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!

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.

AMAZING.......2004-09-02

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

www.misguidedproduction.com

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..

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!...

Marvin the Great.......2005-05-17

Although he really didn't like doing live shows because he was a vocal perfectionist, Marvin nailled this show...I think this album is in the top 3 of all LIVE records ever recorded and released.

Solid, if predictable, live set........2004-08-03

Most live albums have difficulty overcoming their predictability and lack of structure, and this one is no exception. However, Marvin Gaye was a performer blessed with enough mesmerizing talent that many these problems are compensated for. I do wish that he wouldn't run through the medley of his sixties hits so quickly, but the performance of his seventies hits are great, with top-notch renditions of "Let's Get It On" and "What's Going On." Since it was it first solo release since the massive success LET'S GET IT ON, LIVE flew into the Top Ten and proved that live albums could be big sellers as well. While most listeners will be better off with the LONDON PALLADIUM concert disc, dedicated fans will want to own this one too.

Distant Lover!.......2003-11-19

Buy this just for Distant Lover alone. The song itself is brilliant anyway, but the version here is even better than the studio version on Let's Get It On and IMHO the most intense soul track ever recorded; the best singer of all time, Gene Page's orchestra with Ernie Watts on saxophone and a screaming audience whip eachother into a frenzy over that slow, restrained groove. "Do you wanna hear me scream, plleeaasse!"

Peformance ****, Recording has some techinal flaws.......2003-10-28

It's really a lost art. Gone are the days when top flight soul singers toured with a full ochestra. The '70's concerts on the R&B scene benefited from the Jazz era (in this case, the big band era) performers. Believe me, you never hear anything like the Marvin's backup band today.
Marvin Gaye was never completely comfortable on stage. His vocals here rarely rises to the full zenith witness on vinly. But then again by the time of "Let's Get it On", Gaye had adopted a laid-back approach(which latter on influenced Frankie Beverley) to his music and it is very evident on this live recording.
Highlights on the album are "Trouble Man", "Distant Lover" and '60's medley suite. The two big hits are nothing special and pale considerably to the studio versions.
For the most part the audio quality is fine, if not a little "too sweet". But even this new remastered CD contains the same annoying mic feedbacks found on the orignal LP.

Marvin at his best.......2003-09-02

This excellent CD documents one of the greatest singers,songwriters at their best coming off one of the most influential albums of all times "What's Going On". Marvin was abscent from the stage prior to this recorded document some two years. A performer that was particularly parnoid about performing live. What this CD illustrates is the amazing power this man had once he hit the stage. From the opening strains of the overture to the closing of What's Goin On you know you're in for something of a life time. As in added bonus on this cd they added the previously unreleased Flyin High(In The Friendly Sky) Mercy Mercy Me(The Ecology), Keep Gettin It On, Introduction To The Orchestra which didnt appear on the orginal album verison or the orginal Cd verison . Highlites on this fabolous CD Trouble Man, " Distant Lover" Inner City Blues. You know what? the whole cd is so wonderful you really cant pick a highlite. If you did not have this in your collection i certainly highly recommend this it should be in your collection. This is the best document of a genius at work. His legacy will forever live on pick this up.

Product Description

To Motown founder Berry Gordy, the Copa was a destination. The mere concept that a roster of black artists from inner-city Detroit who had a few teen hits would perform there, release albums recorded there and be accepted and return there was a revolutionary thought. And it happened. Marvin wanted to be the Motown crooner, to sit on a stool and purr love songs like Perry Como, Nat and Sinatra. When he got his shot, over the first two weekends of August 1966 during a dry hits period Marvin was game but ambivalent: he chafed at the choreography, prepared little stage patter, wavered a bit during the first set. But reviews were generally good, and Motown sent an eight-track reel-to-reel tape recorder the second weekend to record five shows. Marvin Gaye At The Copa was slated to be released in early 1967, with catalog number Tamla 273, and Motowns art department mocked up a cover. It never happened. The shows were never mixed down for staff review. Marvin never returned to the Copa. Until right now. Hip-O Selects edition represents the best of those shows. Since Marvin didnt do the exact same set every night, now you can feel like you went to every one. Newly and painstakingly remixed, the Select version runs twice as long as what the original LP may have been. Marvin is amped from the opening number, getting the audience involved during How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You), and making the ladies swoon during the sexy Brazilian number, Laia Ladia (Reza). His ballads are breathtaking, especially Night Song, taken from Sammy Davis Jr.s Broadway show Golden Boy. He takes on Sinatra, re-interpreting Strangers In The Night, which then was a #1 hit for the Chairman. The Motown Medleys are also a lot of fun, as they include (brief) live versions of his songs he rarely did live and hits by other Motown artists. The Copacabana Orchestra, conducted by Motowns Maurice King, kicks butt from start to finish.

LIVE IN MONTREUX.......2007-01-10

YOU WOULD SWEAR THAT THIS WAS A RECENT CONCERT. THE SOUND QUALITY IS UNBELIEVABLE AND ANYONE WHO IS A FAN OF MARVIN GAYE WILL BE MORE THAN PLEASED . ITS AS IF HE IS STILL ALIVE.I RECOMMEND THIS TO ALL R&B,FUNK AND JAZZ FANS. IT HAS ALL THOSE ELEMENTS.ALSO IF ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR MARY WILSONS BAND ,ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. THEY LOVED IT!

Keep listening..........2003-08-30

This would be a really good record for anybody, but this isn't ANYBODY,
it's Marvin Gaye. When Marvin Gaye is really doing his thing, he reaches
an incredible level of emotional communication, as demonstrated by Live, the London Palladium show and the Washington D.C. concert that makes up the 2nd disc of the expanded What's Going On. If you really want to understand what makes Marvin Gaye so incredible you need to dig deep the 60's hits and the 70's concept albums and THEN check out
the man delivering it live. I enjoy this album, but if you want to experience the "live" Marvin Gaye, you really owe it to him and yourself to keep listening to him...elsewhere!

Very nice record!.......2003-07-22

Another great example of Marvin's skill in live performances.This anthology comprehends all his hits played and sung with an extraordinary energy and partecipation.

Marvin Gaye Fans Buy This! You Won't Be Sorry.......2003-05-26

Like other Marvin Gaye fans, I didn't care much for his live releases. I almost didn't buy this. That would have been a big mistake. This CD is nicely recorded and well produced. Marvin sounds great and the backup band, especially the rhythym section, is excellent. Included are full length versions of some of Mr. Gaye's early hits, not snippets in medleys. I liked this so much that I am ordering the DVD as soon as I finish typing this.

One of the Greatest Talents Ever.......2003-05-09

I've always dug Marvin Gaye but His Live albums are Hit&Miss with me overall.the one from 73 was Hit&Miss.Live at London in 77 is still the Best but this One is tight to me.arguably the Last Live Collection of His worth getting because the one's I've heard on His Last tour didn't hold my full attention.I enjoyed the Arrangements&His reaction&Vibe with the Crowd.Marvin Gaye just puts so much into His Work&Live you hear it on a whole different level.

Anyway, we can meet him again........2006-09-15

This CD contains the recordings of the live at the Indiana Speedway in 1983. That's the sole information I can get from the sleeve. The stage was huge and the audience shouted louder and the chorus girls sang louder and Marvin himself seemed a little weaker. The sound was sort of muffled with a low-pass filter or something. However, this surely captures Marvin's last days with his great songs after leaving Motown including Sexual Healing.
