Riding high on the phenomenal success of A Rush of Blood to the Head, Coldplay is in peak form on Coldplay Live 2003. This CD/DVD two-pack was filmed (on Super-16mm film) and recorded in Sydney's Horden Pavilion on July 21 and 22, 2003, during an exhaustive year-long world tour, and the medium-sized arena provides a fitting stage for the London-based rock quartet, not so grand as to overwhelm the music, but large enough to indicate their large and loyal following, which includes enthusiastic fans of either gender. Especially when played in DTS 5.1 surround, this 90-minute concert is richer, thicker, and (of course) louder than Coldplay's studio recordings, lending a wall-of-sound expansiveness to the band's signature sound, which draws from such diverse influences as Genesis, Pink Floyd, The Verve, U2, and their own unique sonic landscape. "Politik" gets the gig off to a rousing start, and other impressive! highlights include "Daylight," "Yellow," the as-yet-unreleased new song "Moses," and the popular hits "In My Place," "Clocks," and "The Scientist." And while the concert visuals are slick and professional (perhaps placing a bit too much emphasis on singer/frontman Chris Martin), this DVD and CD--the latter containing a truncated 70-minute version of the same performance--are best appreciated for their pristine audio quality. Culled from 400 hours of home video, the 40-minute "concert diary" represents a wasted opportunity, enjoyable for hardcore fans but offering no insight into the band or its individual members. Much better, then, to play the concert at healthy high volume, and appreciate Coldplay in the prime of their young career. --Jeff Shannon

Description

The two-disc set includes a 90-minute, nine-camera, super 16 live shoot taken from their July 21 and 22, 2003 performances at the Horden Pavilion in Sydney, Australia, as well as band commentary, a never before broadcast behind-the-scenes documentary, a special tour diary and the edited audio CD. The DVD and CD will also include two PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED live tracks- "The One I Love" and "Moses."

4 out of 5 stars coldplay live....good background music.......2007-04-10

Coldplay is definitely a solid live band, the problem is, from a production; sound quality standpoint, how do intelligent musicians like this not realize that you need to increase the high end (treble) to maximize the low end (bass)....the way we used to do back in the 80's...the resonance of the bass is greatly reduced without the high end...this is how bands back then used to get that bright, echo-ee, clean live sound...man, i saw eddie money outdoors one october night at heather farms in walnut creek, ca, and his band sounded freaking awesome...bassy, trebly...crystal clear, the sound just cut through the night sky...anyway, when i hear the last two or three minutes of Politik...I'm in absolute heaven...as good as it is, it could have been so much better - along with the rest of the album, with a little bit stronger production / sound quality...This band is way too talented to suffer from sound like this...That being said, this is a solid live album, and you can't go wrong with the cd/dvd combo pak. And by the way, Chris Martin apparently says we're in for a real treat...they have an incredible song in the works that's about to be released...looking forward to it bro...and to you and the band getting back on the road again...who knows, maybe next time you guys come around, i can actually afford to buy a ticket...peace...out

5 out of 5 stars Quality Product.......2007-03-08

I received this product on time, and was very pleased with my purchase. This is a very good concert for those that really enjoy Coldplay and have not been fortunate enough to go to a real concert.

5 out of 5 stars COLDPLAY LIVE.......2006-11-06

I went to a live Coldplay show and this DVD was as spectacular as the live show!! I reccomend this to any Coldpay fan or anyone that is a fan of live music. ENJOY!!

4 out of 5 stars im listen to this genre too.......2006-07-29

coldplay is a great band. this album is for real fans.
the dvd is bangin ya'll
the songs are great and have a distinct sound only coldplay can produce.

4 out of 5 stars Quite good concert but sloppy editing.......2006-05-03

It's always fun watching concert DVD's. For one thing, being a musician, I can actually watch not only how they play the songs but see the musicianship of the band without the benefit of redoing takes and overdubbing certain parts. It's still a bit too early for a Coldplay DVD but still it's quite a good one regardless, it's just marred by the MTV-style editing that I'm very much despising at the moment.

The show combines some tracks from first release Parachutes to 2nd release A Rush of Blood to the Head, as well as 3 non-album tracks. There's of course crowd favorites such as Trouble(with a huge end sing along), the Scientist, Clocks, Don't Panic, Yellow with a beautifully sung intro to album tracks such as Amsterdam, Daylight and Shiver. As for the 3 non-album tracks, I love 2: The One I Love, a big rocker with a catchy ending("sing it to me, oh oh") and See You Soon, a beautiful/melancholy acoustic ballad.

