"I'm gonna sing mostly new songs tonight," Neil Young tells the rapt Massey Hall audience, "...I've written so many new ones that I can't think of anything else to do with them other than sing 'em." He steps to the mic unadorned, distant from CSNY's rippled harmonies or Crazy Horse's yowl, hypnotically nailing 17 tracks on this unreleased 1971 solo set. You hear him tower at vocal heights on the chorus for "Old Man" (then a debuted, brand-new song) and name-check Canada on "Journey to the Past" and North Ontario on "Helpless," much to the Toronto crowd's delight. The sound is impeccable, and the closeness to Young in this spare setting exhilarates--especially his vocal quavering in the high registers, his intricate guitar work, and an overall vibe that exceeds description. And the DVD: Here you catch Young in tightly framed, starkly-lit shots, flourishing in the early years of an unparalleled rock career. Not only that, you get commentary from 1997, a rare window on how Young thinks, how he speaks, his humor. --Andrew Bartlett

Album Description

One of the greatest singer-songwriters of the rock era. Solo. Acoustic. January 19, 1971. Live At Massey Hall, the legendary concert from Neil Young, is finally officially released, and in highresolution stereo, in this CD+DVD package (also as a solo CD). The acclaimed Toronto performance features classics "Old Man" and, in a suite, "A Man Needs A Maid" and "Heart Of Gold" (before they were recorded for Harvest) along with some of his most popular songs ("Cowgirl In The Sand," "Ohio") as well as the most obscure ("Bad Fog Of Loneliness"). Live At Massey Hall is a newly mined rock gem.

Absolutely the #1 Neil Young Album.......2007-07-13

Because of this album, I have become a compulsive Neil Young freak. This is the CD that made me compulsive about the guy (and anyone he worked with). Buy it. NOW.

I have always liked Neil Young, but this album puts him in an entirely new light for me. I used to think of him as a subpar Dylan -- nice tunes, distinctive homey voice, not as prolific. All of that changed with Massey Hall's release. It is mesmerizing. The sound quality is truly audiophile -- how did they DO that? The album is so good it forced me to study Neil and his art in depth.

Having studied his work now, I'd now put Neil Young on par with Lennon/McCartney, Bob Dylan and George Harrison as a singer-songwriter. Most would disagree with me, but I would now put him even above Bob Dylan, for the simple reason that Neil Young has never lost a step in 40 years. Even the "dark years" produced wonderful albums. The songs here are simply stunning. They will literally bring tears to your eyes.

The DVD is worth having because it has a few interesting interviews -- especially the one with the "Old Man."

Neil - what's the deal?.......2007-06-24

Here's the skinny on the DVD: The extra features, such as a clip from Neil performing 2 songs on "the Johnny Cash show" and the footage of Neil on his ranch with the hired hand that inspired the song "Old Man", are pretty cool. But I began to notice subtle differnces in the audio and the video (very subtle - but they're there). Then it hit me: The video is NOT the same performance as the audio track. That's why there is no video footage of the portions where Neil is speaking to the audience and on quite a few of the songs as well. The video of this Massey Hall show doesn't exist.
This is what I would expect from a bootleg. Why Neil Young feels the need to market a con such as these (see the reviews on the Filmore East show) is beyond me. But I still love him...

CD GREAT-DVD, FORGET IT.......2007-06-18

Short, sweet and to the point. The concert at Massey Hall is a Neil Young acoustical classic. A lot of songs that were new at the time and have since become classics along with a few old favorites.

Unless you just have to have everything by Neil Young, just get the CD - you can live without the DVD. Out of 68 minutes, a repeat of the CD, you get - if you're lucky, maybe 20 minutes of poorly photographed concert footage. And what's the remainder? If you're stoned and really get your jollies in watching a film of tape recorder taping the concert, you'll truly enjoy the DVD. Yep, that's the bulk of the DVD - a tape recorder recording the concert with Neil singing in the background. And from the looks of the surroundings, the tape recorder isn't even at Massey Hall, but probably somewhere else.

A truly great CD which belongs in the collection of every Neil Young fan. You can live without the DVD and not miss a thing. Take the money you'll save by purchasing just the CD sans DVD and buy another Neil Young album.

