Product Description
Featuring Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Pete Trewavas (Marillion), Neal Morse (Spock's Beard) and Roine Stolt (Flower Kings). This rare double live CD is really astounding. Not only do you get the feeling of being at one of their sold out American shows, but alsoo the sound quality and musicianshipare first rate. Recorded on their US mini-tour of the east coast, this set includes the best material from their first studio album, plus some very fun and surprising covers such as The Beatles' 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and Genesis' 'Firth Of Fifth'. Slimline double jewel case. 2001 release.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Live Performance!.......2003-11-27

The Carpenters sound absolutely wonderful on this 2 disc set of a concert recorded in Japan in 1974.

Karen sounds great live! I especially enjoy her performances of "Close to You" and the "Superstar/ Rainy Days" medley. We also get to hear her sing in Japanese on "Sing"! She does so with such ease!

There's also a great "Oldies Medley", which is slightly different from the one on their "Now and Then" album from 1973.

I've read that this concert it also available on video in Japan. I really hope that it'll be released on DVD in the US soon!

I recommend this CD to all Carpenters fans! It's a must- have! Their "Live at the Palladium" CD is too!

4 out of 5 stars Carpenters: Live in Japan cd and video.......2003-09-01

I highly recommend this rather rare set of recordings and the video. This is rather rare because it is one of the very few live recordings available that the great couple ever recorded. Since it is a live recording, you know that the songs are still great, though not as "polished and perfect" you might say as the standard recording on a regular record. The video is very good, though since the audience is Japanese, they may not be as enthusiastic as an American audience since many may not be know ing what is being sung or said.
The show is a hurried one though and you wish it would go on as portrayed in one of their tv shows or specials.
The main guitar man, Peluso, is extremely talented, but in this recording, I think he overdoes it on a couple of songs.
Karen is beautiful and her weight appears to be quite normal in the video. The special Japanese children's choir featured singing the song "Sing" in their native tongue, along with Karen is very special.
All in all, I'm glad I have these for my collection. It does make me sad though, that Karen's no longer with us.

5 out of 5 stars Live in Japan Carpenters review.......2003-08-17

Since this is a live recording, you get the more personal feelings involved and some background info. not found just from a standard cd or record.
Richard and Karen will always be the greatest duo ever in my opinion.
The oldies series of songs is fun to hear and the japanese children's choir featured singing with Karen for the song "Sing" is especially beautiful.
This is a fairly rare cd since it is one of the few ever done live and to be recorded live.
You will definitely love it!

5 out of 5 stars Live in Japan is a treat for Carpenter Fans........2002-04-11

I feel Live in Japan is a great In Concert Album. I strongly disagree with the above reviewers that said it is just OK. Karen's Vocals soars and adds an extra excitement to the classic hits without taking away from the original studio recordings. The opening Superstar and Close to You are my favorites on this album. The Oldies Melody contains some great additions to the songs that are on the Now + Then Album. I do agree with the reviewer that said the low point is Pete Henderson on the Oldies Melody. It is a distraction because his singing takes away from the Carpenter Sound. Richard + Karen announcing the Band members at the end of different cuts of the first Cd adds a nice personal touch too. It's worth every cent of the high cost if you love the Carpenters. The back up band does their usual great job and are a pleasure to listen too.

2 out of 5 stars decent performance, limited track selection.......2002-03-11

I love Karen's voice, but I find this collection very disappointing, particularly for the price. Both discs would have easily fit onto one cd. ...

The performance is okay but nothing to rave about. Buy 5 or so of their individual albums and enjoy yourself more.