The editing problems are first evident in the Politik intro. While the track itself has that pounding beat, so does the editing and it's incredibly jarring. It reminds me of an old guy trying to get in the mindset of a young person by acting and talking fast so the hyperactive camera is a result of a "this is what the kids want" mentality. Like most DVD's, the lead singer Chris Martin tends to get the most attention. A talent yes but other band members get very quick shots before going back to Chris. At one point I almost thought I saw band member to Chris to band member to Chris rather than switching between the 4 of them.

It would've been nicer if they waited till X&Y came out so we can get Square One, Speed of Sound and Fix You live but that's alright. Knowing the record company, we'll get another one soon.

5 out of 5 stars BOZ SCAGGS GREATEST HITS LIVE.......2007-05-13

JAZZ, BUT NOT RAMBLING, GREAT SONGS AND GREAT INSTRUMENTALS SOLOS, GET IT! Boz Scaggs - Greatest Hits Live

5 out of 5 stars Searching.......2007-05-12

After hearing one cut (Spare a Dime) on a local station, I knew I needed this CD. I know this sounds strong and I don't ever make purchases like this but I'm delighted to have made an exception. This may be one of the best live collections I've ever heard and I never tire of it. The sheer breadth of emotions that are sung and the talent exhibited make this one I will always keep and listen to.

5 out of 5 stars Scaggs Stands The Test of Time.......2007-03-15

If you love Boz, you'll love this trip down memory lane. The band is incredible. Once you've listened to the CD YOU MUST get the live video of this evening. Put it on your big screen, sit back, and enjoy a great concert, in an intimate setting, with Boz doing what he does best!

5 out of 5 stars A nice live intimate session with Boz Skaggs.......2006-11-04

This CD is a live session of an intimate concert Boz Skaggs gave at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. This is one CD where I preferred the live version of each of these songs over the studio cuts. I highly recommend it. The exchange Boz Skaggs has with the audience as well as backup singers Ms. Mone't and Barbara Wilson between songs gives this CD additional appeal, allowing the listener to feel being a part of the audience for the evening. Have a glass of wine while listening....

3 out of 5 stars Not my favorite..........2005-10-10

I'm a big Boz fan, but was somewhat disappointed in this compilation. I've seen him perform in concert at least 5 times and have enjoyed those performances more than this group. Boz is ALWAYS good, but this particular CD will not be one of the ones I wear out from continuous usage!

5 out of 5 stars Great to Hear All those great Voices from the Past.......2007-07-05

I just wanted to confirm what the first reviewer had to say about this CD. To hear Ethyl Merman, Mary Martin, Andrea McCardle etc. singing their trademark songs brought a lot of memories from the mid-centry musical theater back again. The last song by Glynis Johns is especially poignant.
You certainly can't beat the price!

5 out of 5 stars A Good One!.......2006-11-10

This is a very good CD, mostly because it's the original artists. I've had some that were re-recorded by no name artists that were ghastly. This one is a really good one--including the sound quality. If I had one wish, I would wish it were longer!

Incredible stage, amazing music and a very entertaining Phil Collins in one of his best massive concerts ever.

5 out of 5 stars Phil Collins.......2007-02-14

This is the CD any Phil Collins lover must have. It's my favorite!

5 out of 5 stars Suss-suss-sussiudo.......2006-04-10

I am not a big fan of live albums. Not sure why but I found this copy at a yard sale and I love listening to it. The best songs are: feel it in the air tonight, You can't hurry love, Two hearts ( a song that brings me fond memories of roadtripping down to Chicago) and Sussiudo. If you like Phil Collins, you must get this one.

5 out of 5 stars Phil Collins: Serious Hits...Live! (1990).......2005-08-12

In 1990, Phil Collins had been on THE ...BUT SERIOUSLY TOUR, where during that concert tour, Phil Collins had released his first live album entitled, SERIOUS HITS...LIVE! This album, although being Phil's first live album, is his sixth album overall. Phil always had a way with singing in the studio, but singing live is definitely gift for good ole Phil because this album is outstanding.

SOMETHING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO HEAVEN
Studio version from the album ...BUT SERIOUSLY (1989). The album version was just outstanding and it goes right next to this live version. Awesome.

AGAINST ALL ODDS (TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW)
Studio version from the original motion picture & motion picture soundtrack AGAINST ALL ODDS (1984). For years, I had gone on without even listening to this song, but years later, I gave the song another shot and I cannot get enough of it.

