Disco de Commodores: “Live [Columbia River]”

One of the truly outstanding live albums of all time. The guys recorded this at the height of their beginning into a supergroup. All of the early classics are here. You will feel as if you are right there back in Atlanta in 1977. The guys are having a lot of fun and it is evident in their live show which has always been a staple of the Commodores. If only they would do a reunion tour (sorry J.D. original members only). These songs are too good to never be heard live again. If you don't have this in your collection, get it soon while it is still available. This is a must have.

This album is truly the best the commodores recording. To define a group or singer to real talent a live recording will tell the truth. The harmony and togetherness of this group can not be found any more defined than with this recording. Truly a real joy to listen to this great cd over and over again.

I will be the first to go see a reunion tour and buy whatever recording that they put out............

This Live performance is a real shocker. I have not heard such a live perfomance in my live. If you know anything about live music, you must have this album. The commoderes demonstrated to the world what performing live was about. Altough this album was recorded in 1977, I listen to it every day on my way to work. The songs Zoom and Easy are the headlines for me. The funky grooves of Come inside, Funny feelings and Slippery when wet are priceless. Lionel is the man who made the difference. Without him they are just an average soul band. To bad he left.

This live recording is,in my opinion, a much more interesting recording than the 1977 outing. Walter Orange, who is three times the vocalist Lionel Richie ever thought of being, shines throughout. Coupled with the live dvd ,this recording stands on its own as a testament that the Commodores are still excellent after all these years.

the Commodores are a Slamming band Live check this out.Lionel Richie was Important to the Band but the Group was solid as well.they give up the goods here.they smoke on fancy dancer.this band did it the way it was suppose to be done on the stage uncut.check it out.
