5 out of 5 stars The Greatest Soul Singer.......2006-09-29

What can I say, Marvin is the best of the best hands down. This is an amazing live album definitely worth buying (if you're a true Marvin Gaye fan). No one compares to his amazing talent. He may be gone but his sensual and soulful music will live on and continue to impact us forever!

5 out of 5 stars Marvin's best live collection to date.......2004-12-21

Again, it's your boy Tim, on the 411 about Mr. Marvin Gaye again (you know I had to do it)...

I was meaning to post something about this great live album some time ago but didn't get a chance to and now that I got a chance to, lemme just say that if it came to great live albums, Marvin definitely gets an A+ for his accomplishments in 1977's "Live at the London Palladium".

Recorded during a tour at the Palladium at London in 1976, a 37-year-old Marvin reportedly still a victim of stage fright managed to make the most confident performer seem chummy and tame. Marvin's emotions always take over in anything he does - be it on a song or on an album or live onstage, where he was considered to be one of the greatest live performers of his generation. Is there no question why?

It's a shame though because people always look up to Michael Jackson for his stage dynamics and yet he always rely on "The Moonwalk" or any dance move so he can't sing. Marvin was definitely the anthesis (sp?) of all of that. Unlike Ashlee Simpson and Lindsey Lohan and other "lip-synchers" out there, Marvin Gaye was an actual SINGER. He didn't have to rely on no back track to prove he was GREAT. And back then if you couldn't sing to save your life, you would be yanked off the stage so how come they're not doing it now?

And it's another shame that this album or any other Marvin Gaye album pre-1982 didn't get Grammy recognition! Again, it goes to show you how critics can be so shady.

Anyway, Marvin shines through this emotionally-charged performance. Whether he turns it out in "Let's Get It On" or he takes us on a trip down memory lane on some joints back in the '60s or if he lets us remember how great "What's Going On" was or his great period of making duets or the fabulous show-stopping rendition of "Distant Lover", you know that no other artist in soul or pop music or rock music can come close to his magic.

And just when he's done, he comes even harder with "Got to Give It Up". Off the record, it's one of the greatest dance/funk records of all time. Without this joint, Michael Jackson's adult solo career probably wouldn't have happened (i.e., "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough", "Shake Your Body Down to the Ground")... and it wasn't just James or Sammy who gave Michael a little help. Marvin needs his respect, y'all.

ANOTHER AMAZING CD OF MARVIN'S LOOK FOR MY DOCUMENTARY "AIN'T THAT PECULIAR" THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MARVIN GAYE

www.misguidedproduction.com

4 out of 5 stars The master's best live album........2004-08-03

Forget all of the many poor-quality live bootlegs and budget releases, this is the live album that features Marvin performing at his peak. The disc is at it's most amazing with Gaye's performances of his then-recent hits. Marvin's live renditions of "Since I Had You," "Trouble Man," "Come Get To Get To This," and especially his extended performance of "Let's Get It On" are absolutely phenomenal! The obligatory medley of `60s hits has been wisely revamped by rendering the usually chipper numbers in a slower, more melancholy style that gives the numbers a fresh spin.

I don't particularly like having the incomparable WHAT'S GOING ON songs crowded into one slightly rushed medley (these classics definitely deserve equal time), however the "Save The Children" finale does pack an unbeatable punch. The only real negative to the set is the horrendous "duets" medley, with the awful Florence Lyles butchering some truly great songs. PALLADIUM also contains the full-length 11 minute version of the hit "Got To Give It Up" (#1 Pop, #1 R&B), which is one of the greatest dance anthems to emerge from the disco area. The success of the single helped propel this disc all the way to #3 on the Hot 200, making it Marvin's second most commercially successful album behind LET'S GET IT ON..

5 out of 5 stars GREAT!..........2002-12-27

This is a good concert. Worth getting just for the version of "Lets get it on"(for the breakdown at the end), and all 12 minutes of the stankfoot, booty-bouncin', floor bumpin, grooves of "Got to give it up". Will not dissapoint. Ain't nothin' but a party!...

5 out of 5 stars Always the Greatest!!.......2007-05-14

This is a Levon Helm entry that I missed somewhere along the way. Levon is, without a doubt, one of the great VOICES and DRUMMERS in the history of Rock 'n Roll. His style and presentation of almost thirty years ago is as good as ever and he has not lost his touch, even to this date!!
This CD is a bargain at twice the price! A MUST have for any collection.