WHO SAID I WOULD
Studio version from the album NO JACKET REQUIRED (1985). Just as energetic and fun-filled as the album version.

ONE MORE NIGHT
Studio version from the album NO JACKET REQUIRED (1985). Better than the original.

DON'T LOSE MY NUMBER
Studio version from the album NO JACKET REQUIRED (1985). Both the studio version and this here live version are outstanding.

DO YOU REMEMBER?
Studio version from the album ...BUT SERIOUSLY (1989). Even better than the studio version.

ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE
Studio version from the album ...BUT SERIOUSLY (1989). Both versions are just amazing.

SEPARATE LIVES (Duet with Bridgette Bryant)
Studio version from the original motion picture & motion picture WHITE NIGHTS (1985). The studio version to this song was actually a duet between Phil Collins & Marilyn Martin, but it is obvious that Marilyn Martin is not present on her vocals, but Phil's backing vocalist Bridgette Bryant. Bridgette Bryant's voice is very pretty, but Marilyn Martin's voice was even prettier. But this live version stands right next to the original studio version.

IN THE AIR TONIGHT
Studio version from the album FACE VALUE (1981). Great song, even performed live.

YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE
Studio version from the album HELLO, I MUST BE GOING! (1982). Not bad.

TWO HEARTS
Studio version from the original motion picture & motion picture soundtrack BUSTER (1988). Great song.

SUSSUDIO
Studio version from the album NO JACKET REQUIRED (1985). Great song.

A GROOVY KIND OF LOVE
Studio version from the original motion picture & motion picture soundtrack BUSTER (1988). Awesome ballad.

EASY LOVER (With Arnold McCuller & Fred White)
Studio version from Phillip Bailey's album CHINESE WALL (1984). As you all know, "Easy Lover" was a duet between Phillip Bailey (of EARTH WIND & FIRE) & Phil Collins. Providing the vocals for Phillip Bailey's verses are two of Phil Collins' male backing vocalists, Arnold McCuller & Fred White. Not bad.

TAKE ME HOME
Studio version from the album NO JACKET REQUIRED (1985). Awesome tune.

Phil Collins is just a genius Icon. His incredible voice and great songs inspire his millions of fans around the world. He continues to inspire with this here incredible live album that all Phil Collins fans should have. Make sure to buy your copy of SERIOUS HITS...LIVE! today.

4 out of 5 stars But the video is 5 stars worth.......2005-01-05

In order not to rate two similar products, I will review both of them in these few lines.

The CD is a good compilation of the best of Phil Collins. It contains the real hits of his first recordings (In the Air Tonight, Sussudio, Another Day in Paradise,...) plus some of his contributions to the film music (Against All Odds, Easy Lover,...). In fact it is too similar to the further compilation "Hits".

In order to get the real "live" punch it is strongly recommended to buy to video/DVD. The extra tracks are: Hand in Hand, Hang in Long Enough, Inside Out, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, The West Side, That's Just the Way It Is, Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore?, Colours, and, Always. Colours and The West Side also include two tremendous drum duets with Chester Thompson, exactly in the same way they did in Genesis "Seconds Out" and their live performances. Hand in Hand is also a good starting tune for each of Phil's concerts.

But the fifth star is well deserved for a nearly 3-hour (!) concert. Amazing and powerful. Collins sings, plays the piano and shows that he has been one of the best drum players in the world, remembering his beginning in Genesis. The more than ten players band gives 110 %: "The Stars of Faith" wind quartet, the vocal support trio, Leland Sklar, Darryl Stuermer and Chester Thompson are of the most confidence to him and their performance is marvellous.

If you want to get the best of Phil, it's more or less to get this or "Hits", but if you really want one of "the best live concerts ever", go for the DVD. Phil Collins has never been so superb!

4 out of 5 stars Good From the Heart.......2006-02-01

Don't get me wrong, they looked a lot better in the 80's with stilletos and all that make-up, and puffy hair that could raise any skyscraper, but old Heart is a hell of a lot better than their newer stuff. I thought they sounded like they meant it like: Crazy On You, Barracuda, Straight On, Heartless (my favorite from them). Yep these vixens who were compared to Led Zeppelin as a hell of a rock band, boy oh boy, pretty damn close I might add. Anyways this album kicks serious butt.

