Very Good Live Show
the Band is tight&Lionel Vocally is on point. OUTRAGIOUS!!!!!!!!!! Lionel Richie always brings it to the stage&this Disc Captures the Magic of his Many Classic Songs over the years. the pacing of the show is quick&very good all the way through. Hello was cool,but I really dug how he did "All Night Long" Live. he added a extra vibe to that song live. I wish the Collection could have kept on going because it was tight. very well Arranged&everything was Smooth. Lionel Richie is a Musical Genius.
OUTRAGIOUS GOOD!!!!!!
He is One of the Few Acts that to Me gets it right both in the Studio&on stage, he is a Artist's Artist. Lionel Richie is One of the Greatest Artists Ever&Live He is even better. Live as this set showcases He is on top of his game. I enjoyed His Vocals&the overall feel of the songs played Live. I saw him in concert back in the day&it Rates in my top 1-3 Performances that I have Ever seen Live. this Man is a Musical Genius&He ain't lost it. a Must have for all Lionel fans Everywhere. OUTRAGIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!.
Wonderful live album!
He is still in fine form singing his biggest solo and Commodores hits such as All Night Long, Still, Three Times a Lady, Penny Lover, Stuck On You (even the crowd's singing to the words!), Dancing on The Ceiling and his most recent hit Angel. Lionel Richie's Encore live album is wonderful! Though it came out three years later in 2004 of his 2001 concert in England, this is a very energetic live release. I still feel like I'm at the concert after hearing this CD! And to these longtime artists doing standards albums, they need to take some pointers from Lionel and tear up some stages to sing their biggest hits and newer songs! The fans don't play around--they know all the words, just as these fans did at Lionel's concert for this album! This is yet another superb performance from Lionel, who's still at the top of his game in music! .
Believe It Or Not, He's Still Got It
But this live album proves just the opposite. You'd think that after nearly 20 years past his heyday and a few voice operations that Lionel Richie may have lost his touch. Richie hasn't lost any of his magic.
"Encore" may be brief (12 songs) but it is a very lively and enjoyable concert. Lionel blasts his way through some of his best known tunes, including "Three Times A Lady", "Easy", "Brick House", "Penny Lover", "All Night Long", "Stuck On You", "Say You, Say Me" and "Dancing On The Ceiling". While these renditions will do nothing to make you forget the originals, they are nonetheless great performances. The only reason I gave the cd four stars instead of five is because of the mediocre (and short) performances of "Hello", "Running With The Night" and "Angel".
So give yourself and pick up "Encore". It's definitely worth it.
