As the title suggests, AWAKE LIVE is fundamentally a live recording of Josh Groban's smash 2007 album, AWAKE, in a slightly juggled running order. Fans who enjoyed the studio album will likely appreciate how faithful to the originals Groban is on these takes, a testament to his astonishing vocal gifts. Better still, AWAKE LIVE also comes with a bonus DVD. A full live concert recorded in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2007, this 21-track set is both a welcome souvenir for those who saw Groban on this tour, and a fine introduction to his smooth adult-contemporary sound and easy stage charm for those who have not had the live Josh Groban experience.