4 out of 5 stars WHERE IS STRANGE EUPHORIA?.......2005-05-30

"Strange Euphoria" was the one of the "new" songs on this recording but it was deleted from the CD of this late 1980 release. Call Strange Euphoria" what you want, but it is a cool song and sounds like Ann and Nancy are on a LSD trip while singing. It was a great song which was not replicated on 1997's Whirlygig even though Heart tried.

The cover sports one of my favorite photos of Ann Wilson with the stand-off-ish, jacked up, over-confident look.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction To Heart Before 1984 Hit Sensation.......2005-05-28

Greatest Hits Live originally recorded in 1980 was one of my early CD purchases during early 90s but I happened to miss simply because it was dubbed as "Live" and I thought that was not I had been looking for. (At that time I was looking for Definitive collection of Heart including 80s hits). Time has changed and I happened to uncover this CD from the heap of my dusted CD collections.

It has nine best tracks from their early works such as Dreamboat Annie(1976), Little Queen(1977), Magazine(1978), Dogs and Butterfly(1978), Bebe Le Strange(1980). On the back jacket name of the albums the each tracks are from are shown. Then the album become live recording collection during August and September 1980 tour. Live recording of BEBE LE STRANGE takes place at the stage side where the chat among members before the show can be heard. Interesting intrigue. TELL IT LIKE IT IS is unusually not live but studio recording and became single cut from this greatest CD. And then the ending live performance is LED ZEPPELIN classic ROCK'N ROLL. Alas, it shows their rock spirit.
Yes, it misses PRIVATE AUDITION(1982) and PASSIONWORK material to be the early Heart collection. But the timing for the release was excellent because it was made when HEART was at their artistic height.

Verdict: It is no doubt Heart fans' essential and 70s rock fans' paradise. Showing well how HEART had been during their early prime.
Rating: 88 out of 100. Well-edited (particularly Silver Wheel and Crazy On You combination just as their live performance) and consistent. Transition from studio recording part and live recording part has been done excellently.
Recommended for: Every Heart fan. Lots of 70s rock fans and the appreciators of recent Heart releases such as Desire Walks On(1993) and Jupiters Darling(2004).

4 out of 5 stars The Missing Links would make this 5 stars.......2005-05-26

Will they ever release this CD remastered with the 3 missing songs, Strange Euphoria, Hit Single and Unchained Melody?

This was the first greatest hits package ever released by Heart. Heart is my favorite band and I am only able to give this 4 stars because of the missing songs and the missing inner sleeve photos.

Those of us who bought this album when it came out, simply wore the damn thing out. When you enjoy an album like that you should be able to hear it on CD in it's original state. It kills me when a record label omits songs to squeeze the release onto one CD. I would have paid and still will pay the price to have this release in it's original line-up of songs. Kansas did the same thing with their live album, Two For The Show, as did Nazareth and Jethro Tull with their live albums.

Otherwise, Greatest Hits/Live is a masterpiece. Heart have released other greatest hits albums more recently and only one of them really defines the first years of their career better than this. However, I simply must have the 3 songs missing from this album. Won't somebody do something about this!

1 out of 5 stars Bought it for a hit - not worth anything actually.......2004-07-13

Back in the days when I tried to collect the much-reviled (of course I was not aware of it then) hits of the pre-Nirvana era, hearing the then-unplayed "Magic Man" (reviled by my brother).

it is fair to say that this loud rock hit singles collection really has nothing to offer, being, except for the fairly generic folkie flourishes that make such songs as "Dreamboat Annie (Fantasy Child)" mildly worthwhile to listen to, there is nothing more than amelodic noise in most of these tunes, especially "Barracuda" - whilst "Crazy On You" really was awfully overblown.

The later songs, dating from 1978 to 1980, are mostly live but at the same time even less memorable and more overblown. there was none of the listenable acoustic passages present in these songs as the band bridged whatever distance existed between it and radio. Here we see the first pseudo-macho posturer after Suzi Quatro emerge - though Ann and Nancy Wilson never intended to start what can only be described as a very bad trend for women in music. Even so, they could at least have become a listenable folk duo in any other era.

5 out of 5 stars A Stunning Document of early 80's Journey.......2007-06-15

Awesome sound quality, Awesome performance, Awesome setlist!

This CD also comes with a nice fold out card stock inner booklet with some very nice pictures. All of which I've never seen before (unpublished?).

As for some of the reviewers saying that Steve Perry is reliving the past by putting out the Houston Live 1981 & Greatest Hits DVDs, let me shed some light to this myth. Steve Perry was approached by John Kalodner (A&R Guru) to get involved with these projects and oversee production. There are also interviews where John Kalodner states having lunch with Steve Perry asking him to reconsider joining Journey.