Poor quality video, excellent audio.......2007-06-15

I bought the CD/DVD combination, because I was interested in seeing the concert. Unfortunately, the video quality is spotty and for some of the songs there is no video at all, just a view of some instruments.

The audio quality is fine, and Neil sounds so young! It's a joy to listen to...Enjoy.

CD pefection, DVD rejection.......2007-06-14

Ok, so maybe the DVD isn't a complete reject. The footage of Neil at his ranch and that of the "Old Man" is just fabulous. Also, Neil on stage in that wonderful flannel shirt is precious. That being said, I can only watch a reel to reel tape recorder spinning around for just so long. Talk about space filling!
The CD part of this duo, however, is some of the finest early Neil available. I have a ton of bootleg LPs and nothing comes close to this. The sound quality and play list is outstanding. It's a real gem. Too bad that the packaging is so poor. The cheap cardboard sleeve will no doubt scratch the discs. Inside is a fragment of a newspaper review of the concert (man, I wish I had a time machine!) which the designers of this
CD/DVD package felt we would not be interest in reading. That's a shame.

Classic Neil in his Prime!.......2007-06-03

Whether you are a Neil Young fan or not, this is a 'must hear' live recording for anyone who loves great folk music! The lyrics and melodies are both pensive and mirthful, taking you back to a simpler time when life and love was easier to contemplate. Neil's trademark stiletto-falsetto-like voice was beginning to peak, piercing your heart gently with melancholic honesty and sincerity. I have been a fan of his most of my life and, although I have enjoyed hearing Neil's later albums and how his talent has evolved through the years, (IMHO) nothing compares to his solo seventies creations! Thanks, Neil, for reminding us once again how music can touch our soul and be a soothing constant in this mad, erratic world.

An Intimate Experience With Neil Young Live.......2007-05-27

The Cd opens to the sound of applause. The first song, "On The Way Home" sets the tone for the following 16 songs. Being a huge Neil Young fan, this is the CD you don't want to miss. When he introduces his "new" songs like "Old Man," I get chills. Amazing vocals combined with an adoring live audience, makes this an intimate listening experience that is beyond awesome. If I couldn't be there, this is the next best thing. He finishes the set with a humble rendition of, "I am a Child." His voice is sweet & sincere and takes me back to another time, the senenties. Also, having my own child now, I found the lyrics particularly profound. If you love Young, you'll love this CD.

perfect.......2007-05-27

Beautiful music by Neil Young. Simple and complex at the same time. Perfect.

Real.......2007-05-14

This is probably one of the most honest and true live recordings in my collection; just Neil with guitar and piano. The performance is top notch, and the sound just soars; perfect blend! Some real highlights are the piano performance of "Heart of Gold", the soft and mysterious "Old Man" and of course, the first two tracks, which reach back to where Neil came from with Buffalo Springfield, and where he "currently" was during the After The Goldrush album. The album is a great bridge between the electric Neil and the Harvest sound he'd record later in the year.

Classic.......2007-05-07

Excellent album; sound quality is great, musicianship is solid as always. Looking forward to hearing many more early Neil Young live albums as they are released from the vault.

Every year sees a crop of newly found jazz gems, but rarely are listeners treated to anything as special as this 1957 concert recording of Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane, which was accidentally discovered in an unmarked box by a Library of Congress engineer early in 2005. Until now, fans could only dream of hearing these two immortals play together beyond the three studio tracks they left behind. But here they are, hitting their stride at an all-star benefit concert, basking in the chemistry they had developed in Monk's quartet during the preceding weeks at New York's Five Spot. Coltrane's playing is a revelation. He's both an inspired accompanist and a galvanizing soloist, taking the music to new heights with his bold, brilliantly challenging, and sometimes jaw-dropping phrases, note clusters, and blasts of power. Sharing with Coltrane a newfound sense of freedom following the personal and professional troubles that had plagued them both, Monk is clearly tickled to be in the tenorist's presence, injecting humorous commentaries and otherwise asserting his eccentric genius as a pianist. The material, which was very well recorded by the Voice of America, includes Monk classics like "Epistrophy," "Monk's Moods," and "Evidence," as well as a striking rendition of the standard "Sweet and Lovely." This is music that not only bears repeated listenings, but also demands them--the ultimate definition of a classic. --Lloyd Sachs

essential to your jazz collection, period.......2007-05-30

I can't believe this sat in a box and the library of congress all this time! It makes me wonder what other gems they got in deep freeze. Thank Jeezy they found it. I love listening to this when I drive around town with the windows down on a summer night. Good, good, good. Hear it, love it, get it.

