Yearning for a bootleg-esque live album of a mainstream band? Then “Alive At Last” may be your album of choice.

But after just three full-length albums and a handful of hits, is a live album warranted?

While the band claims “Alive At Last” is for its fans, the band’s commercial success and bankability may be the reason it was made.

Recorded over four nights, the album captures an immense amount of energy and a bootleg feel not obvious in the band’s other albums. At times, Pat Monahan’s vocals are over-the-top and the band’s flub-ups are exposed, but fans will appreciate the humanity in the flaws.

The album includes hits like “Drops of Jupiter,” “Calling all Angels,” “She’s on Fire” and a likeable version of “Meet Virginia” for those sick of the song after its radio overplay.

Two studio tracks, “Ordinary” from the “Spider-Man 2” soundtrack and “New Sensation,” are tacked on at the end of the album as well. Whether necessary or not, many will appreciate the extra goodies.

The live CD with a pun for a title may be panned by all but the band’s die-hard fans.