5 out of 5 stars Some Darn Good Music!.......2007-05-12

Let's face it, bands don't make music like this anymore. This is old time rock, blues, and R&B. I was pleasantly surprised by how good this is. The recording has top notch sound and performances. It's worth the price alone for Paul Buterfield's harp blowing. All star bands usually don't work out so well, but this one is definetly the exception.

3 out of 5 stars Good Night Irene.......2006-08-09

Bought the CD for Levon's recording of "Irene Goodnight" Best rendition ever.

5 out of 5 stars My toes are tapping! .......2006-05-22

It is a must buy.
Can't wait until it arrives.
All my body cells keep saying, give me more of that music!
:-)

4 out of 5 stars Levon Helm and RCO AllStars Live at the Palladium NYC, NEw Years Eve 1977- Bringin' in a great 78........2006-05-15

It was with much anticipation that I purchased this disc. I have always loved the Band, and I think Levon had one of the greatest voices in "Rock and Blues" music. He makes you believe it when he sings it! He is also one of the all time best drummers in the genre. Any band that includes Levon Helm, Paul Butterfield, "Duck" Dunn, Dr. John, Howard Johnson, etc. is bound to be good.

I think this disc does a much better job than the original studio release (Levon Helm and the RCO AllStars) of allowing the talent of this band to shine through. The addition of some traditional blues tunes (Born in Chicago, Got My Mojo WOrkin, Goddnight Irene) and "Ophelia" from Levon's days in the Band add to the flavor of the original studio recording. The tunes from the original disc sound better in live setting, particularly "Milk Cow Boogie," "Blues so Bad" and "Sing, Sing Sing." Levon Helm and the RCO Allstars are a monster band live, yet they are able to play together as a cohesive unit. It is obvious that this band was about playing music together, leaving their egos at the door.

For some good-time music, buy this disc. Levon Helm Studios managed to pick an inaguaral "vault" release that packages a whole lot of soul into a small container. I can't wait to hear their next release!

4 out of 5 stars Good Live Album from Keith and his Band.......2007-01-21

This is a good album though because it's live it is a little muddy. The songs are all played at a high energy level, the band is bluesy and good, and Sarah Dash, the female backup, is excellent. Richards strains a little on some of the numbers vocally, but his virtuoso guitar playing more than makes up for it. Richards' solo efforts are superior to those of the other Stones members. He has stayed truer to the roots of the jazz and blues that made the Stones such an outstanding band. Listening to this album makes me feel like I'm in a smokey bar listening to a blistering live performance. The sound will not stack up well against a studio recorded album, but what do you expect? Probably the closest most of us will ever get to hearing a solo Keith Richards live.
Four and a half stars.

4 out of 5 stars Talk is Cheap.......2004-08-24

.
This live CD, recorded during the FABULOUS "Talk is Cheap" tour, primarily represents a second recording of the studio album (and a few great extras) with very appreciative crowd noise sandwiched between the songs. Nothing wrong with that, because these are songs that are MEANT to be played live - but the energy and production values of the original studio "Talk is Cheap" album is so extraordinary, this live album primarily speaks to Keith completists. I once read Keith questioned releasing this live album, but there were sooooooooo many bootlegs out of the winos live preformances, he felt his fans deserved a definitive version.

5 out of 5 stars with a chaser, please.......2004-03-22

The only more joyful noise I know than this is the DVD version of the same show. Keith is the living soul of rock & roll, and that night at the Hollywood Palladium he and his X-Pensive Winos had all the power and glory rampaging real good. As my friend put it: You'd have to be dead not to respond to that!

4 out of 5 stars The Human Riff.......2003-08-12

Dubbed "the Human Riff" and widely hailed as perhaps the greatest rhythm guitarist in the history of rock n' roll, Keith Richards often plays in open-chord blues tunings, frustrating those who try to copying him with his unique five-string setup.

On this raw, ragged live album, he is backed by his session drummer Steve Jordan, who keeps a good groove going but apparently has all the imagination of a turnip. He is Richards' songwriting partner, though, and that must count for something.
Excellent second guitarist Robert "Waddy" Wachtel is here as well, as is bassist Charley Drayton, keyboardist Ivan Neville (who plays some great blues-and-boogie piano), and a long-time Stones-ally, saxist Bobby Keys.