Thelonious Monk Quarted with John colgrane at Carnegie Hall.......2007-05-29

This recording, unearthed after nearly fifty years on old tapes found at the Library of Congress, is a national treasure that speaks to all of us, after two generations. Surely this marks the work as art in its most universal sense: something with permanence, that will (I hope) last through the ages. I understand from a little research that Billy Holiday participated in this same concert, and regret that that recording has been lost! But this one, in my opinion, gets five stars.

Very Nice.......2007-05-25

I've got a small but impressive jazz library, jazz has been a recent addition to my musical tastes. I'm not the biggest Coltrane fan, I prefer Cannonball Adderly and some others less inclined to go wailing away. I do not like Coltrane's A Love Supreme. Monk and Coltrane team up here with a very enjoyable performance. Excellent for background music or dedicated listening. The fidelity is superb, very high quality. Only negative is it's mono. Jazz fans will love this.

Pure.......2007-05-20

It's funny what people find when they clean out closets. The people at Carngie Hall found a jewel and something unique and pure. A great addition to any jazz aficionado's collection. In reality a must have if you like jazz at all.

Amazon.com's Best of 1998

Nineteen ninety-eight: The same year he dances with Soy Bomb at the Grammys, his record label finally issues Bob Dylan's ultimate live document. A classic case of not giving the audience what they want but what they need, Mr. Dylan's oft-bootlegged 1966 gig begins with lovely and supple folk that foreshadows folk music's turn from protest song to introspection. The album's true highlight is the legendarily ill received and rocked-out electric set, with Dylan backed by members of the Band. There are too many perfect, on-fire guitar solos by Robbie Robertson to count, and Dylan himself responds to the audience's angry bewilderment with equal parts menace, grace, and brilliance. --Mike McGonigal

Amazon.com essential recording

The greatest live recording in rock & roll history was--officially, at least--buried in the vaults of Columbia Records for more than a quarter of a century. But no more: Live 1966: The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert has surfaced on two discs mixed and mastered from three-track source tapes that put the myriad pirated recordings to shame. More important, Live 1966 documents a momentous artistic showdown between a willful, inflamed, and utterly fearless performer and his headstrong core following. The Dylan of the mid '60s had made the leap from socially conscious voice of his generation to surrealistic electric poet, a transformation that was met with contempt by a vocal element of his audience. The most telling moment of the recording centers on the standoff: A folk zealot in the audience shouts, "Judas!" earning cheers from the contentious crowd. Dylan responds by snarling, "I don't believe you. You're a liar," then turns to his group, the Hawks (soon to become the Band), and, as the intro to "Like a Rolling Stone" takes shape, commands, "Play loud!" A crucial moment and, time has demonstrated, the correct call. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

Bob Dylan: 1966 Royal Albert Hall.......2007-07-06

I resisted buying this CD for a long time, because I have a bad habit of assuming that overhype = bad. In reality, of course, overhype usually indicates that something is good, and worthy of hype, just not so MUCH hype. I finally bought it, mainly because it was one of the last real holes in my Dylan collection. I never, ever expected it to be a 5-star CD.

But it is. The whole audience/Dylan interaction is every bit as fascinating as its legendary status suggests. In fact, it's all so perfect, it's hard to believe it wasn't planned: the "Judas" cat-call comes right before the very last song; and what is the last song? Only the all-time greatest Dylan classic, "Like a Rolling Stone." Dylan's response, too, is great. It's not witty at all--in fact, it reveals that the "Judas" accusation really caught him off guard. He is silent for about 10 seconds, just keeps on fingerpicking the intro to the song, and then he leans into the microphone and says in an even tone, "I don't believe you." It seems like he had to spend about 10 seconds to even convince HIMSELF that the Judas charge wasn't true! Then he delivers his verdict very calmly. But after thinking about it for another five seconds or so, he becomes more self-assured, and yells, "You're a LIAR!" People think of this concert as a defining moment for the Cult of Dylan, but when you listen to it, it seems like it was really a defining moment for Dylan himself. He may have decided, on that very stage, that he would never turn back from his rock experiment. He was plugged in for good.

