Details Lead Performance: Various Artists

As Lilith dives into its swan song, along come highlights from 1998's tour. Artists and genres are evenly dispersed on both discs (smart move -- they're sold separately!): Queen Latifah raps on Vol. 2 and Me'Shell Ndegéocello jazzes up Vol. 3, while seasoned pros (Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris) and rockers (Wild Strawberries, Luscious Jackson) are likewise split. The musical and racial diversity is cranked up from Lilith's tepid, lily-white '97 concert album, for a more compelling, less whiny, listen.
