Title: Not just a live album!!!
Review: Quite apart from the performance, this must be rated alongside some of the classic "live" albums of all time.There are three main ingredients, the crowd who are so clearly up for enjoying themselves, and of course know all the tunes off by heart. Then there's the recording engineer/producer who hasn't attempted to edit out the "liveness' of the occasion.The group sound is terrific. There are false starts, with Dion shouting "let me start this one" at one point, with all the performers coming in at wrong times. All this adds to the atmosphere. Finally, of course, there's Dion and the Belmonts who gave everything. It must have been electrifying to have been there.The real bonus of the CD of course is that unlike the vinyl version it doesn't end on one side in the middle of a song, and you don't have to turn it over! By any standards this is a great album, and if you've never heard it,,, go get!!