So, if you are buying this set for the novelty factor, you'll get you're money's worth. However, the first disc--the acoustic set--is a real treasure, probably even the better of the two discs. I don't own much live Dylan, so I can't compare to other concerts, but in comparison to the studio versions this stuff is really great. I mean, solo acoustic versions of Blonde on Blonde songs sounds awesome, but it is even awesomer than you think. "Just LIke a Woman" and "Visions of Johanna," in particular, are way better here than on the original albums they came from.

All in all, despite my original expectations, this is a 5-star CD. Get it soon.

Must have.......2007-06-09

This is a must have for anyone interested in rock and roll hisotry. Someone earlier said it's not worth listening to multipule times, but I disagree. This is one of my most played CDs ever, every track being a great version of the original. "Like a Rolling Stone" might be even better live, with so much energy from Dylan and the band. Any Dylan fan will love this!

Monumental.......2007-05-04

A Dylan fan is occasionally asked what album they would recommend to someone who is interested but not yet sold on Dylan. With 40+ albums representing a wide range of work it is almost impossible to limit a choice to one album.

But this -- more so than any studio album may be the place to start. You get some of the highlights of his 60's legendary trilogy (HWY61, Brining It All Back Home and Blonde on Blonde). This is Dylan at his absolute peak. He's done other phenomenal work -- but nowhere else is this so clearly heard as in the two sets that make up this concert.

This is arguably one of the greatest single act concerts in the history of rock and roll. It is also an important milestone in the history of one of rock's and culture's more important contributors in the last half a century.

Bob Dylan at his best........2007-03-17

Not only is this a great live album, but it's also a slice of Rock and Roll history.

The first disc is Dylan, acoustic guitar, and harmonica. It's classic folk era Dylan.

The second disc is Dylan backed by the Hawks (later known as the Band).

There was a major backlash by folk music fans, because they didn't want to hear Dylan with electric gutars and drums.

SOme of the songs are booed and one fans even calls Dylan "Judas", which Dylan responds to by finishing the concert by having the Hawks play "Like a Rolling Stone" "f*cking loud".

big dylan fan.......2007-03-14

I got this after loving "Visions of Johanna" live acoustic from "Biography." I like having acoustic version of some classics. "Just like a Woman" and "Tambourine" are my favorites. ("Visions" is better on "Biography") The long drawn out harmonica is interesting. On the second cd, the electric cuts, I think people are looking at this with I
love Dylan rose colored glasses. All it is is an important historical document. By any stretch it is not great music and will not bare repeated listening. I agreed with the crowd even though my favorite Dyan albums are Blond on Blond and Modern Times. It's awful, even the song selection is lame. The few times Dylan says anything he sounds like a stoned nerd. (Also, by the way, from some of the included pictures, I now know what they are talking about when they say that in the Dylan biographical movie a woman is going to play him for a few years of his history.) So anyway, it is impossible to give Dylan less than four stars, but I would buy this only if the first cd might hold your interest.

It's a great performance and all, but ONE freaking hit.......2007-02-15

Are you kidding me?! It's a great performance and all, but ONE freaking hit or remotely recognizable song ("Hanginaround) out of 15?! They don't even perform "Mr. Jones." Wasn't the idea to have this show in New Amsterdam spawned from the opening line of that song? Would be better off as an internet only release, rather than a Nation-wide one.

Are you ready to folk rock?.......2007-01-05

I don't review a lot of CD's - I'd rather just enjoy them, or not. Counting Crows have always been a favorite, but never to the point where I'd waste my precious time reviewing something for an online store.

The disk is well recorded, and the band was very much "on" when the recordings were made. There isn't a bad track on the CD, but in particular, I liked "Holiday in Spain", which always carries a nice, wistful vibe, and is particularly good here.

The real measure of how much I enjoyed the CD is that I purchased it as a gift for another music dweeb (I already had all of the tracks in MP3 format).

If you like the Crows, or live music in general, this album is a worthy investment.

Counting Crows is a great band to see life. Their performances are filled will energy, emotion, and a wealth of alternate lyrics. That being said this CD (while good, dont get me wrong) isnt really indicative of that. Heres hoping the next time they decide to come out with a bootleg album its from a little more noteworthy show.

