(2 Customer Reviews)
This double LP recorded May 11 and 12, 1973, and released that same year features a dozen violinists, four violas, four cellos, piano, bass, drums, guitar, percussion, and the amazing voice of the incomparable Shirley Bassey. Officially titled "Shirley Bassey Live at Carnegie Hall featuring Woody Herman and the Young Thundering Heard," Live at Carnegie Hall begins with her biggest American hit, "Goldfinger," and doesn't let up. Starting with a song that euphoric is impressive; few could lead off a concert with their signature tune and get away with it, but her voice is in amazing shape, and she sets the tone as this precious set of material is flawlessly reinvented. That's the Bassey treatment. She hits the audience with the hits. "Where Am I Going" and "Big Spender" from the musical production Sweet Charity, "For All We Know" from the motion picture Lovers and Other Strangers, and "Day by Day" from Godspell were melodies which reached the public consciousness thanks to other artists -- the Carpenters on "For All We Know," and the original cast for the Godspell hit. Bassey just overpowers each memory when she's got your ear and uses the spirit of each song to take flight. The accompaniment is superb, but never gets in the way of the diva. Dusty Springfield titled her orchestrated 1967 album Where Am I Going and Bassey takes the same tune and shifts it to her arena. "And I Love You So" had become an adult contemporary staple at the time, thanks to Perry Como's hit version this very same year, but she dispenses with the pop and injects pure soul into what was originally Don McLean's light folk tune. Add George Harrison's "Something" to the mix, and it makes for a very appealing set. Bassey's interpretations are clearly her own, with the originals or most famous versions finding themselves as great reference points. I Capricorn was one of her albums released before this live set and Never, Never, Never the studio album which would follow; both title tracks get riveting performances here, the album flowing seamlessly. Her on-stage chatter along with another 007 theme, "Diamonds Are Forever," help make Live at Carnegie Hall a sweeping tour de force. It's just a breathtaking live album from a timeless artist. ~ Joe Viglione

Live At Carnegie Hall album
$20.59 Containing 55 tracks on two CDs running over two-and-a-half hours, The Complete Capitol Collection presents all the recordings Liza Minnelli made for Capitol Records. Minnelli was signed to Capitol in 1963 at the age of 17, just after she had made her professional debut in the Off-Broadway musical Best Foot Forward. Over the next three years, before she made her final Capitol recordings at the age of 20, she established herself as a Tony-winning Broadway star, a major nightclub performer, and a TV personality. Her recording career, however, was not as successful, as much because of the radical changes wrought in the record business by another Capitol act, the Beatles, as because making records was a relatively minor priority for her. When Capitol signed her, the label must have envisioned a younger version of her mother and labelmate Judy Garland as well as a potential competitor to rival Columbia Records' new star Barbra Streisand. That's no doubt why Capitol hired arranger/conductor Peter Matz, who worked with Streisand, to do the same with Minnelli on her first two albums, Liza! Liza! ...

Live At Carnegie Hall CD music
$18.29 Norman Petty's studios in Clovis, NM are most famous for recording the bulk of Buddy Holly's greatest sides, but it also recorded a lot of other rockabilly musicians in the late '50s. This 24-track compilation, half of it previously unissued, is devoted to these largely forgotten also-rans. A reason they're generally forgotten is that they're largely derivative, most frequently (surprise surprise) of Holly. Some of the artists, indeed, had significant Holly connections: Sonny Curtis was in the Crickets for a while, Gary Tollett ...

| | RavShmuel Protocols CD (2006)
Live At Carnegie Hall album
$13.89 Rav Shmuel has a beard and sidelocks and loves The Grateful Dead! He does not see an inconsistency between these two identities. Rav, who has taught Jewish Philosophy and Talmus at various Universities, has also toured the USA with Gelfiltefish, his first stateside band, playing sold-out parking lots before and after Phish shows.Born in Brooklyn, Rav spent seven years in Jerusalem teaching by day and playing in the clubs at night. Rav moved back to New York in 2001, quickly becoming a house favorite at The Sidewalk Café, which has produced such stars as Beck, Hamell On Trial and The Moldy Peaches.So what we’re talking about here is a forty-somethingOrthodox Rabbi with six kids who is currently rockingout the East Village’s freshest scene and will soon berocking out the world!
Matisyahu might get all the pop culture credit, being the first Hasidic rapper and all, but his album isn't actually all that interesting once one gets past the novelty aspect. On the other hand, the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Rav Shmuel's solo debut is an immediately likable bit of good-humored anti-folk that doesn't require the visuals -- or even the knowledge that, yes, Rav Shmuel really is a Hasidic rabbi -- to get across. ...