Keith Richards and the Winos tear through nine songs from Keith's first solo album, "Talk Is Cheap", as well as a few Stones-songs, including a harder-rocking rendition of "Connection" from "Between The Buttons". Richards' guitar playing is smouldering, he lays down a superb groove all along, and his rough, hoarse vocals are pure rock n' roll!
Highlights include a swinging, sax-enhanced "Too Rude", the #3 single off "Talk Is Cheap", "Take It So Hard", the magnificent, down and dirty blues, "Make No Mistake", Richards' signature tune "Happy", the smoky slow "Locked Away", and the tough, muscular riff-rockers "I Could Have Stood You Up" and "How I Wish". Everything is played with grit and determination, and "Live at the Hollywood Palladium" has that organic feel which the Rolling Stones have had trouble capturing since the mid-70s.

Keith Richards has the ability to rock like very few others, and he shows that on this fine live album. It's not excactly polished, but what do you expect from a live recording of Keith Richards and a band dubbed "the X-Pensive Winos"?

4 out of 5 stars Stone alone!!!.......2001-11-07

Si hay algo que Mick Jagger debe envidiarle a Keith Richards es su carrera como solista, nada comparable. Cuando escuches al Keith, te daras cuenta quien es el que coloca el toque maestro en las canciones de los Stones. Contiene lo mas granado de su carrera como solista: "Take it So hard", "Whip It Up", "I could have stood you up" (de lo mejor del disco). Tan solo 4 temas Stones. "Time is on my side" vocalisada por Sarah Dash, "Connection" del "Between the Buttons" mucho mejor que la version original, "Too Rude", que es muy parecida a la original y "Happy" por supuesto la mejor de todas, una version de más de 6 minutos de duracion (insolitamente sin ningun solo de guitarra incluido). ¿Por que no 5 estrellas?. Hay que reconocerlo, a Keith le falta mucho feeling en vivo. Una verdadera lástima!!!

5 out of 5 stars The basic Les Brown recording .......2007-05-21

For those who were fortunate enough to hear the Les Brown band in person during it's peak years, this CD will bring back fond memories. His was THE dance band during those years and here are all his hit tunes. The recording is not of spectacular quality, but good enough. This is a "must have" for fans of the big bands.

5 out of 5 stars A dance band for the ages.......2007-01-10

Anyone with a warm spot for the dance bands of yore will love this recording--guaranteed. Consisting of 26 tracks from live performances at the famous Hollywood Palladium, this two-disc set of Les Brown's 'Band of Renown' proves that jazz-based dance music could be the best dance music of all.
Featuring sophisticated arrangements and top-drawer soloists, such as Dave Pell (ts) and Ray Sims (trmb), Brown's band stands as an undersung assemblage whose music deserves prominent placement in the constellation of American music greats. The recordings pick up the background, on-floor electricity of the appreciative audience, who must have listened to--as much as danced to--this wonderful band.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Recording.......2005-08-29

This is one of the best big band recordings ever made. Recorded in September 1953 before large enthusiastic crowds, this 2 disc set displays the Les Brown orchestra at its finest. In fact, Les later said no band of his ever sounded better. That is quite a statement considering his decades-long career.

The sound quality of these cuts is outstanding. I bought the LP on the Coral label in 1956 and, even then, was amazed at the clarity of the monaural sound. Whoever the sound engineers were, they really knew what they were doing. This is worth mentioning because during this period of the fifties live concert recordings were an uncertain thing at best. Jazz aficionados may recall the poor quality of the 1955 Errol Garner "Concert By The Sea" recording and the fiasco that surrounded the taping of Duke Ellington's historic July 1956 Newport Jazz Festival appearance, whereby large portions of it had to be re-done later in a New York studio. But that's another story.

When this Les Brown engagement was taking place, nobody knew it but the big band era was rapidly drawing to a close. Within two years or less, Bill Haley and the Comets, Elvis, Little Richard, Ray Charles and many others would usher in the rock n roll era and the music business would never be the same again.

So, from the twilight of an era, we have this magnificent recording to remind us what a big band full of great soloists could sound like. Dave Pell on tenor sax, Don Fagerquist on trumpet, Ronnie Lang on alto sax and Ray Sims on trombone are just a few of the great players featured on these wonderful arrangements. But for me, overshadowing them all is the superb drumming of Jack Sperling. After you've enjoyed these cuts several times - and you will - devote some time to paying attention to Sperling's work. Understated and restrained, his drumming is clearly the driving force behind this band, as a good drummer must be. Brown and his musicians were obviously enjoying themselves during these sets, and you will too.