The brooding Bob Dylan of the 1966 live collection in the Dylan bootleg series gave way to an even more hooded character on the second live bootleg album from 1974. Which makes the jump back to a younger Dylan in this set all the more jarring. Here is Dylan as an eager-to-please 23 year old with nothing between him and his worshippers but a guitar, a harmonica, and, for four songs, his lover, Joan Baez. In marked contrast to the acerbic electric Dylan of the mid-'60s and the tight-lipped living legend of the mid-'70s, here is Dylan as entertainer. Joking and bantering with the crowd, Dylan deals up some favorites ("The Times They Are A-Changin'," "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"), but is already shedding his earnest folkie persona; imagine another artist a mere two years into his career declining to perform a hit on the scale of "Blowin' in the Wind." But Dylan was moving fast. Having completed the last all-acoustic collection of his early years three months before the Philharmonic concert, he would record the half-electric/half-acoustic Bringing It All Back Home three months later. Three of the four acoustic songs from that album are presented here, as are a handful of then-unreleased songs, including "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues," "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" (which was soon given a rock arrangement), and a protest-period remnant, "Who Killed Davey Moore?" Had Concert at the Philharmonic Hall appeared the year it was recorded, it would been seen as a respite for folk fans to catch their collective breath before Dylan reappeared in his rock & roll Rimbaud guise. Heard for the first time decades later, it's simply a testament of his gifts as a showman and songwriter. --Steven Stolder

Another golden Bobby D .......2007-05-07

This is THE Bob Dylan that I cherish - if you really dig some of the eariler, folksy "Times they are a changin" Bob Dylan then this is a great album for you.

The duets with Joan are an added bonus - with a bit of Dylan's wit and humor showing through. We are also treated with a (small) amount of stage banter from Dylan - something which was regretably absent when I saw him in 2003 in concert.

It;s Life and Life Only.......2005-10-12

For me Dylan was always there but I didn't get it. I mean Johnny Cash told me that Bob Dyaln was a great song writer, But I just never got what all the Dylan fuss was about.
Then I check out this cd.
Now I get it. Man do I get it.

"Hope I Never Have to Make a Living".......2005-09-21

This late in Bob Dylan's career, it seems that Colombia is content to release (and profit from) a perennial bootleg album. For diehard fans there are reasons to buy and cherish all of these, not all of them healthy. For your casual fan however, some releases are better than others.

Unlike the other releases, Vol. 6 lacks a distinctive sound that made the other volumes so engaging. First, there was Vol. 1-3 (one release). This three-disc set blazed the trail by making available live and unreleased cuts that spanned Bob's entire career; these discs reveal just how deep Dylan's musical veins run. Vol. 4, The Royal Albert Hall Concert, is essential because it captures Dylan at the height of his creativity in 1966. These two discs pack in an otherworldly, heroine-fueled, Rimbauld-esque vision that is still shattering rock and roll music today. One can feel in these performances the psychological tension (created in part from the times, but more from an artist in the process of shedding skins faster than he can grow into new ones). Vol. 5, The Rolling Thunder Revue, also captures another pivotal era in Dylan's career, this time that of a thirty-something icon's last stab at youth. Again, there is an intensity to the performances, to his voice, to the rolicking play of talented musicians.

Lastly we arrive at this collection, the Halloween Concert. What does it lack? For one, passion. The performances feel forced. Dylan is shaking off the albatross of being a "protest singer," and about to embrace (lyrically) the subjective and personal. When we do get these newer songs, like "It's all Right Ma" and "Gates of Eden" the listener feels this intensity. But the older songs, wich make up most of the set, are not performed with much passion or conviction. Dylan's voice whines and sounds distracted. The short set performed with Joan Baez is particularly disappointing, as all sets with her were. Joan, for all her talents as a singer, stands in too much contrast to Dylan's ideosyncratic voice. Song birds are beautiful and bull frog croaks are beautiful -- but not on top of one another. You can understand, listening to their shaky duets here, why in a matter of weeks Dylan would not allow her with him on the stage anymore.