In case you're wondering what kind of clout John Kalodner has, whenever you see his name in the credits of an album/CD, it just simply states:

John Kalodner : John Kalodner

His name is his title. Kind of like- God : God
Don't get me wrong, he's not God, but is held in very high regard in the music business amongst musicians and record executives alike. He put Aerosmith back together in the mid 80's.

John asked Steve Perry to produce and Steve Perry said yes.

NEWSFLASH!!!! Journey is without a lead singer once again. Their website has just announced that Jeff Scott Soto (filing in for the ailing Steve Augeri) is no longer in Journey.

I smell a Steve Perry/Journey reunion, don't you?

5 out of 5 stars had to get cd.........2005-12-29

This cd is a replacement of the Journey-Greatest Live tape that I had found in a music store. I had played the tape so much that it became useless. This cd brings back the Memories of youth,fun,rock and roll. It has all the best songs on it. This is the cd that made my kids fans, I can not keep them away from mine.

2 out of 5 stars Great collection of songs but.......2005-11-20

Captured is better. It has a better "live" feel than this one. I'm just not feeling it with this album. Despite reading most of these (and other) reviews first, I bought it anyway since I like their music. If you don't have Captured, buy that one first.

5 out of 5 stars Great live album from a great band.......2005-01-23

Great melodies, super tight band, great vocals and all live with no overdubs. Most live albums are full of fixes and overdubs but this band was a band that sounded live the way they did on the record but with more live energy. Steve's voice soars. If you are a Journey fan this is a must have. Obviously they were much more than just an 80s pop rock band. They could really play and sing great. Refreshing in a time when so many acts are lip syncing, singing to tracks, or just singing poorly. This is an example of how a great band is supposed to sound live. They made sure they gave the audience their moneys worth. And so does this CD.

5 out of 5 stars another underated super group.......2004-12-26

after listening and comparing this compendium album with others done by groups recognized as great power groups, i was shocked by how well they measure up to the likes of cream,zeplin and santana. sorry to admit that i didn,t even know who their lead player was. neal shoun's work on this album compares favorably with jimmy pages work on how the west was won and without overpowering steve perry's usual superb vocals. if you are only going to own 1 journey album this probably needs to be it. it also shows that, despite what some of us older rock fans believe, a few great groups did really exist in that decade.

5 out of 5 stars The Jersey Boys in their prime........2006-02-25

I have always enjoyed Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons but after seeing Jersey Boys, I was hungry for more music from them. This album includes quite a few of their top hits and my favorite memories.

5 out of 5 stars A Class Act.......2004-07-11

One of the greatest acts in music histroy, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons scored a string of hits between 1962 and 1968 plus a few more with a differnt lineup in the 1970s'. In 1981, the latter incarnation reunited and created this excellent live album.

This album features all the songs you could want: "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like A Man", "Rag Doll", "Let's Hang On", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "Workin' My Way Back To You", "Who Loves You" and "December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)". Evne though most of them are in medley form, they all still bristle with the freshness of the original version. Also, a few great Valli solo numbers are done: "Our Day Will Come", "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "Fallen Angel", "Swearin' To God", "My Eyes Adored You" and an exhilerating version of "Grease". Two new songs are also done: the single "Spend The Night In Love" and the joyous "Heaven Must Have Sent You (Here In The Night").

This is a great live album. Valli's voice is in great shape and the falsetto is still there. Get it today. I guarantee you will enjoy it immensely.

5 out of 5 stars A Live Album For All Seasons.......2004-06-02

Between 1962 and 1976, the New Jersey quintet The Four Seasons had over 15 top 10 hits and a few more that made the top 30. Add that with a few more hits by lead singer Frankie Valli, they might be the most successful American male vocal group of all time. In 1989, The Four Seasons went back out on the road for a reunion, playing to sold - out audiences all over the world. Their concert in Holmdell, New Jersey is the one highlighted here on this live album.

All the hits fans are dying to hear are here - "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like A Man", "Rag Doll", "Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)", "Let's Hang On" and many more. My only complaints are that their 2 big '70s hits ("Who Loves You" and the number 1 hit "December 1963 (Oh What A Night)") and newer material as well as Valli's 5 biggest solo hits, are included in complete versions while the classic 1960s' materials are banished to medley form. Still, they remain some of the best music ever recorded. And Valli's solo spot on "My Eyes Adored You" show that his voice just gets better with age, and the Seasons' harmonies remain beautiful. There are also two then - new recordings that might have been big hits had they been released as singles: "Spend The Night In Love" and "Heaven Must Have Sent You (Here In The Night)".

