AMAZING! She is so much better live!.......2006-12-02
This CD rocks! This is Sarah Brightman on her Harem World Tour, and this performance was recorded at her stop in Las Vegas. The first two tracks, "Kama Surta" and "Harem Overture" debut from her newest album, entitled HAREM. The two tracks are connected, but in the actual Harem Tour, the full piece "Harem" is sung. If you go to www.youtube.com and type in "Harem Tour" in the Search Bar, you can see live videos. I would prefer that the album has placed "Harem" instead of these other two tracks. The third track, "It's A Beautiful Day", is from Madame Butterfly, written by Puccini. This version is Brightman's twist, which some more pop and some English. It's pretty cool. The fourth track on the album, "Dust in the Wind" is from EDEN, an amazing album. Track 5 is, "Who Wants to Live Forever", and it seems as though Brightman never creates a tour without putting this piece in it. It's a beautiful tribute to Queen's rendition. Track Six is "Anytime, Anywhere", also from EDEN. I'm not really into the Foreign Language - English songs, but this works very well, especially because she ends the song with the classical foreign language. The seventh track is Brightman's rendition of Dvorak's "Song to the Moon", or "La Luna". The track is beautiful! The eighth track is Puccini's "Nessun Dorma", and Sarah masters this beautifully! There is no other soprano I know that can sing this piece one octave up and can hold the ending note for ever!!! Track 9 is "The War is Over", which is followed by "Free", both from HAREM. Track 11 is "A Whiter Shade of Pale", from LA LUNA. It's beautiful to listen to. Sarah's version is very gentle, but has a lot of energy in the chorus. The twelfth track on this album is "Twisted Every Way", followed by an instrumental version of "The Phantom of the Opera" Theme. The next track is "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again", which is extended at the end, in which you hear some men cry out "WE LOVE YOU SARAH!", and she responds cutely with an, "I love you, too." The audience laughs! Track 14 is "Time to Say Goodbye", the duet that made Andrea Bocelli famous, and skyrocketed as the number one single sold in German history! The last live track on the album is "A Question of Honour", from "Fly", which is awesome! The last track on the album is a bonus track, which I don't really prefer. However, the whole album is simply amazing. I much prefer Sarah when she is live. She has a more magical quality! If you love Sarah Brightman, then you will love this album.
ALSO RECOMMENDED : Since there is so much Sarah Brightman to choose from, I also recommend EDEN, TIME TO SAY GOODBYE, LA LUNA, CLASSICS, and DIVA.

Inspiring, Beautiful and The Sweetest Voice!.......2005-08-21
What an album, absolutly beautiful!
We, the fans of this great artist finelly have in our hands a live album, and it's amazing:
-The voice is totaly live, she sang about 24 complete songs in the show, but the album only contains 15.
-Snow In The Sahara is a lovely song.
If you have the chase of get this alubum, don't doubt and get it; It wond disapoint you!
astounding performance.......2005-06-07
an impeccable concert experience that successfully elevates the album to majestic heights. I had long been a fan of Dead Can Dance and the unparalleled work of Lisa Gerrard. When Sarah Brightman ventured into these Middle Eastern sounds on the Harem disc, I thought it was too derivative of the Dead Can Dance sounds (there is even a sample used on one of SB's songs that had previously been used within DCD).
However, experiencing this epic and intensely mystical concert compelled me to realize the individual and unique glory of Sarah Brightman. Also, this concert is so phenomenally entertaining at many levels that I couldn't help but fall absolutely in love with the special magic of Sarah Brightman. Obviously, the expansive Middle Eastern milieu can accommodate more than one angelic vocalist!
I now consider Lisa Gerrard and Sarah Brightman to be geniuses who both warrant goddess status in the pantheon of lyrical greats. To see either one of them perform live is surely one of the most powerful and memorable sensory experiences one could ever have!
Great, of course.......2005-03-18
Sarah's voice and style are terrific, as usual. However, I have to say that her version of Anggun's "Snow on the Sahara" is fairly bland, especially compared to the original Anggun version. Sarah has the chops but lacks soul on this great song. Everything els here is very nice.

Real Patriotism Through Extraordinary Music.......2003-02-26
In the wake of considerable ersatz patriotism following 9/11, I have become sensitive to what I consider to be acts of true patriotism. Recording these very American songs, with a tremendous commitment to showing them in their most pristine and revealing light, is one of those, perhaps small, acts of patriotism that are profound in their ability to show the best of the United States of America. I used the word "commitment" in the above sentence because that is the underlying theme of this entire venture. Ms. Danton sings with amazing clarity of voice and tremendous enthusiasm for the material. Each of these songs is a minor masterpiece, as presented, and the whole album is captivating and deeply compelling. These songs stay with you. I find myself humming the melodies for days. They are, indeed, songs many of us grew up with or have heard for years. So there you have it: 5 stars for the material, 5 stars for the performances and 5 stars for the recording quality.

A live document that proves, without a doubt, they had no business carrying on without their most important members.
Mott Magic Live.......2003-06-15
This 2 disc set showcases a band that rose from the ashes of a former giant. Overend Watts shines as the primary song writer and natural band leader. Morgan Fisher provides depth with colorful flourishes on organ and piano while Dale Griffin is a very strong beater of the skins. This trio rose from the ashes of the mighty Hoople, and rather than feel sorry for their misfortune (losing Ralphs and Hunter), they revel in their own identity while paying serious homage to its past. Ray Major is very solid at carrying the guitar flag vacated by Ralphs, and shines on a sterling cover of the Doors classic Love me two times which is a definite hilight. He is excellent too on old Hoople chestnuts such as All the Way to Memphis and Sweet jane (a Lou Reed Cover). Where the band really Stands out though is on their own new material such as the Great White Wail, She does it, Collision Course, Storm, By Tonite, and Love now. Nigel Benjamin Sounds like a totally new singer not overwhelmed by his predecessor's VAST shadow. Having to live up to Ian Hunter and Mick Ralphs singing skills is a tall order, and Benjamin manages to accomplish this. It is an essential purchase even though there are multiple versions of some of the songs, if only to show the consistent magic this band possessed. Much maligned by critics, this a band that deserves praise for keeping the faith and starting over. This is a worthwhile history of a band that deserved a better fate, it is a hidden gem. Grab it, it will not disappoint.

Mott Drives On - Few Notice.......2000-01-15
Mott after "The Hoople" were commonly mistaken for a public urinal by the press...thus the universally excoriating reviews for anything by the band's last lineup (Nigel Benjamin & Ray Major -nee Smith- in for the departed Hunter & Ralphs). Don't YOU believe the hype. Mott-no-'Hoople' produced two overlooked classic studio albums (long out of print) of cheeky, crafty, and veddy English hard rock. On stage (as on album) the defining characteristics of their new sound were Morgan Fisher's keyboards - rollicking and playful one moment, serene and austere the next - and the knife-edged street-rat tenor of Benjamin, one of the era's most unjustly-dismissed rock vocalists. This bargain-priced 2CD set pretty much collates their four surviving live recordings, USA 75 & UK 76, and surprise! The sound quality is quite good, and the performances rip (save for a poorly-rendered 'I Don't Wanna Discuss It'). It would've been nice to hear a few more Mott tunes like 'Monte Carlo' and their high-energy cover of 'Good Times', but hell, I was pleasantly shocked to see this released at all in 1999, 23 years after their unmourned demise. Value for money and a chance to check out one of the best 'lost' hard-rock acts of the mid-70s.
