If you've never heard Suzanne Vega, or have only heard the radio hits, this is a great primer. While the above reviewer is correct that the omission of any recent songs is a crime, this ep is a beauty.
"iTunes Live: London Festival '08" includes great trio arrangements of some classic Suzanne Vega songs. "Rock In This Pocket" and "Tom's Diner" are very refreshing if you've been listening to those album versions for years. Also includes a duet arrangement of the first Suzanne song I ever heard, "Left of Center", from the classic Pretty In Pink soundtrack. Of course iTunes has included her enormous hit "Luka", her bread and butter song for many years. The album is rounded out with a couple of Suzanne's most beautiful classics, "The Queen and The Soldier" and "Gypsy". Interesting to hear "Gypsy" sung by a woman, so many years after it was written by a girl. I love this EP, and I love Suzanne Vega. And you should too, so buy this cheap ep and "gift it" to everyone you know. Baby needs a new pair of shoes!
