Summary: BIG Disappointment!!!!
Comment: I have heard this album in its original state on the LP/Vinyl version when it came out in 1981, and might I say, that was one of the best Maze albums of all time. What I cannot believe is that some of the songs that were on the album are not on neither the CD or the MP3 version. I was getting ready to download this classic album onto my i-Pod when I discovered that the "Introduction" and a couple of other songs that were present on the LP/Vinyl version were missing from the CD/MP3 version.
For this reason, I decided against downloading it to my i-Pod. What Frankie Beverly needs to do is re-release CD, and make it so that it is EXACTLY like the original album. If and when he does that, then I'll consider buying the CD then (and then uploading it to my i-Pod).
What a shame Frankie...... You really messed up a REALLY great album.
What a shame.

Summary: MAZE -LIVE IN NEW ORLEANS
Comment: I THINK IN HONOR OF THE 30th ANNIVERSARY. THEY SHOULD RE-ISSUE THIS CD IN IT`S ORIGINAL ALBUM FORMAT (2-CDS & EXTEND FORM DVD), WITH PROCEEDS GOING TO A RELIEF FUND IN NEW ORLEANS. TO ME THIS IS THE BEST LIVE R & B PERFORMENCE EVER.

Summary: Live in New Orleans
Comment: This is the BEST live album I have ever heard - I got the vinyl double album years ago and still have it in my collection (I thank the posters who honestly state that the cd is edited and therefore not one that I'd add to my collection).
Frankie Beverly is one of the most underrated singer/songwriter/ performers ever in my book and even though he is pushing 60 yrs of age, he still puts on a better show than the slew of tween & twenty-something r&b male singers of today's generation. The band is TIGHT and whenever they perform in Philly, I am there with bells on!!
The great thing about this group & this album is the rapport that Frankie has with the crowd; the call & response portions where he lets the audience "sing" in his place and truly the energy that I as a listener can hear & feel just listening to this album.
I'm sure fans of this dynamic group already have this album in their collection and although I'm disappointed that the cd wasn't mastered directly from the album version, "newbies" still can't go wrong in adding it to their collection. This group really is the platinum standard of what an r&b band should be!!