Perhaps the most interesting aspects of this album are Dylan's monologues and dialogues with audience members between songs. He giggles and bandies absurd sentences, sounding very childish in the process, cannabis induced of course. He plays games, at one point playing the same chords over and over, pretending as though he has forgotten the first words to the song.

For an all acoustic concert Columbia would have been wiser to release something from 1963, a time when Dylan still felt connected to the songs we was performing. Here he spends too much time on material he'd rather leave behind. One exception it his rendition of "A Hard Rains a Gonna Fall," certainly the most intense cut on the record.

All in all, my intention is not to disparage this recording. After all, it is a complete Bob Dylan concert recorded during his hey-day. But considering the wealth of other material available, the previous bootlegs should be purchased before this one. That being stated, for fanatics like me, it is still a must, and beats the pants off "Knocked Out and Loaded" and "Down in the Groove," two albums only a mother could love.

Terrific early Dylan.......2005-01-12

Terrific, eh? Four stars, eh? Yes, I know, Dylan-philes everywhere are already seeing me in hell, but I'm just trying to be fair and balanced. So sue me.

Another legendary Bob Dylan-concert which has been available as a bootleg for decades, the so-called "Halloween Concert" is not quite as accessible (or essential) as "Bootleg Series" volumes 4 and 5, the 1966 and 1975 concerts.
This is strictly acoustic material, just Bob Dylan, his guitar and his harmonica rack, and not everybody who like band-backed Dylan enjoy his earliest solo stuff. And while there are plenty of warm, wonderful performances here, there are also a couple of performances, including an 11-minute "It's Alright Ma", which are mostly for diehards.

But if you're seriously interested in the acoustic Bob Dylan, this concert is a must-have. The sound is spectacular, wonderfully realistic and immediate, and the transfer is extremely clean. The packaging is lavish, featuring a fine essay, numerous photos, and discographical information, just like the previous issues in this series. And there are some truly stellar performances here...104 minutes of music, including a wonderful, sensitive performance of "The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll", an acidic "With God On Our Side", and a lovely, melodic "If You Gotta Go, Go Now (Or Else You Gotta Stay All Night)".
Joan Baez guests on four songs on disc two. Dylan and her fool around on an enjoyable "Mama, You've Been On My Mind", and Baez sings a thoroughly beautiful "Silver Dagger" which is worth the entire second disc.

There are protest songs here, alongside "talking blues", folk, love songs, and humorous narratives. Great renditions of "Spanish Harlem Indident", "Mr Tambourine Man", "To Ramona", "The Times They Are A-Changin'", the definitive solo performance of "I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)"...
And Dylan himself is is high spirits, relaxed, friendly and funny.
This is a must-have for fans of Dylan's acoustic period, and even those who already own the bootleg should consider replacing it. To me, these performances are often better than the solo numbers on the 1966 album, and several of them are equal to the magnificent acoustic songs on "Live 1975".
4 1/2 stars. Highly recommended.

Despite the import of the occasion--an October 1972 night at America's most prestigious hall--what really impresses about Bill Withers's Live at Carnegie Hall is the good feeling and sense of interplay passed between the star, his band, and the audience. From the surpassingly casual opening of "Use Me" and its build through eight-plus minutes and an extended ending to the complexity and occasional joy of Withers's socio-personal "Lean on Me," "I Can't Write Left-Handed," and a medley of "Harlem" and "Cold Bologna," Carnegie is an underappreciated document of what for a moment was progressive R&B. Always one of music's most humble performers, Withers quietly, intensely proves his mettle over the length of this one-time double LP. --Rickey Wright

What? you don't have this album already??? well, what are you doing, stop reading this and go NOW!! or press purchase, whatever you need to do to enrich your life with this essential recording. Worth it just for harlem/cold balcony but the rest is just as good. Thanks Bill Withers.

One of my FAVORITE albums!.......2006-03-30

I love this CD....soulful, personal, and the storytelling is intriguing. Bill Withers has always been one of the most underrated artists ever.

