Hot August Night (Remastered / Expanded) (2CD)

CD-Charts > Music > Live Albums
by: Neil Diamond

Release Date August 22, 2000
I absolutely LOVE this CD... It is a must have for any Neil Diamond fan. Many years ago I had this on 8-track (yeah THAT long ago, and then on cassette and once more on CD, but my grandson's got hold of it, and being the pre-schoolers that they are, and I needed a new one. It is fabulous. I just crank it up in the car, and I feel that I'm at one of his concerts. My children grew up listening to this in the 80's, and they can sing every song. You will NOT be disappointed with this purchase!

Alison Krauss & Union Station - Live

CD-Charts > Music > Live Albums
by: Alison Krauss & Union Station

Release Date November 05, 2002
This is one of the best, if not the best recorded concert out there. If you can find a SACD or LP copy if this, it is worth buying a record player or SACD player JUST FOR THIS. I'm not even kidding. However, the CD is still awesome. Just make sure if you upload it to your computer, do it lossless. This was recorded using the best mics out there with the audience recored also. Because of this, you hear some crowd noise with an absolutely "you are there" feeling. It's hard to explain, but there is a lot of air in this recording. It's like they recorded the whole atmosphere of the concert hall. I can't recommend this enough.

Mirrorball

by: Sarah McLachlan

Release Date June 15, 1999
I could never consider ANYONE who gave this CD less than four stars and a music lover. My musical taste is rather eclectic and includes everything from opera, new age and Celtic to acid rock (except for rap, some cry-in-your-beer country and hip-hop). This CD is a gem to be prized in any collection. Sarah McLachlan has a fantastic voice and the music to accentuate her talents.

Delaney & Bonnie On Tour With Eric Clapton

CD-Charts > Music > Live Albums
by: Delaney & Bonnie & Friends

Release Date May 18, 1989
This is the BEST live album ever recorded - not just one of the 50 in your Top Ten, not one of the 300 in your Top 100, but the absolute #1 live album ever! Delaney & Bonnie had a wonderful ability to gather talent around them. No wonder Joe Cocker stole this band and Lowell George took the heart of their next band.

However, when this album came out in 1970, Eric Clapton was the only name in the band most folks recognized. Eric is at his best here as "just one of the boys." Don't expect flashy solos, just 3 guitars (or is it 4 - George Harrison was on this tour too?) picking you up and whisking you away.

When "Things Get Better" starts, you'll say, "This is the hottest song I ever heard." Then it gets even better! By the ... Read More:

An Evening With John Denver (2CD)

CD-Charts > Music > Live Albums
by: John Denver

Release Date March 20, 2001
Thanks John for your music, your work and your life. You are gone but definitely not forgotten, and your songs are only getting better with time.

I was fortunate enough to be at this show, most of the album was recorded the night I was there (opening night). In addition to being acoustically perfect the show was visually stunning, e.g. the incredible beauty of the video and images shown on three giant screens behind John brought tears to my eyes several times. This was back before they ruined the Universal Amphitheatre by putting a roof on it, and the views/moon/etc were simply astonishing.

If anyone happens to read this review who had something to do with producing this show, I remember seeing four or five high-end studio ... Read More:
