Awake Live is a masterclass in the 'event' album, capturing a performer at the absolute zenith of his vocal and commercial powers. Unlike his studio recordings, which can sometimes feel meticulously polished to the point of sterility, this live document breathes with the palpable energy of a massive arena audience. The sound is cavernous yet surprisingly detailed, allowing the listener to hear the subtle hammer-strikes of the piano alongside the thunderous resonance of a full orchestra. It is an album that demands your full attention, moving from moments of pin-drop silence to explosive, cinematic finales that feel designed to shake the rafters.
