All Day Al
As a child growing up my mom would play Al from sun up too sun down I couldn't stand the man lol. If you could only have one album from the man that mends broken hearts this is the joint to have it incorperates many of his greatest and most popular hits with extended versions of lesser known songs into one compact album, producing a "live" album that reflects al green at his very best. It just took me awhile to understand his messages of love in his songs. Al thank you for being their when my mom needed you!.


When Success Goes to Your Head


It lacked the focus, power and conviction of Otis Redding Live In Europe, or James Brown at the Apollo, granted they are different singers than Al Green. I thought this Al Green performance in Tokyo, circa 1978, while better than many soul/r&b singers, was rather self-indulgent and for me, disappointing. It's a rather loose, meandering affair that may have translated better if it was the accompanying soundtrack on a DVD.

Green hit his peak earlier in the '70s and was plateauing out at the time this concert was recorded. Notice the new Rock Star 'do, noticeable bling-bling and clothes. In a few years, Al would renounce all this materialism to become a man of the cloth.

It's a good performance, okay, but it was not what I expected. Go pull out Al's earlier studio albums and cut through the live indulgences and vocal theatrics. .


I love me sum Al Green!
Green is your man. If you want to hear someone with a great soulful voice then Mr. I have to admit that the sound was not that good but it is worth your money. If you are a true Al Green fan then this needs to be in your collection. His voice is amazing a must buy.


al green at his very best...
it incorperates many of his greatest and most popular hits with extended versions of lesser known songs into one compact album, producing a "live" album that reflects al green at his very best. to any serious fan of al green, LIVE- IN TOKYO is a must for the collection. i own every al green cd, including the anthology, and LIVE- IN TOKYO is the one i find myself listening to over and over and over. if you are looking to expand your collection, i insist you seriously consider this one. if you are new to al green, LIVE- IN TOKYO is the only choice for you. you will NOT be let down!.
