REVIEW BY: Paul Hanson

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 10/22/1998

After all of the punk, metal, alternative rock and jazz gets tosounding the same, and I need a break, I put in this disc. Recordedlive in Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. on June 15 & 16, 1995, this discserves as proof the band has been pigeon-holed as a band that has1) no talent and 2) nothing to offer to the world except mushy lovesongs.

While I can agree with number 2, I can't agree with #1. Talent?Graham Russell can hit the most amazing high notes withoutshrilling his voice. A clear tone that makes him one of my favoritevocalists.

Not my favorite. One of my favorites.

The set list covers the band's greatest hits from the pianointro of "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" through the soaringviolins in "All Out Of Love." Their cover of "Unchained Melody"showcases the tag team of Russell and Russell Hitchcock. Never hasa group with two vocalists sounded more in synch with each otherthan these two.