The best live album I've ever heard..........2005-11-24

I'm surprised that this isn't mentioned in the same breath as B.B. King's "Live At The Regal" and James Brown's "Live At The Appolo" as one of the best live albums ever. The energy of this performance is amazing and the crowd is so into the music that the whole disc is just ELECTRIC. The live version of "Use Me" is SO good, with the whole crowd clapping on the off beat. Best of all, after the band jams on the song for seven minutes, you can hear the shouts of "One more time!!" from what sounds like the back row of Carnegie Hall. Bill Withers asks the crowd, "One more time?" and the place goes nuts, at which point the band launches back into the song without missing a beat. This is just one of the moments captured here that can only be described as magical. The appreciative round of applause that Withers gets from the crowd after delivering an amazing vocal on "Hope She'll Be Happier" is also noteworthy. Bill Withers really possessed a natural talent for songwriting; his lyrics are simple and direct but say so much. The middle verse of "World Keeps Going Around" where he describes the dating chain of the narrator with a few different women is amazing. Songs like "Grandma's Hands" and "I Can't Write Left Handed" are incredible lyrically also. This was a great performance where everything just clicked: great songs, great band, and an enthusiastic crowd. This should be essential listening for everyone. The finale of Harlem/Cold Baloney is so awesome. Bill Withers gets the whole place to chant "shake em on down" as he leaves the stage. What an ending! This is really an unsung masterpiece.

Best Live CD Ever?.......2005-03-16

It's very possible. The band is tight. The crowd is really into the performance. The artist gets very personal with background info on the songs. You haven't heard Bill Withers till you listen to this CD. Another reviewer wondered why there was no DVD of this. I second that emotion.

PS-I give this CD 5 Stars. I hit the wrong button!

the best music ever.......2004-09-26

it's as simple as that: if you like good music, the one that comes from soul and guts, you have to get this album.
forget about style, this ain't typical soul music, or anything that could really be labelled. this music comes from the heart, and can speak to anyone, whatever your taste in music is.
if you already own some bill withers material, you're missing the essential piece: his studio work is great, but bill's voice, his sincerity, his sense of humor, his "fire", all those things are really amplified by his live performance, and his funky, funky band, brings the best possible music to fit his lyrics.
so, to every music listener in the world: whether it's a lovely or a sad day for you ,you'll find in this record something to listen, something that will fit your mood. don't you hesitate, this is forever good music, that will never get old.

Amazon.com essential recording

The series of Stevie Ray Vaughan concert albums that began with Live Alive (1986) and continued after the guitarist's 1990 death is far from the catalog-bloating cash-in you'd expect from the record company of a platinum seller cut down at a career peak. Instead, each disc gives a distinctly different view of the Texas blues-rocker's stage strengths. Where Live Alive captured Vaughan and his band Double Trouble in full arena roar and In the Beginning recorded a looser early club gig, Live at Carnegie Hall finds the outfit broadening its range with guest shots from Dr. John and the Roomful of Blues horn section. Rather than overpowering Vaughan's signature tautness, the bigger band makes for an entertaining switch--in effect allowing a fresh look at his R&B roots. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Outrageous playing.......2007-03-14

Of all his CD's, this feautures some of Stevie's best playing, and it's LIVE! The acoustics of Carnegie Hall add tremendous depth to his soulful playing here, and he just rips and rips away without holding anything back. As an added bonus, this was right near the end of his career when he had his head on straight and his chops were peaking. You are really missing out if your collection doesn't include this one.

Great Recording.......2007-01-21

There is such history in this venue, and for Stevie to play there it was quite an extraordinary event. The recording is fabulous in your face guitar,
like they had the mic inside his cabinets, protected by a noise gate. Great, great live performance here.

Carnegie Hall Delivers.......2007-01-17

Live at Carnegie Hall is a must-have for the diehard SRV fan who wants to get a taste of the guitar master's live perfomance electricity. I purchased his Live Alive CD prior to this one and was somewhat disappointed (Live Alive was recorded at the depths of SRV's drug and alcohol addiction and lacked the luster and originality of his previous works).

This, however, was a real treat. His torrential solo on Dirty Pool and collaboration with his brother, Jimmie, on Things that I Used to Do were flawlessly executed and super-charged. I am always amazed at how he could bend and twist notes in ways unheard of, but these two songs were absolutely mind-boggling.

The second half of the CD, where SRV adds the Room Full of Blues horns and Dr. John on keyboards, was a pleasant surprise. Initially, I was skeptical, thinking it would be like "gilding the lilly, but it's a great R&B sound that every SRV fan should experience. In addition, Angela Strehli was outstanding on her fiery vocal on C.O.D.