5 out of 5 stars Les's Best.......2004-10-20

This CD is an exact duplicate of the Japanese import entitled "Concert at the Palladium". This one is much cheaper. Although it was taped in 1953, the sound quality isn't all bad but I'm not sure if it has been digitally re-mastered. Regardless, this more big band jazz orientated cd gives the listener a chance to hear what is probably Les's best band ever. Some of the featured soloists include Don Fagerquist, Ronnie Lang, Dave Pell, Rolly Bundock, Ray Sims and others. This band really cooks, and, because it was recorded live, the spontaneity is obvious. This is a "must own" for any true Les Brown fan even though there aren't many of his old standards on this cd. There is lots of excitement here. It's too bad that the engineers injected the "fake" applause and cheering after and during solos and at the conclusion of numbers.

5 out of 5 stars A "Live" Carpenter Album Performed in England.......2005-08-21

This is the only official "LIVE" Carpenter album ever released (for Japan fans) in 1976. It is a concert that was performed at the Palladium in London. I bought my copy many years ago at what I thought was the premium price of 36 dollars. However, I now see that it is going for nearly 100 dollars!

It is a delightful album and makes me wish I had seen the Carpenters perform live! They sing various long medleys of the songs from their career, with narration between by both Karen and Richard. The set sums up their careers in an entertaining fashion. My favorite track features Richard's Piano Picker followed by a lenghty drum solo by Karen, who was a marvelous drummer! She excels on this number, using several different drum sets, showing her incredible talent.

Yes, it's incredibly expensive, but for Carpenter fans, you will want this album! I suggest E-BAY for a used copy; one might be able to get the album for a better price there.

5 out of 5 stars A Fine Live Concert!.......2003-11-27

The Carpenters are my absolute favorite! I tried getting this CD for years and finally found it on Amazon. com!

This is a great concert and a must- have CD for all Carpenters fans out there! I highly recommend it along with their other live CD, "Live in Japan"!

Besides having been one of the greatest singers ever, Karen Carpenter was also one of the greatest drummers! She proved this with a fantastic instrumental medley that you have to hear to believe!

Richard Carpenter is one of the greatest pianists ever! Listen to him on "Warsaw Concerto" and be blown away!

This CD is a treat for all music lovers, as are all of the Carpenters CD's!

4 out of 5 stars What an usual Carpenters show must have sounded - perfect........2003-06-24

It's very sad this is an out-of-print, because it belongs to every Carpenters and good music fan in the world. Production is amazing (well, Richard recordered and mastered it) and Karen's voice is smooth as usual. There's one thing, though - she doesn't sound like she can easily keep her famous low notes and sings higher than on studio work, except for her solo album. This is an interesting point about her voice: how sensitive does a micro had to be to really capture her magic lows? How long Richard kept on working for it to sound perfect? On and on, the album is rich, mixing hits, a wonderful grand instrumental piece and a long drumming and percussion medley (VERY fun!) along with some fresh and nice quotes by R. & K. showing their sense of humor. Even the lead track by Richard is worth hearing. I wish they had choosed some other songs to record live, but this album shines and make them seem more human and close to all of us.

3 out of 5 stars Buy Now.......2001-09-04

Just a word of advice....If you are a Carpenters fan, and haven't yet bought this CD, now might be a good time to get it. I've been looking around at several import stores who used to carry it, and they no longer have it in stock. So I'm wondering if it might be going out of print soon. I haven't heard anything official or anything, but it seems to be getting harder to find nowadays. Live In Japan (2-CD, 1974) is a better set, but it's probably a better idea to purchase Live at the Palladium soon before it becomes obscure. (Of course, it will probably come back into print somewhere down the line.)

5 out of 5 stars Is it real, or is it Memorex?.......2001-08-08

The Carpenters' unique talents are preserved in a live performance that, like "Carpenters: Live in Japan," allows the listener to more clearly understand what made them such popular and spectacular musicians. It has been said that a hallmark of musical giftedness is how similar one's recorded sound is to a live performance. "Live at the Palladium" brings you front row center for a performance by one of the greatest singers who ever lived. Listen to Karen's voice soar on this album! She fills the hall with her unique, flawless vocal presence, reminding us that her mellow "lows" are merely the foundation of a multi-octave range. Framed by the lush orchestrations and wonderful arrangements of Richard, this album truly affords a picture of the group that brought romance back to music. A "must" for any Carpenters fan!

