Album Review
In line with other Motown releases like the Temptation's Live At The Copa, this set relies heavily on lounge fodder like "I've Gotta Be Me" and "Love Theme From Romeo And Juliet".
The few Stevie hits featured - "Cherie Amour," "For Once In My Life" - are among his sappiest. Combine that with the well-known late 60's live sound quality, and most of Stevie's awesome talents are painfully obscured.
The good news is, Stevie does get to show off some of his musical versatility, playing a drum solo on "Ca' Purange," whatever that is, and stretching out on clavinet during "Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Dah-Day." Also, the LP is about an hour long, so - as Voltaire or somebody once said - it makes up in length what it lacks in depth.
