Taken from a recent New York concert, the Live album covers the best material from Baduizm, finding new life in its hits. Live begins with a rift on Miles' "So What" with background singers cooing "Badu." She goes quickly into a breezy rendition of "Rim Shot." "On & On" starts out as a fairly slow number, until midway through when Badu begins to rap.

...Puff Daddy and the Family "No Way Out World Tour" made its way to the Worcester Centrum last week for two back-to-back shows.

...staging of the concert also left a great deal to be desired. The stage consisted of a large staircase in the center, with two platforms on either side of the staircase: one platform for the DJ and another for a drummer. There were three circular video screens above the stage showing random computer animations of various geometrical objects which had no relevance to most of the songs. Only occasionally did the video screens display music videos that corresponded to the performed songs...
