 The heart and soul of Sublime October 31, 2008
After listening to this album, every time i hear the studio version, i can't help but sing the live lyrics. It's a fun album; it's rare live sublime, a best of.., and a must have
In my top 3 September 15, 2008
This album changed my life.
I heard this album at the age of 14 (I'm 23 now), and I can honestly say it was the album that made me pick up a guitar and eventually become a professional musician.
Though my musical tastes have evolved, the beauty and soul of Bradley Nowell's voice, bumping bass lines of Eric Wilson, and rocksteady beats of Bud Gaugh get me every time. Live is the way to listen to Sublime. For superfans, I would suggest finding copies of "Contact Buzz" and "It All Seems So Silly in the Long Run" to experience the entire shows that this album cuts from.
I really hope Bradley Nowell died at his peak, because to think otherwise is sad for all of us.
I Was There...definitely worth a download September 25, 2007
This album was mostly recorded live to 16 track tape at Komotion, a warehouse/performance space in San Francisco's Mission District in September 1994. The 1st three tracks were delivered as a "triple threat" medley and create an awesome introduction to an underground band laying down serious jams for a happy few dozen sweaty and drunken friends & fans, with all getting their $5 worth. The band would later go on to sell millions of records, but these tracks are true to the loose spirit and incredible live give and take they had with audiences on certain magic nights.

I wish I had a van. Vans are pretty cool. I mean...there's just so much room. And sure, they can't drag real well, but you don't drag in a van. You got subs, and room for gals. And if you're really classy you can get a couple of couches back there and a TV, and you can roll in it.
If I had a van I'd probably be playing this album in it. I kid you not, Stand By Your Van has been in my '04 Taurus' CD player for the last 5 months. That's staying power music isn't supposed to have.
There's something magical about this album. I think it has something to do with the band in general. Sublime was a real band. They were underproduced until their final album, and a lot of the stuff they recorded came straight out of their living room. The problem with that is that their earlier stuff had pretty crappy production. It felt like the music was on plastic. And a lot of their later songs, although good, sounded a bit overproduced.
Stand By Your Van is a perfect blend of good production with that authentic sound you can only get live. Bradley Nowell is drunk, the crowd is singing, a lot of the songs have improved parts. I think this is Sublime at their best. Particularly, the first 8 songs on the album - the flow is amazing, and the live sound tops each and every studio recording.
I'm not the biggest Sublime fan. But I can roll to this album anyday. If you want to hear Sublime, get this.