Overall, a great live show. The Four Seasons remain timeless faces in pop music today. There music will outlast anything by Eminem, Britney Spear, Christina Aguilerra, Ashanti, Beyonce, 50 Cent, G Unit, D 12 and so on and so forth. Get this album today and you won't be sorry. Have I ever let you down?

5 out of 5 stars Can't Take My Ears Off Of It.......2004-04-14

The biggest group of the pre - Beatles '60s' (1960 to January 1964), The Four Seasons were the first group in history to have 3 consecutive # 1 singles, and their career lasted well through 1968. The original nucleus of the group disintegrated in 1971, so lead singer Frankie Valli began a highly successful solo career that yielded two number one hits, "My Eyes Adored You" and "Grease", plus a string of top 40 hits including "Swearin' To God" and "Our Day Will Come". In 1976, The Four Seasons reformed with Valli as the only original member, and scored a # 1 hit with "December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)". After a few more mid - charting singles, the new version of the band broke up in the early 1980s', during which Valli regained his hearing. In 1989, the latter - day 4 Seasons reunited and went on tour. Their electrifying performance in Holmdel, New Jersey is included on this cd.

Beginning with a rauous version of "She Loves You", the band has clearly not lost its touch. Valli's voice still sparkles like wine, although his falsetto his died down a bit. He sounds young and alive on "December, 1963", "My Eyes Adored You" and "Our Day Will Come". The rest of the group's harmonies shine throughout the cd, especially on the clsoing medley and the closing chorus on "My Eyes Adored You". Also included are two new recordings not available anywhere else: "Spend The Night In Love" and "Heaven Must Have Sent You (Here In The Night)". Both are great songs in vain of the 1960s' charttoppers. And original member and songwriter Bob Gaudio pops up onstage for all to brief a moment.

This cd showcases that after over 30 years, the group is still one of the finest acts out there. This was also the first Four Seasons cd I ever bought, so it does hold a lot of emotional value for me. Classic.

5 out of 5 stars Workin' My Way Back to You, Babe!.......2002-06-11

Wow! This is such a great album. It is so full of energy and the songs from the past. You see the list of songs on Amazon's list. It's all the 4 Season biggies. Play it LOUD, in the car. It'll rev you up. Sing along with the oldies. The medleys are great, too. The "20" songs include the medleys. There are only xxx tracks, but 20 songs in all. On a scale of 1 - 5, this album is at least a 10 or better.

Right now (May 2007), there is a musical out there called "Jersey Boys". It's about the life of Franki Valli and the 4 Seasons and has a lot of these songs in it. I just saw it in Manhattan. If you get a chance, see it. It's excellent and the music (this music) will have you clapping and stomping.

1 out of 5 stars Fans of them must have TIN ears........2007-07-10

You know the first couple songs around you think that they have some pretty good party tunes, then you realise all of their music sounds EXACTLY the same. These guys have no place amongst other hip-hop legends like Pac, Biggie & Nas. If you heard at least 3 of their songs, then you've heard everything that they've made because their style is not diverse at all. The same speedo tempo, the same topics, seriously these guys have like 200 songs about the same thing. Hate if you want I'm speaking the truth.

5 out of 5 stars I have to agree with the other guy..........2005-10-01

2 Live Crew STARTED Hard-Core RAP period. Before the Ghetto Boys before Eazy-E it was Luke that literally opened the gates for these other guys learning about sampaling songs and trying new music (ie. As Nasty As They Wanna Be) That album was BANNED so they fought for free speech and won that fight. 9 out of 10 good rap artists, I BET, would say that Luke Campbell (SP?) was and is one of the founding fathers of hard core rap!

5 out of 5 stars Three stars??? You have to be kidding!.......2004-02-13

Man, 2 Live Crew is the godfathers of this style! They popularized miami bass and all that. There would be no 'dirty south' hip-hop if it wasn't for them, plus this here got all their hits. Ain't no better buy for your money if you into x-rated, bass-heavy dance/rap music. Well, DJ Boss Pimp is raw too, but really he just ripped the style from 2 Live Crew and mixed it Mix-a-lot. But on the real, Boss Pimp can't hang with 2 Live. But if you want something new that sound like 2 Live Crew/Luke, then check out DJ Boss Pimp.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest Hits.......2001-03-02

The last review gave this disc 3 stars, but, having owned ALL the 2 Live Crew CD's at one point in my life, I have to say that this is actually a 5 star Greatest Hits CD. These songs are actually the best ones the group recorded. If you were going to buy an entire CD, I'd recommend As Nasty As They Wanna Be, or Sports Weekend, maybe even Banned in the USA if you're really a fan. Other than that, I'd just get the greatest hits. It has the cool novelty songs of the first two albums (the albums aren't good enough to buy the whole thing) so go with the G.H. CD and get the handfull of cool song from the first two plus the rest of the classics from their newer CD's.