The only issue that prevented me from giving this a five-star rating, is the muddy sound on the first two or three songs (Carnegie Hall was originally designed for acoustic performances). Don't let this stop you from adding this one to your collection, though.

Barn-stormin'.......2006-11-11

SRV and friends play up a storm. Herein are arguably the definitive recorded versions of "Cold Shot", "Pride and Joy" and "Things That I Used To Do". The horns really add warmth to the sound, but Stevie Ray is front and center. Eric Clapton has said he was in awe of Stevie Ray Vaughan for his flow; the way solos just poured out of him, and there are some blazing examples on this recording.
Yes, the man was a great guitar play, an absolute master of the form, but something that is rarely mentioned is that his singing was as emotive as his playing. He was in great voice on this night too.

Becoming one of my Favorite SRV Albums.......2006-10-26

This album has really grown on me with repeated listenings. For one it catches the band at their peak. They are still the tight trio that put out their outstanding debut album 'Texas Flood'. I only wish their was more of just the band. This stuff is great. While I enjoyed and saw the arena shaking Alive Live type material I have always liked Stevie and Double Trouble at their purest. The other reason why this album has really grown on me is that the second half of the album with the horns and guest stars (including his brother)has a really different sound\groove then any other SRV album. Dirty Pool is fanastic with the horns. My only wish is the both sides were longer. If you enjoy Stevie's early work you will enjoy this album. if you enjoy Stevie live, you will enjoy this album. If you have been a long time SRV fan and don't have this album in your collection you need to buy it now. This is a great and surprisely different album from the greatest guitarist to have ever lived.

The Best Art Rock Band No One Ever Heard Of.......2007-03-17

This is the first Renaissance ALBUM I ever purchased, back in 1977 . It is still my favorite live recording of the band . The band and orchestra work very well together . Annie Haslam's voice is remarkable here . John Camp's bass on Ashes Are Burning and Scheherazade is interesting . Carpet Of The Sun ( the shortest song ) is a song for the ages . It is that good . Skip the other live Renaissance CD's and get this one .

One of the best recorded Rickenbacker bass sounds on record.......2007-01-22

The music is also very good, for prog rock fans. The bassist is a Chris Squire Alumni -YES- and plays beautifully with a marvelous sound.

For 30 years, I've considered this a "top 5" album.......2007-01-19

Even though there were many other great (usually shorter) songs from their first few albums that didn't even make it to this album, "Live at Carnegie Hall" is still pretty much a "best of" for Renaissance up to their 1976 output. They grandly showcase their unique brand of classical rock (complete with orchestra!), which was often heavily influenced by Russian romantic and impressionist composers. Annie Haslam's voice is as beautiful as ever here, and hits a high note at the end of "Scheherazade" that still astounds me. I love the dialogue between her, John Camp and the very appreciative audience. Camp's bass solo on "Ashes are Burning" - sublime! In fact, the whole band sounds tight. This is an absolute treasure for progressive rock lovers.

I value interesting music that is played and recorded well. This cd's rating was based on:
Music quality = 9.3/10; Performance = 9.5/10; Production = 9/10; CD length = 10/10.
Overall score weighted on my proprietary scale = 9.4 ("5 stars")

Been in love for years.......2006-11-04

I've loved this album since I first heard it many years ago. It was lovely to hear it again after so long. Yes, there are some sound glitches on it - but it is a live recording. Microphone squeal adds to the "you are here" experience! Carpet of the Sun will make any day brighter.

Outstanding Adventure.......2006-10-09

This is one Terrific album. Renaissance has a distinctive blend of rock and baroque with strong ties to Rimsky-Korsakov, not only is it great music, but its good story telling "Mother Russia & Ocean Gypsy & Running Hard". "Song of Scheherazade" is one of the most beautiful songs they performed, they do so with the N.Y.Philharmonic and a chorus of 40 professional voices and every time I hear it I'm moved to tears. Annie Haslem's 5 octave vocal range would have most divas seething with envy with what she can do naturally. One problem; something happend during the recording of the 2nd half of "Scheherazade" and tracks are missing or something was unplugged so, I recommend "Scheherazade & Other Stories" For those who never heard this group before. All in all this is still a great album and it is one of a kind. I'm only sorry I wasn't there!
