Jump To: Retail CDs Promotional CDs Bootlegs?

"Live" is one big party, packed with adrenaline from beginning to end, mostly through electric instruments and sincerely emotional vocals. Hanson has made it obvious that when these guys perform live, they have fun. --Amy Barber, The Michigan Daily Online

Live From Albertane was released in November of 1998 to commemorate Hanson's first ever US tour. The CD was recorded at the Key Arena in Seattle, Washington, the original "last date" of the Tour. By the time the tour actually ended in September, the tour was more than three times its original length.

Most editions of Live From Albertane are the same, but there are a few notable differences in other releases, specifically the Taiwan release which includes a bonus video CD (VCD) of four tracks from Hanson's peformance on MTV's "Live From The 10 Spot" in May of 1998.

RARE Chinese release, most likely a bootleg. Unique OBI strip; back cover art is different from every previous LFA release, and the CD art is identical to the front cover art.