3 out of 5 stars What did you expect?.......1999-06-25

You know exactly what you are getting when you buy a 2 Live Crew album... This kind of music is why Rockford/Fosgate sold the epicenter. Hilarious (yes, sometimes only if you're a man) lyrics, HUGE amounts of bass, and nothing to think about. Around 1990 or '91, this is the only thing that played over my 4 15's.

5 out of 5 stars Sawyer Brown - Energy, Humor, Fun.......2006-05-19

This CD captures a little of the energy of a Sawyer Brown concert. The audience's response to the music, the band's response to the audience. The only thing missing on the CD is Mark Miller's perpetual motion.

From the upbeat "The Boys and Me" and "Drive Me Wild" balanced by the more serious "Caf on the Corner" and "All These Years" this is a great mix of songs. You can't help but move to the music of this band. And you're bond to smile a little at the lyrics, especially "800 Pound Jesus". (I just wish they would have included "Betty's Been Bad").

3 out of 5 stars too much crowd noice.......2006-01-11

A great selection of songs, and the band sounds great. One problem. Too much crowd noise. It got so annoying I could not finish listening to the CD. Too bad. Some crowd noise on a live CD is quite appropriate. This was too much, too loud. It interfered with the music.

5 out of 5 stars Sawyer Brown The Hits.......2004-08-10

If you are having a bad day this is the way to make yourself feel great again. This is one of the best CDs I have ever listened too. Don't miss this one.

5 out of 5 stars ~AWESOME!~.......2001-11-14

Everyone loves Sawyer Brown's music. Not even their "Greatest Hits" album can cover all the awesome hits that they have had. Their concerts are great. This album, displays the greatness of their music, with the excitement of their concerts. A must have for the fans. This CD is alot of fun. You'll love it!

It was alright. The mixing is a little off.The sound quality isn't what it could've been,. I wish they would've miked the audience better. I missed songs like "Here I Am" and "Even the Nights Are Better". It just seems kind of "low budget". But Russell Hitchcock is still my hero. He can do no wrong.Keep stirring the heart guys. God Bless Y'all

5 out of 5 stars Great Cross between Old and New Air Supply - Live!.......2004-06-16

The best way to sum up Air Supply's "Greatest Hits Live: Now and Forever" is that this is not your regular live album. This album brings 10 of the best Air Supply songs performed live with the Taipei Symphony Orchestra. There are two studio songs: There is a new song called "The Way I Feel" and a remake of an earlier Air Supply classic "Now and Forever". The live songs are really the pieces that are going to fuel this album's strength. The live pieces were recorded in Taipei, Taiwan in 1995. Air Supply's days as a hit-making machine had long passed for about 12 years now. By 1995, the band still had a solid following (especially outside the U.S.), so by finally releasing a live album almost 20 years into their careers they had nothing to lose. This effort would help continue to keep the existing fan base happy, help some of the old fan base rediscover Air Supply, and harvest some new Air Supply fans.

Air Supply's performance on this collection is augmented a couple of ways. They are accompanied by some outstanding studio musicians - most noteably a pianist named Guy Allison who is going to help compliment the outstanding keyboards already in place by Graham Russell. Allison has played a role in 90s Air Supply as a songwriter too - co-writing the songs "Always" and "Someone". You'll hear the power of the piano and keyboards many of the big name classics that are included on the album. The interesting thing is that the Orchestra doesn't have as prominent role as on other albums by artists who have done live albums with one. The Orchestra's role is perfect making this very much an Air Supply album with a key focus on the talents of the stars - Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock. It will be the combination of Graham Russell and Guy Allison's keyboard and pianos that really are going to steal the show when it comes to the instrumentation - especially on tracks like "Making Love Out of Nothing at All", "All Out of Love", "Lost in Love", "Sweet Dreams"

The trademark Air Supply vocals are on this album. Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock have some tremendous dual harmonies on the songs "Lost in Love", "Sweet Dreams", and on the classic remake of "Unchained Melody". What I like about their version of "Unchained Melody" is how they use the classic Air Supply crescendo to build up the song at the end, nobody does this better than Air Supply. There is a lot of true emotion on this CD, but none comes to life better than in "The One That You Love", when Russell Hitchock shows an elated emotion with a slight chuckle of joy when he sings "we have the right you know". As usual Graham Russell is perfect in complimenting Hitchcock's lead vocals. This is also heard on "The One That You Love". You will hear some classic trade off on the lead vocals between Graham and Russell; noteably on the song "Goodbye" (which is a David Foster penned song, you can hear his trademark keyboard influence).

