat-box skills, the New Yorker is at his best when he works himself into fits of righteous indignation and Old Testament fervor (the limits of his vocal range are laid bare when he croons on ballads). The lean three-piece band on this live recording, his second album, is aerodynamic and flexible, able to do the slow reggae groove or rock out with ferocity. After 12 tracks of stripped-down reggae, however, the music tends to blend into one long groove. Nonetheless, there is an undeniable urgency in this live recording that comes through loud and clear, making it a live document of note by one of reggae's most interesting new figures. --Tad Hendrickson

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Misunderstood.
I think somehow the listeners missed the point. It is a parody! Just relax and take it as it is: good parody, sucky music.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Exciting mix of Reggae/Rap/Religion
This was my first introduction to Matisyahu. I got this CD as a gift, otherwise I might never have heard him. I must say that the music was so different from anything else I had ever heard that it took me some time to get use to. Matisyahu's music is like a strong cup of coffee, you have to acquire a taste for it. Having said that, after a few listens to it, I began to really like it. The fact that this is a "live" album really enhances his style of singing, because he interacts with his audience ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Album!!!
There are not to many artists that have an unique sound and keep you wanting more. Live at Stubbbs album has a awesome bass lines and well written songs. If you want something with a different sound and not commercialized then get this album you will not regret it.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Hasidic Reggae? Just as good as fried chicken and waffles!
Admittedly, I thought it was a joke the first time I saw an ad for "Live at Stubb's." I honestly thought it was a Mad TV sketch! However, when I heard him start to sing...I was blown away.

This is an incredible performance. If you've ever bought a live CD only to be disappointed with the sound quality or just the artist's inability to perform live, you have no need to worry about "Live at Stubb's." Matisyahu thrives on the energy from the crowd. You can hear in his voice that's he's electrified ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - It grows on you
Did not like the clapping and the solos but as I said it grows on you