      5 out of 5 stars That tornado--Johnnie Ray !!! .......2006-05-17

      Want to treat yourself to a great CD full of classic pop vocals? Look no further--this one's IT! This is a very well done recording of Johnnie Ray thrilling his audience with his exceptional charm and talent at the prestigious Palladium Theater in London. Johnnie wowed the audience that night--and on many other occasions, too!

      Oh sure, this recording has the usual minor imperfections that a live recording usually has. For example, there is that "popping" sound whenever Johnnie sang too close to the microphone. But you know what--Who cares? It's great material performed passionately from the heart. In fact, the audience reacts so enthusiastically it's a miracle they let Johnnie ever leave the stage!

      Despite the fact that this is a short performance coming in at just over 32 minutes long, you get the complete and unedited song set and Johnnie sings eleven songs. Of course, Johnnie sings the song he was well known for entitled "Cry;" but you also get a powerfully delivered rendition of "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone" in addition to "As Time Goes By." I also enjoyed the song called "The Little White Cloud That Cried." Johnnie's song set ends with another dynamically delivered performance of "I'm Gonna Walk And Talk With My Lord." Awesome! Johnnie is not remembered the way he should be remembered for all his fine contributions to the arts.

      The liner notes are excellent, too! There are pictures of record album covers and there's a sweet essay from the heart by Johnnie himself. You get four nice black and white photographs of Johnnie including one taken of him singing and playing the piano as he performed this song set at The Palladium. The liner notes also include a review by Jack Marshall of The New Musical Express about how Johnnie wowed them with POW! that night at The Palladium. Lyrics are not written out for us; but Johnnie sings so clearly that you won't need them.

      In short, this CD is a magnificent recording of Johnnie Ray live in concert when he was really beginning to hit his stride. His performance is solid and electric; and the screaming young ladies in the audience are ample proof of that!

      I highly recommend this CD for fans of Johnnie Ray who want to hear him as he sounded live in concert; fans of classic pop vocals and people who want an EXHILARATING introduction to the talents of Johnnie Ray. This one's a keeper! Enjoy!

      5 out of 5 stars Your opportunity to hear Johnnie Ray live.......2000-02-14

      This collection is a live performance, as indicated by the cover title. Johnnie sings some of his most well-known hits to an enthusiastic audience and keeps the energy going. What makes this collection interesting to me is that we are able to get a real sense of what it was like to be there with the audience, listening to this very soft-spoken yet dynamic entertainer. The pacing is great and he draws us in so that we feel that we are there. Of course,"Cry" is included but so are some ballads, as well as some very upbeat, gospel-influenced offerings. I enjoy this album because it is a rare opportunity to hear the reaction of an audience to this very likeable and talented performer. His deference to the audience is refreshing.

        5 out of 5 stars THE BEST LATIN MUSCI HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-11-25

        The Palladium Ballroom on 53rd Street and Broadway was the hearf of Mambo & Latin music and the home of Machito, Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez.

        The Big 3 Palladium Orchestra is the bain-child of Machito's son Mario Grillo. It was decided to approach the Puente & Rodriguez families to represent the music of the Palladium era. Margaret Puente and Tito Rodriguez Jr. were delighted to offer their original charts for use, along with the Machito scores.

        Joe Madera began writing augmented charts to enable the bigger group to perform these pieces of Americana Music History and the ball was now in motion. The Big 3 Palladium Orchestra was born.

        'the most thrilling music by far came from a sensational, relatively new band, called the Big 3 Palladium Orchestra....The Big 3 already may rank as the most brilliant large Latin jazz ensemble this side of Havana.' - Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

        'Recorded live at the Blue Note Club, this group just sizzles. The original arrangements swing in a very sophisticated way mixing the old with the new. A great release, every aspect of the music on the album is sheer class with some real, tasty, jazzy solos...' The Beat

        'the Big 3 Palladium Orchestra, with it's screaming horn section, frenzied rhythm section, and its high-octane, bone-crunching arrangements is, by far, the most hard-core tribute record I have heard in a long time. A guaranteed dance-club floor burner.'
