2 out of 5 stars Why the orchestra? Why not some originality?.......2005-07-13

Listening to this at a friends house just showed my why I wasn't buying this. I've heard the songs before , but better. Whoever thinks that the voices have improved with age must be suffering with something. It has nothing to do with the absence of Chuck Negron, it simply is a lacklustre attempt at re-hashing some old material, presumably to keep the band going, gig-wise, as 3DN were not prolific songwriters.
The production is good, the vocals are...well..there (as they should be from people who have been singing since the mid sixties). I winced when I heard the strained vocals on Joy To the World. 'Never Been to Spain' sounds like it was recorded in a Vegas nightclub-no passion, just the right notes in the right place.
My question is, what did this album achieve? Nothing. If they want to put a couple of originals on, then why didn't they go out and find some more?
The addition of the orchestra...well...c'mon, what's next? A '3DN sings Broadway Hits' or an album of standards, which seems to be the current trend, a la Phil Collins and Rod Stewart.
These guys can sing these songs in their sleep-trouble is-in my opinion, this collection sounds to me like they did.

3 out of 5 stars Okay, but not live..........2004-03-12

Maybe it was just me, but I thought this was a LIVE album. Instead, it's basically a studio recording of 3DN with an orchestra for arrangements. Not that it's all bad, but it seems to be basically the same 'ol 3DN songs with a large orchestra for intros and background. A lot of the familiar favorites ( with a couple of exceptions missing...ie. Eli's Coming) but still a good listen of the old favorites.

5 out of 5 stars Very Impressive!.......2002-09-08

Three Dog Night is back in their best form ever, Even without Chuck Negron they haven't lost a step. Perfect harmonies and a great performence from the LSO. If you are a TDN fan, then this is a must.

5 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2002-07-27

I've always been a TDN fan, but this time they've really out-done themselves! I am 100% impressed. Most guys tend to lose their voices as they get older---not these guys. The vocals sound better than ever (no coincidence that the weaker singer is no longer involved in the group). I hate to say it, but the tracks actually sound better without Chuck. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic new recording of some classic hits with the added texture of the London Symphony. It really brings the music to a whole new level. The two new cuts on the record ("Overground" and "Sault St. Marie") are just further proof that Cory & Danny still have an incredible knack for choosing strong material. Congratulations guys on a beautiful album---I recommend it HIGHLY to anyone and everyone that enjoys real music.

1 out of 5 stars Maybe one day.......2002-07-20

Maybe one day this band will be what it once was. Three Dog Night will never be the same without Chuck Negron.You can fluff it up all you want-- it just doesn't work.

Should you listen to Chuck's new live cd, you will definitely see he does not need the London Symphony.

Hey Danny and Cory, when are all of you going to put things behind you and reunite. You need to grab your spot in Rock & Roll and re-gain your place in history.

There should be a secong coming. DON'T YOU THINK??
