A decent live release from the Contagion tour. The band missed a bit of a trick here - whilst it is nice to have a complete live rendition of the Contagion album as disc 1, they could have made the live show a real treat by reincorporating into the running order the additional songs from the Contagion saga which were trimmed from the studio album and distributed amongst the Contagious and Contagium EPs. Then again, at least disc 2 here offers a decent selection of non-Contagion tracks, even if there is a large overlap with the track selection for their previous two live albums. I'd say that Live and Life is probably the first live Arena release you want to track down, since between the track selection on disc 2 and the full Contagion epic it really does offer a live "Best of Arena".
