Live as well as in the studio - which provide only a very few, John Legend is one of them. In keeping with the new album "Evolver" is now also the live album from the stop in Philadelphia from his 2007 "The Show Me Tour" in stores. To find it is the best of its first two albums, "Get Lifted" and "Once Again". The quality of the recordings is almost unbelievable. Always bell bright and easy to understand John's voice to the musical support of his band, which is equipped with drums, keyboards, bass and brass (John not forgetting the piano) and the song lends a more emotional note, as the studio recordings. Not to mention the background singers and of course the audience that einheitzen the sound and in addition, the mood of the concert moved unabated into the living room. Absolute highlights should probably "Heaven", "Let's Get Lifted", "Save Room", "I Can Change", "Dance to the Music", the "PDA / Feel Like Making Love" medley, "Used To Love U" and "Ordinary People" be. Whether or emotional rather quickly whether or funky thoughtful - John Legend proves that you can rock with soul as well as with Pop or Rock'n'Roll. Of course, should not be expected that the songs for this as well as on the studio albums you. You get more of something new, but also very interesting versions, with "Number One" or the two Encore pieces "Show Me" and "So High" an even something completely new is on offer and that is what matters in an artist, after all, also a bit on. What's also nice to listen to, is the involvement of the audience. John leaves the amount not sing along at all, that would certainly be fatal at Soul, but also sets the ground a skillfully, especially in "Ordinary People" provides the right for goose bumps. Overall, one can "Live From Philadelphia" described as a really great disc, at least as affected as "Get Lifted" and "Once Again", rather more a, so it is not unlikely that after the nearly 80 minutes, the disc all over again will rotate the players. For fans of John Legend is an absolute must, precisely because "Evolver" has exceeded expectations so missed something, but also everyone else should listen maybe once and will possibly be just the thing for that.
