Of course, gemedleyt (including with Is not No Mountain High Enough of the Supremes and, indeed, Terrell / Gaye and How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You and Is not That Peculiar). Despite great band (five men in the brass section, two keyboard players, four on all forms of percussion, including drums, bass guitar plus Rhythm and very discreet lead guitar, backing three men) are the songs over the studio originals slims - the strings are missing. It is completely missing the extremely sexy, downright lascivious erotic inertia of recordings 1970-73, between What's Going On and Let's Get It On - which is very unfortunate, but that 's gives to the original LPs. Everything is tuned into convincing that people pick up ends and rousing live sound: especially the rhythm carpet swirling percussion set driving in harmony with the strong accents translated horn section ahead the whole concert - and takes especially Gaye's voice with what 1980 already is no longer taken for granted. Individually noteworthy are organ and electric piano from Lonnie Smith, Dr. Groove, and William Bryant II. The first, although he can not really tell here, and that he is actually involved here because of his name. Music connoisseurs of the 80s will remember him as one of the pioneers of acid jazz. The second, because it is indeed held primarily insert sound useful in the band, but in Inner City Blues, he must then but contribute a longer electric piano solo. The savvy Recording technology of the festival adds a rest - a really excellent live sound - added: great style, great!
.... Even if it is actually still an abundant excess drum solo is - a drum solo on a Marvin Gaye recording, Jesus! And .... these cuts, especially on the second CD, and especially in the transition from Mercy Mercy Me to What's Going On, are simply awful from no-follow reasons - Mercy Mercy tears simply from. Was originally part of a medley, the question arises why did not it remain so - or was there a commercial interspersed ...?! For - one star down.