The two most powerful numbers are the first live song, "Making Love Out of Nothing At All" and the last live song (actually the 10th track since the remaining 2 are the studio cuts included), "All Out of Love". The live version of "Making Love Out of Nothing At All" even blows away the great studio version. Hitchcock again shows how in touch he is with the crowd and music when he sings "I can make all of the stadiums - ROCK!" (emphasis on the Rock). To me the "Rock" blows me away each time I hear it and it helps set the table for the remaining live cuts to have the high energy and emotion you would expect from an Air Supply live performance. On "All Out of Love", when Russell sings and holds the 'of' on "what are you thinking of" - instead of the classic slight pause you hear on the studio track, you'll hear a spectacular drum pattern followed by the significant pause. It's almost like a mini encore during the pause. The drum pattern lasts about 20 seconds and the pause goes about another 30 seconds. It is the perfect ending to what is a most powerful performance by the band. It's also worth noting that "Sweet Dreams" is very powerful number as well - the keyboard intro will just blow you away.

The liner notes are pretty good. All of the lyrics to all of the songs were included. It would have been nice to see on which songs the Symphony Orchestra played a more prominent role. It also would have been nice to put the album references on each song, but the song copyright date is included. I would have also liked to have seen some more photos (there are six - plus the cover photo).

As for drawbacks, the only real gripe I have is that only six of the classic songs are included from the album. Perhaps if they could have made this a longer album, they could have included tracks like "Just as I Am", "Two Less Lonely People in the World", and "Even the Nights are Better". Don't let this drawback deter you, because the later years stuff included is very good. This is a solid Live Album and one highly recommended for your collection. Judging this as a live album, it really does everything a live album should do - I give it the 5 star rating.

5 out of 5 stars The best Live album I've ever heard.......2004-03-21

About 5 years ago I went to an Air Supply concert. It was really good I have to say, and I even got to go up and meet one of the performers during the concert. So after the concert I went out to buy this CD and grew attatched to the music very easily.

The CD starts out with "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All", which is a good beginning to this LIVE album. It is one of my favorite songs, along with the 7 minute, 14 second "Sweet Dreams". That song is really amazing in lengths that it has a huge piano solo in it in which when I heard it in the concert I was completely blown away. Guy Allison, the pianist, has a great talent that really shines in this album, and in particular this song.

Another song on this album that is remarkable is the ever so popular "Unchained Melody". Air Supply did a very good rendition of this song. One of their big hits, Lost in Love is also really good.

I liked the songs so much that I picked up "The Best Of Air Supply" song booklet for Piano/Guitar/Vocal. It shows you all of the chords and recreates the magic of their sound. A great momento if you are a music tracker type of person.

All in all I really enjoyed listening to this album for the past several years and am going to continue to listen to it a lot in the future. If you want yourself some good soft rock/classic rock sound to listen to, this is a great album to pick up. 5/5 Stars for sure.

5 out of 5 stars #1, The Greatest!.......2002-12-21

Air Supply has always and will always be the best. All of their albums are gold. Russell has such a strong and beautiful voice that will just take your breath away. I have seen them in concert every year, and I can't wait until they come back. I know their next album will be as great as every other. I'm looking forward to their new album, which I understand will be coming out sometime in 2003. Keep on rock'n air Supply! You guys are great! Susanne Curro at eiscu2000@att.net.

1 out of 5 stars Highly critical review.......2001-12-26

This is a terrible CD. I like their music, but this particular CD is absolutely awful...
Fro some reason, these guys are out of tune, their voices are shot (another review describes them as being "mature"), they cannot hit the hight notes, and sound like they both have a bad cold or the flu when they recorded this. I think this was a final effort to squeeze money out of a credulous public that did not expect these "artists" or their music to simply be so bad in person. I am embarrassed to own this album, and I advise you to save your money and spend it on something else.
